No xml file with own module?

[freak]

Hi fellows,

I'm currently busy on this tutorial. I succeed upto the uploading part. However, after the zip-file is uploaded, I get the error-message 'ERROR: Could not find a Joomla! XML setup file in the package.' . Eventhough I'm sure the xml as described in the tutorial exists in the zip file.

Who helps me out?

Regards,

Freak

Hi,

I've found the error. It states the following in the tutorial for the xml file:

Code: Select all

<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<mosinstall type="module">
    <name>Related Items</name>
    <creationDate>19/Aug/2003</creationDate>
    <Author>Andrew Eddie</author>
    <copyright>This template is released under the GNU/GPL License</copyright>
    <authorEmail>eddieajau(at)users.sourceforge.net</authorEmail>
    <authorUrl></authorUrl>
    <version>1.0</version>
    <description>Shows related content items based on
        keywords in the meta key field</description>
     <files>
         <filename module="mod_relcontent">mod_relcontent.php</filename>
     </files>
</mosinstall>

Which is not valid, because cannot be closed with . So the valid xml code should be:

Code: Select all

<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<mosinstall type="module">
    <name>Related Items</name>
    <creationDate>19/Aug/2003</creationDate>
    <Author>Andrew Eddie</Author>

    <authorEmail>eddieajau(at)users.sourceforge.net</authorEmail>
    <authorUrl></authorUrl>
    <version>1.0</version>
    <description>Shows related content items based on
        keywords in the meta key field</description>
     <files>
         <filename module="mod_relcontent">mod_relcontent.php</filename>
     </files>
</mosinstall>

Anybody know where I can report this so it can be solved?
