Installation instructions for the Sermons package 1. The package is dependent on the User Management package. Install and test the User Management package before proceeding. The User Management package is available here: http://www.lstones.com/Packages/Web/Users01.zip 2. If you have previously installed the Living Stones Bible software (http://www.lstones.com/BibleSoftware.php), then you will want to open the file ls_manage_sermons.php in a text editor (e.g. Notepad) and scroll down about 50 lines to where it says "IF YOU HAVE THE BIBLE SOFTWARE INSTALLED" and follow the instructions there. 3. The Sermons package includes a folder called ls_include which includes files and additional subfolders. One of these files is called PodcastFunctions.php. Open this file in a text editor (e.g. Notepad). Near the top of the file is a section marked "UPDATE THIS INFORMATION FOR YOUR CHURCH." Change the information inside the quotes on the next two lines (but make sure the quotes and ; remain) to match your church's name and your church's website. 4. Copy all of the files in the ls_include folder into the ls_include directory on your web server created for previous Living Stones installations. 5. The Sermons package also includes a number of individual files. Copy these to the location on your webserver that you have selected for Living Stones pages. This usually is the main directory for your website. 6. From your web browser run the ls_install_sermons.php For example, if your site was mychurch.org, you'd type into your web browser the location http://www.mychurch.org/ls_install_sermons.php 7. This install script will create the database files required for the Sermons package and will set up the Admin user with access to manage Sermons, Pastors, and to authorize other users to do the same. 8. Run the Pastor Management tool (ls_manage_pastors.php) from your web browser and add the pastors for whom you will be adding Sermons. 9. Run the Sermon Management tool (ls_manage_sermons.php) to add and manage sermons. Feel free to make changes to any of the .php files to change how your Living Stones pages look. Feel free to make other changes as well, but I'm only likely to be able to help you with the base installation. Contact me at russ.mcguire@seek-first.com. It might take a day or two for me to respond at times. Thank you for using Living Stones!
