Today morning I installed Final extract plugin & is working absolutely fine. I chose plugin manager -> browse -> upload & hit (i) to install.
Now I uploaded another plugin called Ad plugin the same way, plugin manager -> browse -> upload but i can't see it in plugin manager so unable to install..
i checked the plugin folder thru FTP software & I can see all the extracted files of Ad plugin in plugins folder.

what is wrong & how to install this ad-plugin ?

thank you.

i checked the plugin folder thru FTP software & I can see all the extracted files of Ad plugin in plugins folder.

are those files in a subfolder?

are those files in a subfolder?

final extract was installed in one folder called final_extract by plugin manager ...
BUT
this Ad plugin is in root folder of plugins directory :

here's a screenshot :

you must have a sub folder for each plugin with all folders  files a in this sub folder:
you should extract the ad_plugin files in a folder named ad_plugin and put this folder into your server plugin folder

made a sub-folder with name : ad_plugin, this time its viewable in plugin manager, after clicking (i), i get this message :

Fatal error: require() [function.require]: Failed opening required 'plugins/copper_ad/include/init.inc.php' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/orangewa/public_html/plugins/ad_plugin/codebase.php on line 36

it seems you have to rename the ad_plugin directory to copper_ad

i renamed it to copper_ad & clicked (i).... but plz see now its giving me this message :
Critical error
There was an error while processing a database query
can't see the gallery ....

but now i deleted the copper_ad folder, seems ok, but can't install the ad-plugin still....

If you don't want to upgrade as you were asked to do yesterday, then you should start preparing to backup your Coppermine before you get hacked instead of bothering with a plugin.

<!--Coppermine Photo Gallery 1.4.20 (stable)-->

<!--Coppermine Photo Gallery 1.4.20 (stable)-->

sorry about that..

i upgraded now but it still shows me :

You have currently installed: 1.4.20
If you think this is entirely wrong and you're supposed to be running a higher version of Coppermine, you probably haven't uploaded the most recent version of the file include/init.inc.php

[François Keller]

seems you have not updated your gallery. Make sure to do exactly what is  explained in the doc http://coppermine-gallery.net/demo/cpg14x/docs/index.htm#14

looks like its done now ......

thanks...

now should i try re-installing ad plugin ?

[François Keller]

yes, but put all ad plugin files in a folder names copper_ad to make it working

when i m uploading thru plugin manager, it doesn't show-up in plugin manager but if i upload it thru ftp software, this msg. appears :

Critical error -
There was an error while processing a database query

[François Keller]

don't upload via plugin manager, but via FTP
Before, look in the plugin table if the copper_ad plugin entry is deleted.

[Saif]

this screenshot will tell you how the present statues at plugin folder via ftp looks :

[Saif]

its not allowing me to delete the adv folder, it was created yesterday when i uploaded copper-ad plugin via plugin manager...

[François Keller]

try to open this folder and delete his content before deleting the folder (what ftp client do you use)

[Saif]

i use ws_ftp pro 2007, its not allowing me to delete the folder or any of its content ..
