Someone just put me onto this contributionn and i am very greatful, but i cannot understand the installation instructions, can someone please walk me through them. i am very new to all this so i am sorry if this seems like a dumb question.

 

Here are the instructions:

 

Installation

------------

1) run the .sql file in the folder "Sql" of this file to apply SQL changes to

your database.

2) apply the "diff" patch or use "MS2 patched files" of this file, and copy

"New files" in you catalog folder.

Note: files in the folder "MS2 patched files/catalog" of this file are the

result of the application of the diff patch on a "clean" 2.2 MS2.

Note: we made this contribution by changing only english language files,

if you want to create your language file, view changes made in

Changed Language Files (see below).

You need to apply the sql to your database.

 

Then compare your files with the contribution files to see what amendments are required.

Your online success is Paramount.

You need to access your database via phpMyAdmin (should be a link to it in your web hosting control panel). Then you need to import the sql file for this contribution into the database.

That sounds like your osC admin. You need to access your database from your hosting control panel then your database and then look for the phpmyadmin link. Once there click on the sql tab and then you are ready to run your sql file.

The Knowledge Base is a wonderful thing.

Do you have a problem? Have you checked out Common Problems?

There are many very useful osC Contributions

Are you having trouble with a installed contribution? Have you checked out the support thread found Here

use beyond compare or some other code compare program and compare the new code with your code and then merge together. you have to do this carefully, if you place in the wrong spot, then things dont work.

I have really got no idea what that means.

 

I have installed the sql thing in the database, but have no idea what to do with the 22 php files that came in the zip file (and there are 3 customers.php and alot of others that have duplicates).

I am up to step 2 which reads like this, I am very new at this please be patient.

 

2) apply the "diff" patch or use "MS2 patched files" of this file, and copy

"New files" in you catalog folder.
