Extensions won't enable

edited June 2006 in Vanilla 1.0 Help
Hello, I am fairly new to vanilla. I was trying to get the feed reader extension to work and it wouldn't. I can get it to show up on the extension mananger, however, whenever I hit 'enable extension' it merely refreshes the page. Now I cannot enable any other extensions either. I can disable extensions, but I cannot re-enable them. Anyone know what the problem could be? Thanks. jeremy www.cor13.com

    Have you given the /appg/extensions,php the appropriate read/write permission? ie: chmod 666 /appg/extensions.php That's the likely culprit of it not saving your requests. same should go for your language and settings file.

    Yep, They are all already set to 666. My extensions were working fine and then I tried to install the RSS Feed extension and they started malfunctioning. I am not sure if that is a coincidence or I possibly installed it wrong. Thanks for your help. -jeremy

    What version of the forum are you using? Which extension did you actually attempt to install (link, please)? Is your forum malfunctioning in any other way?

    i am using .9.2.6 I was trying to use feed reader v1.0 (http://nick_e.cjb.cc/misc/FeedReader.php.txt) No, this is the only thing that has happened. thanks, -jeremy

    Hmmm. That is an odd one. The fact that the extensions.php file isn't allowing you to change anything and isn't throwing any errors is really really wierd. You can always manually edit the appg/extensions.php file to link to whatever extensions you want turned on. I'd take a look at that file just to be sure that the permissions on it are still correct. I'd see what is actually in that file and maybe even cut out the feedreader extension from it (if it's there) and try to use the form again. That file should just contain a list of includes to various extensions. So, to disable one of them, you'd just cut that include out of the file and save it.

    Wow, that's a weird one... Did you change the url strings in the extension and upload MagpieRSS? Was that the only extension which caused such behaivor?
  • soulbloomsoulbloom
    OK, I went in and manually added FeedReader and it showed up as working. However, I did not have all the files uploaded for magpie, and it displayed "Feed Reader error: magpie not installed" in the side panel. So I fixed the magpie problem and now there is nothing in the side panel. SirNot, what strings are you referring to? I am not sure if the extension caused the behavior, but it started acting that way soon after I tried installing the extension. Thanks for the help. -jeremy

    The strings I'm referring to are the urls the extension is supposed to read from, you can find them at line 17 or so. I couldn't really be bothered creating a whole administration panel (partly because it was for 0.9.2, where each extension occupies just a file, not a folder), so you're going to have to get your hands a little dirty and configure it manually.

    Hello, I have the same problem in two sites using 0.9.2.6. I had to manually edit appg/extensions.php to enable the extensions. This was working ok until I moved my sites from one server to other, but everything else in the forums is working ok. Any ideas?

    restoring permissions on files that need to be written to (ie: chmod 0666) didn't work?
