Component install help

[TeRRo]

I made a hack for phpShop and I need to make a install for it.
I tried to make my own phpshop_for_mos_files.tar. But it seems that I need to use achrive.php script and don't know how


Please help!

Component files need to be compressed as .zip for the installer to work.

Actually, the installer handles both .tar.gz and .zip files. Hope they get .bz2 support soon too ;)

Wow, did not know that. Good to know.

First : Don't be confused by the user name.
Second : I know how to make install for the component BUT the original phpShop has an archive in the .zip file. The inside archive is the problem. When I use ordinary archivers I get error messags when I try to istall. In the main archive .zip there is a "archive.php" file that handels the (un)archiving the inside archive file. And I'm a litle confused how to use the script.
This time I hope to be clear enough to get the needed help. 10x all.

Hello,

the tar -archive was created with the program 7-zip.
Get it from here: http://www.7zip.org
Please be sure to add the directory structure into the archive. that could be the problem with your tar file.
