vB.Sponsors 2.0.x Installation Guide
Product Requirements
Version 2.0.5 has been tested with vBulletin 3.6x. If you need a version for vBulletin 3.5.x, please see vB.Sponsors version 1.x.

Product Installation

1.Extract the contents of vB.Sponsors.zip to your computer
2.Open upload/vB.Sponsors/link.php in notepad, wordpad or similar editor.
3.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/.
You can find the physical path to your forum directory by uploading the settings-check.php file that is located in the do not upload/vB.Sponsors directory. Upload this to the vB.Sponsors directory on your web site. To run it, simply browse to http://web.archive.org/web/200806120...ings-check.php in your browser. Please delete this file when you are done.
4.Upload the files in the upload directory to the corresponding directory on the web server under the forum directory.
5.Open the Admin CP of your board. On the left hand side scroll down to Plugins & Products.
6.Click on Manage Products.
7.Click on Add/Import Product.
8.Click on Browse... and choose the product-vB.Sponsors.xml file.
9.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.
