A connector is basically a PHP file containing a PHP class with a set of methods. ConfigBox calls these methods (if they exist) and provide standardized data as parameter to perform various processes. This is done using the observer pattern. Depending on the nature of the task the system calls only the first connector or all connectors.

Example connector:

Joomla: /components/com_configbox/observers/Orders.php

Wordpress: /wp-content/plugins/configbox/app[application dir]/observers/Orders.php

How to manage connectors

...

Custom connectors are stored in this path:

Joomla: /components/com_configbox/data/customization[customization_folder]/custom_observers

Joomla: /wp-content/plugins/configbox/app/data/customization/custom_observers

Example:

Connector to react on an order’s status change

Add the method onConfigBoxSetStatus

function onConfigBoxAddToCart(&$cartDetails) { 
	
	//**
Add* your@param codeint for$orderId
processing* the@param cartint Details
  	
	// Set a value for redirectURL to redirect the user to a specific page

	$cartDetails->redirectURL = 'URL TO THIRD PARTY CART';

	// Return true to indicate that all went well
	return true;

}
