** BASIC INSTALLATION **
************************

1. Upload the files in the archive to your host.

2. Change permissions on the following file and four folders to 777 (writing permissions):
      - include/config.php
      - temp/
      - temp/adodb
      - temp/cache
      - temp/templates

   If the folders do not exist please create them.

3. Access the installer/updater by trying to go to the directory.
   It should forward you to http://www.your-domain.com/install/ ,
   if it doesn't try typing in the URL directly.

   For example, if you installed the directory in a sub folder
   of your domain it may look like this:
      http://www.your-domain.com/directory/install/

4. Run through the self explained setup, if you have any questions,
   comments or suggestions stop by the forum:
      http://www.phplinkdirectory.com/forum/

5. As a security measure, we recommend you change back permissions
   to 755 on the file:
      - include/config.php

   You can also remove the entire "install" folder.
   If you want to (re)install/update on a later point, you can upload
   the folder again.


***********************************
** UPDATE FROM ANY PRIOR VERSION **
***********************************

1. Replace all files and folders

2. Make sure if you have other PHP files with validation checks to change them accordingly.
   In any previous version you will have something like:

   ------------------------------
   SmartyValidate :: register_validator('v_FIELD', 'FIELD', 'notEmpty', false, false, false, 'trim', 'formID');
   ------------------------------

   Because of changes to the SmartyValidate library, you need to remove the 7-th attribute and use always something like:

   ------------------------------
   SmartyValidate :: register_validator('v_FIELD', 'FIELD', 'notEmpty', false, false, 'trim', 'formID');
   ------------------------------

3. Check your templates for correct validation tags and fields. Validation tags are:

   ------------------------------
   {validate form="formID" id="v_FIELD" message=$smarty.capture.ERROR-MESSAGE}
   ------------------------------
