- hurik's mod update the list once a day - my mod update the list on each load (maybe I'll change that to per hour update to make the page load faster)
- It should add a list to admincp home? I tried install this one to check and I didn't see any block.. using 4.1.10
Anyway, there are many duplicates mods in vb.org, but each one built diffrently and contain other advantages.
Mine mod advantages over hurik's mod is that my mod doesn't require upload files and my mod doesn't make db changes.
hurik's mod have also advantages over mine mod, with his mod you can get email update.

His mod also sends an email for the updated mods.
Nothing will show in the admin cp unless there are updates with his mod. No need to have a box or anything show if there are no updates.
I'll stick with his as it only runs via cron once a day which is more than enough. Checking on every page load will slow things down way too much especially if there are a lot of products.
Good work on yours, though, as I'm sure there are those that will use it.
