Recently uploaded Addon not showing in Minion?

Hello. I recently added CraftAutoLoot but I can't find it from Minion. Is there something I am missing? I made sure to select a category when I uploaded it. Any help is appreciated. Thank you.

All uploads are checked and approved manually by the moderation team. Generally the process is pretty quick. You can be sure the addon is available once the "*Pending" text has been removed from the addon's entry in your uploads list (Author -> My Addon List)

That is the strange thing. It has been approved and is available for manual download but still won't show up when searching in Minion. I am stumped.

Try to put your addon into a folder name "CraftAutoLoot"! Currently your zip file only contains two files. They will be just extracted into the addons folder without any subfolder.
I think Minion is not able to work with this single files without a parent folder.

Hi Jhenox,

Minion is ignoring your AddOn because it has no sub-folder inside the zip. You need to have a sub-folder named the same as your txt file but ofcourse with out the txt.

So in your case you need to...
  • Create a folder called CraftAutoLoot (must have the same name/case as your txt file, minus the .txt ofcourse.)
  • Put your lua & txt inside that folder
  • Now zip up the folder you just created that contains that lua and txt files (CraftAutoLoot)
  • Upload your new zip that contains the sub-folder for the AddOn as an update to your AddOn
  • Once approved it should then show on Minion

Thank you all! It was my first addon and I was really wondering about the zip file before uploading and now I know!
