1.- Usage

• Each user can has unlimited companies
• Each company can has unlimited items (shops, links etc)

2.- Installation










The installation is pretty easy, has been checked many times for installing and uninstalling the product. Just follow these steps below:

• Download and unzip the file microBUSINESS.zip
• Open the folder vbulletin and select all files and subfolders inside it
• Connect to your website and open the directory where is your vBulletin installation (usally forum, forums, portal etc).
• Upload the selected files to your site. If you fellow the right way then the file business.php must be on the same level as the index.php file of vBulletin.
• CMOD 777 folders:
  • microbusiness/files/
  • microbusiness/photos/
  • microbusiness/photos/thumbs/
  • microbusiness/photos/tmp
• Before any new installation is good to backup your database before, even if nobody is doing it (including me). At lease turn your site off
• Check at your AdminCP->vBulletin Options->Plugin/Hook System that Plugin system is enabled.
• From your AdminCP->Plugin System->Manage Products choose Add/Import Product and import the product: product-microbusiness.xml

3.- Configuration










As every vBulletin product, you need to make some initial configurations before it goes live.

• MicroSUPPORT Options
• Google Map API key. If you plan to use Google maps you must obtain a free api key.
• Setup categories and feature list (if you plan to use it).
• Setup usergroup permissions.

4.- Template Modification


The module is using it's own templates, so it doesn't needs any template modification except if you want to add a link to the navbar. In this case you need to modify the NavBar template.
