how to install a plugin?

[tigercat]

Hi there.

How do i get plugins running in CMSMS?

I found the wiki-page for how to install a plugin: http://wiki.cmsmadesimple.org/tiki-inde ... ed+Plugins
So I tried to install the hitcounter that is found here: http://svr.techcom.dyndns.org/projects/ ... er.php.txt

The counter code i stored in plugins/function.counter.php.
This worked so far. Extensions > Tags lists the new plugin but the coulums "Help" and "About" stay empty. This indicates that something does not work.

Inserting the line {hitcounter file="name"} into my template causes problems.  If I preview my website I get a white page.
I replaced "name" by "counter" -> did not work
I replaced "name" by "counter.txt" -> did not work

System: CMSMS 0.11beta

What can I do to make the plugin run?
Thanks a lot.

I wrote that hitcounter plugin over a year ago, for the old 0.8x version of cmsms

try the HitCounter module in the wiki.... it's better anyways.;

Ok I will do .. but where can I find it "in the wiki"? There's a link to the "new" one?
What about the problem with "installing" this plugin? Which settings I've to remember?
Thanks.

Its in the "User Contributed Modules" section of the wiki....
http://wiki.cmsmadesimple.org/tiki-inde ... ed+Modules

also, in my installation the plugin is named function.hitcounter.php, possibly the name of the php file is important.

Congratulations! Installing this as "module" works great.
Thanks for that job.
