Mod Problem!

[Nathan]

Yes you should have already done that, follow the instructions as you see them 🙂.

 

[PbE]

....Where do I upload them? 😛
And what do they mean by: "File Copy"

Does freeforums.org give you that ability? I did not think you could install your own mods there.

 

[Nathan]

They don't so i doubt his installing this mod on the forum in his signature.

PbE whereever it tells you to copy them, copy them. Only change the /styles/prosilver/ to styles/yourstylename/

....Where do I upload them? 😛
And what do they mean by: "File Copy"

1.) Where do I upload the Ultimate Points files?

2.) And do I copy before, or after I add all the other files to my site?
And, I don't get it, how can I copy a file to the place it tells me to copy a file From Here, to There. I'm coping it to the same place..?
(And, nope. I'm not installing these Mods on Freeforums.)

When you access your site via FTP or whatever you use. The "root" folder is where your forums index.php is contained. You take everything in the mods "root" folder and upload it there. Then you upload your modified files. Then you follow these instructions Nathan gave you.

Upload them to your servers, run root/install_ultimate_points.php, purge your cache and edit the settings to your likings in the ACP.

MAKE SURE YOU MAKE BACKUPS OF EVERYTHING. Sorry to shout but its very important 😉

 

[Nathan]

But make sure you copy the template files to your template and not prosilver.

 

[PbE]

Ok. I don't know WHERE to upload the 'Ultimate Points' files to!

Just anywhere? Or in a Phpbb3 file?

 

[cityStatic]

You upload it to the main area. or the directory where you have the forum.

 

[PbE]

Let me try. Hopefully its right....

 

[PbE]

So, I just put it in the "htdocs" ?

Just put the files anywhere in the htdocs?

 

[Nathan]

Alright go to your computer where the mod's edits (files) are saved. Go into the root directory, copy every folder in there except for the /styles/ directory, copy them over to your FTP client.

Now go into styles/prosilver/ and copy the files in there to styles/yourstylename

Do as i said before and your done.

 

[PbE]

Meh... I don't understand.... 🙁

 

[Sshadow]

Everything gets uploaded into your root folder where index.php is.

EXCEPT the files that would normaly go in styles/proSilver/ should go in styles/yourstylesdirectory/

any better?

 

[PbE]

So... Upload the mod files Here: http://i38.tinypic.com/2d9zo7b.jpg (htdocs)
And upload the edited files back to the same folder/files?

 

[Nathan]

Yes, upload all the files except for the /styles/ directory, then go into the /styles/prosilver/ directory on your computer, then the /styles/yourstylename/ on your server, then upload all the files in /styles/prosilver to your server in /styles/yourstylename

😉.

 

[PbE]

Wait.. Why am I uploading prosilver files to my other style folder..?

And, I thought I just uploaded the edited files to the same folder that I got them from?....

 

[Nathan]

Well you said your style was based off prosilver so that's why you do it, unless your using prosilver that is.

 

[PbE]

But..... I didn't edit any of the Prosilver files..?

So, shouldn't I just upload the 'Mod Files' and upload the 'Edited Files' and run the /install ?......

 

[Nathan]

No you need to upload the mod's template files, so do as i said otherwise half the features won't work, infact pretty much all user features won't.
