<translate>
<!--T:4-->
If you edit your extension listing on JED you will see two new fields.
</translate> 

<translate>
<!--T:5-->
The first is '''Download Type''', where you can select the download type for your extension from the four provided options:
# None
# Free Direct Download Link:
# Free but Registration Required at Link:
# Commercial Purchase Required at Link:
</translate>

<translate>
<!--T:6-->
The second field is '''Download/registration/purchase URL''' and can contain one of the following URL:
# A zip URL E.g. http://www.example.com/updates/com_extension_v9.9.zip
# A update XML URL E.g. http://www.example.com/updates/extension_update.xml

'''Please note''': the caching on the server for the "Install from Web" feature is set for 2-6 hours and so you probably won't see your changes right away in the Joomla backend.

<!--T:8-->
If your extension is a free direct download link then all your work is done and you can ignore the second step.

<!--T:9-->
Here's some more detail on the download type.
</translate>

<translate>
=== None === <!--T:10-->
This the most common case today, and it basically means that you can't or don't want to provide a direct install URL for your extension. Only JED mandatory fields are filled, and "Install from Web" fields remain empty. 

<!--T:11-->
When a user goes into his/her backend and click on the "Install from Web" tab, your extension can be found, the "Download" button is shown but there's no "Install" button.
</translate> 

<translate>
=== Free Direct Download Link === <!--T:12-->
This is the option to choose if your extension is freely available, without registration or purchase. On the "Download/registration/purchase URL" you should put the URL of the update XML or directly the URL of the zip file.

<!--T:13-->
When a user goes into his/her backend and click on the "Install from Web" tab, your extension can be found and the "Install" button appears, so the user can just click to install your extension.
</translate>

<translate>
=== Free but Registration Required at Link === <!--T:14-->
This is the option to choose if your extension requires registration to be downloaded. On the "Download/registration/purchase URL" you should put the URL of your site '''Registration Page'''.
</translate>

<translate>
<!--T:15-->
When a user goes into his/her backend and click on the "Install from Web" tab, your extension can be found and the "Install" button appears; when the user click on the install button, he/she will be redirected to the registration page on your site.

<!--T:16-->
When you setup your site correctly (see Step 2 below) after successful registration the user will be redirected back to his/her site to complete the web install.
</translate>

<translate>
=== Commercial Purchase Required at Link === <!--T:17-->
This is the option to choose if your extension requires a purchase to be downloaded. On the "Download/registration/purchase URL" you should put the URL of your extension '''Purchase Page'''.
</translate>

<translate>
<!--T:18-->
When a user goes into his/her backend and click on the "Install from Web" tab, your extension can be found and the "Install" button appears; when the user click on the install button, he/she will be redirected to the purchase page on your site.

<!--T:19-->
When you setup your site correctly (see Step 2 below) after successful puchase the user will be redirected back to his/her site to complete the web install.

[What about subscription? Is that more similar to "registration-based" or to "commercial-based"?]
