hi - this exact same problem is happening to me -
"Whenever I copy ANY extension's .php file to the extension folder (I've tried several, including Signature, GoogleAds, PreviewPost, etc.) it does not show up in the extension manager. "
I don't really understand what caused Freedman's problem to be solved - can anyone elucidate for me?
(here is basic run down of what I have been doing: d/l zip from internet to desktop - unzip folder to desktop - ssh/sftp unzipped folder to extentions folder on server via WinSCP - all permissions are set the same as all the other permissions - but no dice, nothing at all is showing up in the extentions manager)
nothing atall or a lot of the same extension (whisper, probably)? What transfer are you using to upload them (ascii or binary)? What software is your server running (apache ver, php ver, mysql ver)? What version of vanilla are you running? What version of vanilla were the extensions written for?
1. nothing at all - it is not the whisper problem
2. ascii (i tried binary, that didn't work either)
3. I'm sorry, I don't know the answer to this - it's not my server.
4. vanilla version (0.9.2.6)
5. erk.. only really want to run this Extended Text Formatter 1.1 http://lussumo.com/addons/?PostBackAction=AddOn&AddOnID=8 but looking at it now, it seems it is for version 1 anyway, so it's all a bit moot.
Thank you for your swift response anyhow!
No probs. I'd be surprised if there wasnt a v0.9.2.6 compatible extended text formatter hanging around though... have you tried the one off the wiki? I dunno if mark still has one online.
You're in luck; Vanilla 0.9.2 already has the Extended Text Formatter functionality built in. When Mark was making Vanilla 0.9.3 (aka Vanilla 1), he took a bunch of features out of the core and placed them in extensions.
Im facing the same problem..
the new extensions that are uploaded are not detected and shown in the list for the extension management list.. specifically im trying to install the BBinsertbar
im troubleshooting it now.. any pointers ??..
Whew! I've been working on this same problem and man is it frustrating...
I'm trying to get theses extensions to work

I have version 0.9.2.6
My folder structure looks like this on the server
>extensions (777)
.....>AddComments (777)
..........>default.php (644)
..........>ReadMe.txt (644)
..........>style.css (644)
.....>Attachments (777)
..........>default.php (644)
..........>delete.php (644)
..........>doc_logo.gif (644)
..........>function.js (644)
..........>pdf_logo.gif (644)
..........>readme.html (644)
..........>readme.txt (644)
..........>style.css (644)
.....>BBCode.php (644)
.....>CategoryJumper.php (644)
ect...
The regular extensions which came with 0.9.2.6 are in the Manage Extensions panel but none of these that I've added are appearing. I tried manually changing the exetensions.php file in the appg folder but no dice (just a ton of errors). I am able to get the uploaded extensions to show up on the list if I add the default.php files directly to the extensions folder, once enabled errors starting popping up though because it's no longer in it's folder with it supporting files. PLEASE HELP

Enjoy vanilla though!
Well remembered.

// Loop through each file
while (false !== ($Item = readdir($FolderHandle))) {
$RecordItem = true;
if ($Item == "." || $Item == ".." || is_dir(agEXTENSIONS.$Item)) {
// do nothing
} else {
// Retrieve extension properties
$Lines = @file(agEXTENSIONS.$Item);
if (!$Lines) {
