Installation
This product has additional files, is fully phrased and uses template hooks. No file changes or manual template edits needed. Two cron's are automatically added.
1. Upload all files from "upload_via_ftp" to your server, take care of the directory structure. If you have a subdirectory like /forums/ upload it to this folder.

Images must be uploaded in BINARY, PHP files in TEXT mode.

2. Import the main product "product_vbexperience385.xml"
3. Import a level product "vbexperience_level_1_?.xml" (see readme "Levels").
4. Tweak settings if required and manually recount the points via AdminCP/Experience/Recount


Upgrade Instructions
1. Copy ALL (I mean ALL - That is a common error!) files from upload_via_ftp/ to the server.
2. ReImport product_vbexperience385.xml, allow overwrite
3. If you modified any of the vBExperience templates, revert them
4. Check all Awards, correct their URL to the new path /xperience/icons/. If you don't have custom awards, use the "clear award"-command to clear and re-create them.
5. Run AdminCP/Experience/Recount


Additional languages
vBExperience is beeing published with english phrases. Additionally, you can find the following languages in the installation:
- German
- Turkish (thanks to AdemGEN)
- Italian (thanks to KURTZ)
- Arabic (thanks to HARRY)
- Spain (thanks to DwTeam)
- French (thanks to mitch84)
- Polish (thanks to RadioErewan)

Installation: AdminCP, Languages & Phrases, Download / Upload Languages - Name the XML, Overwrite existing Language (Don't be afraid, only custom phrases are imported), Set Ignore Language Version to Yes and Import.

If you defined your own language and you would mind to share - feel free to contact me. I'll include it in the next release.


Uninstall
- If you want to retain custom points or the shop and try a clean install you can just uninstall the product.
- To remove vBExperience completly, you will have to copy "\extras\Remove vBExperience\upload\admincp\kill_xperience.php" to AdminCP and execute it. After a confirmation dialog all vBExperience tables will be completly removed. Afterwards you will have to remove the product and all files via FTP.


Troubleshooting
If there are no bars visible at the postbit, you don't have a fully vBulletin 3.7/3.8 compatible postbit/postbit_legacy template. You will need at least $template_hook[postbit_userinfo_left] - make sure it's there. Take a look at the origin 3.7/3.8 template to see where it should be.
