code and mod directories are 777

.js and .gif file uploaded as binary.

mod file uploaded in ascii

all paths correct.

have tried chaning paths inside .v2m from virtual paths to hard links pointing to my forum and the template directory.

code does not get inserted in board and no snowfall,  I get this error when trying to install:

--» Code not found in source ...


please help.

The mod only works for the latest version of the forum code.

To install snowfall in earlier versions, you have to edit the code manually, as I had to in a forum that has to stay back at 9.2 for the moment.

What version of eblah are you using? and what code was not found?

i'm using 9.6

i just setup a new install of 9.6 under a different domain.  board works perfectly.

i uploaded the snow mod and it still doesn't work.  i don't get an error, it just doesn't show installed and doesn't create the other file in the Mods directory showing it installed.

code and mods is 777

If you want me to take a look just pm the ftp details.

Xmas is over by the way  

(Well it is for most!!)

i know   but it's still snowing in some parts of the country

the main reason is I'm just bugged why it won't work.  

I'm curious too, having stuck the same code in other pages where it ran fine.

May be a basic and obvious suggestion, but  have you had a look at the actual section (character by character) of source code in Boardindex.pl to see if it is exactly as the Mod installer is looking for?

A download error might have altered a character, and that would be enough to throw the install off. It's rare, but I've had it happen. Sat puzzled until a fresh download and install fixed the problem.

This is now working OK after uploading a fresh copy of BoardIndex.pl

And so simple in the end.
