Is it possible to download (already installed) plugins from a live website?
My scenario is that I downloaded a free plugin a while back, extracted it somewhere on my local pc and can't find it again! However I do have the same plugin installed on one of my other live hosted websites, so is it possible for me to 'download' it from Website A, re-zip, and upload it to Website B? If so, how?
Any help appreciated.
Yes, it is possible.
The most important thing to do is carefully read through the plugin XML file, paying special attention to the <files> and <languages>.
I would suggest creating a folder on your desktop, and in there, put all the plugin files that are defined in the <files>. Of course, use subdirectories if any have been defined.
As for the languages, download them and place them in the folder you have created on your desktop. if you see folder="" attribute used on the <languages> tag, create a sub-directory and place the language files in there instead.
Once done, zip up the folder and install it.
Hope this helps
/administrator/plugins or somewhere else? The plugin in question is part of RSForms com_rsform
