Hi
I am a joomla member and love RT - i would like now today to become a magento club member also especially from my interest in your extensions
I have a question and maybe you can help
I am looking at different hosting options for magento, and notice that some hosts offer a prebuilt magento package... as does magento themselves (Magento Go)
However with these pre-ready magento solutions, FTP access is not available.
If that is the case, how do i go about installing RT magento extensions, or RT magento templates?
Or is it better to take a normal hosting package with FTP access?
Would really appreciate a speedy answer from anyone in the know
Thanks a lot

- Our themes and extensions aren't compatible with Magento Go. They are for the Community Edition. So go for that, with the easiest option being to install it yourself using one of our RocketLaunchers (which comes with some simple sample data, the theme and all extensions and their settings included). Regarding hosting, Nexcess.net are supposed to be good for Magento.

Thanks for the reply Sam
That's what i figured
One further question though (sorry!)
You said it's for the community edition
I understand its not for the Magento Go hosted solution
but basically for the one where i can download all magento files myself and upload to ftp
But the non-community editions (ie Professional / Enterprise)
The way i understood it...the pro/enterprise i can also get the files for and ftp up....in other words i can have a pro/enterpise edition but host myself and use rockettheme??
The reason why i ask is the pro and enterprise editions have added security and features etc which i will want.....but i also want the edition thats not hosted ie with files i can ftp
So in summary
i will want the NON-hosted solution (not magento go)....but the Professional edition, on my own server...with the files i ftp....... with RT extension/template
Is this possible?
Thanks again Sam

We currently only support the Community edition. I haven't tested the themes with the Professional / Enterprise editions, as I haven't been able to find a Professional / Enterprise package available for download (and I'm not paying 16,000 USD to get them :shock: ).
However, as far as I can tell by researching online, there's not too many differences template wise so I *think* they might work ok. If you do decide to go for one of the paid versions, I'd be happy to look over the files to check compatibility. - STEP 1 IN MAGENTO DEVELOPMENT - DISABLE YOUR CACHE OR YOU WON'T SEE ANY CHANGES.
