How to use

This plugin allows you to install Joomla extensions by AJAX, on the same website where this plugin is installed.

You must call this plugin by this URL: index.php?option=com_ajax&plugin=digiinstaller&format=json, sending needed data by POST method.

In the AJAX call, these two variables should be passed:

• Extension Name variable should contain the system name of the extension to install (for example "mod_digi_showcase").
• Extension URL variable should contain the URL where to download the extension to install.

Below an example code to make the AJAX call using jQuery.

• MY_BUTTON should be replaced with the identifier of the element to trigger the function.
• EXTENSION_NAME should be replaced with the system name of the extension.
• EXTENSION_URL should be replaced with the URL where to download the extension to install.

jQuery(document).ready(function() {

 jQuery("MY_BUTTON").click(function(e) {

  e.preventDefault();

  var extensionName = "EXTENSION_NAME";
  var extensionUrl = "EXTENSION_URL";
  var scriptUrl = "index.php?option=com_ajax&plugin=digiinstaller&format=json";
  var message = "";

   jQuery.ajax({
    type: "POST",
    url: scriptUrl,
    data: { name: extensionName, url: extensionUrl },
    success: function(data) { message = data["data"]; }
   });

 });

});
