Vehicle Manager Documentation

This article explains how to install Vehicle Manager for Joomla 1.6&1.7.

Step 1. Login to your Joomla Admin area > Extensions > Install/Uninstall.

Step 2. In Extension Manager:

• In the Upload Package File section click Browse, select the Vehicle Manager component file (example: com_vehiclemanager.zip) that you want to install;

• Click Upload File & Install to upload the file and complete the installation

Step 3. When you click the Upload button, the Joomla component will hopefully upload successfully

Vehicle manager About

First, check out the Components > Vehicle manager > About page, and read the Notes.

Step 5. To allow access to Vehicle manager, a menu item must be created. In Joomla Admin area select Menus > Main Menu > New (button in right corner)

Remark about the language of the menu entries:

The language of the top menu entries are the only part of the installation which is not handled by the Vehicle Manager language files. These entries are controlled through the vehiclemanager.xml file at installation time only. The menu entries in the horizontal top bar will follow the Vehicle Manager language file entries, but the top menu entries will not. So, if you also want the top menu entries to be the same as your own backend language (presuming it is not set to English), then you need to adjust the vehiclemanager.xml file BEFORE you install!

Installation it is located in the directory /components/com_vehiclemanager/language/
