Commercial Joomla Extension Updater to Update Joomla Extensions By Given Template Parameters.

There is two part to use Hippo Joomla Extension Updater to work properly.

• Just Download and Extract it.
• I use T3v3 Framework thats why I use it in my plugin. You should change and edit or add your template compatible codes. Make sure that you put all your params in $extra_query varible on file hippoupdater.php file.

if (defined('T3_PLUGIN') && T3::detect() && $option == 'com_templates.style' && !empty($data->id)) {

                $params = new JRegistry;
                $params->loadString($data->params);

                // Getting Param envato_purchase_code
                $key = $params->get('envato_purchase_code');

                // Getting Param envato_username
                $username = $params->get('envato_username');

                // Getting Template Name to sure which Template requests for an update :)
                $template = trim($data->template); 

                $extra_query = '';

                if(!empty($key) and !empty($username) )
                {

                    // Important: you are supposed to use & instead of a straight ampersand
                    $extra_query = 'purchase_code=' . urlencode($key);
                    $extra_query .='&username=' . urlencode($username);
                    $extra_query .='&template=' . urlencode($template);

• Make .zip file of plg_system_hippoupdater directory, now install it from joomla extension manager 😄
• Add template parameters on templateDetails.xml for username / purchasecode / other data you need from user. Understanding Joomla! templates
• Add your update server on your template you can see my example in this repo or take more knowledge from Adding an update server
• You can use collection server or extension server as you need 😄
• In downloadurl of template_name.xml I use download.php file to serve our updated extensions.

• Put download.php file on your server secure location or others. Here I use envato purchase code verifier to verify my envato valid author who bought my Joomla Template 😀
• You can see joomla-update directory in this repo.
• There is zips directory you can put your latest updated template copy or any where else. Just you should change some code on download.php file.
