Can't seem to install any addon

Permalink
Hello!

Just to clarify, I did use the forum search function, but did not find a solution to my problem.

So I've recently installed the latest version of concrete5 on my webspace, everything works just fine – except the installation of addons.
I've downloaded plenty of free addons from this homepage, installed them as in the relevant how-to, and in the dashboard they show up as correctly installed. However, in edit mode there is absolutely NO new block showing up whatsoever in the add block function, just the standard blocks. I tried deleting the cache and reinstalling the whole thing, didn't help.

Did I forget something obvious or is this not normal?

I hope somebody can help me solve my problem – thanks for that in advance.

Greetings,
Dagovix

make sure you are uploading to siterootdirectory/packages and not siterootdirectory/concrete/packages/

Thanks for your answer!

As for making sure to upload it to the right place: I certainly did. (Otherwise it would'nt have shown up on the dashboard in the first place, I think.)

Any other solution theories? :-(

Try to check your concrete5 database table 'blocktypes' and see if it's present there. What value does the field 'btIsInternal' have?

Thanks for your answer!

The table "BlockTypes" is present. However, it only contains entries for the standard blocks included with conrete5. In spite of that, my new addons which I have "installed", do show up in the dashboard as correctly installed, but do not appear when editing pages. The field "btIsInternal" has the value 0 for all the standard blocks.

is it a completely new install or did you upgrade an existing page?

Just to be sure.... the addon installed is shown in the dashboard left column 'currently installed' right? and not in the right column 'downloaded and ready to install'.

Some addons don't provide blocks, but provide other functionality.

Can you paste the contents of your Dashboard > Debug > Environment info? That'll show what packages are installed and some other useful info.

@Hkofoed: Completely new install, and yes, they really show up as installed.

What addons are you trying to install?
Can you take a screenshot of your add functionality page?

Is there any error message that's displayed?
Have you taken a look at this page?

I have the same problem here. And I'm not sure what led to it. I can't install any add-ons or themes through marketplace.
I have two sites with two different concrete5 versions and i have this problem with both! First one with has version 5.4.0.5 and it throws following error in error.log:
PHP Fatal error:  Call to a member function getRemoteURL() on a non-object in /srv/www/vhosts/www.mysite.com/doc/concrete/tools/marketplace/connect.php on line 18, referer: http://www.mysite.com/index.php/dashboard/install/browse/addons/?ccm_paging_p=2


The other one (5.4.1.1) doesn't log any errors but shows me:
* Invalid package or no package specified.


Any ideas why it's happening?

I have similar problem; addon seems to be installed (see left column) but there is an error and the addon is not properly installed.

I'm also facing the same problem. None of the add-ons can be installed.

Maybe you can try the solutions found in this link and see if it works for you,
