Prestashop 1.6: PDF invoice encoding issues for Chinese language

File to change is located at classes\pdf\PDFGenerator.php
Generally:
Change helvetica font.
Delete useless languages, leave only ‘zh’ => ‘cid0cs’,
Change encoding.
Than on English language documents Chinese characters are displayed correctly (address, names, etc….)
Probably it works for other languages too.

Source: https://www.prestashop.com/forums/topic/336709-presta-15-cant-display-chinese-characters-in-pdf-documents/?p=1702105

class PDFGeneratorCore extends TCPDF { const DEFAULT_FONT = 'helvetica';

public $header;
public $footer;
public $content;
public $font;

public $font_by_lang = array(
‘ja’ => ‘cid0jp’,
‘bg’ => ‘freeserif’,
‘ru’ => ‘freeserif’,
‘uk’ => ‘freeserif’,
‘mk’ => ‘freeserif’,
‘el’ => ‘freeserif’,
‘en’ => ‘dejavusans’,
‘vn’ => ‘dejavusans’,
‘pl’ => ‘dejavusans’,
‘ar’ => ‘dejavusans’,
‘fa’ => ‘dejavusans’,
‘ur’ => ‘dejavusans’,
‘az’ => ‘dejavusans’,
‘ca’ => ‘dejavusans’,
‘gl’ => ‘dejavusans’,
‘hr’ => ‘dejavusans’,
‘sr’ => ‘dejavusans’,
‘si’ => ‘dejavusans’,
‘cs’ => ‘dejavusans’,
‘sk’ => ‘dejavusans’,
‘ka’ => ‘dejavusans’,
‘he’ => ‘dejavusans’,
‘lo’ => ‘dejavusans’,
‘lv’ => ‘dejavusans’,
‘tr’ => ‘dejavusans’,
‘ko’ => ‘cid0kr’,
‘zh’ => ‘cid0cs’,
‘tw’ => ‘cid0cs’,
‘th’ => ‘freeserif’
);

public function __construct($use_cache = false) { parent::__construct('P', 'mm', 'A4', true, 'UTF-8', $use_cache, false); $this->setRTL(Context::getContext()->language->is_rtl); }

Than change it like this:

class PDFGeneratorCore extends TCPDF { const DEFAULT_FONT = 'cid0cs';

public $header;
public $footer;
public $content;
public $font;

public $font_by_lang = array(

‘zh’ => ‘cid0cs’

);

public function __construct($use_cache = false) { parent::__construct('P', 'mm', 'A4', true, 'gb2312', $use_cache, false); $this->setRTL(Context::getContext()->language->is_rtl); }

Prestashop 1.6: Currency conversion issue Paypal module

E.g. Default currency USD
Customer shop with EUR
Backoffice Payment setting for Paypal module: Shop Default Currency
Paypal module Configuration options (Express Checkout shortcut (Offer your customers a 3-click checkout experience)
Express checkout disabled/enabled no difference

Let’s say, 100 EUR value is 150 USD

Result:
At Paypal checkout, 100 EUR becomes 100 USD
For some reason, there is a bug in Paypal/PS that only changes the currency symbol to the Shop Default Currency without converting the value.

Solution:
Download the process.php file from Prestashop forum. It ensures Prestashop only send ONE default shop currency value to Paypal regardless of what currency customer selects (which is what I needed)
Source: https://www.prestashop.com/forums/topic/268556-solved-currency-not-supported-in-paypal-358/page-2

Backoffice Payment setting for Paypal module must be set to Customer currency
Express checkout disabled/enabled no difference

Prestashop: Allow wildcard search

Source: https://www.prestashop.com/forums/topic/280306-native-prestashop-search-module-issuessolved-casesimprovementsother/
The search index indexes on individual words and as it is now, wants you to give a search word from the beginning of the word.

To fix this, we need to edit the file Classes/Search.php

to fix this, change the code a little like this: (find the lines in the code above and add the % three times:

...
? ' \'%'.pSQL(Tools::substr($word, 1, PS_SEARCH_MAX_WORD_LENGTH)).'%\''
: '\'%'.pSQL(Tools::substr($word, 0, PS_SEARCH_MAX_WORD_LENGTH)).'%\''
);

if ($word[0] != '-')
 $score_array[] = 'sw.word LIKE \'%'.pSQL(Tools::substr($word, 0, PS_SEARCH_MAX_WORD_LENGTH)).'%\'';
...

Prestashop 1.6: how to centralise logo in new theme

Source: http://www.prestashop.com/forums/topic/318418-solved-center-logo-in-new-theme-16/
open header.tpl file (located in your theme dir) and remove this code:

<div id="header_logo"><a title="{$shop_name|escape:'html':'UTF-8'}" href="{$base_dir}"> <img src="{$logo_url}" alt="{$shop_name|escape:'html':'UTF-8'}" width="{$logo_image_width}" height="{$logo_image_height}" /> </a></div>

then go to /themes/default-bootstrap/modules/blocksearch/blocksearch-top.tpl and paste code that you removed at the end of the file

Possible issue: This edit may affect the responsive layout, leaving the logo in the middle of the screen in between Search block and Cart block.
