1. Download ArrowChat from http://www.arrowchat.com/members/index.php?do=purchases
2. Extract files
3. Delete the arrowchat/config.php file and install folder. You can also delete the "themes", "language", and "applications" folders if you have custom edits.
4. Copy and overwrite all files onto your server.
5. Run the Upgrade Folder. ex: http://www.yourdomain.com/arrowchat/upgrade/
6. Update your themes to take full advantage of the updates.

Temporary solution to cache problems:
Update your ArrowChat footer template to include a "&v=1.0.6" at the end of the src attribute. The type=djs does NOT need this.
- Code: Select all
<script type="text/javascript" src="/arrowchat/external.php?type=js&v=1.0.6" charset="utf-8"></script>
SocialEngine 4.1.5+, SkaDate, and Elgg Users
Rename the includes/functions_receive_{Your integration}.php file to functions_receive.php. Overwrite changes.
JCow 5 Users
Please delete all ArrowChat files and reinstall ONLY IF your JCow is not currently working.
