23 
+There are notes in the docs/ folder about the changes to skins in this version.
24 
+However, there is no tutorial as of yet.
25 
+
26 
+It's also strongly suggested that you NOT put the site into maintenance mode or
27 
+start modifying the script (even by adding modules or blocks) until you've
28 
+actually confirmed that the install was successful.
29 
+
30 
+
31 
+Upgrading from v.1.1:
32 
+
33 
+BACK UP YOUR FILES AND YOUR DATABASE FIRST!!  Upload the 3.0 files OVER your 1.1
34 
+files.  DO NOT DELETE YOUR 1.1 FILES UNTIL THE UPGRADE IS COMPLETE!  Go to your site.
35 
+The script will detect that the config.php file is for 1.1 and start the upgrade.
36 
+
37 
+Note: You're encouraged to choose one of the skins provided with the 3.0
38 
+script until you can update your 1.1 skins.  There are numerous changes in the
39 
+skins from 1.1 to 3.0.
40 
+
41 
+Note 2: Make sure your config.php file is CHMOD'd to 666.
42 
+
43 
+Upgrading from v.2.0.X:
44 
+
45 
+BACK UP YOUR FILES AND YOUR DATABASE FIRST!!  Upload the 3.0 files OVER your 2.0
46 
+files.  DO NOT DELETE YOUR 2.0 FILES UNTIL THE UPGRADE IS COMPLETE!  Go to your site.
47 
+The script will detect that the config.php file is for 2.0 and start the upgrade.
48 
+
49 
+Note: You're encouraged to choose one of the skins provided with the 3.0
50 
+script until you can update your 2.0 skins.
51 
+
52 
+Note 2: Make sure your config.php file is CHMOD'd to 666.
53 
+
54 
+Note 3: If you have installed blocks that did not come with the 2.0 package,
55 
+turn them off before starting the upgrade.  They will most likely be
56 
+incompatible!
57 
+
58 
+Minor Upgrade from v.3.X to v.3.Y:
59 
+
60 
+BACK UP YOUR FILES AND YOUR DATABASE FIRST!!  Upload the 3.Y files OVER your 3.X
61 
+files making sure you do not over-write your config.php file.  Generally, the images,
62 
+tinymce, and skins folders will contain no updates and do not need to be replaced.
63 
+Go to your eFiction site.  The script should detect the updated files and ask you
64 
+to update.  If it doesn't go to http://www.yoursite.com/update.php.
65 
+
66 
+NOTE: If you have your site bridged, remember to put the bridge back in place
67 
+before running the update.
68 
+
69 
+Brand New Install:
70 
+
71 
+If you know basic web stuff like CHMODing, look below at step #1. If you have
72 
+no clue what you're doing, just go to http://www.yoursite.com/ after uploading
73 
+all the files to your server.
74 
+
75 
+1) If you intend to write the story texts to the server or allow image uploads, you
76 
+must create a folder where these files will be stored. CHMOD this folder to 777.
77 
+During installation, the script will ask you for the location of this folder.
78 
+If this folder is missing the script will attempt to create it for you during the
79 
+install, but it is best if you create the folder yourself before beginning the
80 
+installation script.
81 
+
82 
+2) Move config.php from the docs folder to the main eFiction folder.  This file was
83 
+placed in the docs folder to help prevent accidental overwriting of config.php
84 
+for upgrades. If the config.php is missing the install script will attempt to
85 
+create it, but it's best if you move it.
86 
+
87 
+3) CHMOD config.php to 666.
88 
+
89 
+4) Go to http://www.yoursite.com/ to run the install and set up the admin login.
90 
+
91 
+5) Login with the admin login and password set in step #4, and complete the
92 
+configuration of your site through the Admin panel.
93 
+
94 
+Other info:
95 
+
96 
+1) As written, the script is intended to be used in the following way:
97 
+
98 
+- Categories: you can have only one category, or as many as you want, including
99 
+sub-categories.  Categories were written with the intention that they would
100 
+indicate different fandoms or categories of story.
101 
+- Characters: Intended to mean the characters that fall within that fandom or
102 
+category.
103 
+- Classifications: Beyond categories and characters you can set up your own
104 
+classifications such as genres, warnings, spoilers, story type, couple, etc.
105 
+- Series: Series are collections of related stories by the same or multiple
106 
+authors.  A story and its sequels, for example, would be a series.  Series
107 
+might also be used for a "shared universe" in which multiple authors write.
108 
+The person who creates the series is considered the series "owner" and
109 
+controls whether or not the series is "open" to contributions by other
110 
+authors or not.  Even if the series is "closed", the series owner has the
111 
+option to include stories from other authors in the series.
112 
+- Challenges: Challenges are ideas/wishes for stories that a member or an
113 
+anonymous visitor "challenges" authors to write.  Stories written in response
114 
+to the challenge can be listed under the challenge by the story author or an admin.
115 
+Note: in 3.0 challenges have been made into an optional module.  To install
116 
+challenges goto http://www.yoursite.com/modules/challenges/install.php.
117 
+
118 
+Check out the Admin area for more information on all of these settings and more.
119 
+
120 
+2) You can modify most of the text that is displayed in the script by changing the
121 
+language file in the languages/ folder for the language you selected. Just change
122 
+the text within the quotes for each line to whatever you want it to say.  Some
123 
+wording is included within the skin's files.  If you have created a translation for
124 
+eFiction, we encourage you to share it!
