Installing the Articles module 1) Installing on web site: ======================= Via FTP: ======== Most people will want to use this method... 1.1) Unarchive the Articles archive on your computer using your favourite archive utility (such as WinRAR - http://www.rarlabs.com/rar_archiver.htm). 1.2) Upload the folder called "articles" (do not rename it, or change the case!) and its contents to the "modules" folder on your web site using your FTP client. 1.3) Go to section 2.1. Via SSH/Shell: ============== If your ISP provides you with SSH access, you can use this method. More experienced Linux/FreeBSD users may find it quicker. 1.1) Download the articles archive (or upload from your computer) to somewhere on your web site. You can do this easily using "wget" e.g., wget http://www.urltoarchive.com/filename.tar.gz 1.2) Go to the XOOPS module directory, e.g., "cd /path/to/xoops/modules" 1.3) Extract the Articles archive, if you downloaded the *.tar.gz version, this can be done by "tar zxvf articles_archivename.tar.gz". If you have the *.zip archive, use "unzip articles_archivename.zip". 1.4) Delete the archive if you no longer need it, to save web space. 1.5) Go to section 2.1. 2) Installing into the XOOPS system: ================================= 2.1) Log in to your XOOPS web site as an administrator, and navigate to the modules admin area ("system admin -> modules"). Scroll to the lower section of the page where the modules that are not installed are listed. 2.2) Click on the "Install" icon for the Articles listing and follow the instructions. 2.3) Click on the Articles icon in the left, add one or more categories and then any articles you want.
