I thought I made it easy, and don't know what else to add to the install instructions. I'll try and clarify:
1. From the zip file, upload the admin/install_pptemplates.php file to your forums/admin directory
2. In your browser, type the path to the install_pptemplates.php (eg
http://www.domain.com/forums/admin/i...ptemplates.php)
3. Choose one of the following:
- 'new install' - installs the templates and then shows the file hacks to make
- 'file hacks' - View the files hacks that need to be done to the files (if you've already run the new install but need to see the file hacks again).
- 'uninstall' - remove the pp_ templates (NOTE: this will only remove the
default templates marked with a -1 in the templates table)
4. After making all the file hacks to the 17 photopost files and 1 vB file, upload the 18 files to your server where they need to go.
5. Delete all the photopost/templates/*.tmpl files EXCEPT menubar.tmpl and diewell.tmpl
6. Delete the install_pptemplates.php in your forums/admin directory after the install is complete.
The 'New Install' option will install the templates as default (-1) for all your themes installed. If you want to customize the templates for a more complex theme, go to your vBulletin Admin, choose Modify, choose Expand for the theme, and you will see the 'PhotoPost Templates' in the list.
Hope this helps.
