Step 4 - Upload Files

Upload the new vBadvanced CMPS files and your modified vBulletin files to the directories listed below.

root folder - cmps_index.php (you will probably rename this file to index.php once everything is set up)
root/forums - global.php
root/forums/admincp - index.php, vbacmps_install.php, vba_cmps_admin.php
root/forums/includes - functions_calendar.php, functions.php, adminfunctions_template.php, vba_cmps_include_top.php, vba_cmps_include_bottom.php
root/forums/images/misc - noavatar.gif
root/forums/modules - Upload this folder and all of it's contents

[BOSS 302]

Click on forum to show sub directory's

Attachment 2

Click on sub directory's to show files for uploading in addition to the edited files as mentioned in previous post.

Attachment 3

If you click on admincp directory, it shows the 2 files to upload into the admincp directory within your forum.

I am still lost... All i have done so far is downloaded VBA, what should i do next "in layman terms" Can i just send the files thru FTP, or do i need to do a bunch of weird stuff 1st?

[TTG]

There are "layman terms" instructions in the readme.html file which came with the package you downloaded.

The 'weird stuff' I presume you refer to are the file edits !?
These are listed within the package and must be completed and then upload the edited files with the new files from the vba_cmps.

Files to be edited :-

/forum/global.php file: (3 Changes)
/forum/admincp/index.php file
/forum/includes/adminfunctions_template.php file
/forum/includes/functions_calendar.php file
/forum/includes/functions.php

I having trouble!!! I dont see a "module" folder in my FTP, to throw all module files in etc


I need answer fast please help!

[TTG]

You won't see a modules folder until you upload the folder from the cmps package !?

[BOSS 302]

Okay i "think" I have done it all! But something aint right, wont install says error at the page online to install! What is wrong? How can i find out?

[BOSS 302]

any one? I really dont know whats wrong, when i go to my site/forum/admincp/vbacmps_install.php. It says error 404 dont exist etc, I have changed and uploaded all files correct and everything any ideas?

[Brian]

Did you upload the file to your admincp directory?

[BOSS 302]

wait i just installed it! but when i go to my homepage it dont show up the new thingy, just goes straight to forum still, why?

[Brian]

Do you have your forums installed in your root directory? Either way, the script is named cmps_index.php by default, so you have to go to that file and then rename it when you are ready for it to become your homepage.

[BOSS 302]

so i go to FTP, and change the name to my site url? Will that make my forum dissapear? ( a forum is all i have at my site)

[Brian]

You need to follow the instructions in this thread then:
http://www.vbadvanced.com/forum/showthread.php?t=25

[BOSS 302]

Okay, i did that. But for some reason when i go to my homepage it says "sites coming soon" from my web host. I have to type in mysite/index.php? i cant just type my site name and get the home page. any idea whY?

[Brian]

Sounds like you have an index.html file in your root directory. If you do, remove it.

[BOSS 302]

root directory meaning ftp parent folder with all the folders and files in it? I ranamed that too forum, thought i was suppose too....

[Kirby]

You can't rename your root/home directory (exceppt you got root access and can change the whole server configuration).

[BOSS 302]

well i changed i did it a diff way then most prolly do. haha. But its up and it works.. Thanks Brian and kirby. Keep up the good work Brian. Your avatar kicks ass, can i say ass here? Oh well... Dragon ball z!

BTW

here is my site

[BOSS 302]

I dont have a center column even though its turned on according to settings. did i install wrong?

[KW802]

Did you specify a forum to use for your news forums? :)

[BOSS 302]

what do you mean? where do i change that? does that even have anything to do with the modules?

[Brian]

Admin CP => vBa CMPS => Default Settings => News Forum ID

[KW802]

what do you mean? where do i change that? does that even have anything to do with the modules?
ACP --> vBa CMPS --> Default Settings --> News Options --> News Forum ID

The ID number of your default news forum. To display threads from more than one forum, enter a list of forumids seperated by commas. Example setting: 1,4,9

[BOSS 302]

Yea that made it show up, I entered 1,2,3 just random for a test. But why did pic threads from mt forum. I am not sure i undestand.... How do i make it say what i want.

[ConqSoft]

You put the ID of your News Forum, then any thread you post in that forum will show up on the main page.

[BOSS 302]

So i cant makea front page and keep it that? Its gonna keep changing when i post?

[ConqSoft]

That's the purpose of the News block.

If you want a static module, you can add that too.

[ConqSoft]

For your site, you'd probably want to use forum 22 for your News Forum.
