Installing Module?

I Downloaded an extension, I unziped it, went into my site to module installation page.  I have my ftp acount info and I browsed for the Direcotry of the module I wanted to install.

I am unable to install the directory folder.  How do you select the entire directory folder?  When I click on the folder is opens up to other folders and individual files.

This is probably a very stupid questions but I am unable to find the answer anywhere.

Thanks!

Upload the module to the ./modules/ directory in the following format: ./modules/[vendor name (e.g. boonex)]/[module name]. Once done, the module will be ready to install from the administration panel.

I'm having a problem selecting the whole folder to upload.  My download is located in my documents on a windows 7 machine.  It will not select folders just open them until it gets to single files.

I just uploaded through my control panel and extracted there.  I would still like to know how to do it through my dolphin module tool though.

If I read  this well, you have uploaded the module by ftp client to the modules root.  Now you have to go to your administration / tools/modules

here you find two sections: 

1e section on top: all installed modules.
2e section: all modules not installed yet. 

From the second section, you select the module you want to install and click install button below.
Some modules must have other modules installed first. You will see behind the module a red + sign. This opened the screen with ifo over it why its not installes. 

Hope this help you further.

as far as i know, that function does not work uploading a module via the dolphin admin panel. i tried that many times, and it would always report the wrong extension or something.

the best approach is to use a 3rd party FTP client, login to the account and push the 'directory' for the module up to the server, then go into the admin panel, and run the install.

Thanks everybody!

loaded a module using ftp client after seeing this topic:

http://www.boonex.com/trac/dolphin/wiki/TutorialHowToInstallThirdPartyDolphinModules#no1

everything went good but i can't see the module in admin panel (nothing in to "no installed modules" ),

though i see it in modules folder in CPanel.

any ideea?

thanks

Make sure you uploaded it properly.  The top directory for the module should be the vendor directory (e.g., boonex), then the actual module.  For example, /modules/boonex/sounds/.  There should be a few directories directly under the module directory, such as /classes/.
