  • Hi Loan,

    for these plugins you need Newscoop 4.3 version where you can get it from this branch (for now): https://github.com/sourcefabric/Newscoop/tree/v4.3

    then you can for example execute ssh command e.g.: php application/console plugins:install "newscoop/facebook-newscoop-bundle"

    or you can go to Newscoop backend -> Plugins and there will be a nice plugins manager where you will be able to choose plugin you like and install it. 

    Note: you need to clear the cache folder in /newscoop/cache after plugin will be installed.

    PS. it depends also what permissions you have via ssh.

    Best,

  • I tried install newscoop 4.3 by upgrade method and fresh install but still got no success, please tell me how?
  • same problem....

    If I download and upload them they give a error:

    The uploaded archive does not contain an valid newscoop plugin.

    or

    The uploaded file format is unsupported.

    Trying
    $php application/console plugins:install "newscoop/newscoop-paywall-bundle" --env=prod

    I get acces denied (even this root user)


    So any explanation will help

    Thanks
