Installing Magento Extensions : Easy Install Guide

Make sure you've gone through the Pre-install Checklist before starting!

Copying the files

1. Unzip your extension package.
2. Inside that package you'll see Step_1, open that folder inside your FTP app.
3. Locate your website's Magento app folder in the same app. You should now have the contents of Step_1 on one side, and your main website folder (containing the Magento app folder) on the other side. Check that you see an app folder each side.
4. Drag the folders from inside Step_1 into your remote site (the important thing here is not to drag on top of another folder, or the files will be placed in the wrong location - easiest is to drag onto a file or blank space on the remote side).
5. You may be asked Merge or Replace? by your FTP app. Choose Merge for folders and Replace for files.
6. When that has completed, open Step_2 in your unzipped extension folder.
7. Using the same procedure, copy the contents of Step_2 into the same location in your Magento installation.
8. If you're using a 3rd party admin theme, you may need to also copy the contents of skin/adminhtml/default/default folder into both skin/adminhtml/default/[skin name] and skin/adminhtml/go
9. If you're installing pickPack and are going to be attaching fonts to your PDFs (eg. custom fonts or non-Roman characters), then, also using the same procedure, copy the contents of Step_Optional_Font_Pack into the same location in your Magento installation.

Clear the cache and assign user permissions

1. Go to the SystemCache settings, and clear all caches (click Flush Magento Cache and Flush Cache Storage).

   Do this even if you have caching generally disabled.

2. Log out then Log in.

   This will allow you to edit the config page for this extension (and avoid the 404 error).

3. Head to SystemPermissionsRoles
4. Check that you have assigned the new Moogento Extension options to the appropriate roles, and save.

   • If saving an admin role, likely you have 'All' resources set; just re-save this:

   

   • If saving a partial access role (eg. granting pickers access to create Packing Sheets), find the new Moogento sections and grant as needed (eg. here is access to mass-action menu options):

   

   • Don't forget to set the access to the System>Configuration section if you need to:

   

5. Head to SystemPermissionsUsers
6. Check that you have assigned the correct role (that we just granted the appropriate Moogento Extension options to) to the appropriate users, and save.

   

7. Navigate to SystemConfiguration and then to the specific config page for your new Moogento Extension.
8. At the top, if this extension requires a license key, enter your license key (this will have been emailed to you; you can also find it inside your Moogento account downloads section).
   • Click the 'License' word to expand that section if it's not already showing the key entry field.
   • Enter the key and save the page:

   

9. Save this page.
10. Check that it works at a basic level; this is also a good time to check your public store front. I would also make a test order at this stage.
11. If everything is ok and you have previously disabled compilation, now you can enable it.

You should now be setup at a basic level.
