LiteCommerce:Installing/Uninstalling Modules

This article refers to LiteCommerce 2.x only. For user manual to LiteCommerce 3.x, please visit this website.

Installing modules

Before starting installation of a new commercial module, you should upgrade your cart license to the new version which includes this new module.

The new "License Certificate" is in "My Licenses" section of your X-Cart Account:

• Click the "Certificate" link opposite the corresponding license. The "License certificate" window will appear.
• Copy the whole license text and paste into the "License" window under the "License" section in the cart admin area. The license text has two parts (customer information and license key). You should copy the full text of the licence (both parts).

In order to install a module, select the 'Modules' section in the 'Settings' menu of the Administrator Zone. The list of currently installed add-on modules will appear (Figure 7-1) with activated modules coming first, followed by deactivated ones.

To install a module, click on the 'Browse…' button, select the module's '.tar' file and click on the 'Install' button to add the module to your store setup. Module installation screen will come up with the installation progress details (Figure 7-2). During the installation, the add-on module modifies the relevant templates and database tables and creates additional ones as needed.
