After installing the magento extension, but the extension does not work, as it is not installed

Question

I am using magento 1.6.2.0. When I install some extension in Magento connect, the black box said "Checking package dependencies Installing the package community / TBT _Enhancedgrid 1.3.2.1 Package community / TBT _Enhancedgrid 1.3.2.1 successfully installed Installed package: community TBT_Enhancedgrid 1.3.2.1"

But I feel that the extension is not installed.

First, when I install magento, and then go into the Magento connection menu, the red error message happened as follows.

"Warning. The Magento folder does not have sufficient permissions to write.

So, I changed the folder permission, then the error message disappeared.

And after that, any extension is installed normally, but the extension is not displayed in System → Configuration → Advanced → Disable Modules Output.

I installed the same extension several times on other sites. It works well.

But this time is very strange.

does anyone know the reason

Answer 1

Keep in mind that Magento Connect has several incorrectly encoded extensions, and you should always test them before pushing any changes to the real site.

Speaking, there may be a couple of things that are problems. First check if the module is really installed in the / app / code / community folder. Also check that something similar to TBT_Enhancedgrid.xml exists in the / app / etc / modules folder - this is the file that your module actually allows. Does it have code like this?

<?xml version="1.0"?> <config> <modules> <Example_Module> <codePool>community</codePool> <active>true</active> </Example_Module> </modules> </config> 

If this does not happen, then it will not turn on properly. Secondly, try clearing all cache memory through System> Cache Management> Flush Cache Storage. Third, try logging out of the admin panel and logging in again.

It is also important to check user reviews on Magento Connect, as they can reveal critical information about how it works, and if it disrupts any functionality within Magento itself.
