I am using MSM and EE 2.0
I have been trying to install my first plug in. Google Reader http://www.consumedbycode.com/code/ee_google_reader.
I put it in the thirdparty folder, in it’s own folder, although the folder downloads a large folder name “parrots-Google-Reader-Plugin-for-Expressionengine-2f8509f”. I have tried this folder and then renaming the folder to “ee-google-reader” and no luck. The plug-ins are not showing in the Plugin manager or the templates.
Has anyone else had this problem?

Hi, Gavin. Try making a folder called google_reader instead and put the plugin in there.
Normally I’d have you go to the author for support, but this one was easy enough to figure out.
Does that help?

I don’t believe it and I don’t know why, but that worked. The underscore in the folder name made the difference. I had a dash. Thanks very much.

Hi, Gavin. I can’t help with troubleshooting the problems with the Google Reader feed, but do other feeds work as expected? (Using Magpie)
