unselectable magento modules
animammal - August 14, 2009 - 18:00
My first post - You know its going to be a DFU fault.
I've installed magento and everything works fine. i've added the drupal extension and setup the "Magento Extend API" under System > Configuration as suggested here: http://drupal.org/node/468036.
I'm now trying to install the drupal modules. they installed fine but I cannot activate them under Administer › Site building.
Does anyone have experience with this
please help
thanks

Make sure that you put the
Make sure that you put the modules under

Hi coreyp_1
thanks for the speedy reply!
I have now installed the module in sites/all/modules/ as it was in public_html/modules.
No change - do i need to refresh the cache or something similar?
I have looked for required dependencies on the module page here:http://drupal.org/project/modules?text=magento and http://drupal.org/node/468036 but could not find any listed. Is there a specific place I should look?

All sorted thanks!
i've now got to work out how to use all this stuff... You up for hire?;)
Do I need to mark this thread as solved or like?
A Note of caution: You will
A Note of caution: You will be able to add products in Drupal using the product content-type but don't do this since products added in Drupal will not be sync with Magento. You must add all your products using Magento and let Drupal pull this data into it's DB. So this integration really is using Drupal as the frontend and Magento to handle all the ecommerce part except for displaying products.
I suggest you set a permission to disallow all users to use product content-type.
Thanks for the heads up
Thanks for the heads up duvien, think i'll do like you say - a better safe than sorry approach.
