Does anyone actually understand how to install a mod?
I have the "private photo" mod, but for the life of me can't follow the instructions, and if you want to post a question on expertzzz you have to pay!
On my SMF forum, the mods are self installing, but if you are using a theme other than the default you occasionally have to modify the files manually, a pain but no great difficulty.
I notice in admin there is an option to upload modules, what are they?
I tried to do the installation on that basis, i.e. modify the files myself, but when I got to stage 6 (modifying upload media.php), some of the code it said to look for wasn't there, so that stopped me in my tracks, below are the instructions minus the code itself, is there something I'm missing?
