How do you install a module ?

Hello, Thanks for your last post. But I am still having trouble installing a module. Can some one please explain it to me step by step?

Re: How do you install a module ?

Here's what I have so far. http://www.vibespace.com/dotnetnuke . This is a test site I'm working on. I still need to figure out how to install modules. The only item that I see that refers to adding a module is on top. But, I'm not sure if that is what everyone is referring to. If you could tell me on what part of the browser this feature is, it would sure help!

Thanks

Re: How do you install a module ?

log in as host
go to Module Definition item in Host menu
pre-installed modules can be found at the bottom of the page, check it and click "install"
for all other modules: select "Install new Module" from action menu
browse the zip to install, that should contain a .dnn file at top level
click "Upload" (or "Save File", depending on DNN version)
check the displayed installer log for issues
if no issue is listed, got to the page where you would like to place the module
select the module from the dropdown list in the control center at the top of the page and click add
configure the module and add content or whatever.

HTH

Re: How do you install a module ?

Thanks Sebastian, I'm sorry to say I do not see a module definition item in the host menu. All I have that pertains to a module is the "Add new module" item on the top of my page. Is there another menu I need to load? What am I missing here?

Thanks
