Adding Mods
 

Is there a tutorial on how to do this for beginners like me?

do you want to create your own mods OR just want to learn installing mods ..

if its creating your own, than I'd suggest you to start from tweaking existing mods. learn php/mysql

i d/l the mod i wanted but ask for the "XML" and i goto the place i d/l it to and it gives me a php and then a template. where can i find the XML?

Installing Hacks.

Search is great ;)

ok this is what i do.

1. i d/l the mod
2. went to my acp
3. found plugin and products
4. manager product
5. i scroll all the way down and click add import product
6. i goto the browse button find the mod which is this C:\Users\raw\Downloads\new moods.zip
7. i click import and this is what i get
XML Error: Empty document at Line 1

like i said im totally new to this trying to teach my self can someone tell me what im doing wrong.

You must unzip "new moods.zip" and find the .xml file inside of the archive. You want to upload that file.

ok guys im going to sit down tomorrow and go thru what everyone has said and I am not leaving the computer to i figure it all out..

Thanks for everyone help so far on the matter at hand!

do you have to upload all mods to ur server after you have uploaded the xml file?

The reason i ask is i finally figured out how to upload the mod to the forums I then go to vb options it is in the options and it is enabled, but I dont see them on my forums.

What am i doing wrong?
