Invision Power Portal
---------------------------

Installation Snyopsis
.....................

Open up index_rename.php, edit the variables at the top save and upload to your root public_html / www folder.
If you're installing this in a different directory to your IPB, renamed 'index_rename.php' to 'index.php'. It's named as
such by default to ensure that you do not overwrite an existing file named the same.


INSTALLATION
------------

This guide assumes that you have installed IPB in /forums/ and wish for the portal to be the first page your visitors see.

Open up index.php and edit the path to where the forums directory is:

define( 'ROOT_PATH', "./forums/" );

This is set to "forums" by default. If you had your IPB installed at http://www.domain.com/chat/ you'd need to make sure you have:

define( 'ROOT_PATH', "./chat/" );

Save the file and upload it to your root web directory folder, often called "public_html" or "www".


SETTING UP
----------

Before you can use IPB Portal, you'll need to make sure you've switched it on from the ACP. If you don't do this, you may
receive PHP errors from index.php.

Simply log into your forums ACP and expand the "System Settings" sub-menu and click on "View all general settings" and then
find "IPB Portal".

That's it, you're all done!
