VPCART8.00 comes with a new feature called “Modules
Manager”. Admin/merchants can easily maintain the addons/modules or gateways
installed in their site without manually checking any installed addons/modules
or gateways from an FTP site. These can be done using Modules
Manager.
Modules Manager is located inVPCART Control Panel :Modules »
Modules Manager.
After installing your V8 site, the Modules Manager will
show 0 records in the list. Then after that, let’s say you purchased the
Cart Cookies addon and installed it into your V8 site,then if you go to Modules
Manager, it will auto detect and show a new record there.
The same thing
will happen if you purchase a new module later on. For example, if you install
SEO manager into your site, the Module Manager will list two records like in the
example below:
This
new feature is very useful for administrators to know what addons /modules have
already been installed. Please note that Modules Manager will not detect any
language addons installed.
For each of the modules or gateways installed, you have the
ability to edit those modules/gateways settings or configurations.
For
example, you have an existing Cart Cookies addon installed in your V8, then you
can just click the icon edit and you can see all the related settings for the
Cart Cookies addon. See screenshot below:
Note:If your VPCART site is from an older version like
7.00 or 6.50 and below, Modules Manager will not initially detect any existing
addons or gateways after the upgrade. It can only detect 8.00 modules or
gateways.
Please also note, using Modules Manager to activate a payment
gateway, VPCART will only allow you to enable a gateway. Let’s say in Modules
Manager you have Authorize Net, SagePay and First Data gateway installed. When
you try to enable Authorize Net, all the other gateways will automatically
turned off.
The limitation for multiple gateways is only in the Modules
Manager. If you already have Paypal payments (e.g. Express, Paypal Website
payment Pro, Paypal Standard etc..) they will not be affected with this
limitation. Means you can still use multiple Paypal payment.
