Mod stickynotes v1.0

[mgrc]

Hi,
Nice job on the Nautilus!

I have not seen anyone mention issues with module Stickynotes yet, so here I go.
The module installation from EDC works (no errors), but I am unable to use it.

Phpmyadmin shows the module is installed as backend mod and I do not see it in administration area under modules, but I expect this is normal since I can not see any other backend module displayed there.

Other modules like simplepoll install and work fine.

In the repository the file /other/stickynotes.php is not created, but simplepoll_xx.php is, so I do not think it is file ownership or permission issue.
 
There is no apparent way to uninstall it so I delete database and files manually to be able to reinstall.
Also tried uploading the module from my computer, and it says install successful like EDC does but still same issue.

Hello,

I've the same problem with many modules and plugins that I install from the Browse EDC, like stikynotes, Keep Alive, Download file management, Latest articles...

But for example, Simple Poll and Google Docs Viewer works well.

thanks

It is normal to have such questions as the official documentation is not yet available
So, a quick answer.

Elxis in administration for tables/lists uses AJAX grid.
Except from the visible things (columns, etc) in each grid there are often other options bellow which are revealed by clicking on the magnifier glass (left bottom corner).
In the modules grid if you click the magnifier glass you will see an option to pick between frontend and backend modules.
Select section = backend and click submit.

You manage the backend modules like the ones for the frontend section.
A good position to place the stickynotes module is cpanel

The module is working fine, if you face any problem please report it to me.

The module is working fine, if you face any problem please report it to me.

Tried to install 2 modules: Sticky notes and Simple poll. Tried both ways: From EDC Live and by downloading the package locally and then Upload & Install. And i get this, in both ways:

- Could not rename/move /repository/tmp/package_20120930082058_830/mod_stickynotes.php
- Could not rename/move /repository/tmp/package_20120930082155_233/mod_simplepoll.php

_{P.S: Repository and it's contents are writable}

There is an issue on moving files from repository to Elxis file system via FTP that has not yet been solved.
Make folder modules writeable (777) and it will be installed.

On installations that don't need an FTP connection everything is working fine.

Ok

No rush! Just testing and reporting

Just for your information to better understand the reason of this problem.

Why need to move files from repository during install?

During install Elxis uses repository as a temporary location for the extension to be installed.
The extension gets downloaded into repository, unzipped there, and then Elxis moves extension files to their final location.
The repository must be writeable by the web server.
The final location can be non-writeable. In this case Elxis tries to move the files by using an FTP connection (if enabled).
If this move fails the installation also fails.
Elxis always cleans up the repository, so you will never see any temporary installation file there.

Yeap, got it!

Thanks, works great!
Like the ajax grid!

Im trying to install different extensions, and it works only if i make the modules folder writable.

Does the issue still exist?

_{I'm using Elxis 4.x rev 1358}
