Downloaded extensions don't show up in components page

Huck Jones Posted in Technical Support 1 decade ago

Hmm, so I tried installing a few components to my OSSN site, namely Email Login and Fancybox by unzipping them to the /components folder, and yet they don't appear in the components page. Oh, and I'm using the latest stable OSSN version, in case you're wondering.

@Huck Jones, You can't install components like you install plugins for elgg, you have to install using component installer.

If you are on linux:
Make sure the ossn data directory and root files have rights and make sure they are owned by correct user, not by root user

Hmm, I think it may have something to do with folder permissions. As a workaround I unzipped the contents of a component package, and then upload the aforementioned zip on the Components control panel to enable it.

I tried that as well, but for some reason it didn't work.
