Install/Uninstall instruction for the Geeklog autotags plugin. These instructions assume you have installed a plugin before.

INSTALL:

Step 1:  Back up your Geeklog Database.  The autotags plugin adds tables to your Geeklog database.  You can do this with the built in admin backup facility.

Step 2:  Uncompress the autotags plugin archive from the path.to.geeklog/plugins directory.  The archive will create a directory called autotags in the plugins directory.

Step 3:  Create the public_html and admin directories.  Under your html directory (usually public_html) create a directory called "autotags".  Under your admin/plugins/ directory create a directory called "autotags".

Step 4:  From the path.to.geeklog/plugins/autotags/ directory, copy the files in the admin directory to the admin/plugins/autotags/ directory your created in step 3.  Likewise, copy the files and directories in the public_html directory to the public_html/autotags/ directory your created in step 3.

Step 5:  Edit the config.php in the autotags directory and confirm your settings.  A fresh install is heavily restricted, only allowing administrative access.  From here you can loosen up the restrictions if you wish.

Step 6:  Log in to your Geeklog as a root user and run install.php in your admin/plugins/autotags/ directory.  There should be a link to this on the admin/plugins page.  The install page will tell you if the install was successful or not.  If not examine Geeklog's log/error.log for possible problems.

The autotags plugin should now be installed and functioning.  Clicking on the autotags Icon will take you to the admin page.  

Step 7:  None of the provided autotags are enabled by the installer. They are provided as examples of things you can do with autotags.

UNINSTALL:

Step 1:  From the admin/plugins page, edit the autotags plugin and use the delete function.

Step 2:  Delete the three plugin directories created in the install process:  
<geeklog-dir>plugins/autotags/ 
<public_html>/autotags/
<admin>/plugins/autotags/

That's it.
