'Check Version' for all hacks

1 Attachment(s)

Description:
With this hack you can easily check all installed products for updates, it show it directly in the product manager and with one click it checks all hacks for updates.
The information is updated every night per cron job and when you want it can inform you with an admin message or an email, you can also de/activate the notification for each hack individually.

This version should work with vBulletin:
3.6.X
3.7.X
3.8.X approved
4.X.X approved

Thanks go to Andreas for his improvements and ideas.

The screenshots are from a german vbulletin.

FAQ:
Why it doesn't check the newest version on each load?
Because it would take to long until the page would load. And I'm to lazy to make an async check (Too much to change ...).

It shows an error with the hack X. Can you correct this?
No, that is a fault of the hack author. He/She made an error in the version check url. My hacl has only an error if the build in version check show something different then mine (that in the drop down box ...).

thats not a problem of THIS hack. it's a problem of the hacs which have an error. the version check url is not right. send the authors a pm that they can correct this.

I get this error when I updated:

Code:

Content Encoding Error 



The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because it uses an invalid or unsupported form of compression.



    *   Please contact the website owners to inform them of this problem.

Now whenever I go to the plugins page I get that error.

Running Vb 4.1.0 pl2

Any ideas what to do?

edit: I disabled plugins under Options and disabled this mod until I'm told what the problem may be
