BosDates v4.5 Manual
Installation
Now that you have the files unzipped on your computer, you need to transfer them to your server into the directory you wish the calendar to appear in.
The most common way of transferring the files is to use a File Tranfer Protocal (FTP) client such as CuteFTP, WS-FTP or similar. Microsoft Frontpage or Macromedia Dreamweaver HTML editors may also be used to publish files to the server, though this is our recommended way of transferring the files.
Users who are installing BosDates to integrate with vBulletin 3, will need to open the /integration/vb3.php file with a text editor and enter your vBulletin license #. This is due to vBulletin 3 using your license number as part of the cookie hash when you login. Make sure to enter your license number, and not your customer number.
Users who are installing BosDates to integrate with Joomla, will need to open the /integration/joomla.php file with a text editor and enter your "site name" and "secret" from your Joomla configuration.php file. This is due to Joomla using this information as part of their login process. Make sure to enter the information accurately so it matches the Joomla configuration file.
After you have successfully transferred the files to your server, you should have the following layout:
