Reference
I keep having to refer to this so I'm saving it here. How to convert joomla XML installer file from 1.5 to 1.6/1.7:
replace "<params>" with "<config><fields name="params"><fieldset name="basic" label="basic">"
replace "<params*?>" with "<config><fields name="params"><fieldset name="basic">"
replace "</params>" with "</fieldset></fields></config>"
replace "<param " with "<field "
replace "</param>" with </field>"
replace "<install " with "<extension "
replace "</install>" with "</extension>"
Change the "extension" node to add the following attributes:
- Keep the existing "type" attribute
- version="1.6.0"
- client="site"
- method="upgrade"
Example for a module:
<extension type="module" version="1.6.0" client="site" method="upgrade">
