Installing Makes and Models PDF Print E-mail

How do we install makes and models?

We have written a CSV installer, and this one will install the CSV you can download from the download section if you have a subscription for it.
Make sure your database tables are empty before using the installer, other wise your makes will get the wrong id's. If you're busy with a new installation they're allready empty. You don't have to do the first steps.

Let go to your PHP MyAdmin first.
Delete the tables Makes and Models using this query:


DROP TABLE `jos_rdautos_makes`, `jos_rdautos_models`;


Your table are gone now, but needs to be installed again.


CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `#__rdautos_makes` (
  `makeid` int(20) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
  `makename` varchar(100) NOT NULL,
  `published` tinyint(1) NOT NULL,
  PRIMARY KEY (`makeid`)
) ENGINE=MyISAM  DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8 AUTO_INCREMENT=1 ;




CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `#__rdautos_models` (
  `modelid` int(20) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
  `makeid` int(20) NOT NULL,
  `model` varchar(50) NOT NULL,
  `published` tinyint(1) NOT NULL,
  PRIMARY KEY (`modelid`)
) ENGINE=MyISAM  DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8 AUTO_INCREMENT=1 ;


Make sure you replace #?? with the prefix of your tables.
After your tables are ready to go we have to run the models script.
