Prepare Module

If you havn't already downloaded LaunchPad Click Here.

The LaunchPad download is a "ZIP FILE" called launchpad.zip. This is an archive file which contains LaunchPad and help files. Before you can install the module, you must "extract" it from this zip file to a place on your computer where you can find it, for example the DESKTOP. Extract the files launchpad.mv and launchpad.mvc and follow the directions below.


Add Module



Adding any module to Miva Merchant needs this step. Open the Modules menu tree and click Add Module




Click the icon show. This kicks off the part of Miva Merchant that can upload files from your computer.




If you were UPDATING or UPGRADING a module, you would check the Overwrite checkbox. Click Browse and locate the module file that you downloaded from MivaCentral. The file is either launchpad.mv or launchpad.mvc. The easiest way to know which one you need is to look at your Admin url and match the extension:

ie:
admin.mv? Use launchpad.mv
admin.mvc? Use launchpad.mvc

When you've located the file on your computer click Upload




The previous step will upload the file to your server. Now click Add



USUALLY after installing a module you have to assign it to your store(s). That isn't necessary with LaunchPad, but there is one more step.

After installing LaunchPad you must LOGOUT of your admin, and LOGIN again.

This is a necessary step because LaunchPad changes the frameset that displays the admin content. When you login you should see LaunchPad below the normal Admin content like this:



If you DON'T see LaunchPad after you have logged in again the first time after installing go to the
