Installing Mods for SMF

Installing Mods to enhance SMF is fairly easy and will
allow you to expand your SMF forum's functionality to
no small degree.

SMF main site link

Go to SMF's site and select the customize link at the top
of the page. This page will let you select both Mods and
themes for SMF. Look though the Mods they have to find
the one(s) you are looking for*.

*A word of advice, only try one new Mod at a time to see
if any of them are going to conflict with each other. This
makes it easier to trace a problem.

Now the step by step...

1. Make a folder on you computer named SMF Mods. You
can save the Mod files to this folder to make it easier to
find them later.

2. Download the Mod(s) you want to the folder you made.

3. Log into your SMF forum and click the ADMIN tab/button.

4. Inside your admin panel click the Packages link. The page
this brings up will show you what Mods are currently available.

5. Click the Download Packages tab. This is where you will
upload your Mods. Look for the box marked: Upload a Package
Simply click the browse button to find the mod file on your
computer and then click Ok after you find the file. Next just
click the Upload button and sit back while it uploads.

6. after the file is uploaded it will give you the option to
apply the mod. Just click the Apply Mod link and follow
the on screen instructions.

An important note: Some Mods will require that you modify
your current theme before they will work properly. Most
Mods will work on the SMF Default theme automatically.


And that's it...
