Hi Joseph:

Please go to https://app.box.com/s/234c83392ce5d00a1e21 and download the folder. Ensure you have the latest version of TVP Basic and Advanced installed. TVP Advance is 1.8.6 and, if I recall correctly, has TVP simple installed.

Simple is drag and drop and is used for non-comparative purposes (only a few files like IAP Config need this).

You'll notice as you parse that some files have more than one table. The main one is "Goals", which is split into objectives and goals (both of which are linked).

First, you should set up how you like it. Type of output etc.

To use TVP, you should simply compare two files. You can change the date backwards by using "verify dates".

Have a look at the PNG pics in the Help Triage and Difference between 13 and 14 August to get the hang of it.

The main files you'll be playing with are:
 * Prices
 * Buildings
 * Goals
 * Dinosaurs (every few weeks when they bring out yet another re-coloured dino)

And, to a lesser extent:
 * Bingo
 * Crates
 * Rewards
 * IAP Config (Single parser) - for the coin/crystal promos

I will also upload some other help files soon - including instructions for the dino fusion template.

The main templates you will be editing are:


 * Template:TableDA


 * Template:TableDACell


 * Template:TableDinos


 * Template:TableHabitats


 * Template:TableRecipe - you shouldn't need to change this often


 * Template:DatabaseRecipe - very rarely


 * Template:TableEconomyStore - very rarely


 * Template:TableHabitatBiome - very rarely

You now also have access at the bottom of each page to the Admin button. This takes you into a screen where you can:
 * Upload photos 20 at a time
 * Change the "top navigation" to add / subtract themes, promotions etc.
 * Other fancy stuff that I've never used

You also have the ability to block serial pests. This is at your discretion and is easy to do from the user's "contributions" page. Unless someone is really offensive, my advice is to use the block lightly - perhaps for a couple of weeks or a month at first and if they come back with more mischief, go harder.

I'll upload some stuff now and get back to you with a link.

All the best

Helena
