These are the official instructions for the Installation of CES VaultWiki Categories. These instructions are subject to change over time, between releases of the software.
IMPORTANT! Always back up your files and your MySQL database before attempting to install a modification.
Upgrading
From 1.0.1 to 1.0.2
- Follow the instructions for a new installation.
From 1.0.0 to 1.0.1
- Upload all files in folder upload to ther respective directories on your webserver.
- Go to ACP / Plugins & Products / Manage Products and import product-ces_spec_cat.xml
Installation
These are the installation instructions for version 1.0.2 and higher. The mod does not generally function properly prior to 1.0.2, so you should not be installing an earlier version.
File Uploads
Extract the contents of ces_spec_cat.zip to a local directory. Upload the files contained in the /upload directory to your server.
Install the Product
Log into vBulletin's AdminCP and import the product-ces_nwsp_spec.xml file.
Create Namespace
For new installations, you may want to create new forums for your categories if you don't already have a forum you want to use. You will need at least one forum where the Parent Forum is set to "No Parent." You will not be able to Enable Wiki in these forums using the "Wiki" value until a parent forum is connected to the namespace via the Namespace Manager.
In the CES VaultWiki navgroup, open the Namespace Manager. For new installations, you will have to create a you should "Add New Namespace" that will contain your wiki's categories and fill out the settings however you like, selecting one of the forums you created earlier here. If you are upgrading, make sure the settings here are correct. Once you have saved the namespace, note the Namespace ID in the leftmost column of the manager. It will be needed shortly.
New installations can now go back to the Forum Manager and set the appropriate forums to "Wiki." Keep in mind that the forum selected in the Namespace Manager must be set to "Wiki."
Modification Settings
In the vBulletin Options navgroup, open vBulletin Options, and select CES VaultWiki Categories. Set the option "The Namespace ID of the Category namespace" to the Namespace ID we noted of earlier. If you are upgrading from a version prior to 1.0.2, notice that this value will be completely different.
If you are upgrading and this value is not correct when you move on, it is possible that you will lose all of your existing category listings.
When you are sure all the settings are correct, return to the Namespace Manager, and next to your Category namespace, click "Rebuild."
Installation Complete
CES VaultWiki Categories has been successfully installed.
