Almost solely with Waindigo's addons. I had one of Andy's addons that wouldn't stop bugging me but that was it.

Regarding my earlier issue, ignore it. Turns out one of the admins made a mistake. Sorry!

Hello Chris,
Forgive any ignorance in my post as I'm kind of new to Xenforo.
I admin our installation of the software, but have to request that a contracted web developer upload any addons I wish to install, which is a real drag and costs (my boss) more money.
So this addon looks like a most attractive prospect. It was installed byt the web developer, but when I try to upload zip files I get the following error:
Does this refer to the "Some server configurations may not support Add-on Install & Upgrade" that is mentioned in the Overview?
It would be such a pity if our hosting didn't support it! Gahh!
But I wanted to ask, just in case there is another reason. Maybe. Hopefully
Thanks,
G

It's possible.
At the moment, though, it seems like it's more of a permissions issue. If you speak to your developer/server person/host and ask them to look in the feasibility of allowing the web server user to be able to write to certain parts of the file system.
Specifically it's currently failing creating directories at the folder install/addons.
But if that's not writeable, it's likely other parts of the file system won't be writeable either.
I can't really help you specifically; whoever is familiar with the environment and the risks associated with making parts of it writeable would need to decide the best way to configure it.

Thanks for your reply Chris.
Don't worry, I understand that you can't help me specifically - that's not what I was expecting
Oh well, looks like a lengthy chat with the dev guy!
Cheers and have a good day though.

Wow this seems cool. Currently my main computer is a Chromebook so I have to switch over to Crouton and use Ubuntu to do the uploads. It's fine but a little bit of a pain in the but.
This would be nice I'll look into it.
Code:
Server Error
This filter needs the zip extension

PHP zip extension.

I might be missing something silly here, but i've entered my username & password (user email and tried my username 'Snelvuur') but it keeps saying 'Login to XenForo.com has failed. Make sure you login with your XenForo username and password' i don't get any errors back besides that. All other functionality seems to be working just fine.
Me, too - I'm getting the identical error message. I've had this issue the last three or four weeks and changed/resaved the password several times using different combinations thinking it has to be something obvious.
Edit: Agggh -- ignore, sorry!!
I've had little experience with Xenforo, and apparently, between the PW/Username for the license + my forum + this community, I was saving the wrong set into the external services part. I'm just gonna pretend I didn't just spend a month on something this stupid...
