Config.xml for 1.5 and 1.6

Post by hidabe » Sun Dec 19, 2010 9:42 am

Ok... i know, xml format for component preferences has been changed :(

I think that the new format is better, but... how can i do this file compatible with 1.5 and 1.6? I don't want to have to do two different components, is there any way to do it?

Thanks and regards!

yupp.. in Joomla 1.6 <params> and <param> tags are deprecated, use <fields>, <fieldsets> and <field> instead
