0) Consult the version_history.txt to learn about module version changes/updates. To install this module, follow these instructions. If you encounter any problems during install, visit the [url=http://www.mx-system.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=20] module support forum[/url].

1) Override your old files, i.e. unzip the distributed files into your portal modules directory, /modules, and upload.

2) Remove old module installation from MX.
In the AdminCP, browse to 'Module Management' and 'delete' any old module version.

Note: This will only remove the module from the MX system kernel. Module data itself (like actual downloads, weblinks, photos etc) will not be touch or deleted.

3) Import new module to MX
In the AdminCP, browse to 'Module Management' and 'import' Module Pack for this module. Some warnings may be reported but this is generally nothing to worry about...but a symptom when upgrading.

4) Now the module is installed, but to use it you need to add the module Block to a Portal Page. In the AdminCP, browse to 'Page Administration' and 'Add Block' to any portal page. Done!
