Title: Exploring Cursor AI for Cloning Themes – Share Your Prompts!
Post by: Basara on June 27, 2025, 09:08:58 AM
Hi everyone! 👋

I've been experimenting with Cursor AI to clone the Novator theme into a new extension for AbanteCart. The process involves copying PHP, SQL, and XML files, updating paths, class names, and layout configs etc.

It worked quite well, but as Cursor AI adapts based on the input, I'm curious:

👉 What prompts or approaches have you tried when using AI tools with AbanteCart?
👉 Any tips for improving the cloning process or making templates more flexible with AI?



Would love to hear your experiences, suggestions, or even test cases!

Very cool. I tried and got new blank extension created after 3 correction with AI prompt.

Hey! That's a cool project! I've been dabbling with AI for similar templating tasks in other systems, and the prompt engineering really makes a difference. Specifically, try focusing the AI on individual file types, like first asking it to refactor just the PHP for naming consistency before moving on to the XML. Also, have you tried using AI to optimize the CSS once it's cloned?  Anyway, thanks for sharing your experience! Good luck!
