The AdCurve Magento Extension is available for Magento Community versions 1.7 - 1.9, or Magento Enterprise versions 1.12 - 1.14, and requires PHP version 5.3 or higher.

It is recommended that you create a back-up of your shop before installing any new extensions, and if possible install the extension in a test environment first to ensure that there are no conflicts or issues caused by the new extension.

The AdCurve extension uses the the Magento Cron Scheduler. For most shops this will already be active. If it’s not, you will need to active cron before starting the extension install.

 Finally, you will need to disable the compiler before starting the install. This can be found through your Magento control panel: System menu –> Tools –> Compilation

There are two ways to install the extension.
​

After extracting the files from the archive, locate the map with the file-name “App” and upload this to your Magento installation.
​
No files should be overwritten, however if your SSH or FTP client does prompt you to replace or merge files, please select merge.
​
Once the file is uploaded, you will need to clear your cache from the Magento Control panel. This can be found in System  –> Administration. Select Cache, select all options, and then “refresh” from the drop down menu and confirm.
​

Once the cache has been cleared, please log out of the Magento control panel.

​ 
​

 
Go to AdCurve and select Storeview 

When you log back in after installation, you can find the AdCurve extension with System  –> Configuration  –> AdCurve 

Select the storeview that you’d like to use with AdCurve.
​

On the configuration page you’ll find an AdCurve registration form. You will need to complete this form so that we can set up your shop in AdCurve.

Installation type
If you would like to run a test installation at first, please select the installation type “test”.

A test installation on a storeview can be overwritten by a live installation. Please note that a live installation cannot be overwritten.
