Hi,
i m new in prestashop. but i hav experinc in custom php and other cms like wrdpress, magento etc..
here from researching i had found that to move the homepage slider, we need to edit the modules/homeslider/homeslider.php file.
will it effect the future prestashop updation? if yes, what i suppose to do for these changes?
i m editing the default prestashop theme files now.
please help me.. i hope you guys will help me with this..

Also i would like to integrate the agile's multivendor module with my site. will it make any layout issues?(i am editing the default theme to match with my design.so i am editing the css files too. that's why i have this doubt).

Yes if you update the original core files from PrestaShop, it will be affected in future updates. It is better not change core file directly.
But if you just want to change the design, you can create an override theme file to override original one.
The override folder will be
/themes/yourthemefolder/modules/name_of_the_module/

For common classes files, you can add your code to override classes files instead of original core file. The folder will be
/override/classes/

And for page controller, the override folder is
/override/controllers/front/
/override/controllers/admin/

It will depends on the themes. Most theme should be fine. but some themes may need some small adjustment.

Basically our modules do not create new theme files, all styles inherits from your theme.
So if your theme changed prestashop radically, like css lass name, it will affect the pages from our modules.
