CMS Made Simple Forums

Using CMS 1.1.1, have just installed Picasa Web Album and messed up the CMS admin panel....so all I want to know is how do I remove a module and restore to previous setup?

Thx

Go to "Extensions -> Modules", press uninstall at the link of the module and then press delete, after completing the uninstall.

Unfortunately because I've messed up the CMS admin panel, when I click on the modules link I get the following error -
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '{' in /home/myusername/public_html/modules/PicasaWebAlbumBrowser/PicasaWebAlbumBrowser.module.php on line 588

Is there any way I can uninstall a module via FTP?

Thx

Yes

Just delete the directory modules/PicasaWebAlbumBroser

Excellent, the CMS admin panel is back.  Thank you!

I noticed your end tag...for future reference any advice on how to plan installing a module?  Would like to avoid making the same mistake again.

Cheers!

I guess all that you can do is make sure that your CMSMS and module versions are up-to-date and compatible with each other, also making sure that you've got any other required modules installed too.

If the module you're installing is "out-of-date" and isn't compatible with the current CMSMS version, try going to your cmsmadesimple/modules/themodule/, open 'themodule.module.php' and look for "MinCMSVersion" and "MaxCMSVersion", or similar, and change them so they're within your current CMSMS version.

I couldn't even delete the Picasa folder via FTP!

If you have trouble deleting via FTP check, w/FTP client for permissions, you may need to change it to 777 to delete it...
