Geeklog Ban Plugin
UPGRADE:
- Copy over all files to the proper locations (same as install instructions).
- In the plugins admin menu click the update button. There is no table changes this just updates the version number.
INSTALL:
- Back up your Geeklog Database. The Ban plugin adds a table to your Geeklog database. You can do
this with the built in admin backup facility.
- Take note of the paths for you installation. Look in the config.php for your site and note the
values of $_CONF['path'] and $_CONF['path_html']. $_CONF['path'] is the value for <geeklog_dir>
and $_CONF['path_html'] is the value for <public_html> in the instructions below.
- Uncompress the Ban plugin archive in the <geeklog_dir>/plugins directory.
- This will create a directory named 'ban'. Now create two more directories. For a standard install your admin
directory is just a subdirectory under <public_html> thus <public_html>/admin. If this is not
case for you because you had to move your admin directory then substitute the location of you
admin directory. Create the directory called 'ban' at <public_html>/admin/plugins/.
Thus for a standard install your directory structure will look like this:
<geeklog>/plugins/ban
\ - <public_html>/admin/plugins/stats
- Now move into the <geeklog>/plugins/ban folder.
- Move the contents of the 'admin' folder inside <geeklog>/plugins/ban to your
<public_html>/admin/plugins/ban/ directory.
- Log in to your Geeklog site as a root user.
- Go to http://yourdomain.com/admin/plugins/ban/install.php
- Click on the install button.
- You should receive a message that the installation was successful. Clicking on the Ban Icon will
take you to the admin page.
- If the install encounters an error, then the installation will be uninstalled automatically. If the
installation fails, check your Geeklog error.log for help determining what went wrong.
- Once installed you will find links to "Ban" in Admin Only and under the
Submissions moderation page.
