Note: You cannot upgrade the Kalles theme from version 4.3.x to 5.0.x, as the core structures of these two versions are entirely different. Kalles 4.3.x is built on the regular Shopify OS 2.0 theme, while Kalles 5.0.x is based on Shopify Theme Blocks. Therefore, to use Kalles 5.0.x, you’ll need to install the theme from the package and set it up from scratch
Theme Blocks Architecture Update:
1. Section Blocks Improvements
- Restructure existing sections into modular blocks
- Each block can be reused and customized independently
- Add dynamic settings for blocks
2. New Features
- Block-level Settings: Each block can have its own configuration settings
- Dynamic Block Rendering: Blocks can be loaded and rendered independently
- Conditional rendering based on viewport
- Discount code entry in the cart
3. This update will help Kalles theme:
- Easy to extend with apps
- Increase code reusability
- Improve performance
- Keep up with Shopify's new standards
