Yes, as a joomla update server endpoint. I want to sell plugins, and i want buyers to get notified of updates through the joomla installer, and then being able to update if they have entered the download id. Is that not possible with the package creator or have i misunderstood the functionality??

That's absolutely possible. In my previous reply I've explained where to find the URL for versions. It's a Joomla update server collection. It'll output version checks for all your Joomla extensions. Example as follows.

index.php?option=com_comprofiler&view=pluginclass&plugin=cbpackagebuilder&action=versions&func=joomla&format=raw

Joomla doesn't like query strings in the XMLs version URL though. So you either need to create a redirect from an XML file to it (e.g. just a URL rewrite in htaccess) or wrap it in a CDN (e.g. cloudflare). There isn't anything I can do about that limitation in Joomla. If you don't want it to be a collection you can link to specific packages versions by adding &id=PACKAGE_ID_HERE to the above URL.

Next for download ids that's what Site Keys are for. Just like how we use them here at Joomlapolis. They work with Joomla and with CB alike.

The CBSubs integration is included with the download. It should already be installed and within CB > Plugin Management as CBSubs Package Builder. When configuring a package it's parameters are under Integration > CBSubs Package Builder where you can select plans to apply to your package.



Ok - I think I am getting there - but it is not that intuitive.. I see nowhere the "Integration > CBSubs Package Builder" ??

What about it isn't intuitive? We're certainly open to suggestions. Feedback is always welcome! 😊

That's within your Packages and Presets when editing them in backend. Be sure CBSubs Package Builder is installed within CB > Plugin Management it should be though as it's included with CB Package Builder download.

About not intuitive.. for example, I do not understand how I create different versions of the same plugin ? I have the version in the plugin manifest file in my zip, but do I not enter it in the package builder ?? In short - how do I create an updated version of my plugin ?

I see CBSubs Package Builder nowhere installed !? I only have CB Package Builder

Also - if I add id=1 for specific extension then I get: 401 Unauthorized
