Instructions for importing from myDownloads to WF-Downloads. If you want to update an older version of WF-Downloads please select 'Update'. |
The SmartFactory STRONGLY recommends you take a full backup before INSTALLING or UPDATING any module.
Note: When you do the import the update script will copy the data from the mydownloads tables into the database of wf-downloads. After this is done you will still be able to use mydownloads. It is possible to have wf-downloads and mydownloads running at the same time.
Upload the 'wfdownloads' folder to {xoops-rootdirectory}/modules folder
CHMOD the following folders to 777: wfdownloads/images Also make sure that the {xoops-rootdirectory}/uploads folder is set to 777.
Login as webmaster and enter Xoops Administration page. Select System --> modules and install wfdownloads
Go into the WF-Downloads admin area. At the top you will find a link Import data. Click on this one and you can choose to import your mydownloads data. Once you did so go into the permissions tab to set the permissions for the imported categories. Until you changed the category permissions you will not be able to see the imported categories/files.
Most important steps now will be to setup the group permissions for the module and its blocks via System --> groups
If you want to use only WF-Downloads you can now disable and uninstall the MyDownloads module.
wfdownloads/images/category
wfdownloads/images/category/thumbs
wfdownloads/images/screenshots
wfdownloads/images/screenshots/thumbs
and than within wfdownloads administration Mimetype management to decide which files are allowed to be uploaded
by users and administrators.
