Topic: Problem installing exstension

I have running latest version atm, and i have problem with spam bots (ouch).
It's first time i am using PunBB before i have played around with MyBB.

I have downloaded the plugin's i would like to use.
How ever i have not found any documention on how to install them  hmm
Ofc i have googled aroud a little but so far no success.


Beside that i really enjoy PunBB very sleak smile.

Re: Problem installing exstension

Download an extension archive from the PunBB extensions repository or other place. Extract it into extensions/ directory. E.g. your forum root is /home/user/example.com/punbb/ and you download pun_bbcode extension. To install the extension the file /home/user/example.com/punbb/extensions/pun_bbcode/manifest.xml should exist.

Log into the forum and go to Administration ⇒ Extensions (http://example.com/ punbb/admin/extensions.php?section=install). The downloaded extension should be listed there.

Click the Install extension and follow instructions

Re: Problem installing exstension

Hello.

I have read the documentations describing the correct way to install the extensions. I have checked that the extension is compatible with punBB 1.4 and I have tried multple extensions, but I am still getting the error message:

"Loading of extension "pun_bbcode" failed.
Missing manifest.xml."

Here is proof that I have followed directions:

What am I missing?

Thankful for replies.

You have probably "folder in folder". That mean if you open pun_bbcode you will have second pun_bbcode folder. If so, leave only this second.

Thanks for reply, but you can see the directory path in the screenshot I posted above.. Its www -> extensions -> pun_bbcode ->manifest.xml

So it is not folder in a folder.
