Hi i downloaded a directory script for my free host and it’s a phpld file how do i add it to my site ?

#2

Hi,

What is a phpld file?

Usually with the script upload files in public_html folder or any folder within public_html enough to run the script.
It is also good looking in the file install.txt or similar which explains the characteristics and requirements of the script (some scripts require a database).

** 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}

Thank you for choosing PHP Link Directory!

Kind Regards,
the PHP Link Directory Team!

Step 1 suggests to upload the files IN the archive which means you need to extract it locally on your computer first, then upload the files. Looking at the last message of yours it seems like you tried to import the archive into phpMyAdmin?

#9

yes i used phpmyadmin

#10

That’s kinda wrong.

  1. Extract the archive you downloaded on your computer
  2. Upload the files from the archive to your public_html directory (use a FTP client for that)
  3. Change the permissions of the files shown in the installation.txt (use a FTP client for that)
  4. Go to yoursite.com/install and run the installer (replace yoursite.com with your domain name)
