The SmartFactory STRONGLY recommends you take a full backup before INSTALLING or UPDATING any module.

Import from Xoops MyDownloads into WF-Downloads

Note: When you do the import the update script will copy the data from the mydownloads tables into the database of wf-downloads. After this is done you will still be able to use mydownloads. It is possible to have wf-downloads and mydownloads running at the same time.

1. Upload the module to your website

   Upload the 'wfdownloads' folder to {xoops-rootdirectory}/modules folder

2. Change and verify folder permissions

   CHMOD the following folders to 777:

   wfdownloads/images
   wfdownloads/images/category
   wfdownloads/images/category/thumbs
   wfdownloads/images/screenshots
   wfdownloads/images/screenshots/thumbs

   Also make sure that the {xoops-rootdirectory}/uploads folder is set to 777.

3. Install the module

   Login as webmaster and enter Xoops Administration page. Select System --> modules and install wfdownloads

4. Start the Import

   Go into the WF-Downloads admin area. At the top you will find a link Import data. Click on this one and you can choose to import your mydownloads data. Once you did so go into the permissions tab to set the permissions for the imported categories. Until you changed the category permissions you will not be able to see the imported categories/files.

5. Configure the module

   Most important steps now will be to setup the group permissions for the module and its blocks via System --> groups
   and than within wfdownloads administration Mimetype management to decide which files are allowed to be uploaded
   by users and administrators.

6. Optional: Remove myDownloads

   If you want to use only WF-Downloads you can now disable and uninstall the MyDownloads module.
