Installation
The installation process for GoMobile is very similar to that of any other MyBB plugin. This document will cover this process in more depth, including screenshots to aid in comprehension. There are three main steps to installing GoMobile:
- Upload all files in the GoMobile upload package, available here (or alternatively, from here, github).
- Install & Activate GoMobile from your MyBB Admin Control Panel plugins page.
- Configure GoMobile settings and options through the Settings & Configuration area of the ACP.
You will need the following in order to successfully and properly install GoMobile:
- Access to the forum's webserver, to upload files.
- Access to the MyBB Admin Control Panel, to install and configure GoMobile.
- MyBB 1.6.7 (for version 1.0.0)
Additionally, it is recommended you do not install GoMobile unless you are comfortable with installing other plugins. Although GoMobile is relatively simple to install, users who are new to the software should ask their questions in the Installation Support forum. If you meet the requirements listed above and are confident in your ability to perform this installation, please proceed.
The first step is uploading the necessary files to your webserver. This can be done several ways, depending on your Operating System, technical knowledge and experience. This documentation won't go into much detail regarding this - it's assumed that you are already able to do this.
Once connected to your host, download a copy of GoMobile from here and open it with an archive viewer (such as WinRAR, if using Windows). Proceed to open the Upload folder and upload it's contents to the root of your forum installation. GoMobile is packaged in a way that it will automatically place the files in the correct location. If you are having trouble with this step, please request support in the Installation Support forum.
After you have successfully uploaded the files for GoMobile, proceed to log into your Admin Control Panel. Once inside, navigate your way to the plugins section. At this stage, it's quite simple - click the Install & Activate link for GoMobile and voila, it will automatically import the theme, insert settings and install various other components of GoMobile. A message should be displayed about a successful plugin activation.
As mentioned above, GoMobile will install it's theme portion automatically. Thus, it is not necessary to import the theme manually - though you may choose to. If so, the XML file is located in inc/plugins.
For detailed information on configuring GoMobile, please read through the Configuration article.
