Problems installing blocks

Permalink
I have found a couple of blocks that I would like to try out but when I have downloaded them and assigned their license to my project I can't seem to find the block anywhere. If I look in my file manager under"/packages" I can find the files but they don't seem to load up. Any ideas please?

Are you installing the packages under Dashboard -> Extend concrete5?

1) What package are you installing?
2) Are there any errors on install?
3) Where are you looking for the blocks and not finding them?

Hi, the block is eCommerce. I have now downloaded the add-on to file manager and unzipped it to /packages/eCommerce. I now get the block in the add functionality part of dashboard but with an error message of "broken package"....

If you are trying to install this package -http://www.concrete5.org/marketplace/addons/ecommerce/...

That is a version 5.6 package and will not work on a site built with 5.7+

Either way, package names should not have any capital letters, they are always all lower case with underscores.

Thanks for that info. I will have to look at something else then.

I believe there are 2 options for ecommerce for the current C5 versions

Community Store:https://github.com/concrete5-community-store...
Vivid Store:https://github.com/VividWeb/vivid_store...
