Installing Designer Content Block
Permalink 1 user found helpful
Hey all,
Apologies if I am missing something simple here... I've downloaded the designer content block and uploaded the entire directory to my root 'blocks' directory.
I then went to 'Add Functionality' in my dashboard and I do not see anything available to install. I am running Concrete v 5.4.2.1
Thanks!

Check the folder that you uploaded and make sure the actual package isn't nested inside that folder. What I mean is that if you open the "Design Content" folder you should see a series of files that include a conroller.php. If, however, you open the folder and see another folder titled 'designer_content' then you need to move that nested folder up a level...
hey thanks for the reply... Great tip!
The block files do appear to be where they should be. Within my blocks/designer_content folder it dives right into the icon.png, controller.php files etc.

You posted that you 'uploaded via FTP' can you get the block directly from the MP to your site?
Maybe try uploading again, it's possible a file was corrupted in the process.

Maybe it is just terminology, but you mention uploading a block whereas designer content needs to be installed as a package.
Oops. Your problem is that the "Designer Content" add-on is not a block, but in fact a package and as such, should be in the "/packages" directory. The blocks that it generates are placed into the "/blocks" folder automatically. Hope this helps!
