Hello Riyas,

I am really sorry for the delay of this reply as it is a weekend for us here. Hm, if you are able to install 1.1.4, then you should be able to install 1.1.6. Did your hosting provider recently updated / upgraded PHP? They need to recompile PHP with zip support.

woowoo...
Great for your (week-end) support...
thanks i update to host providers...

You are most welcome Let me know how this goes.

I'm having the same issue when installing the EasySocial 1.2.16 launcher on Joomla 3.3.1, located on a shared hosting service (Lunarpages). The hosting company says that the php zip library is supported and my phpinfo page shows the following:
ZIP-based phar archives enabled
gzip compression enabled
bzip2 compression disabled (install pecl/bz2)


I've also tried adding the following to my php.ini file:
extension=php_zip.dll
extension=zip.so

Any suggestions?

Hello,

Hm, there could be possibilities that zip_open has been disabled by your hosting provider but to be honest, I can't really tell unless I check the site. Is it possible for you to provide us with the back end and FTP access to your site to check on this issue?

ok, it looks like zip_open() isn't enabled on my server. I wrote a quick script :
zip_open( "/home/user/public_html/ziptest.zip" );
that resulted in:
Call to undefined function zip_open() on line 2

Can you provide a brief overview of the manual installation process?

Thanks!

Hello,

Hm, after testing this, it looks like zip_open wasn't really required. What you can do is to edit the file /administrator/components/com_easysocial/setup/themes/steps/requirements.php and at line 27, locate the codes below

$zipLibrary 	= function_exists( 'zip_open' );

Replace it with,

$zipLibrary = true;

That worked. Thanks!

You are most welcome

I just upgraded EasySocial and had the same issue with the zip requirements. Are you planning on changing the code for future releases?

Hello,

Yes, in 1.3, we'll be removing this check
