Installation
1. Upload all files and directories including at "vbulletin" directory to the directory where vBulletin is installed.
2. CMOD the following directories to 777
1. /photos (inside vbfengine directory)
2. /tmp (inside vbfengine/photos directory)
3. /thumbs (inside vbfengine/photos directory)
3. For security reasons backup your database AND turn your board off
4. Check at your AdminCP->vBulletin Options->Plugin/Hook System that Plugin system is enabled.
5. From your AdminCP->Plugin System->Manage Products choose Add/Import Product and import the product: product_vbfengine.xml
6. If you want to add a link to your nav bar then you must edit the NAVBAR template:
1. Search For:
Code:
<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="calendar.php$session[sessionurl_q]">$vbphrase[calendar]</a></td>
2. Add Below:
Code:
<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="vbfengine.php$session[sessionurl_q]">Profiles</a></td>
3. ....or use any other word you want
7. By default none usergroup has permissions to use vbfengine, so you need to give permissions to any group. Goto AdminCP->Usergroups->Usergroup Manager and edit any usergroup you like to give permissions.
8. *** IMPORTANT *** If you don't give to Guest at least "can use" permissions, then they must NOT be able to see the links (Tell a Friend function).
9. If you've installed vbSEO, Login into vbSEO Control Panel, click "Custom Rewrite Rules", insert rewrite rules (attached in vbseo-rules.txt to not lose formatting) and save settings.
