Downloading of plugins

GOOD DAY ZEN CART.

MY problem could be mundane but it is frustrating!

I have installed en Cart v151!!

Now I try to download some of the plugins.:(

I have downloaded - tried to - download quite a number of different plugins.

I navigate to the plugins page, select a plugin to download, click on the download button, and a file downloads.
I am logged in when I do the downloads
I attach one of the files downloaded. All the downloaded files are exactly the same.

I would appreciate your assistance showing me where I go wrong in the downloading of the plugins since I want to do customization of Zen cart.

Kind regards

Re: Downloading of plugins

Zencart does not have an autoinstall function for plugins. You need to download the plugin .zip file, extract it to your local computer and upload the files/folders to your Zencart server files. Most plugins include an installation guide.

Re: Downloading of plugins

Make sure you have disabled any "download accelerators", "download helpers", "download managers", etc...

Re: Downloading of plugins

I have DAP enabled - a download accelerator - and bar uninstalling it could not stop it from running!

ON THE SIDE: I used file zilla previously but changed to coffeecup as my ftp client with excellent results!

Re: Downloading of plugins

Following on from previous comments:

I have DAP integrated with Firefox,
Even when not logged in to ZEN I could not download the plugins.

However, I also use Opera without DAP integration and do not have any problem downloading plugins!!

Re: Downloading of plugins

Issues downloading (not just here) are fairly common with programs like DAP. Just say no and use the broswer's built in download manager.

No need to remove a perfectly good round wheel (which always works) and replace it with a weighted wheel (which occasionally results in the wheel not turning).
