Module installation

So … I know how to install a module as an xml file.
I've been trying to install Content Toggler, which is a zip file. I've uploaded the folder into the modules/ directory.
It doesn't appear in the list of module in the admin panel.

I read that the folder name has to exactly match the module name but I'm not entirely sure what that is - I've tried various variations on content_toggle/ContentToggle etc but to no avail.

What am I doing wrong?

I only went down this route because I couldn't make any of the javascript options I tried work.

So I'm having a pretty frustrating time all in all.


Any help much appreciated.

Do you mean this one? http://dev.cmsmadesimple.org/projects/contenttoggle
There is a install.txt with instructions included in that zip file
Extract all files in respective directories (lib/toggle/... plugins/... )

Follow help instructions in help area of tag for using.
(in your admin goto "tags", find "toggle_start" and click on "Help")

Enjoy!

Yes it is that module.
So this is the file path:
modules/contenttoggle/
2 directories under contentoggle - lib and plugins

lib contains toggle which contains some files (php css etc)

plugins contains the function_toggle_start and end php files


It all sounds like it's in the right place …

No, this is a plugin, not a module.

just copy the content of the zip file to the root directory of your site. Then look in the admin under Extensions » Tags.
There you will find your contentToggle
