Instructions to Install Matterdaddy Marketplace

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 Support Forum

Steps:

  1. Create database tables: sql.txt
    Insert the SQL code below file to create the tables in your database. If you are unfamiliar with this, install phpMyAdmin as a start. Essentially, you select your database, click on the SQL tab and paste the code in the big textarea and press 'Go'.

    Copy / Paste this SQL code to create your tables. You can also get the contents from the included sql.txt.

    You should now have a two tables: md_categories and md_postings

  2. Enter database connection information: inc_dbcon.php
    Update inc_dbcon.php with the respective information to connect to your database. Example, update the bolded information below.

    $dbhostname = "myDomain.com";
    $dbname = "myDataBaseName";
    $dbusername = "myDataBaseUsername";
    $dbpassword = "myDataBasePassword";
     
  3. Change the fields in : admin/config.php
    There are several variables that you will need to update to get it to work on you server:

    $emailAdmin = "admin@example.com";
        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.
    $urlPath = "http://www.yourdomain.com/marketplace";
        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
    $languageFile = "language/lang_english.php";
        This is the language file that the site uses.

    If you translate it to any other languages, send me the language file so that others can benefit, caryevans2000[at]yahoo.com

 

That's it! You should be ready to roll!
