Module Installer
What is it?
A great feature of version 4 is the ability to easily upload and install modules. These will be either updates or additional modules released by Devellion on CubeCart.com, or third-party modules from this site.
Modules for affiliate, gateway, language and shipping can be installed or updated using this method.
Installing or updating a Module
Click on browse and select the ZIP file containing the update. Then click on upload, and the following dialog (or something similar) will appear indicating it has been uploaded.
There may be additional requirements to installing the module, for example removing a previous version first. If there are this will be included in instructions available with the download.
