I'm getting the error below when I upload the module folder. The error is on the ...admin/build/modules page.

"warning: Error parsing sites/all/modules/seo_checklist/SEOChecklist.info on line 8 in .../drupal/includes/module.inc on line 195."

I have tried installing it, uninstalling it, deleting it, redownloading it, reuploading it, reinstalling it, but as long as the module folder exists on the site I get that error.

I wasn't sure whether to put this as a bug, as I thought it might just be me.

I get the error:

"warning: Error parsing modules/seo_checklist/SEOChecklist.info on line 11 in /home/evilpsp/public_html/propetguide/includes/module.inc on line 195."

Right as I go to my Modules page. Any fix for this?

The .info file is still corrupted. It looks like it some sort of archive file and contains two files: SEOChecklist.install and .\._SEOChecklist.install. This latter file looks like a Textwrangler binary file, while the former file is almost identical to the proper SEOChecklist.install file, lacking only the last line or two.

Not sure why this is an issue, seeing as its a simple text file. Simply copy the text below (excluding the php tags) into a new file and save it as SEOChecklist.info. That should get the module to appear in the module list. Make sure you delete the current .info file.

; $Id$
name = SEO Checklist
description = "Provides a checklist of what needs to be done for good SEO."
package = Other

With that done, you can activate the module and run it. Looks pretty interesting. Thanks.

Thanks. The new info file does the trick and it looks interesting, but a lot of work to do, mostly incremental as you develop pages, severe if you have a huge site and have not done the suggested items because many of them are per node.

It does not check that Google analytics is installed - mine has it and is enabled.

It did not detect that I have CleanURLs.

Title: Error when trying to install the module » .Info file (again)
Status: Active » Closed (fixed)

This newbie CVS user couldn't figure out the commands to update the .info file. I think I've got it but managed to bump this release to an official (non dev) release. So...here it is! The official release! (Oh brother.)

The module is sound, it's just my newness with CVS that is suspect. Thanks for the feedback.

I'll look into the Google Analytics issue, yktdan. But, we didn't build it to auto-detect clean URLs. In my way of thinking, Clean URLs is not a module so the command we are using won't see it. If I'm wrong about that then let me know. That may come in a future release. Right now our focus is on creating 4.7 and 6.0 compatible versions.

Cheers!
