External Module is not showing

[adnanbutt050]

Hello Everyone,

I bought an external module and unzip that module under the custom folder, unfortunately, it’s not showing on the left menu bar of the dolibarr.

The configuration on conf.php file is following

$dolibarr_main_url_root=‘http://localhost’;
$dolibarr_main_document_root=’/var/www/html/dolibarr/htdocs’;
$dolibarr_main_url_root_alt=’/custom’;
$dolibarr_main_document_root_alt=’/var/www/html/dolibarr/htdocs/custom’;
$dolibarr_main_db_host=‘localhost’;
$dolibarr_main_db_port=‘3306’;

I’m very thankful if someone can help to make my external module in a running form.

Kind Regards,
Adnan

Hi,

Once put in custom, you need to activate the module on the Dolibarr configuration.
Have you activated the module ?

How can I activate this module as the external module is not displayed under the configure setup tag

[nazeer]

If you are using ver7.0 and above do the following :-

Delete extracted module folder from custom folder.
Go to module setup -> click on Deploy / install External module
select the downloaded module zip file. “You don’t need to extract zip file”
Once its successfully installed go to module setup and activate the module.

Hope this will help.
TX.

I’m using version 9.0.0 when I try to upload external module as you suggest, then it takes much time to upload that module and then it doesn’t show anything

HI,

Could you please :
1- could you please give the module name
2- Make a printscreen of the custom directory
3- Make a printscreen of the module directory in custom
4- make a printscreen of the dolibarr screen of Configuration -> Modules

Module Name DolMessage

Hi,

Ok this is normal, you have unzipped wrongly the module.
In custom directory, you should have the directory “dolmessage” not the “module_dolmessage-2.6.7”
You need to move the two directories dolmessage + framwork into the custom directory and delete the directory module_dolmessage-2.6.7
