XF 2.2 Addon for Template Modification not applyed

[drfuture1]

Hi,
i created a very simple "addon" through xenforo UI to modify a template. After i moved this addon to a new forum and installed it there - it does not work (The Modifikation is not listed at "Template Modifiacations" on Dev-Mod.

The addon.js:

{
"legacy_addon_id": "",
"title": "Template x",
"description": "Insert Script",
"version_id": 1000,
"version_string": "1.0",
"dev": "Mrx",
"dev_url": "",
"faq_url": "",
"support_url": "",
"extra_urls": [],
"require": [],
"icon": "logo.png"
}

The only Folders:

/_output/template_modifications/public

Src JS.json:

{
"template": "PAGE_CONTAINER",
"description": "Do something.",
"execution_order": 10,
"enabled": true,
"action": "str_replace",
"find": "</footer>",
"replace": "$0\n<script> <!-- JS -->xxxxx\>
}

one level up there is a _metadata.json with the hash to JS.json

since creation of this addon and installation on the new forum there was a version update from 2.2.6 to 2.2.7
Do i have to change something to have loaded the modification?

It sounds like you may have missed some steps.

The _output directory and the JSON files that have been created are only for development purposes and aren't used for deploying the add-on to other sites.

You need to build the add-on release which will convert it into an installable zip file you can install via the control panel of the target site.

Let's build an add-on | XenForo

For some people, getting stuck straight into a project is the best way to learn, and the aim is that in the following sections you will learn how to build an add-on, from scratch. Be prepared; this isn't a simple 'Hello world' type demo. This is actually a fairly full featured demo add-on which...

If you just transferred files, then you can import from local files, but you must have development mode enabled. Well, this is not done in production. Just check out the documentation in which everything is scheduled.
