Introduction MyNetwork Core, by itself, doesn't do very much. It adds the base for which MyNetwork features plug in to and provides a set of core functions which can be shared across the features. Therefore, it must be installed before adding any MyNetwork feature. The idea behind MyNetwork is simple; provide extensive plugins that remain unobtrusive. This means templates, language files, images and JavaScript are stored separately from your other plugins allowing you to quickly manage and configure your features - all while integrating perfectly with MyBB. Each feature can be systematically removed from your forum - or even from your server altogether. Installing MyNetwork Core To install MyNetwork Core, upload all the files included in your download to your forum. Once completed, visit the Plugins section in your Admin Control Panel (ACP) and install and activate the MyNetwork Core plugin. Once installed, MyNetwork Core introduces 3 new database tables (myn_datacache, myn_templatesets and myn_templates). It also adds 1 template group and 1 setting. MyNetwork Core also adds its own section within the ACP. From the Quick Links menu on the ACP home page, select MyNetwork Overview to visit this section. The Overview provides a list of modules you have installed - and within these modules the features that you have added. There is also a Settings tab which lists any settings that have been added by features. Using MyNetwork Core MyNetwork Core doesn't just replicate MyBB systems for its own purpose, it extends them further - namely, the Templates system. The plugin adds a MyNetwork Template Set which holds all of the customised templates for features. Although you can't remove this Template Set without uninstalling the plugin, you can definitely add to it for your own needs. You can create your own template groups, make customised templates default (so you don't lose your changes) and remove any template that is added (even if it is a 'default' template). To use templates that have been added to this Template Set, simply create a new MyNetwork class and use $templates->myn_get('template_name') - just like calling any other MyBB template. MyNetwork Core also provides an easy to use language editing section so that you can modify any language string a feature uses. Go to your ACP and then head to the Configuration tab. In the menu, select Languages and then select which language pack you're wanting to edit. In the language pack, there is a new tab here titled MyNetwork Language. This section lists all of the language files and strings that are used by features. By default, MyNetwork Core comes with an English language pack. If you use other languages on your forum, you will need to duplicate these yourself when you add features. Checking for Updates It's important that you keep any plugin you've installed up to date. To make it easy to see if there is an update for a feature you've added, visit the MyNetwork Overview and select Check for Updates in the menu. In this section, press the Check for Updates button and the features you have installed will be cross referenced against the Xekko server and any updates that are available will be listed. Support and Known Issues There are currently no known issues with MyNetwork Core. If you require support with this module, please use the MyNetwork General Support forum. |
