How do you install a module?

I have unzipped and FTP'd the PiSearch module directory into the modules directory. But it doesn't show in Extensions -> Modules ?

I can see it is there and complete in my FTP client, so what do I need to do to get it to show so I can 'install' it?

I have just started with CMSMS, so have uploaded the latest build 0.13. The installation was a breeze. A complete rebuild of an existing website in around 3 hours (and that included installation, reading the documentation and rebuilding the site itself).

The only snag has been how to install a module.

TIA

sure you have a module and not a tag... the PiSearch comes in to flavors, one a module, which when you open the zipped package it has a folder with a lot of stuff in it, the other, tag, is just one .PHP file that you need to upload to the plugins folder...

There are some general instructions for install modules here: http://wiki.cmsmadesimple.org/index.php ... ns/Modules

Make sure you name the folder with the pisearch module files in it: "pisearch".

Thanks so much for helping me Mark and Elijah.

Elijah, as you say, the trick is ensuring the module is named pisearch. It auto unzips in a directory called pisearch103. Rename it and it appears. Magic.
