Shipping price calculator and One page checkout
Included in the package please check magento backend system->configuration->web-and-people section.
If you get 404 error when you try to access any extension, please relogin to the backend.
If you are using non English language(es):
"Most Popular" sentence is not present in the default language packs. We need to add it manually.
Open file directory where your magento is. Go to "app/design/frontend/default/lightshop_blue/locale/"
There is a "en_US/translate.csv" file there. Copy it to any locale you need (like "da_DK/translate.csv") and edit "translate.csv" file.
It holds this text:
"Most Popular","Most Popular"
You need to change it to:
"Most Popular","[[Most popular in your language]]"
Note that file encoding should be UTF8.
Congratulations! Your magento theme is ready!
We also recommend adding lightbox extension to your Magento
Note! Magento 1.4 has a built in WYSIWYG Editor. There is no need in Rich Editors extensions.
