Tools in Dashboard is missing

markjordanco

Hi everyone,

I've managed to install the blog module manually and it shows on the dashboard just fine. However, I'm having a hard time installing the other modules like backup and user_guide. I don't even see the 'Tools' module on the dashboard.

The files from https://github.com/daylightstudio are already in my fuel/modules directory running php index.php fuel/installer/install user_guide inside /[My Fuel installation folder]/ doesn't seem to work though, it returns the homepage markup in the terminal.

Any help?

Thanks!

You should just be able to place those folders in the fuel/modules/{module} name. You will need to rename the folder most likely from what is downloaded to the module name (e.g. user_guide, backup, etc). Tools is just a grouping in the navigation and isn't a module to download. After they are placed in the folder, you can run the installers to install the permissions and add it to the allowed modules in the fuel/application/config/MY_fuel.php file.

Thanks for the response admin!

I solved the problem by changing the value of $config['uri_protocol'] from 'PATH_INFO' to 'AUTO'.

Do you know why that fixed my problem? How does changing the uri protocol config variable affect the system anyway?

It depends on what your server supports:
