PrestaCollege

A Prestashop module for use in school classrooms. This module is one of the results of the project Fit for E-Commerce which is co-funded by the Erasmus+ programme of the European Union.

Features

PrestaCollege lets you:

• export and import database and file snapshots of shops which can be easily distributed to student's shops
• create fake data for your shop

Installation

1. You need a working Prestashop installation.
2. Download the latest PrestaCollege release. Make sure to download the prestacollege.zip file!
3. In the Prestashop backend go to the module manager and click 'Upload module'. Drag and drop the prestacollege.zip file onto the dialogue.
4. The module should automatically be installed. If the installation fails make sure that your php.ini values for upload_max_filesize and post_max_size are set to a larger value than the size of the prestashop.zip file. I would recommend to set the values to 128M - this should also be sufficient for file snapshots.
