Installation Instructions
- Install the add-on zip file (this is an add-on package without extra files)
- Navigate to Admin > Setup > Options > Searchable custom page options and confirm the settings are correct, then save. The forum database user must have SELECT access to the source database.
- Navigate to Admin > Tools > Cron Entries and run 'Searchable Custom Pages: Pull' once. This adds pages to the search index for the first time; it will also run automatically at midnight.
