This module is fully compatible with the following versions of the engine:

  1. OpenCart v.3.0.2.0

Module installation is quite simple and requires no special skills.

  1. Unpack the archive with the module
  2. Before installing the module, you need to know the PHP version of your server, as it is written in detail in paragraph 3.
    If the PHP version of your server is known, then you can go directly to step 4 of the "Installation"section.
  3. To find out the PHP version of your server, you need:
    • Create in the root directory of the store, i.e. where the file is located index.php file with name phpinfo.php
    • In the created file to write the following code:
      <?php phpinfo(); ?>
    • Then, in the address bar, type http://site.ru/phpinfo.php (instead site.ru write your website address)
    • You will get a page with your server data, which at the top will be the PHP version of your server.
  4. Open the folder for version PHP 5.4-5.6 if your server version PHP 5.4, PHP 5.5, PHP 5.6
    Open the folder for version PHP 7.1-7.2 if your server version PHP 7.1, 7.2
    and load the folder admin in the root directory of the store, ie where the file index.php



  5. In the administrative part install the module.
  6. Activate the license on the module.





  7. To links to topics editors were available in the main menu, you set the modifier, go to "Extensions->Extension Installer" and download the file admin_quick_edit.ocmod.zip, which is in the archive with the module.



  8. After that, go to "Extensions->Modifications". You should see the installed version for this module. If you can not see, then the modification is not installed, go back and try again. Once the modification is installed, be sure to click the refresh button to update the cache system.



  9. After successful installation, the main menu (at the top) will be a new category of "Magic Editors"
