Adding an extension to the LimeStore

First, you have to be approved as a LimeStore extension vendor. See above.

The extension has to be zipped correctly, with a proper config.xml file. See below.

config.xml specification

All LimeSurvey extensions include a config.xml file with specifies author, version, type, and so on. Without this file, LimeSurvey won't be able to properly install the extension.
