The first thing to do before all, is to backup your files and your database.
Then, open the install file of the MOD and see what is written (it's depend of the MOD you are trying to install) :

1) The "COPY" action :

If in a MOD, you see something like that :

Code: Select all

      #     #-----[ COPY ]------------------------------------------     #     file.php -> phpBB/     file.tpl -> phpBB/templates/subSilver/

This just mean that you have to upload the file "file.php" into the phpBB root dir, and the file "file.tpl" into the template directory, directly without modify them.


2) The "OPEN" action ]       #     #-----[ OPEN ]------------------------------------------     #     common.php[/code]

Not hard to do : open the specify file into a text editor (notepad, wordpad, editplus,......)


3) The "FIND" action :

After the "OPEN" action, it's the most used ) used with the "FIND" action. I mean : you have a code to search, then the code to used instead of the previous code.
But you have to be careful with this action if you have others MOD's installed on your forum.

Example :

Code: Select all

      #     #-----[ FIND ]---------------------------------------------     # around line 225     <form>       #     #-----[ REPLACE WITH ]---------------------------------------     #     <form>  

In this example, i have to search for (This is in my original file) ]       <form>  [/code]

and to remplace by (This will be in my modded file) :

Code: Select all

      <form>

so, in my modded file, i will have ]       <form>  [/code]

7) The "IN-LINE FIND" action :

This is, with the "IN-LINE AFTER, ADD" and "IN-LINE BEFORE, ADD" actions (see the next actions), the best action to use by the MOD's authors (i think that but it's just my opinion

Code: Select all

      #     #-----[ IN LINE FIND ]------------------------------------------     #     t.topic_title,

Like it's a little hard to understand like this, i give you a example


11) The "SAVE/CLOSE ALL FILES" action :

This is the last action




But don't forget : before all, backup your files and your database.



I hope this tutorial will help you <img>

I need to upgrade my entire PHPBB for Integramod, not individual modules. Did I understand you right that this is for individual modules?

I just want to upgrade my site, not modules.

Is this what it takes to upgrade the PHP? Eeegawd!

What ZIP file?

I'm still a noob at this, and without pointing where things are, I don't have a clue.

Thanks for helping an ignorant noob, still.

At this point, can someone do this for me?
