vBulletin Manual - Importing / Installing a Product

Having downloaded a product from vBulletin.com's Members Area or vBulletin.org, the product manager contains a link labelled [Add/Import Product].

Clicking this link will load the Add/Import Product interface, which contains two forms. In this instance, we will be using the Import Product form.

Import Product Form

Importing a product is done in much the same way as importing a style, or a language pack. You simply need to click the [Browse] button and navigate with the file dialog to the product XML file you downloaded.

Alternatively, if you have uploaded the XML file to your server via FTP, you can specify the relative path to the XML file from your forums directory instead of using the [Browse] button.

If you are installing a new product, you should leave the Allow Overwrite option set to No, but if you are installing a new version of a product you have previously installed (upgrading) then this option should be set to Yes.

When the form is complete, hit the [Import] button and the XML file will be imported, installing any templates, phrases, plugins etc. that are specified within that XML file.
