how do i install a contribution

[moneybanks14]

ive downloaded a new add on that enables me to have separate price listing. v4.22 or something like that.

 

i uploaded all of the files in folder and overwrote the old ones..

 

it didnt seem to work, so dont know if i did something wrong.

 

there was an sppc_v421_install.sql

 

wat do i do with this?

 

or has anyone installed it successfully that could help me.

that mod must have install instructions...you must run the sql file in the database...phpmyadmin from your hosting control panel

You need to read the installation instructions very carefully and follow them meticulously. Unless you have a totally unaltered site just overwritting files will mess it up big time.

 

To run sql

 

1) Go to your ISPs admin area for your site.

 

2) Click on the icon for Database administration or Mysql, then find the link for phpmyadmin, it might be hidden away at the bottom but not on all admin sites. If you can’t find this, please consult your ISP's help desk.

 

3) In some cases, you may have to choose which database your OSC tables are located on. If this is the case, please choose using the dropdown box.

 

4) Click on "SQL" on the navigation bar.

 

5) Enter/paste your SQL in the textbox provided or, if you have a file containing the sql commands, click on Import and follow the on screen prompts.

 

6) For both methods click "Go"..

 

7) If all goes well, your SQL query will run successfully
