Removing Extension

Quick Module Deactivation

In order to quickly deactivate the module, you will have to rename this module’s config file

/app/etc/modules/Plumrocket_Product_Filter.xml

by changing its extension from “.xml” into something like “.xml_”

After you rename the file be sure to clear Magento cache.

Removing Magento Extension Manually

If you want to delete all the files and folders including all the extension-related data stored in Magento database, you will have to delete all the files from the list below (note, CODE_POOL can be either community or local folder):

/app/design/frontend/base/default/layout/productsfilter.xml 
/app/design/frontend/base/default/template/productsfilter/ 
/app/code/local/Plumrocket/Productsfilter/ 
/app/etc/modules/Plumrocket_Productsfilter.xml 
/skin/frontend/base/default/images/plumrocket/productsfilter/ 
/skin/frontend/base/default/css/plumrocket/productsfilter/ 
/skin/frontend/base/default/js/plumrocket/productsfilter/

Below you will find the SQL command designed to delete both tables and attributes from the database:

DELETE FROM core_config_data WHERE `path` LIKE 'productsfilter/%';
