##Installation ###1. Activate plugins in phpList Change the config-parameter for plugin folder in /config/config.php.

Example of definition in config-file:

define("PLUGIN_ROOTDIR","/var/www/yoursite.com/plugins");

Paths can be relative or absolute. The default plugins folder is in public_html/lists/admin/plugins, and the relative path to that file is plugins.

###2. Move the plugin files Move the directory containing this readme file into your master plugins folder, defined above. PHPList will automatically detect the individual plugins within the subdirectories. This plugin contains two sub-plugins; the rest plugin itself and also a plugin for testing rest functionality. Both should be automatically detected and appear in the plugin manager.

Example of destination:

/var/www/yoursite.com/plugins

###3. Log in Log in to /admin and the collapsed "Plugins" menu should have two links added: "RESTAPI" and "Test RESTAPI".

Click on the item "RESTAPI" item for more information!
