For admins: you must create and host a JSON config file for your end-users. A sample file is provided from the Options page.

Please note the following when building your JSON config file:

• In the SEARCHMENU section, the "searchURL" must have %s somewhere in the URL. This will be replaced by the user's search text when the add-on is in use.
• In the CATEGORYMENU section, each category must match a category item from a site in the ALLSITES section.
• In the ALLSITES section, please not that the site key field must all be the same case; either all upper case or all lower case. Do not mix case in the key field as this is the field used to sort the sites in the add-on.
• The "icon" attribute can use either a Metro Icon Font (MIF), or any URL accessible image file (.ico, .gif, .jpg, .png, etc...).
  Image files should be stored on the same web server as your JSON config file.MIF icons can include both bg and fg colour specifications. The default is white.
