New install, how to?

[GaryT]

I have just purchased the blog add on for 3.6.8 patch level 2.

I need instructions for a "new install", not an upgrade. Keep in mind I'm new to vbulletin. Any existing threads for this? I can only find instructions for upgrade.

To install the blog on top of vBulletin, go to the admin control panel > products & plugins box > product manager link > browse down the page that loads and click on import product > select the .xml file after uploading all the files to the web server and select yes from the yes/no question. And click the import. And you're done.

Thank you so much! I have but one more question:
I uploaded the "product-vbblog.xml" and everything took off but, I notice there are three more xml files in the same folder, bitfield_vbblog.xml, cpnav_vbblog.xml, and hooks_vbblog.xml. Do I do anything with them?

You upload all the Blog files.

Thank you Sir and thanks to the others for their help. It's working great!

No, vBulletin will automatically process all the files. Installing addons is nothing more but uploading the files and importing the product-*.xml file
