Forum Module

[XpatTech]

Tried the JM_Forum module and i keep getting an "Unable to parse .xml file" error.

Is it out of date and if so is there another module for a forum?

Is it out of date and if so is there another module for a forum?

No and no.

Tried the JM_Forum module and i keep getting an "Unable to parse .xml file" error.

Not sure why XML is not working locally as it is the same file Module manager installs from the repository, but Module manager installs it without a problem and the archive version is also working properly.

I don't get what your explanation means.

Does the JM_Forum work with CMS ver 1.11.10?

[Jo Morg]

Yes, it works.

My explanation means:

1. for some reason XML importing is not working when uploading from a locally stored copy of the XML file;
2. this is weird as its a copy of the same file that CMSMS ModuleManager uses to install JM_Forum from the module repository and this works properlly;
3. iirc it worked when it was released, as it was tested thouroughly;
4. I tested it just before I answered you the 1st time and could install it without a problem through ModuleManager, and by uploading the provided archive file and expanding it on the sever, meaning both this methods work;
5. uploading XML does indeed produce an error, but as it's not the only way to install the module, it's not a critical issue: should be fixed on the next release;

... did I leave anything out?.....

Spot on, did not know i could do it through module manager (newbie error) , tried it and it worked first time.

Thanks very much for your help.
