CHAMELEON – SKIN & TEMPLATE EDITOR
HANKEME CHAMELEON – SKIN & TEMPLATE EDITOR allows you to edit skin-, template- and layout-files directy via the Magento backend. Thus it is not necessary any more to work on the webserver using FTP or SSH to adapt the design of your Magento frontend. Simply select the desired file in the backend editor, make your changes and hit the Save button.
After installing the extension you will see an additional menu entry in the Magento backend menu named „Template Editor“. From here you can reach the file browsers for „Skin Files“ and „Template & Layout Files“. By browsing the Magento folder structure you can simply select the desired files and edit their contents by clicking the "Edit File" button. Additionally you can create new files and create backup copies of existing ones.
HANKEME CHAMELEON – SKIN & TEMPLATE EDITOR is especially suitable for smaller web design tasks and template adaptions. It is inspired by a popular functionality known from WordPress.
Please note: the HANKEME CHAMELEON – SKIN & TEMPLATE EDITOR is not supposed to replace a professional development environment. This extension should only be used by experienced users, as ist makes it at least theoretically possible to overwrite Magento core files or delete files that are inevitably necessary for a proper functioning of your website. Additionally your whole Magento installation might under circumstances be destroyed, for example by the use of inappropriate PHP-Code in template files.
We strongy advise you to follow these security instructions:
- Always do changes of your files in a development environment first. Test them thoroughly before releasing them to the live store.
- Be sure to grant access to the extensions functions only to trusted users who are skilled in web design or web development.
