How to install vQMod for JooCart?
JOOCART (>=2.2 )
For JooCart(>=2.2) you should use default OCMOD instead of vQmod.
If you still want to install vQmod in JooCart(>=2.2 ) then follow the following instructions:
vqmod installation in JooCart(>=2.2) is same as like as vqmod installation in opencart.
- Download the latest version that has "opencart" in the title from https://github.com/vqmod/vqmod/releases
- Using FTP, upload the "vqmod" folder from the zip to the JooCart component folder(your_joomla_root_directory/components/com_opencart/)
- Be sure the vqmod folder and the vqmod/vqcache folders are writable (either 755 or 777).
- Also be sure index.php,index_mod.php and admin/index.php are writable.
- If not sure which you need, first try 755.
- If you get errors about permissions, then try 777(NOTE: 777 permissions are dangerous and should only be used as a last resort. If your hosting requires this, consult your hosting to let them know this shouldn't be necessary)
- Goto http://www.yoursite.com/components/com_opencart/vqmod/install
- You should get a success message. If not, check permissions above and try again
- Load your store homepage and verify it works.
- Using FTP, verify that there are new "vq" files in the "vqmod/vqcache" folder.
- If yes, then you are ready to start downloading or creating vQmod scripts.
