    Probably because permissions arent set correctly on your system. You need to make the following directories writable by PHP:

    - core/packages/
    - core/components/
    - assets/components/

    Also, you might want to check out this to ensure that your zip archive utility isn’t broken:

      Im still getting an error even the update version shows correctly.
      Please see printscreen attached.

      Ok, in further testing, I agree... Some (like archivist) seem to be working and showing updated version, some like ultimateparent seem to be reporting that an updated version is available but then lists the version installed. This is 50% better than just saying that all packages are up to date (when they aren’t), but not quite working yet.

        looks good ,really neat, i like that everything has screenshots.
        to bad i’m expecting the same issue of being redirected to the main page instead of getting the screenshots-tab (using firefox 3.6..)

        i think the new section lacks the options of `discuss this package` / support/bugs/issues.

        stats doesn’t work for me and i’m reaching a `504 Gateway Time-out`

        • @splittingred #21:

          Did a fresh install right now with 2.0.8-pl and installed some add-ons just for testing.


          Write permissions true for this folders:

          - core/config/
          - core/packages/
          - core/components/
          - assets/components/

          system settings: archive_with setting to "Yes", or 1
          (All other system requirements for Revo were revised and they seem to be Ok)

            I also have these issues...read more here: http://modxcms.com/forums/index.php/topic,61722.msg350594.html#msg350594

            something is messing up the filenames/foldernames...if you correct them manually on the server it works^^, use the error message as starting point like described in the thread above^^...but I have no idea where this is coming from...

              • Good. It seems to be working normal now.
                The new extras section is awesome.
                Thanks a lot for the support.

                Regards,
                • I tried to update my package from the new extra.
                  When seeing the package, I tried to log in, and the URL was http://modx.com/login/?redirectBack=278
                  After logged in,
                  "Uh oh…
                  Someone broke in and stole our content. Reward offered for info leading to its return."
                  Ok, still a bug there.

                  Pushed my back button (twice).
                  Then I saw, the tabs still didn’t work.
                  And just realized, I didn’t see the "Edit" button.
                  Should I edit it from the old modxcms.com/extras/ ?

                  Nevermind, the menus are on the left side. Lol...

                    The new extras section emailed me about my new submission here, http://modx.com/extras/package/metax%28metatagsextended%29 but the link has been 404 since that email 2 days ago. Also when searching for metax, the search auto redirects to this 404 url. Thanks.

                    Love the new features.
