Hey there,
I have noticed that you can't install module from just copying it in the modules directory.
You have got to go through the module manager and install it by adding it on the menu, which is painful!
Compared to previous prestashop versions where you could just install the module by copying the file, in prestashop 1.7, it is NOT POSSIBLE (or I don't know how to it properly).
Why is that? In prestashop 1.7, there is a table managing the installed module.
Check for the table "ps_module" and to install a module manually (that you have put in FTP),
you have to insert a new line with the name of the module , active to 0 and version to the version module (check for config_xxx.xml to get the version).
the name of the module must be the same as the module folder name.
I have tested on few modules, it works. But then you have to "RESET" the module to install it correctly.
I haven't been yet doing it but I am sure a script can be done to
Check the modules directory, extract version number from file and insert module which are not installed in the table ps_module.
Pretty easy to done.
Not yet the time to do it!
Hope it helps!
