The generated XML is validated against our predefined XSD scheme and built with our export library libflexport.

Extending the plugin

Sometimes you want to extend the default behavior of the base plugin. To archive that and still have the possibility to get the latest plugin updates, we've created an extension plugin. It already contains some code for extending the export logic, but you can also extend the plugin to override search logic or even the templates of filters, such as the category filter.

Autoloading

While composer autoloading is disabled by default, you can always enable it by adding the following line after the class definition in \FINDOLOGIC\ExtendFinSearch\ExtendFinSearch.

Upgrading

Most of the time we try to not break backwards compatibility while developing the main plugin. Breaking changes to the main plugin, which may break an extension, will only be released in major releases (1.x.x => 2.x.x) and a respective UPGRADE guide can be found on GitHub.
