You're not understanding what I'm saying.


What I mean by the possibility of accidental overwriting is: The installation instructions say simply this.

Upload all the files from the "forums" directory in this zip into your forums directory.

That's it. If I didn't know what I was doing and simply followed these instructions there's the potential to overwrite your forums admincp folder, images folder, includes folder, and clientscript folder.

The instructions should say to install the contents of each of these folders into their corresponding folders on your server. Otherwise, there is the potential to overwrite these folders.

Does that make sense?

[Biker_GA]

No. The contents of the AdminCP folder in the zip file are supposed to go into the AdminCP folder on the server. It doesn't overwrite the folder. The contents of the folder are written to the corresponding folder on the server.

No, it doesnt make sense.

Folders do not get overwritten, only files of the same name would get overwritten, thats basic facts about how file copying/uploading works.

He understand and give you the accurate reply.
Let's say you have "Folder A" on the server containing "file1.php, file2.php, file3.php and file4.php" and you have "Folder A" on your desktop with "file1.php, file2.php, file3.php, file4.php, file5.php, file6.php" inside it.

When you upload "Folder A" from your desktop to your server, It will only overwrite existing files and adding new files. It does NOT overwrite the folder itself. So, you will still have your Folder A with all the files intact in addition to the new files you uploaded.

[Frogsong]

So you're saying that if I upload the admincp folder itself, in it's entirety, to my forums directory, it wouldn't overwrite the folder in the directory but rather open itself and upload the files in the folder to the corresponding folder?

[Frogsong]

Ahh, thank you Nyunyu. I did not know that because I've always been afraid to try it.

I installed it and it seems fine in the ACP. I'm thinking the link to it would be

www._______/forums/arcade.php ?

When I open that it says I don't have the permissions to view it.. yet I'm super admin.

You need to go into your usergroups and set the permissions for Arcade.
