The requested module is not installed

Hi richardjellis,

A couple of questions:

1. What version of EE are you using?
2. Are all the components of the module present? You need upd.module_name.php, mcp.module_name.php, mod.module_name.php, and language/english/module_name_lang.php. And if you are writing a module for EE 3, you also need an addon.setup.php.

Hi TJ,

I’m using 3.3.0 and all of the module components are present. I am packaging an extension with this module, however that is also being correctly inserted on install and updated in the exp_extensions table when I save settings.

Is there a way to debug this error cause the message itself doesn’t really give me much info?

Thanks

I’ve debugged this further and found that the error is being thrown by the $vars[‘_module_cp_body’] not being set. I imagine this is something to do with whatever I’m returning either from my save_settings or my index method. Does anyone know where this index is set?

Thanks

Do you have an index() method in your mcp class, and is it returning anything? If that doesn’t lead you to the issue, can you tell the full URL in your address bar when you receive this error? Thanks!

Hi,

I found it in the end, wasn’t an issue with the index() method. I was using a get method defined in a custom settings library to return my settings from the DB but it was returning empty strings (defaults).

I took the render off the end of the View that save_settings() returned to debug hence leaving the module CP body empty. Got there in the end though.

Appreciate the help Derek and TJ!

Thanks!

Hello, I know this a little old but how did you debug this?

I too am getting “Error: The requested module is not installed:” but everything so far has run successfully. I’ve stripped everything out of my method to just vardump $_POST and the only variable I’m passing is being carried through.

Thanks Chris

Hi Chris, can you share more of what you’re trying to do? Is this a CP controller method, or an ACTion request? And have you tried stripping your method down to a simple “hello world” to make sure your URL paths, routing, and views are behaving as expected? If you can, share the full code for your method that is failing to work as expected. Thanks!
