Please find as follows a short overview how to install our Magento extensions, using the sample of the AdvancedInvoiceLayout extension:
Preparations:
- Do a backup of your Magento installation for safety reasons (database and files).
- Disable Magento compilation feature (if activated): System->Tools->Compiler
- Uninstall probably existing previous versions of the extension
Installation
- 1Unzip the setup package and copy the contents of the src/ folder into the Magento root folder. (The folder structure
is the same as in your Magento installation (e.g. app/, skin/, ..). No files will be overwritten.)
Please assure that the files are uploaded with the same file user permissions as the Magento installation! - 2 Clear the Magento cache (z.B. System->Cache Management) and related caches if available (e.g. APC, Varnish, ..).
- 3 Logout from the admin panel and then login again.
Congratulations, the installation has been successfully completed!
