Thanks for downloading. A couple fairly simple steps to follow to get this bad-boy
installed. If you have trouble or questions there is the <a href="http://matterdaddy.com/phpBB3"><strong>Support
Forum</strong></a>
<h3>Steps:</h3>
<ol>
<li> <strong>Create database tables</strong>: <strong class="fileName"><a href="sql.txt">sql.txt</a></strong><br>
Insert the SQL code below file to create the tables in your database. If you
are unfamiliar with this, install <a href="http://www.phpmyadmin.net/home_page/index.php" target="_blank">phpMyAdmin</a>
as a start. Essentially, you select your database, click on the SQL tab and
paste the code in the big textarea and press 'Go'.<em><br>
</em>
<form name="form1" method="post" action="">
<p>Copy / Paste this SQL code to create your tables. You can also get the
contents from the included <a href="sql.txt">sql.txt</a>. </p>
<p>You should now have a two tables: <em><strong>md_categories</strong></em>
and <em><strong>md_postings</strong></em>
</form>
</li>
<li><strong>Enter database connection information: <span class="fileName">inc_dbcon.php</span><br>
</strong>Update inc_dbcon.php with the respective information to connect to
your database. Example, update the bolded information below.<br>
<br>
$dbhostname = "<strong>myDomain.com</strong>";<br>
$dbname = "<strong>myDataBaseName</strong>";<br>
$dbusername = "<strong>myDataBaseUsername</strong>";<br>
$dbpassword = "<strong>myDataBasePassword</strong>";<br>
</li>
<li><strong>Change the fields in : <span class="fileName">admin/config.php</span></strong><br>
There are several variables that you will need to update to get it to work
on you server:<br>
<br>
$emailAdmin = "<strong>hide@address.com</strong>"; <br>
Change the email address to be yours or the administrators
email address. When emails from the marketplace are sent out, this is who
they will be from. <br>
$urlPath = "<strong>http://www.yourdomain.com/marketplace</strong>";<br>
When links in the email are sent out to activate a
listing (confirm a listing), this address will be used along with a custom
URL so that people can click on the link and activate a posting<br>
$languageFile = "<strong>language/lang_english.php</strong>";<br>
This is the language file that the site uses. <br>
<br>
If you translate it to any other languages, send me the language file so that
others can benefit, caryevans2000[at]yahoo.com<br>
</li>
</ol>
<p> </p>
<p>That's it! You should be ready to roll!<br>
