Great Mod! But the problem now (just for newbie like me) how to install?
As you can see this is actually my first post here!

That is not helping much for me.

1) Upload files via ftp to where? which folder?
2) There is one 'upload' folder and a'.xml' file, where should I place it.
3) How to activate it?

Sorry, i haven't install a mod before. Please help, thanks.

Ok i uploaded it. Do we have to re name the upload file? Also i just get the upload file main directory but no actual site. Then when i try to open it, it says something like this:

Warning: main(./global.php) [function.main]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/andrewki/public_html/forums/vbay/admincp/vbayadmin.php on line 15

Fatal error: main() [function.require]: Failed opening required './global.php' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/andrewki/public_html/forums/vbay/admincp/vbayadmin.php on line 15

I can't still figure out how to change or even add categories. The drop down is always blank.

Another question: Can I charge users for every auction they start?

You upload the content of the "Upload" folder to your forum root (NOTE: Not the "Upload" folder itself, just the content). That means you upload it to wherever your keep your forums. For a lot of us, that's just the main directory. For others, they keep their forums in a folder called "forum".

XML files are imported via your Product Manager. Go to your Admin CP >>> Plugins & Products >>> Manage Products >>> Add/Import Product. Then refresh your Admin CP to see if you have a new menu option.


Did you remember to import the XML file?

Thanks Digital Jedi!

Successfully installed!

One more thing :)

What is that really means? Another mod?

how? i see no categories in adminCP

Not only my problem then. Any hint guys?

Any way to block vbay from being viewed by unregistered guests?

Yes i uploaded it. I read what you said for the other guy and you said that you do not upload the folder upload? So where do i put everything else?

You upload the contents of the "Upload" folder, but not the folder itself. You just upload the contents to your forum root, that is wherever you keep your forum. Look inside the "Upload" folder and you'll notice that its contents are structured just like your forum's contents, with an admincp, images and includes folder. Uploading all that just the way it is, will add the contents of those folders to the contents of the corresponding folders on your website (in addition to the main vbay, vbayimg and vbaytn files), which is where they need to be in order for the product to work.

Also, you don't upload the XML file, you import it via the Product Manager as I showed above.
