To Edit FORUM DISPLAY and FORUM HOME
----------------------------------------
Installation guide for vB.Sponsors 2.0.
Product Installation
Extract the contents of vB.Sponsors.zip to your computer
Open upload/vB.Sponsors/link.php in notepad, wordpad or similar editor.
On line 30, enter the path to your forum. This is the physical path not the URL. If your forum is located in /usr/com/userid/forums/, the path would be /usr/com/userid/forums/vB.Sponsors/
You can find the physical path to your forum directory by uploading and running the settings-check.php file that is in the do not upload/vB.Sponsors directory to the vB.Sponsors directory on your web server. Please delete this file when you are done.
Upload the files in the upload directory to the corresponding directory on the web server under the forum directory.
Open the Admin CP of your board. On the left hand side scroll down to Plugins & Products.
Click on Manage Products.
Click on Add/Import Product.
Click on Browse... and choose the vB.Sponsors-product.xml file.
Click Import.
Template Installation
You will need to modify the templates of your style(s). Sample template code is included with the download. This is for the default vBulletin style only. I highly recommend that you create a test style to apply template changes before you commit them to your regular styles.
