Hate to be a pest here, but SOMEONE please respond to my last query. I REALLY REALLY need the help as I have gotten absolutely nowhere and cannot proceed any further without an editing tool and plug-ins for my site. Thanks.

I just tried to install a new module (XOOPS2_mod_content-0.5.zip) without renaming it and I'm still receiving the same error. When I clicked on the file which is located in public_html/modules/(Current Folder) to extract the contents, this is what pops up:

Archive: XOOPS2_mod_content-0.5.zip
replace html/modules/content/admin/fckeditor/editor/skins/default/toolbar/button.about.gif? [y]es, [n]o, [A]ll, [N]one, [r]ename: NULL
(assuming [N]one)

Am I supposed to go in and change permissions on this file or something? I wanted to go into "Read Me" to see what if anything I should do for this particular module, but "Read Me" is not even listed b/c the file is still in a "zip" state for some reason in my folder (even though I thought I extracted everything). Also when I upload any files on my server, there is a button I can check that says, "overwrite existing files." Should I do that? Or should I just create a new folder located inside modules? I just can't understand why the reason for me not being able to install these is b/c "file already exists." Thanks for the help and I'm sure there is probably something really elementary that I'm just missing b/c I barely know what I'm doing!!!

Thank you for the response. The xoops_version.php file is located there, but when I clicked "show contents of file", the following text caught my attention:

f( ! defined( 'XOOPS_ROOT_PATH' ) ) exit ;

$mydirname = basename( dirname( __FILE__ ) ) ;
if( preg_match( '/^myalbum(\d*)$/' , $mydirname , $regs ) ) {
$myalbum_number = $regs[1] ;
} else {
echo "invalid dirname of myalbum: " . htmlspecialchars( $mydirname ) ;
}
$_SESSION['myalbum_mydirname'] = $mydirname ;

After downloading each of the modules, I have saved them in zip files on my desktop, renamed them (so I would know what they were-- i.e. "image gallery") and then uploaded them from my desktop into my public html files on my server.

Should I NOT rename them?? Do you think that is the problem? Thanks.

A full description of the issue: Neither of these modules will load. I get an error when going through modules in XOOPS system admin that says "Module File for Not Found!" and when I click on "install," I get a message that says, "Unable to install . Error(s): Module already exists."

I am very much a novice and this is all a hit and miss experimental process for me!! Am I forgetting to override something? Am I supposed to rename the files on my server or something? I have been uploading them to my "public html" folder and extracting the file contents in "modules."

Thank you so much for the advice and I will try this later. :)

I'm a big time novice that downloaded XOOPS from my web host. Since downloading, I have visited my domain and logged in as the administrator to create my site. I downloaded a theme to my desktop b/c I want to customize the look of my site with this theme.

How do I upload the theme to the default XOOPS template I am using? I see options to upload a template, but not a theme. Please help. Thanks.
