8.- Installation

• Upload the entire /vbphotovote directory to your webserver UNDER the folder where
  your vBulletin is installed. eg if your vb installation is located at:
  http://www.yourdomain.com/forums then the /vbphotovote directory must be under this (/forums).
• Upload vbphotovote.php at your forum directory (!!NOT!! in vbphotovote directory).
• Upload the file /admicp/vbphotovote_admin.php to your /admincp directory
• Upload the files in /includes/xml/*.* to your /includes/xml/
• CMOD the following directoris to 777
  /photos (inside vbphotovote directory)
  /tmp (inside vbphotovote directory)
  /thumbs (inside vbphotovote/photos directory)
• For security reasons backup your database AND turn your board off
• Check at your AdminCP->vBulletin Options->Plugin/Hook System that Plugin system
  is enabled.

Feel free to do anything with the code, eg by reusing the functions to develope other vBulletin modules, with only 2 major exceptions:
