I have just downloaded a couple of plugins and the Improve website / CD doesn't open, I get this message.

I have tried reloading it and get the same result.

The other ones I downloaded open OK :-
Add GRO event
FTP Website Manager

If there was a line number in the message it will help Mike to track it down. I found the image, you forgot to click the 'Click Here' message.

The problem is actually two-fold.
(1)
There is an error in the code under certain failure conditions that lead to the error message.
That error will be fixed in the next Version.
(2)
The problem is caused by a discrepancy between the Plugin Title and the Plugin Filename.
The Filename replaces the - (hyphen) between CD and DVD with a space.
(Jane ~ Could you look into this please, as it is another discrepancy problem in the Plugin Store)

As a workaround, please use Tools > Plugins and select the Plugin name, then use More>> > Rename and insert the - between CD and DVD and click OK.

The code to rename the downloaded plugins removes the - as well as the backend replaces all spaces with them when they are stored on the server.

So please change your plugin name to avoid them.

I will pass a message to make sure any future plug names are checked to ensure they do no contain _ or -

Jane ~ Perhaps FH itself should be updated to prevent invalid Plugin Names from being created in the first place.

Tonight I plan to publish a slightly improved V1.2 with the hyphen removed from the name, so the problem should be overcome.

This Plugin Version 1.2 is now available. See the Help & Advice page for full details.

Its name has been slightly changed, by removing the hyphen between CD & DVD, to overcome the above download problems.

It now allows the style of added names to be chosen as Italics only, or Underline only or Italics & Underline.
In addition, tooltip pop-ups identify the added names when the cursor is hovered over them.
