Superstage Documentation

It's always handy to have a good product documentation around. We certainly do allocate an updated documentation for Magento Superstage on this page explaining installation, integration, product implementation and configuration processes.

Superstage Installation

You will receive the Magento Superstage extension compressed in a tar-File called superstage.tar. For installation process please follow these steps:

  1. Upload superstage.tar into the root
    directory of your Magento installation
  2. Connect to your server with SSH and run
    the command "tar -xvf superstage.tar"
  3. Login to the Admin Panel of your Magento Shop
  4. Navigate to System » Configuration » Advanced
    and make sure Velite_Superstage is enabled.


Notice that the template files get copied into the directory of the default design template (/magento/app/design/frontend/default/default). If you want to use the Superstage in a different template just copy the layout/superstage/ and template/superstage/ directories to your desired template.

 

Superstage Integration

Now, that the extension is installed, it's time to ingerate the Fullscreen button on your product pages. Please navigate to your Template Directory to do so, e.g. /app/design/frontend/default/default/

  1. Open layout/catalog.xml in a text editor (skip this if you use 1.5 or higher)
  2. Search for the Block with the attribute name="product.info".
    Inside of this Block paste the line: <block type="superstage/index" name="superstage.box" as="superstage_box" template="superstage/box.phtml" /> (skip this if you use 1.5 or higher)
  3. Load template/catalog/product/view.phtml in your text editor
  4. Add the line <?php echo $this->getChildHtml('superstage_box'); ?> at the position you want the Magento Superstage fullscreen button to appear.
