Install it, doesn't show

This isn't an ezmlm issue, however:

There are two places in your drupal filesystem you can put contributed modules.
In

modules/

or in

sites/all/modules/

The former is where the core modules are, the latter is where the contributed modules should go.
To get ezmlm installed you need to put all of the files in the tarball into

sites/all/modules/ezmlm/

so that you get

sites/all/modules/ezmlm/ezmlm.module

and

sites/all/modules/ezmlm/ezmlm.info

You can leave out the .txt files if you like but it will not do any harm to have them there as well
if sites/all/modules does not exist you will have to create it, usually right-click in your FTP client.
Do remove any files you uploaded in previous attempts, they will only confuse things later if you leave them.

I've got it in my module administration page, but then the block never shows up. What gives?

Try enabling it under Administer -> Blocks ;-)

Yeah - same here in 6.x. It's on the modules page. I can enable it. It shows up in the blocks page. But then never appears in my sidebars. Nothing even in the HTML code.

Have you added a list yet? The block only appears if there is something to show.

There is a bug is D6 though, and I'll post a patch as soon as I chase it down.

Here is a patch for D6 which fixes the settings form. If you can't patch add the following immediately below line 76

  $form['#validate'][] = 'ezmlm_admin_settings_validate';
  $form['#submit'][] = 'ezmlm_admin_settings_submit';

The fix is in CVS and will filter through in due course.

thanks for the patch - i installed the new build of ezmlm that has the patch code in there but it didn't make any difference. nothing is showing up.
