Serendipity Forums

I am having trouble installing some plugins, the three I am most interested to get working are:

1) User Self Registration
2) Suggest Entries
3) Contact Form

All three give the following error:


Error: serendipity_event_contactform:4f7ff3cc8369f90534f9f9f47af934a5 (online_repository)
DEBUG: Plugin serendipity_event_contactform:4f7ff3cc8369f90534f9f9f47af934a5 not an object: .
Input: Array ( [adminModule] => plugins [pluginPath] => online_repository [install_plugin] => serendipity_event_contactform [spartacus_fetch] => [action] => [adminAction] => ) .

This error can happen if a plugin was not properly downloaded (check your plugins directory if the requested plugin was downloaded) or the inclusion of a file failed (permissions?)

My hosting provider is godaddy.com and my plugins directory has write permissions, so I am not sure what else to try here. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Hi!

It seems you try to use Spartacus to fetch those plugins? Seems Godaddy doesn'T support that method.

You'll need to upload the extracted ZIP files you can download via http://spartacus.s9y.org/ to your plugins directory, then you can use and install those plugins!

HTH,

Thanks, I will give that a shot, I thought I got other plugins to work that use Spartacus, but maybe they are not installed with the same method. Thank you for the assistance.

I also use GoDaddy and both ways of installing plugins work fine for me. When I first installed Serendipity I didnt use Spartacus at all. I manually FTP'ed the files to the server and installed them from the admin panel. Later I installed Spartacus and have used it ever since with no problems.
