I've just installed on my Joomla 1.0 site.

The installation went fine.
The Content appeared to compile fine.
I got the "Remove All" and "Download to 1.5" buttons, but when I click on the Download, I get back a blank screen.

I can't find a downloaded file so I'm assuming it didn't work.

Any help will be appreciated!

I got the "Remove All" and "Download to 1.5" buttons, but when I click on the Download, I get back a blank screen.

Please make sure the following directories are writable(777)

/administrator/components/ com_export_content/new_version/...

/administrator/components/ com_export_content/img/...

/administrator/components/ com_export_content/zip/...

And then try to re-compile again.

Thanks for your response.

OK, I changed the file attributes to 777 on all the above directories, their subdirectories and their files. I did receive a message at the end of the compile this time that said something to the effect of you may now use the Download Icon to download the compiled data.

When I click on the Download Icon, it works for a while and then I get a blank screen. I have to sign back into Joomla. It never asks me where to save the downloaded data.

When clicking the download icon you should be taken to the download page.

It sounds as though there are either permission or file ownership issues on /administrator/components/ com_export_content/... causing problems.

You could try making everything 777 just to see if the problem goes away.
Please make sure you uninstall export content as soon as you have finished moving the data as files set to 777 may be a security risk.

Or if your not sure what file ownership means please search the Joomla forums as there is plenty of info on it.

A few other things to check.
Have you got the correct version of export content installed?
You should have version 1.7.0 installed on Joomla 1.0+ site.
And version 2.0.0 on Joomla 1.5+ site.

Have you got iconv lib enabled on the source site.
Note: If you have PHP5+ iconv lib is normally enable by default but if it's PHP4+ you may need to get your host to look into for you.

Please let me know how it goes, thanks.

OK, I'm running PHP 5.2.9 with Iconv enabled (Iconv library version 2.5).

I uninstalled and reinstalled the component with no problems. I set /administrator/components/ com_export_content directory, all it's subdirectories and all their files to 777.

After install, the component displays that it is version 1.7.0 for Joomla 1.0 sites so I'm pretty sure I have the right version.

When it compile, it comes back to a blank screen. When I sign back in, I have the download to 1.5 icon. When I click on the icon, it works for a while and returns a blank screen. It never asks where I would like the download.

I haven't installed on the destination (1.5) site yet, but I can't see how that could be a problem.

Any other ideas?
