-====== How Plugins Interact with Extend ====== 
- 
-With GetSimple 3.1, plugins will check "​home"​ periodically to see if there is an update available within the Extend repository. The steps needed to ensure your plugin is compatible are minimal: 
- 
-**The zip file you upload into Extend should be in this structure:​** 
-<​code>​ 
-yourplugin.zip 
-  /​yourplugin.php [this should be a unique across all plugins] 
-  /​yourplugin/​ [any folder(s) that your plugin may utilize] 
-</​code>​ 
-The most important part of that file structure is the ''/​yourplugin.php''​ file. This name should be unique across all plugins within Extend. We will not enforce this, but if you create a plugin with a generic and/or common name and a second developer does the same thing - your plugin will potentially not be compatible with this new update system. 
- 
-**HINT:** In order to see if your plugin is in the correct format, [[plugins:​extend_api|test it here]].
