UI.X

Updating UI.X

Updating to new versions of UI.X is made easier than even through the UI.X add-on. Your forum will check for updates to UI.X and if an update is available, you can install it in one click.

To allow for one touch updating and check for updates to UI.X, an API Callback to our servers is made. This callback does not gather any information about your site. That said, if you do not wish to use one click updates and prefer to continue manually updating, you are free to not enter an API key and there will be no callback made to check for updates.

1. Download the add-on from your orders page at themehouse.com
2. Extract the .zip file to a familiar place such as your desktop then upload the contents of /upload/ to your XenForo root directory
3. After the files have uploaded, go to your XenForo Admin Control Panel. On the right side you will see a list of all add-ons, and at the bottom there is an install add-on button. Click that. Then browse to the uix-addon.xml file that you downloaded from audentio.com
4. After that has installed, you will need to generate an API key from audentio.com - https://www.audentio.com/customer/api-key
5. Back in your XenForo ACP, go to Options > [UI.X] General, and paste the API key in under Audentio API Key
6. When that is done, you can now go to UI.X tab at the top of the ACP > Styles > Find UI.X in the list and install it right there. This will automatically create a child theme for you as well. Make sure to make all edits to the child theme.
7. If you do not want to install via the styles tab using a callback, the theme files will be available to download in the orders page changelog table
8. To install the theme that way, you must also upload the contents of /upload/ to your root XenForo directory
9. When that is done go to Appearance > Styles > Import a style > Browse for the .xml file you downloaded (the style not the add-on) and import. Make sure when that is done to create a child theme to this style and make all changes to that. Never edit UI.X or any official product directly as upgrading becomes nearly impossible.
