2.- Installation

• Step 1: Upload the contains of /forum directory to the same directory where you've installed vBulletin
• Step 2: CMOD following directories to 777 (inside vbdigishop directory)
  • /images
  • /products
    ATTENTION *** ATTENTION *** ATTENTION *** ATTENTION ***
    Don't remove the file .htaccess from your product directory
    except if you want everybody to be able to download them for free!!!!
• Step 3: For security reasons backup your database AND turn your board off
• Step 4: Check at your AdminCP->vBulletin Options->Plugin/Hook System that Plugin system is enabled.
• Step 5: From your AdminCP->Plugin System->Manage Products choose Add/Import Product and import the product: product_vbdigishop.xml
• Step 6: If you want to add a link to your nav bar then you must edit the NAVBAR template:

Search For:

Code:
<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="calendar.php$session[sessionurl_q]">$vbphrase[calendar]</a></td>
Add Below:

Code:
<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="vbdigishop.php$session[sessionurl_q]">DigiShop</a></td>



....or use any other word you want

• Step 7: By default none usergroup has permissions to use or order, so you need to give permissions to any group. Goto AdminCP->Usergroups->Usergroup Manager and edit any usergroup you like to give permissions.
• Step 8: In your adminCP, under vbDigiShop, choose vbDigiShop options and configure it depending on your needs. If you can't see vbDigiShop's menu, then press F5 to refresh the page, or logout and login again to your admincp.

3.- Setting your store

Step 1:
Create Categories and Subcategories if you need them. To create a subcategory, choose the action "Add subcategory" from the corresponding category.

Step 2:
If you plan to give to your customers a special usergroup, then setup these usergroups now.

Step 3:
Setup your products. Please note that every product has extra actions (eg Addons, Specials etc), but the sure way is to add firstly your products and then all the additional features.




What you can setup in a product:

• Name :-))
• Status: Active = For Sale
  Disabled = Still in database, but not for sale
  Upcoming = Not for sale, but visible in the site to the end users
• Code : Even if you dont need an accounting software is good to have codes
• Category
• Subcategory
• Manufacturer You can let it empty, I'm havning some plans for later upgrade.
• Price: Selling Price
• Discount price: This price is only valid if at a later time you add this product as promotion to another product. eg Buy vbMates and get vbPals at this discounted price.
• Short description
• Long description
• Image for product listing (have you cmod 777 the directory vbdigishop/images ??)
• Featured link. It's a URL (opens in new window) for more info about the product
• Demo link. As explained above but for demo
• Usergoup. Check one or more (Ctrl+Click) usergroups where the buyer will be added (He dont lose any current usergroup).

Step 4:
Now that you've setup your products is good to add some more features. First we need to make clear what is "AddOn" and what "Special". Having my site as example, I can say that vbArticles can have as addons: vBa blocks, Brand Free, etc. Special means that when a user buys vbarticles you can setup a different product let's say "vbPhotoVote" as special offer. It's very nice marketing tool and I'm suggesting you to use it.

4.- Copyright




Feel free to do anything with the code, eg by reusing the functions to develope other vBulletin modules, with only 2 major exceptions:

1. You'll credit my name and my website.
2. You'll not use the full or partial code, or any function to develope stand alone PHP script. In simple words use it as you like but only within vBulletin community.

*** vB 3.7 Compatibility ***

Most probably yes. I don't have time to test it. For sure it will not cause any problem in your site/database in case that you try to test it.

At images directory are storing the product's photo and in products directory are stored the zip files that you attach to each product for download.
