[#7374] Install problems via Upload Package File Tab

Hi

On both my main CB install and now the CB Search Bot install I am unable to successfully upload the package from my hard drive. I get two messages. One says "Installation of the component was successful." but the other "Nothing to install." And, indeed, nothing appears to have been installed. I managed to install the main CB core from the web but I don't have that option with CB Search Bot, do I?

Are you able to help?


Thanks

Installs perfectly fine in my tests. Are any other extensions installing? Have you tried using install from web? Download latest CB from our downloads page below and directly install the downloaded zip file. Do not unpackage it.

Thanks

As I said both the main CB Builder file (pkg_communitybuilder_2.3.0+build.2018.11.14.17.11.06.182d2f2a2.zip) and the CBSearch Bot files (cbsearchbot_2.1.0+2018.09.05.zip) DO NOT install using the "Upload Package File" tab.

I have tried clearing the cache and rebooting my computer to no effect. I have installed other extensions in the meantime.

I did manage to successfully install Community Builder from the web but that option is not available for CBSearch Bot is it?. If it is, would you mind giving me the URL because I am getting errors such as:

"Error
Unable to find install package"

I have just downloaded the latest CB from your link and tried to install it but I get the same error. It did install via the Web tab. I do believe it is a problem of yours because plenty of other extensions install no problem (the file size limit is set to 24M by the way). My main desire, however, is to get a working version of CBSearch Bot. If you can give me a URL to upload that via, or publish it so that it can be installed from the web, I'd be extremely grateful.

Thanks

Unzip the downloaded package and install the zip file in the /extensions/packages folder. This will bypass the package installer. Beyond that I don't know what more to tell you. I'm unable to confirm any issues with the installation packages of which have no changed for a very long time and the installer behavior is unchanged in Joomla it self. It's possible your server is blocking the upload via some form of security.

Thank you

Could you give me a little more information, please? Are you referring to the /extensions/packages folder which I have just unzipped? And do you want me to move the file 007_cbsearch20180905.zip from the plugins folder to the packages folder? I am referring to CBSearch Bot here.

I am confused - having never done this before.

Thanks for your help

I extracted the file 007_cbsearch20180905.zip and used the "Upload Package File" tab to install it. All appeared to go well but there is no record of the plugin in Joomla.

Is this likely to have worked, and how do I now use the plugin, please?
