Version 1.0.3
The installation of the EZ NewsLetter for vBulletin is very easy. It shouldn't take more then a few minutes.
BACKUP YOUR DATABASE!!!
############### NEW INSTALL ###############
Download the release zip file and unzip it on your computer.
Next, upload all the files in the upload folder.
NOTE: If your admincp folder has been renamed, you need to
rename the folder admincp in the upload folder to match your
folder name.
Next you will go to the vBulletin admin control panel and under plugins
and products click manage products. At the bottom of that page click
add/import product. On the next page at the top click browse and locate
the file product-eznewsletter.xml which you unzipped from the download
package. When you click ok after selecting the file and get back to the
acp, check yes for Allow Overwrite and then click Import.
The next step is one template edit. In the acp under the style manager
and for each style you have installed and use, edit template
Registration Templates -> register.
Locate:
<if condition="$show['email']">
