The addon could not be enabled because it generated a fatal error:
Success

    The same thing here. I can't view the error, maybe there's any config we're missing?

    Enable errors thing or anything.. :/

    Make sure you use 2.0.18b4 an reproduce the error.
    Then look in the source code for the exact same text:
    "The addon could not be enabled because it generated a fatal error"
    Then show a piece of code of the source code. 5 lines above the text and 5 lines under this text.

    seriously lighten up a bit. you can't put "lol"? Do you not see the funny side?

    In V1 developers forum it was a more relaxed atmosphere.

    grep is your friend.

    Of course you can put "lol", just say something more than just "lol"

    does that mean 1+s are going to be deleted? Astounding. Can't argue with that logic.

    You can do what you like, but if your mission is to build communities then prob a good idea act like one.

    grep is your friend.

    Look, my delete button got clicked a bit fast, that's all. If you're so troubled by it, I apologize, now let's get back on topic.

    BTW This discussion is marked "Answered" - is there any way to change that ?
  • RishiRishi
    I somehow manage with a little unconventional use of the "Open page in another tab" function. Another user posted this option: I.e. when clicking "Apply" do a rightclick and choose open page in another tab. Then I close the previous tab. And voila - no BONK.
    I'm not familiar with looking into codes and (always) under some time pressure to make things work. BUT I would like it work more "solid" when adding plugins and themes ...

    Probably not. There's a difference between "Answered" and "Accepted". If you've followed my advice and you see that it resolves your problem, just accept one of the answers and post in the thread that it worked.
    For BONK errors follow luc's advice.

    Hi sorry take so long to reply.. actually i'm using the 2.0.17.10 version.. so i think i'm at the wrong topic :)

    anyways here's the piece of code you asked for:
    <?php if ($AddonUrl != '') echo Wrap(Anchor(T('Get More Plugins'), $AddonUrl), 'li'); ?> <?php echo $this->Form->Errors(); ?> <?php echo T('The addon could not be enabled because it generated a fatal error: <pre>%s'); ?> <?php echo T('Plugin'); ?> <?php echo T('Description'); ?>

    It's fine, let's continue with the problem in this topic.
    The problem is that somewhere else... in the form, some errors occurred. I cannot tell you exactly where in the code to look.
    It's because of this code:
    <?php echo $this->Form->Errors(); ?>that you get your error message.

    Thanks!! I'll try to debug the code, but still think that's a server config issue.. because in my local server both versions (2.0.17.10 and 2.0.18b2) are working properly.
