Installation

Important

The English version of this Visual CMS documentation serves only as a basis and for developers and does not contain all details. More comprehensive documentation can be found in the German documentation.

Visual CMS 7.0 is included in OXID eShop Professional Edition/Enterprise Edition 7.2.

System Requirements

The following theme is supported for this version:

  • APEX Theme with Twig Template Engine

Hint

All modules from OXID eShop 7.1 come without Smarty templates.

Installation

  1. Visual CMS is installed automatically in case of OXID eShop default installation.

  2. Navigate in the OXID eShop administration area to Extensions ‣ Modules.

  3. The module activation must be carried out there in the following sequence:

    1. Media Library

    2. Summernote WYSIWYG Editor

    3. Visual CMS

Hint

In OXID eShop 7.1, the media library and the Summernote WYSIWYG editor have been removed from the Visual CMS and integrated into the OXID eShop as independent modules. It is therefore now necessary to activate these modules separately before activating Visual CMS.

Update

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

Hint

The Visual CMS icon widget has been removed with OXID eShop 7.0. This change leads to an improvement in store performance, as Font-Awesome no longer needs to be integrated on every page. Provided that in the module settings Extensions ‣ Modules ‣ Visual CMS ‣ Settings ‣ Front end ‣ Inject Font-Awesome is deactivated.

In CMS content in which the widget has been used, it is automatically removed when it is opened and saved in Visual CMS.
