But i can't use the normal way

Admin/modules/ >>>> select a module and install

Why i can't use that way...
Because i had a serious problem

I using XOOPS 2.0.16 and PHP 5.

A few days I tried to install a new module and realized that they aren't displayed in the XOOPS admin area ( admin/modules/newmodule )


I sent five different modules and none of them are displayed.

So I come here to ask a way to install a XOOPS module without the administrative area.

Or know what the problem because these modules aren't displayed



Thanks and sorry for my poor English

Hi,

better find why the modules are not displayed. There are some common resons for that - 1. you may have a module that is not compatible with your version of XOOPS 2.you have a module that requires something extra to be installed 3.not very shure, but upload with wrong path may cause this too.

In all cases all modules after the problem one will not show. To find the problem module you may try to enable phpdebug mode (try both styles - inline and popup) and look for errors. Ot you can remove all not installed modules and upload them one by one. If the module des not show there is the problem.

You can install modules by typing in your browser addres bar:

but better find where the problem is.

Which was the first module that you uploaded which did this?

Does the display return to normal when you delete it from the server?

stefan88 - Thanks for the tip helps a lot

With debug i find two modules with problem (useronline and smartpartner)
Remove both of ( uninstall and deleted the folder)
But the problem remains!!

JAVesey...
This site already has some time and some modules weren't installed in the beginning,but were usually displayed in the adm area.
Now i can't see this old modules and not the new sent

So weird

This way I cann't install anything .. I couldn't because with the tip of the stefan88 helps a lot

Thank you Stefan88, I had the same problem and could solve it using the direct URL to install.

I don't know why it happens. Some modules are visible (and installable) since you copy it into the modules folder, and some others not.
I'm using XOOPS 2.0.18 (spanish).

Afortunately, your solution works.
