The directory structure of the Theme.
The directory structure in which the theme is located:
- assets - here are the main styles, images, fonts and javascript of this theme
- css - here are additional styles
- helpers – here is the theme widget code
- images – here are additional images
- js - here are additional javascripts
- views/layouts – here are the main theme layers
- views/modules – here are template files for various site modules
- views/site - here are template files for main page, login page, registration page, password recovery and search form.
To understand how layers work in the layouts folder, consider the main layer in the file layouts/main.php
Gray and blue are parts of the main.php layer. They are displayed on all pages of the site. 2, 3, 4 these are parts of the template that may be various on different pages of the site. As a rule top and lower part from files header.php and footer.php remain the same on all pages of the site. Only the middle block is changing – 3.
Template main.php is used for the home page, file inner.php is used for internal pages.

Slider widget and popular directions
If there is a “Slider” module, slider pictures can be managed in admin panel. With a module "Paid services and payments" in the slider you can add a listing picture using a paid service “Add to the slider on the home page” (the listing will be added to the slider on the home page. Since version 1.15 objects in the slider are displayed in random order).
The template for displaying the slider is in the file -
themes\basis\views\site\_slider_homepage.php
Popular directions display widget is in files -
themes\basis\helpers\BasisPopularDestWidget.php — code
popular_dest_seo.php – template
If you want to show something else instead of the “Popular directions” widget, you can edit the html code in the file themes\basis\views\layouts\index.php
<div class="col-md-5 col-sm-12 col-xs-12">
<?php $this->widget('BasisPopularDestWidget') ?>
</div>
Remove the widget display by replacing the code -
<?php $this->widget('BasisPopularDestWidget') ?>
with your.
Also the slider and widget “Popular directions” can be turned off in the Basis Theme settings.
In order to make changes in files, we recommend you to use text editor Notepad++ or any other, which can support correct work with coding "UTF-8 without BOM".
