Title: PAGE BUILDER not installing - why?
Post by: moody on April 04, 2025, 05:28:03 AM

I have downloaded Page Builder and have attempted to install it on AbanteCart V1.4.1. By following the installation instructions it tells me that the extension has been installed successfully, yet when I access Page Builder under DESIGN nothing happens, if I list all EXTENSTIONS it shows as INSTALLED and STATUS ON. What am I doing wrong? Have attempted numerous times by uninstall and reinstall, activate or deactivate but no success.

You don't need to download PageBuilder anymore. Since v1.4.1 it is a part of core. (https://github.com/abantecart/abantecart-src/tree/master/public_html/extensions/page_builder)
Try to uninstall and delete it. Then take folder https://github.com/abantecart/abantecart-src/tree/master/public_html/extensions/page_builder from git and place into your extrension directory.
Then install and let us know about result.

Hi and thanx

It's made no difference. I have uninstalled Page Builder, and deleted it completely from EXTENSIONS directory (after the uninstall with ALL EXTENSIONS uninstall was performed), I reloaded the PAGE BUILDER folder (from the extracted file) into extensions. Therefore neither the original bundled PAGE BUILDER, nor the downloaded PAGEBUILDER folder will work when I look for it under ADMIN-DESIGN-PAGE BUIDER.

On INSTALLING the extension, the system tells me that the installation was successful and it is visible in the ADMIN-EXTENTIONS-ALL EXTENSIONS page  - STATUS is ON. (as per the image that I posted yesterday). The installation is lightning fast (if that might give any clues??)

I have resolved to delete the complete app from root, deleted database too, and reinstalled the entire system from scratch  - still the same result. When I go to ADMIN-DESIGN-PAGE BUILDER - it shows me the same as what I posted earlier, BLANK.

I am running on LOCALHOST - PHP 8.2.12  XAMPP - MariaDB 10.4.32. - It's a stock standard install, I have not fiddled anything.

Any other ideas?

Hi

For the record, just checked, the FORMS MANAGER and the BANNER MANAGER are also installed and and show up on the EXTENSIONS page as installed but when selecting them, they give me the same result as with the PAGE BUILDER extension. That means that there are at least three of the "active" extensions that the Dashboard is not able to activate.

This is a virgin installation that I'm attempting to evaluate.

Check your php.ini file — Make sure fileinfo, mbstring, and zip extensions are enabled. These are often required by page builders or dashboard components.
