Zentools 2

zentoolsIf you use Zentools please post a review at the Joomla! Extensions Directory.

Hi Paul: I am not sure if Zentools 2 is loading to my new site:

alongcameaspider.ca/karen/

It does not seem to be any different from the Zentools I have been using all along.
Do I need to remove the original zentools before uploading Zentools 2?

Hi Tony,

What are you expecting to be different?
Some layouts will be the same

Have you turned on the plugins and published a zentools2 module?

Cheers

Regarding part2 of your question - I don't think it is necessary to delete the previous version

you have both components, zentools and zentools2 - they have somewhat similar UI's but the engine underneath appears to be quite different.

When I just did a couple changeovers, I had to create a new zentools2 version, then unpublish original zentools and publish the zentools2 version.

(I think having both was a wise decision.)

Although they were different layouts

Hi Paul and Blueshift!

I will wait for further instruction on this... I was trying to create a special use for it and could not find the 'solution' to it.

Hi Paul: It was caption style 4... the image is divided into two when hovered and the title is displayed on the left...

Just to confirm you are looking for guidance in how to create this layout?

Hi Tony,
I can only see the original zentools on that page.

Please make sure you have the new module published and assigned to a menu item.
Thanks

i think the misunderstanding is that Zentools2 does not replace (overwrite) Zentools.... it's a whole 'nother thing

Hi There Blueshift and Paul:
I am taking it there was an error in this post, the Zentools 2 is a Module not a component, right?
Again, I have uploaded this and still can't see it in my module manager...
What on earth am I missing here!!!

Thanks Anthony... assigning to a menu item is done... where do I publish the new module? Is that when creating a module based on zentools?
I think I have completed all of that... I am using Rasa2 for the template.

When I click to make a new module, I scroll to the bottom and see the Zentools2 option. You aren't seeing this?

just guessing here, but i'd bet my last dollar that you will likely be bidden to open a ticket.

Hi Blueshift...
It had already crossed my mind...
Strange that I upload it and then it doesn't appear... I am using RASA 2

Hi All:

I think I am uploading zentools and not zentools 2... that's my only explanation!
I will search that out!

by upload, you mean you are 'installing' it via the extension manager?
