    How do we install a mod
I have downloaded the Global Headers Footers 1.4.1 zip file and uploaded it using BROWSE under MAIN/PACKAGES
i see the files uploaded alright but what do i do next ?


Where is the install button or something similar ?

Thank

Also, There is no /temp/ dir either. I then tried 777 and got the same results

Any ideas ?

Is this issue resolved now? Did you try create that temp folder inside Packages and CHMOD the temp folder to 777?
