Geeklog Forums

(see "There's GOTTA be an easier way" by same author)

I think these install directions would be a little more helpful for the Forum plugin than what's currently there.

1.0 Uncompress archive

a. Either uncompress the archive directly into /plugins

OR

Uncompress the archive onto your local hard drive and upload (via FTP) the entire /forum directory into /plugins.

b. The entire contents of the archive should now be uncompressed in /plugins/forum

1.1 Navigate to / and make directory /forum

1.2 Copy contents (files and directories) from /plugins/forum/public_html (or /forum/public_html) to /forum

1.3 Navigate to /admin/plugins and make directory /admin/plugins/forum.
1.4 Copy contents of /plugins/forum/admin to /admin/plugins/forum.
1.5 Copy contents of /plugins/forum/themefiles to each themefile directory in /layout. Since everyone should have the “professional” layout, e.g., you would copy into /layout/professional.
1.6 Append the contents of /plugins/forum/themefiles/additional-forum.css to each themefile directory’s style.css (e.g., /layout/professional/style.css).

ah ha ha ha ha ha

ok, everyplace you see a leading "/", insert a ""

I didn't use the quotes and the text between the direction arrows got filtered out.

AH HA HA HA HA HA

okay, ANYTHING between direction arrows gets filtered out... so insert "geeklog_dir or local" and pretend it has direction arrows around it....
