Hi there

Because we want to add some mods to the wwf and I don't want to mess up my installation, I developed an "as easy as possible" installation for new mods (in fact this looks as easy as possible to me *g*).

Before we start: Sorry if my english isn't the best - if you don't understand something just ask me, I'll try to explain it to you =)

So what are the basics of my way to add new mods?

There is no need to paste 1000 of lines into the basic forum
Every mod is in a new file, visual mods have they're own css files
To basically add the mod-system there are only two files to be editet, after this there are (normally) just 1-2 lines to copy&paste into the original-file.

Installation of the BASIC-Mod-System (this MOD-System has NO mods included, it's just the basic system to add new mods).

Create a folder "mods" in the forum root path
Create a file called "MXM_mods.asp" in this folder. Be sure that this is an empty file - no html, no asp - nothing
Create a file called "MXM_mods.css" in this folder. Same here: No content!
Edit the file "common.asp" in the forum root path. On the first line add the following code:
Edit the file "/includes/header.asp". On the first line add the following code:

<link href="mods/MXM_mods.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
That's it... you've implemented the basic mod-system. You can now start to add mods easy by editing the two files "MXM_mods.asp" and "MXM_mods.css".

This mods were developed for V9.05. For future versions I'll post updates if needed.

I hope this is useful for some of you out there - if not, just ignore this post =)
