installing a module

[cruizer]

Hi all,

I have a noobie question 

I want to install a module, a image gallery module. So, downloaded the module, installed the module succesfully but then....?

Found on serveral topis to reload? I'm using 2.52 version. Can't find it there on the settings (advanced) page.

Doesn't it have to come in the list with the other things like FORM, CODE,....

Plz help..... 

Thx

Hello,

The tool you are looking for only exists in 2.6.x version and is not available for 2.5.x Versions. Also the modules are optimized for WB 2.6.x versions.

So i recommand to update to 2.6.x. So if you can wait a few days the next version 2.6.5 will be released. If not PM me.

Hi,

Thx for your quick reply, but I don't want to update that website. There is all ready a lot of info on so....

I just want to make a page with an image gallery on it.

Is there a solution?

Thx

Hello,

don't want to update

Why, updating shouldn't break your page.

I just want to make a page with an image gallery on it.

So if the actually version didn't work, ask the communitiy, maybe someone has an older buggy version wich works wit 2.5.x

I just want to know, normally, when you install a module it automatically turns up in the list?

[ruebenwurzel]

yes

just also tried the swift gallery, doesn't turn up.

I have to do something wrong or is it that they ONLY work under 2.6.x now...

Would like to have something like this

Please tell us, how you upload the modules to your WB Installation ...

I go to the add module section, select the zip and click install.

If you look via FTP on your webspace, are the module directories in the modules folder visible?

Alternatively, upload the extraced files to a folder via FTP. Make shure the foldername is the same like in the file info(.)php. The use "reload addons" in the Admin section "Settings - Advanced options" to reload the modules.

@kweitzel

he uses 2.5.x, there exists no reload addons. The problem seems to be missing lines in the info.php or the fact that the installer in wb 2.5.x couldn't install folders within the modules.

@ruebenwurzel

You are the best 

Indeed the missing line in the info(.)php file did it al.

Just change $module_function = 'xxx'; to $module_type = 'xxx';

Thx all
