MPForm Documentation: Installation of the module (Version 0.4)

Level of difficulty: A 

Preconditions for the usage of MPForm

First time installation

  1. Download the latest version from hier. There is no need to unzip the file.
  2. Lgon as Administrator at the backend of Website Baker.
  3. Click at Add-ons in the main menu and than on Modules.
  4. With the button Search you choose the zip file you just downloaded.
  5. Click on Install.
  6. Under Module Details you now choose MPForm and click on View Details. When you now get some information to see, installation was successfull until this point.

Upgrade from an older version

If you make an upgrade, you already know how the installation works.

The upgrade will not change the following files:

This is because you might have customized those files. It is your task to compare the files from the upgrade package (which have the ending ".txt" attached to their names) and to decide whether to use the old or new versions or whether to merge both.

After the upgrade from a version less than 0.4.0 you should create a new form, compare its settings with those of already existing forms, and probably take them over. This is necessary because there are new as well as changed settings.

Install the Patch

You need to install the pach only if your version of WebsiteBaker is older than Revision 1371! Later versions (like WB 2.8.2) as well as all versions of Lepton must not get this patch! For this reason the patch is removed from the MPForm package version 1.0

Now you need to exchange some kernel files with improved versions:

  1. Connect to the web server by FTP.
  2. Copy the file
    modules/mpform/patch for v2.8.0/include/captcha/captcha.php to
    include/captcha/
  3. Copy the 5 files beneath
    modules/mpform/patch for v2.8.0/include/captcha/captchas/ to
    include/captcha/captchas/
  4. Delete the directory modules/mpform/patch for v2.8.0/

 If you already installed version 0.4.0 of MPForm, you do not need to reapply the patch. Just delete the directory (step 4 above).
