Using CMS Plugins
The Garden Gnome Package (GGPKG) is a package format for content management systems that lets you easily embed your projects into your website.
To output a Garden Gnome Package, click the Generate GGPKG button in the Output panel.
The package can also be created by selecting it as an HTML template in the HTML5 output. You would use this, for instance, if you wanted to make a droplet for a GGPKG output.
In order to use the package format in your CMS, you must first download and install the plug-in for your CMS.
Create a GGPKG
- Add an HTML5 output.
- Click the Generate GGPKG button to output the project.
- Add this GGPKG to a CMS website:
✭ The package can be viewed locally with the Garden Gnome Package Viewer.
✭ Any assets added to the HTML5 output will also be included in the package. This is useful for when you have a gallery component and need to bring external files into the package.

Troubleshooting
Having troubles? Please take a look at the following requirements. If these don’t fix your issue, feel free to contact us.
-
Do not use numbers (0-9) in the beginning of the GGPKG’s file name.
-
Make sure the ZIP extension for PHP is installed on your server. In most cases, if it is not installed you will get an error message stating it is missing. You will then need to contact your host provider and ask them to install it for you.

Do not use special characters (á, $, ^, etc.) in the package file name.
-
Do not use spaces in the package file name.
