Description

This package is an extended Magento CE 1.7.0.2. It provides a slightly modified installation process, a form to enter all relevant store data in one place which is displayed on first admin user login. On completion of the form, caches are disabled and indices are refreshed.

A few useful and preconfigured modules are shipped with the distribution:

• German Language Pack
• FireGento_GermanSetup (for base settings and adjustments for the German market; will be called on form submit)
• FireGento_Pdf (to create better PDF invoices)
• DerModPro_BasePrice (for displaying the price per base unit, required in many cases according to German Laws)
• PRWD_Autoshipping (for displaying shipping costs in cart even when no shipping address is entered yet, see this German blog entry)
• Phoenix_CashOnDelivery (Payment Method)
• Mage_Debit (Payment Method)
• IntegerNet_RemoveCustomerAccountLinks (for hiding unneeded links in customer account, see this German blog entry)
• AvS_AdminNotificationAdvanced (for better handling of notifications, see this German blog entry)
• AvS_ScopeHint (to show conflicts in configuration, see this German blog entry)
• Treynolds_Qconfig (to provide a quick search for the system configuration)
• Ikonoshirt_CustomAdminNotifications (to allow integration of additional news feeds)

On top, some core modules are disabled which are not needed for typical German Shops:

• Mage_Usa
• Mage_PaypalUk
• Mage_GoogleCheckout

• Mage_Centinel
• Mage_XmlConnect
