How can I edit Modules ?

[karc2007]

Hello,

I have installed a module called "glossary 0.5.1". Because, I want to correct some html-errors in its output, I need to edit the PHP-File. But I can´t do it because, if I try to edit it or to copy (with my FTP Program "smartFTP") an edited file over the old one it results in an 550-error.  Also I can´t change permissions with my FTP-PRogram (it also results in an 550-error).

I can change permissions to other files and folders.. but the with PHP-files of modules it is mostly not possible.

Is it possible to edit the php-file from the CMS-System ? I didn´t find a possibility to do that, yet.

Thanks for any help,
Marc

How do you have uploaded glossary module? As xml file or via ftp?

With the module manager.. I think this means as XML-file.

Once, I tried to just upload another another module to my folder /modules/...
but It didn´t appear at "Modules", when I checked it the CMS-Admin.

Do I have to activate uploaded modules somehow? And if so, how can I do it ?

thanks so far,
Marc

If you upload it via ModuleManager your server (means wwwrun process) will be the owner of all uploaded files.

So you have no permission to change something.

But you can use chown command to change ownership.
