UPDATE 2/15/24- NO LONGER SUPPORTED BY ME. If anyone wants to take it over that's fine, go ahead and fork it. I don't have the time or energy to support this. I thought I would but I do not.
This is the main repo for Listing Admin 1.1 for PHP8.
The original author is Tess (website is not online anymore). Tess' ReadMe can be found here.
The previous author is Ekaterina. Ekaterina's ReadMe can be found here.
Note: Ekaterina's version is not recommended for new installations. Mine can be used for new installations.
These are the instructions you will want to follow when you are installing LA for the first time.
To download an archive, you can do that 1 of 2 ways. You will want to download these to your desktop or somewhere you can easily find them.
This will download a zip. You can see below what I am referring to. You can see the green "code" button above. Click that and click on "download zip".
The second way you can download an archive is by clicking on releases on the right sidebar...
Then viewing the "Assets" and downloading the file that says la-x.x.x.zip
You will want to unzip the archive and upload everything inside the public folder to your folder.
Find the jac.sample.inc.php file that you downloaded and open it up in your editor. Can be NotePad though I recommend NotePad++, Visual Studio Code, or Sublime. Either way, just open it so you can see the lines of code.
Find these lines:
$database_host = 'localhost';
$database_user = 'username';
$database_pass = 'password';
$database_name = 'databaseName';Update those details to your details that you found in Step 1. Then save and close the file.
In your file explorer, rename the file from jac.sample.inc.php to jac.inc.php (make sure there is only one .php at the end) and upload to every fanlisting + your fanlisting collective.
Finally, in your admin/ directory do the same thing that you just did with the jac.sample.inc.php file except you are looking for the rats.sample.inc.php file. You will be updating the database details (they look the same in this file as well) and renaming the file to rats.inc.php.
This should 100% work on the first try. If it doesn't, make sure you read these steps carefully. If it doesn't and you have re-read these instructions, open an issue (at the top) and let me know what you have tried.
Note: I am not providing support for versions lower than 1.0.5.
If you are using Listing admin 2.4 (the old version by Tess) please follow her readme, though I highly recommend against that.
Backup all of your current Listing Admin configurations, files, and databases first. ALWAYS do this before doing any install or upgrade.
Also, take note of your database information (I refer to as variables) in all of your config.php files.

Replace the files inside your admin/ directory (folder) with the public/admin/ files from this repository. Make sure that you have all files from the folder uploaded.

They are folders that were added by either Tess or Ekaterina for previewing how your fanlisting and collective might look. They are there for convenience. You can delete these or keep them to reuse for future fanlistings.
As they come up I will add more FAQ here. :)
