Description
ive tried everything and cant figure it out, Im new to drupal and this is my first add on module and just cant get it right... I need to know exactly which files to put where, I downloaded the v6 module, extracted it, put it in sites/all/modules (i had to create the modules folder). then i went to http://qbnz.com/highlighter/ went to downloads, and now it seem like im downloading the same thing, so im totally confused
please help... the readme files are no use

The thing you download from http://qbnz.com/highlighter/ is the GeSHi library, a third party library that does all the hard syntax highlighting work.
The Drupal module you download from http://drupal.org/project/geshifilter is a Drupal wrapper around this library, that integrates the functionality of the library into the Drupal framework.
You need both, typically:
install (just copy actually) the GeSHi filter Drupal module at sites/all/modules/geshifilter
install/copy the GeSHi library at sites/all/modules/geshifilter/geshi
If you use this approach, the GeSHi filter Drupal module should automatically detect the library and every should be fine and dandy.
Then you still have to activate the GeSHi filter (and configure) in the input formats you want to make it work,
if the help module is enabled on your site, you'll find more info at
"your domain"/?q=admin/help/geshifilter
I hope this helps you a bit
