Module Manager

[Zucco]

Hi everyone,

I'm starting work with one website, but I didn't build it. And know I want to install new modules. The problem is I didn't see Module Manager on side menu, in website directory is folder and I see it on system information (Installed Modules). Maybe who was build the site it comment somewhere or hide it somehow.

Thanks for any advice how to solve it

Would it be possible you don't have full admin rights?

Please also post your system information (you found it already).

It is possible that de Module Manager (module) is disabled.

Check Extensions > Modules. In the 'active' column there should be a green checkmark. If it's grey click it (the checkmark) to enable the module (checkmark will become green).

I'm not see Extensions->Modules. But I actived it in DB.
And now get error "A problem occurred communicating with the module server" in Module Manager, this is url http://www.cmsmadesimple.org/ModuleRepo ... equest/v2/. I think is old one ?

Yes, you probably won't be able to access the module server until you upgrade. You can still download and install/upgrade modules manually, just make sure to get versions released around the same time as your CMSMS install.

Should I first update modules and after cms version ? Can you say what is road off upgrading from version 1.11.4 to 2.2.7 ? It's 1.11.4 -> 1.11.3 ->1.12.12->2.2.7 ? And should I use FTP ?

[DIGI3]

You should upgrade to 1.11.13 first, then 1.12.2, then 2.2.7. See https://docs.cmsmadesimple.org/upgrading/old-versions.

Generally you upgrade modules at each stage, but I think you could probably go to 1.12.2 then upgrade your modules.

You have quite a few modules which are no longer supported, and what looks like some custom modules that will probably need changes, so you're probably going to have to do some re-thinking of things before going to 2.x.
