Installation instructions
If downloaded package has .ocmod.zip extension, you can install it using Extension Installer. If you see "The directory is not allowed to be written to" error message, download Extension Installer Fix from this page and install it. Then install the main extension.
In any other case or if you want to install it manually, unpack and upload all folders to the root of your store. If there's install.xml file in the package, rename it to extension_name.ocmod.xml, replacing "extension_name" with extension's name, and upload it to "system" folder.
When upgrading from previous version rewrite all existing files. Refresh modifications cache from Extensions -> Modifications page.
Note for OpenCart 2.0.X users
Sometimes OCMod inserts modification in multiple files, which are separated by "|" character in XML-file. On earlier OpenCart 2 versions a comma was used instead. To quickly fix this, open XML file and replace all occurrences of "|" character with "," for "path" attribute in every applicable <file> element. Search for "<file path=" to quickly find and highlight all elements.
Note for OpenCart 2.3 users
On OpenCart 2.3 compatibility code is broken, which may lead to Permission Denied issue, when you access extension settings. To fix this you need to install OpenCart 2.3 Compatibility Fixes extension.
The right sequence of actions is the following:
- Download our purchased (or free) extension, but do not install it yet (uninstall, if already installed).
- Install OpenCart 2.3 Compatibility Fixes extension.
- Refresh modifications cache from Extensions -> Modifications page.
- Go to System -> User Groups and select all access/modify permissions for your group.
- Install our purchased (or free) extension.
If you did everything right, everything will start working properly.
Note for OpenCart 3 users
NOTE: Instructions below are required only if "admin" or "catalog" folders are present in the package!
To install and use extension on OpenCart 3 you need to install OpenCart 3 Compatibility Fixes. It adds backward compatibility with old extension structure plus adds back support for .tpl files and enables automatic template engine detection.

Extension Setup
Installation and settings
Copy contents of the archive to your OpenCart folder, go to Extensions -> Shipping, find Lithuanian Post, click Install and then setup accordingly. Most things explained right in the tips to each option in settings, so, please, read them carefully. We tried to be as much specific as possible.
NOTE: OpenCart countries will be automatically linked with Lithuanian Post countries, but not all of them. Some countries you'll have to link manually in settings.
IMPORTANT: There's a large array of data being saved. If you see an error, when saving settings, add these lines to your php.ini file:
max_input_vars = 5000
suhosin.post.max_vars = 5000
suhosin.request.max_vars = 5000
If variables mentioned above exist, change their values to 5000 or higher.
