We would really like a members map as our site will be a global debate about the environment and the location factor may well be important

[Dave MacLeod]

if using the member map addon just slide it down in the acp, the apps can be dragged there.
think thats what you mean.

sorry having difficulty importing the downloaded app. how do i get it into my modules?

[padme]

do i have to ftp the files first?

[AndyF]

It includes instructions. FTP the files up as per the instructions, then install it via Manage Apps / Modules.

ugh. this is hard work. i've ftp'd it. I am still clueless as to what to do. will anyone come on board to help for pay?

[Dave MacLeod]

no need to pay, did you unzip and upload the files in the upload folder to your forum directory? if so the in your admin panel under manage applications it should show as ready to install.
if not you probably uploaded to wrong directory.

[padme]

oh. no i uploaded them to a separate ftp site. Lol. Ok will try again.

[padme]

yes cant find the right directory. ive uploaded it downloads now. where is the right place to upload the zip file?

[Dave MacLeod]

good article here

when you unzip the file there is folder called 1.06, indide it are the 2 folders to upload to wherever your site is.
if your site is in /forums directory then upload these to that directory, may have to allow over writing.

really is just a shorter version of what you did to install your site to begin with, same procedure just less files.

am i creating a new ftp site or using one i've had before and linking it in? I am SOOO confused

[Dave MacLeod]

where is your site hosted? you add/upload it to there.
you had to upload your ip site somewhere at some point unless you're using their hosted plan. if so I have no idea how they work.

[Michael]

You need to upload IP.Board applications into your forum's root directory. You do this given the FTP info your host provides, whether they be IPS or some other web hosting company. Do you have FTP info provided by your host which points to the folder where your IP.Board is installed?

[padme]

it's all hosted on IP board as far as i know

[Dave MacLeod]

if its an invision hosted community I have no idea how they work.
I thought I had read you submit a ticket or something similar to get them to add applications but I could be way off.

[Michael]

They should have provided you with FTP info too, installing third party resources is permitted when hosting with them, but it's something you do yourself. Go through the emails you've received from them and see if they've provided you with FTP details. If so, plug those into an FTP program (FileZilla is a good free one) and see if you can connect to your site.

[Dave MacLeod]

filezilla is great one

[padme]

ok cool i will contact them directly and ask now many thanks
