.. ================================================== .. FOR YOUR INFORMATION .. -------------------------------------------------- .. -*- coding: utf-8 -*- with BOM. .. include:: ../Includes.txt .. _installation: Installation ------------ This extension does nothing all by itself. Connectors must be developed for specific third-party applications. However this extension must be installed since it provides the base class from which all connector services inherit. .. _installation-updating-340: Updating to 3.4.0 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ The :ref:`sample configuration files ` have been changed to JSON format to easily allow for nested properties. If you have developed your own service and have defined a sample configuration file, you will need to change it to the new format. As always look at other existing connector services for examples (in particular, the "svconnector_json" extension which uses nested properties). Also a new method was introduced as part of the :ref:`Connector Sevice API `: `checkConfiguration()` is expected to parse the connector configuration and return errors, warnings or notices as needed.
