Implementing Custom Payment Plugin

Hi.
I recently tried to create a custom payment plugin, following the structure of the available plugins on HikaShop
What I want to ask is, how do I install the plugin, so that both Joomla! and HikaShop recognize my custom plugin?
Does it have to deal with the .xml file? What information or code snippet that I should add?

p.s. I try to follow the Bank Transfer plugin from HikaShop. So it has all the files like the bank transfer plugin, except that I don't have the pluginname_configuration file, since I don't create any custom configuration on the backend site yet.

Replies are very helpful. Thanks!

Hi,

1. You'll have to change the xml file.

2. You'll just have to ZIP all you plugin's files and install it through the Joomla extension manager .

what part on the xml that I should change?
I noted that payment plugin xml is slightly different from the other standalone plugin

If you want to, you can maybe send me a ZIP of your plugin file, then I'll do the xml file for you.

okay then , here you go

you didn't attached the ZIP .

why I can't attach it ?

Ok, My advice would be to take the xml file of the paypal payment method and to switch all "Paypal" word by your new payment method name.

I didn't notice that I compress it into .rar instead of .zip
haha
joomla can't read .rar compression?
anyway thanks for the support, although this is still holiday time
