When you're in the Product Manager - in the Dropdown bar that has Export, Uninstall, Disable, etc... there's a Version Check option.

this shall be a great addon for all the modifications/products installed on forums..

The system has been updated to add two new options ;

../misc.php?do=producthelp&pid=xxxxxx
../misc.php?do=productcheck&pid=xxxxxx

The first does a product/thread lookup and then performs a re-direct to the appropriate thread.

The second does a product/thread lookup and then performs a version check based on the productid.

The original version check remains untouched.

These two new options allow you to add the urls to a product without needing to know the threadid at vb.org.

As a result, the product id in our database needs to be unique, so when entering/updating the productid in the mod edit screen, a duplicate check is performed, if a duplicate is detected an error screen is displayed.

Nice update. Thanks.

anyway the hack authors can get this information printed in the thread somewhere?

I don't understand the question, please explain what you mean.

everytime i want this info i have to come to this thread, i'd rather just be able to copy and paste it from within the actual release thread.

I've added the information to an annoucement in the 3.6 section.

Nice. Thanks Paul M

Any plans to have a list of the product id's used to avoid potential conflicts?
