User List Module - Problems with Installation

posts: 2

Hi there!

I'm running TikiWiki 2.4 and I'm trying to install the users_list module from Admin Mods but whenever I hit 'Install', I get: modules/users_list/mod-users_list.php to modules/ impossible to copy

I've (perhaps foolishly) tried copying the file manually but to no avail so I'm not really sure where it's going wrong.

Any ideas? :/

Sorry, no solution with me... I just want to say that I've the same trouble withe sevral other mods since the beginning. For example:

  • Phpfreechat tiki-phpfreechat_ajax.php to tiki-phpfreechat_ajax.php impossible to copy
  • Shelfary wiki-plugins/wikiplugin_shelfari.php to impossible to copy
  • Users_list modules/users_list/mod-users_list.php to modules/ impossible to copy

and probably other I hav'nt tried. But I succeeded ton install some other mods...

For those who I can't, I've tried too to copy manually files in several directory but... I've verified with chmod but it seems (to me) all permissions are ok.

If someone else have any clue for this... :^)

Keep in mind that there's no guarantee that files in mods will work with current versions of Tiki. Some things are kept up to date, but mods is also kind of a graveyard for old code that was abandoned by the author long ago.

There's been some talk about revamping mods so it's a better resource for people, but there's a lot of work to do to make that happen.

The impossible-to-copy errors are mostly due to an inconsistency between the package info file that each mod has and the actual paths of the package's files. It wouldn't be too hard to track all these inconsistencies down and fix them, but would take time, and the people who could/would do it are generally really busy already with higher-priority things.

Sometimes the mod server is not sync...
You can always find the source of the mods on sourceforge
http://tikiwiki.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/tikiwiki/mods/trunk/

For users_list - instruction which file to copy where are in
http://tikiwiki.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/tikiwiki/mods/trunk/Packages/modules-users_list.info.txt
the files part

Usually a module consists of a php in the module directory and a tpl un templates/modules directory
