Installation

Visual CMS |ProjectVersion| is included in OXID eShop Professional Edition/Enterprise Edition 7.

System Requirements

The following themes are supported for this version:

  • APEX Theme with Twig Template Engine

  • Wave Theme with Smarty Template Engine

Hint

The Wave Theme is no longer part of the OXID 7 compilation, but can be installed later. If this is used, the “Visual CMS Smarty support” module must also be installed and activated. See: Installation Visual CMS Smarty support module.

New installation

  1. Visual CMS is installed automatically during an OXID eShop standard installation.

  2. Navigate to Extensions ‣ Modules in the eShop admin area

  3. Activate the module Visual CMS

Installation Visual CMS Smarty Support Module

  1. open a shell and change to the root directory of the eShop (where the composer.json file is located).

    Example:

    cd /var/www/oxideshop
    
  2. Execute the following command:

    composer require ddoe/visualcms-smarty-module
    
  3. Activate the module in the admin area under Extensions ‣ Modules.

    Alternatively, to activate the module in the main store, run the following command:

    ./vendor/bin/oe-console oe:module:activate ddoevisualcmssmarty
    

    To specify in which subshop the module will be activated, replace [SHOP-ID] with the number of the desired store:

    ./vendor/bin/oe-console --shop-id=[SHOP-ID] oe:module:activate ddoevisualcmssmarty
    

    Hint

    Additional information about the module can also be found in the README of the module.

Update

Updates are done automatically with every OXID eShop Update via Composer.

Hint

The OXID eShop version 6.5.4, which is expected to be the last version in the main branch 6, was delivered with Visual CMS version 3.6.1. If the latest Visual CMS version with the Bugfix is required, this can be done via an alias:

composer require ddoe/visualcms-module: "3.6.2 as 3.6.1"
