Hey Guys, Not sure what I'm doing wrong here, but I'm trying to install the Share Menu Plugin, but it won't. And I get the following error messages: (when I upload it directly through BT) This plugin package is invalid... index.php required and (when I refresh my plugins list after I uploaded it, manually, to my server.) • /plugins/JC_ShareController directory contents are invalid because... index.php required Anyone know how to fix this, or get this bad boy installed? Thanks!!! --- PS, I can't seem to get my Thumb Viewer plugin installed either. Different issue, but I'll host a follow up after I get this one squared away. Thanks guys!

(it installed) But now, since I upgraded, everytime I try to edit a screen, i get the errors: A problem occurred while adding this item (2). {"result":"error", "errors":"childItemAddJson is not valid JSON data, childItemAddJson is not valid JSON data"} or {"result":"error", "errors":"nickname already in use, no duplicates allowed"} What's that mean?

Jake Chasan Veteran developer Posts: 1685 Reg: May 13, 2011 location unknow... 29,650	12/11/13 07:19 PM (11 years ago) This is an error in BT3.0, in order to use a plugin which has been upgraded to BT3.0, you may have to change the nickname. If it was called Share this App, you could call it Share App. This is not visible to the user, it is only used for you to be able to identify the screen.

It's a complicated answer, but basically in my circumstance, it had to do with what version of PHP the web host is running. I was on Godaddy, and didn't have a choice of php version. Signed up for HostGator yesterday, and everything works perfect with BT 3.0 (a few bucks cheaper than I was paying with GoDaddy as well).
