Hello,

my Version: 3.0.3.8

after 2 days exploring opencart i have a general question: WHERE ARE USEFULL TUTORIALS?

Use cases which i try to make work (for the moment):

1. Creation Theme
- i would like to use SASS for style purpose, so how to include it (see also here my question about)
- created a new theme the name of the theme does not appear in the admin panel...

...but the source code indicate the right one loaded.
I use for the moment this tutorial. Here, after the copy/install of all files, the name appears in the admin panel.

Question: where to set the name of my theme?

2. including payments
- i would include paypal, i have already a merchant account and a the sanbox
- first i see, there are seven different paypal extensions,
Question: which paypal payment extension i have to use?

There are many more question for the development, so the summary should terminate in one QUESTION:

Where can i found a corresponding tutorial/documentation about opencart developement ?

By the way, obviously i know about the offical developer documentaion, but its very small and not very useful.

Thanks and greets

Theme name is heading_title in admin/language/en-gb/extension/theme/<yourtheme>.php.

For the PayPal extensions see. viewtopic.php?f=198&t=223242#p818337
If you are going to use the PayPal Commerce Platform extension. Make sure you are using the latest from the marketplace, which has the bug and security fixes. The one included with 3.0.3.8 is an old version.

Yes it was, but i didn't change the content of this file.

Again, is there a tutorial which is recommendable and complete? So i can avoid maybe questions like that.
