Terence Mclean Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 I'm trying to upload plugins but every time it says "You do not have permission" and comes up with the error "The file uploaded is invalid" but I've tried different plugins and they're all XML, I don't understand.

AndyF Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 This might sound a silly question (sorry) but you are trying to upload the .xml in the 'Plugins' section of the Admin Control Panel and not into another section of the ACP or into a post ? Very simple process for basic plugins, please see pics: 1. Click System on the left side on the Admin Control Panel 2. Click Plugins in the list 3. Click 'Install New Plugin' on the right hand side of the plugin list page 4. Browse for and select the .xml file of the plugin you wanted to install 5. Click 'Install' The only other immediate cause can think of is the xml you are trying to use is not a plugin its something else such as an xml for a previous version (for example a 2x or 3x 'BBCode') or suchlike. Did you obtain the plugin from the Marketplace ? Please post the link here to it if it persists and I'll take a look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terence Mclean Posted January 31, 2016 Author Share Posted January 31, 2016 That's what I did and it came up with the error, and yes I got it from the marketplace: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nathan Explosion Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 Into which version of IPS 4.1 are you trying to upload this 3.x plugin? (that's the clue, by the way ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terence Mclean Posted January 31, 2016 Author Share Posted January 31, 2016 Is there a way I can add this plugin to my site anyway? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nathan Explosion Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 Are you running IPS 4.0.x or 4.1.x? If so, see if the author of the plugin has created a version compatible with those releases of the IPS Community Suite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adriano Faria Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 Not this version. You better request the author to make it compatible (do a new one actually) or request one on this forums https://community.invisionpower.com/forum/420-request-modifications/ or even take a look on Providers and hire someone to make it for you: https://community.invisionpower.com/third-party/providers/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyF Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 That's the issue then as pointed out, its for 3x. If the 'news' is not likely to change too often you could either make an announcement and put it there or if you have Pages (formerly IP.Content) a custom block could be put there quite easily.
