Installation is a two-step process: Install and test Wimpy to ensure that wimpy works properly on your server, then install the module through the Mambo installation interface.

Download and install the Wimpy demo package:

Click here to download Wimpy
- Click here for instructions.

IMPORTANT NOTE:
Install in your Mambo Directory.
Example:
www.yoursite.com/MAMBO/mp3s

Download and Install Module:

Click here to download the Wimpy Mambo MP3 Player Module.

1. Upload "mod_wimpy.zip" from the Mambo Admin as a "Module" on your server. If you do not know how to install the module do some more reasearch first on this.

2. Now go to the Modules section and publish the Module, it should be labeled "Wimpy" or "Mod_Wimpy".

If you called the wimpy custom file "myWimpy.html" and created the "mp3s" directory within the root of your mambo directory you will not need to go any further than publishing the module.

Trouble shooting:

If wimpy is NOT working properly through Mambo, changes are that Mambo can not fine myWimpy.html. You may have to edit the module so that Mambo can locate myWimpy.html.

To edit the default installation location for myWimpy.html:

Open up your FTP program and connect to your site and go to the following directory:

http://www.YOURSITE.com/MAMBO/modules/

Download mod_wimpy.php file, open in a text editor and edit the following line:

From:
$wimpyHTML = "/mp3s/myWimpy.html";

To:
$wimpyHTML = "/MAMBO/mp3s/myWimpy.html";

... so that the path to myWimpy.html matches the proper location to the myWimpy.html file on your server.

When your finished, upload mod_wimpy.php to the "modules" folder again.

NOTE: Once Wimpy is installed on your server, you can upgrade to the non-demo version by simply over-writing the wimpy. In other words, you will only have to re-upload the wimpy package files, you will not have to re-install the Module.
