Adding a submodule to an existing project

alleyhector

Several of us work on one Fuel project (in this case an upgrade from 0.9.3 to 1.3, not sure if that's relevant) and so I did not install a submodule myself but a coworker did. Now I get this error:

A PHP Error was encountered
Severity: Notice
Message: Use of undefined constant USER_GUIDE_PATH - assumed 'USER_GUIDE_PATH'
Filename: config/user_guide.php
Line Number: 25

I assume this means I have to also install the User Guide sub module myself. What is the best way to do so? Is it the same process as if I were installing a new one on my own?

Nevermind this was a super easy fix. Literally all I had to do was run:

git submodule init git submodule update

I was going to delete the thread but just figured it was worth leaving just in case someone else needed it and could find in search.
