hi,
i dont know how to use the unzip function. it doesnt show up in configuration. a glance at the code tells me i need some unzip feature installed.

// only if unzipping function exists, we have archive file and unzipping set to yes

whats that, and where do i put it?

thanks,
nick

Hi!

unzip is part of the PHP5 "Zip" extension which your server would need to execute this.

Hi!

ZIP is not a default library that is installed usually. You need to ask your server provider if he can enable the PHP5 zip module, either as a shared module or by compiling it into PHP. This is usually only passible with root rights to the server, seldomly doable by the user himself...
