~Modification installation
Step 1: Modify .htaccess file
This step is for those that installed phpFoX Konsort with the Rewrite mode enabled. With your FTP client or hosts file manager navigate to your phpFoX websites root directory.
Open the file .htaccess. It should look something like this (Note: The example below is not an exact replica of how your .htaccess file will look like, we are mainly focusing on the RewriteCond):
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/file/.*
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/install/.*
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/design/.*
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/plugins/.*
RewriteRule ^index.php(/.*)$ /index.php?do=$1 [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/file/.*
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/install/.*
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/design/.*
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/plugins/.*
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/index.php
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/robots.txt
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/favicon.ico
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php?do=/$1 [L]
To get this plug-in properly working you will have to add the following line of code twice in the .htaccess file above each of the RewriteRule inserts:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/forums/.*
Your .htaccess file would then look like:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/file/.*
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/install/.*
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/design/.*
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/plugins/.*
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/forums/.*
RewriteRule ^index.php(/.*)$ /index.php?do=$1 [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/file/.*
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/install/.*
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/design/.*
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/plugins/.*
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/index.php
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/robots.txt
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/favicon.ico
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/forums/.*
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php?do=/$1 [L]
Step 2: Install vBulletin
Our first step will be to install vBulletin. We can not go into great detail on how to install vBulletin, however you can check out their great documentation here.Before you attempt to install vBulletin there are some factors you will need to take note of:
* When you upload their product it must be placed in a folder and the name of the folder must be forums. This folder must be placed in your phpFoX websites root directory. Proper layout would be: http:///www.yoursite.com/forums/
* The vBulletin tables must be placed in the same database as phpFoX.
* phpFoX should be installed with a database table prefix. By default this prefix is phpfox_. If you did not install phpFoX with a table prefix you will have to install vBulletin with a table prefix.
* This plug-in was not developed to work under a sub-domain environment yet,for that you have to wait for v3. (Example: http://forums.yoursite.com/)
* During the install of vBulletin you will be asked to add an Admin User. This user will shortly be deleted by our integration and replaced with your main phpFoX Admin account.
Step 3: Edit config.php file.
Edit the config.php file in the vbulletin folder and change the name from forums to whatever the vBulletin subfolder is called in the PhpFoX directory.
Step 4: File uploads
Upload the whole vbulletin folder to the phpFoX plugins folder.
Step 5: Importing
Notice: Read this step thoroughly before attempting to import any data.
For those that already have phpFoX running and just installed vBulletin you will have to do the step Import phpFoX Users.
For those that already have vBulletin running and just installed phpFoX you will have to do the step Import vBulletin Users.
Import phpFoX Users
Run the import file through your web browser by entering the URL into your browser address bar (if you have followed our example, type in http://www.domain.com/plugins/vbulletin/install/import.php, naturally substituting 'domain.com' for your web address.)
Import vBulletin Users
Run the import file through your web browser by entering the URL into your browser address bar (if you have followed our example, type in http://www.domain.com/plugins/vbulletin/install/vb_import.php, naturally substituting 'domain.com' for your web address.)
Step 6: Integration and edits
Now lets log into your vBulletin Admin control panel. Note that it will not work to log into your site using the phpFoX login forum. You will have to use the vBulletin login form. (Example: http://www.yoursite.com/forums/index.php). Note that you will need to log into vBulletin with your phpFoX Admin account, which is the same account you log into your phpFoX site.
Follow the next steps below:
Update Forums Cache
Go to: Forums & Moderators >> Forum Manager >> Then edit the forum called Main Category. Save that forum without making any changes.
Update Forums Counters
Go to: Maintenance >> Update Counters Then rebuild the following:
Rebuild Thread Information
and
Rebuild Forum Information
Enable Plug-In System
Go to: vBulletin Options >> vBulletin Options >> Plugin/Hook System
Change the setting:
Enable Plugin/Hook System
To Yes
Importing the plugin
Go to: Plugins & Products >> Manage Products >> Add/Import Product
Look for the block Import Product and then for EITHER upload the XML file from your computer browse for the XML file product-konsort.xml which was part of the package you downloaded from phpFoX. Then click on the import button.
Template edit (Optional)
Go to: Styles & Templates >> Style Manager >> Edit Template (on all your styles) >> Open template header
Remove the part of code between the logo comments.
