JoomlaPlug!

Hi, your component is fatastic! It saves me time and tedious task from doing over and over.

1. I wonder if you could suggeshow a way (altering the code)that would allow me to handle file gzipped via the intermediate step of creating a tar-file (the final extension of the compressed file is filename.tar.gz).

I gzip my installation under Unix using tar.exe and gzip.exe plus the command line commands.

Your current code looks for a file created in one step with an extension filename.gz.

2. Is there a way to include an option to upload local package. Currently the LOCAL package roll down list refers to the install folder of the tartget site. I mean by local, the PC.

Thanks.

Hi there! JoomlaStart was not developed for this purpose, to handle custom made files, however you could try JoomlaCloner, it will come much handy and it has support for .zip, .tar and .tgz files!

About the JoomlaStart tar type, yes, it's possible but as i said, it's purpose is to be a one file to upload and run, adding more code will make the file harder to work with!
