Item Value
Add-on id kv_theme_atlas
Theme kv_atlas (child of responsive), installed from var/themes_repository/kv_atlas
Built with Kavio theme kit 1.x (kv-files.json in the theme lists every file with its hash and the kit version)
CSS prefix atl- (theme), kv- (kit)
  • design/themes/kv_atlas/css/kit/{fonts,base,features,addons}.less (kit layer), css/skin/skin.less (Atlas), styles/data/{Meridian,Harbor,Citrus,Night}.less (styles).
  • Block templates: blocks/categories/kv_atl_rail.tpl (department rail), kv_atl_depts.tpl (All departments button), kv_atl_tiles.tpl (department tiles), kv_atl_tree.tpl (department tree), blocks/products/kv_atl_grid.tpl (product section), kv_atl_scroller.tpl, kv_atl_mini.tpl, blocks/vendor_list_templates/kv_atl_shops.tpl, and the kit templates (kv_mega, kv_search, kv_icons, kv_phone, kv_gate).
  • Hook files in templates/addons/kv_theme_atlas/hooks/: index/html_tag.pre (data-atl tokens: settings and page type), index/scripts.pre (texts, settings and the department colour map for theme.js), products/product_multicolumns_list.pre (wish list heart, eyebrow, swatches), products/list_price_block.post (stock line), products/product_multicolumns_list_control.post (add button on every card, countdown, seller line), products/main_info_title.pre, products/promo_text.pre (highlights), products/product_detail_bottom.pre (promotion end and seller box). Core and add-on templates are not overridden, so add-on hooks keep working.
  • js/addons/kv_theme_atlas/theme.js: department colour slots, All departments dropdown, hero slider, scrollers, tabs row, colour chips, buy box assembly; kit components (bottom bar, buy bar, option chips, filter sheet, swipe gallery, back to top).
Hook Use
before_dispatch (storefront) assigns $kv_theme (theme, settings, data-kvt tokens, department slots) while the add-on is enabled, the storefront runs kv_atlas and the licence is active
dispatch_before_display (admin) notice while a storefront uses the theme and the design is off; demo content import after activation
update_addon_status_post warning when the add-on is disabled while a storefront uses the theme
gather_additional_products_data_post card eyebrow: atl_brand, atl_dept, atl_dept_id, atl_slot (kit: kv_promo_end, kv_seller)
get_categories_post department tiles only: atl_line (first sentence of the description)
get_companies_post Top shops only: atl_shop (product count, rating, three thumbs)
get_product_data_post products.view, Multi-Vendor: atl_seller (vendor facts, other offers of the master product)
Block cache callable_handlers.kv_theme_atlas = licence and settings state

Every data hook returns at once unless the storefront runs the licensed theme; the data depends on the catalogue only. Full page cache (4.21): the theme prints nothing visitor-specific; cart, wish list and compare counters are read from the core blocks in the browser.

Use a child theme or the Theme editor’s custom CSS. Upgrades replace only theme files you have not changed. Design tokens are LESS variables (@kv_*, @atl_*) set by each style file; the department colours are @atl_dept_1..8 with _soft, _tile and _ink variants and the CSS custom properties --dc, --ds, --dt, --di on elements with the classes kv-d1..kv-d8.
