Product ID in New Modification Thread

[Digital Jedi]

A little confused here. I'm taking over a modification from another developer, and I'm running into a problem setting my version check URL. Thread check works fine:

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/misc.php?...omediaembed257

And version check works if I navigate to it directly:

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/misc.php?...omediaembed257

But the Version Check string ends up being wrong: plugin.php?do=productversioncheck&productid=autome diaembed&s=


I read, after the fact, that in the XML, productid="automediaembed" would need to be the Product ID. Duh. I see that now. Where I got confused was I used the previous version of the product I'm working on as a reference. The productid is "automediaembed", but the version and version check strings are all automediaembed257. And they work fine. Am I missing something?

AFAIK the product names need to be unique so you cant upload two versions of product_automediaembed your product would have to be product_automediaembed257 in all respects, does this help https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/announcement.php?f=245&a=40

Which makes total sense to me. But how is it the previous modification doesn't do that, yet both URL checks in the version work fine?

I dont have that mod so can't tell, it's possible the author changed the product but kept the version check the same (or vice versa).
