I was able to successfully install the Event_Mail.zip, but when I try to install the plugin (plug_cblistfile.zip) I get the following error

Error! Could not find a Joomla! XML setup file in the package.

What next? I'm new to Joomla and not sure how to work around the error.

The cblistfile plug-in is a plug-in to Community Builder. Go to the plug-in manager for Community Builder and you will see how to install it.

Same problem here... i'm not advanced... i need some kind of explicit guidance... how do we install the plugin (plug_cblistfile.zip). I have virtuemart, do i need other dependencies to try Target Mail successfully? (I already had Acymailing...) Thank you

Hello -

Under Community Builder in the Joomla admin you have a menu item that says "Plugin Management"

Select it. At the bottom, you have a "Install New Plugin" area. You browse for the CB Plugin for Target Mail and then it installs.

Ok why is it i don't see "Install Plugin" anywhere.. i'm in the backend of joomla, clicked on the menu Extensions > Plugin manager.. then on this page here is a list of plugins, where i'm able to enable, diasble or edit. But that's all. Perhaps i lack to know what Community Builder is, which i don't see listed anywhere in the joomla admin. Thanks again

Community Builder is the most popular (free) profile management system for Joomla. It is available here:

www.joomlapolis.com/

It enhances the registration and user management aspects of Joomla. Target Mail and Event Mail are both designed to use Community Builder.

The CB Plugin you are having trouble installing is not a Joomla Plugin. It is an extension specific plugin for Community Builder. You need Community Builder installed first, then you go to Community Builder's Plugin management, then you install it there.
