This page describes installation Smartpost Magento extension. As you can see, it’s quite straightforward but some tips may be helpful. You need to have a fully working Magento installed as a prerequisite. Smartpost extension requires at least Magento version 1.4.
We call your website your.magento-site.com. Replace it with fully qualified name of your website.
- Extract the Magento_Smartpost.zip archive to a temporary folder. This is your $source folder. Your Magento installation folder is your $destination folder.
- Copy files and folders from $source/app folder to $destination/app folder. It is important to copy all included subfolders and their structure!
Example in Linux: go to source folder, for example cd vhosts/your.magento-site.com/tmp. This is where you unpacked the files. app folder is vhosts/your.magento-site.com/tmp/app. So you’re in tmp folder and your Magento installation is in vhosts/your.magento-site.com/htdocs
Then copy the app folder like this: cp -R app ../htdocs/app
- Now remove your Magento cache from $destination/var/cache (delete that folder). Also remove $destination/app/etc/use_cache.ser if it exists.
- Open your Magento admin and go to System->Configuration->Shipping Methods. You should see Smartpost there.
- Configure your Smartpost. Most fields should be self-explanatory.
- SmartPOST E-Teenindus API URL is http://eteenindus.smartpost.ee/data/orders.phpserialize
