Many thanks for this Beat - looks like a great deal of work has gone into this update.

How do we instal this update - can we just load it via the CB plugin Manager - Install New Plugin? Do we need to uninstal anything first?

Will all current records be preserved?

Any files overwritten that we should be aware of (language file perhaps?)?

I believe all of this is address in the new documentation which you can download (and should study).

The quick answer - but you still should study the documentation - is that if you are on a J15 environment, then you need to upgrade to CB 1.3 first as CB 1.3 is needed for CBSubs 1.1.

After the CB 1.3 upgrade you just install over your existing CBSubs install using CB Installer for CB plugins and Joomla installer for Joomla module and Joomla plugin.

No parameters will be lost.

If you have modified the default language files (which you shouldn't) you will lose the modifications you made. Language changes should be done with new language plugin installation and not by hacking the default language files included in CBSubs.

Yes, this is great! But I'd like to see more payment gateways integration into this.

We can't add every gateway every user requests. Not all of them are up to our API and/or security standards. We've a ticket to keep track of user requested gateways. I've already added SecurePay to that list. Please note the list does not guarantee implementation.

Is this possible?

At this time, no.

API not released yet for this?

API documentation is not yet complete or released, sorry.
