Ok, it seems I have a similar problem trying to install Events quickstart as I had trying to install Social quickstart. I installed Events locally and here’s the error I get:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function curl_init() in C:WampwwwJA Eventmodulesmod_jatwitterjatwitter.php on line 332

I only have problems installing Joomlart.com quickstart’s. Every other template club quickstart I try to install works just fine. What’s going on here and how do I fix this?:((

This is a simple one and many users have experienced the same. It is simply the way Wamp is configured out of the box. The JA Twitter module requires php_cURL to be enabled for it to work. While most webhosts set this as default Wamp does not. You have 2 simple options.

1: Enable php_cURL in Wamp. This is very simple. Click on your Wamp icon and go to the menu PHP>PHP Extensions anc tick the php_curl item. Then restart the wamp services and all will be fine.

2: Your second option is to simply logon to the back end of Joomla and unpublish the JA Twitter module.

Either will get you up and running in just a few seconds. Offline I prefer to disable the module as it can slow down the page loading while it searches for Twitter feeds.
