I don't think that any plugins you purchase will work for v1.5 and lower. To use your plugin, you'll need to use v2.0. But I could be totally wrong about that.

There might be some problems downgrading from that but you can go to your config.txt file in your plugin folder, and grab the default JSON. Then you can go into the cPanel for your app, then create a screen with the custom-plugin screen. Slap in the JSON text into the textbox. Then you can add the plugin folder with the .h and .m files into your plugins folder. All that MIGHT work.

You just need the default JSON value, this is it: , "itemType":"Notepad_feature", "backgroundImageNameSmallDevice":"papernotes1.png", "backgroundImageScale":"fullScreen" Add this to the Custom-Plugin screen. Add this before the ending bracket and make sure it's valid JSON with the jsonlint.com tool.

Thank you. Now just to be sure if I was to load this custom plugin in an active 1.5 app it would not work yet because I need to add the plugin folder with the .h and .m files into your plugins folder. I would have to update the app with those .h and .m files already in it?

Yes, add the folder holding these two files. Put this folder into your BT_Plugins folder.

Not really, You could try copy/pasting the entire BT_config.txt file contents into a 2.0 project, but no clue if this will work and this assumes that all the plugins required are in the plugins folder.
