Newb needs help installing modules

[anonymous479]

I have been miserably unsuccessful installing modules. The closest I have came is with this gift card module: http://www.zen-cart.com/index.php?ma...oducts_id=1024

It appears in the order total, and I install it, but then it doesn't show in the tools. Where could I be i going wrong? I'm using filezilla and on hostgator

It should work as long as you read the instructions very carefully. It's mostly learn by trial and error (at least in my case).. if it still doesn't work, you should perhaps consider writing a detailed step by step description of everything you do when you're trying to install the module. That way it will be easier for us to identify what step goes wrong (if any)..

I feel like I've been following them to a T. I just attempted using a brandnew install of zencart from fantastico.

Here's the step by step of what Ive done
-extracted the zipped files
-open filezilla and copied the admin and includes folders (only two in the file) on to the public html
-logged in to zc admin.
-modules>order total.... gift card now appears. install using default values.

-navigated to to tools... No gift card manager

I have figured it out. My admin folder is named zc_admin, not admin as all the add on files are.

Firstly, you shouldn't post your admin page name.
Secondly, zc_admin is a very easily guessed name - you should use something much harder to guess such as a random series of digits and letters.
