Administrative and Maintenance Tools - 'Check Version' for all hacks

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 ...).

still works for me. The mods which give an error, it's a problem with the check version url. Try checking the version with vB and it gives an error as well.

Same here, but it is only happening for one mod on my site. If I run the version check link manually in the browser for this one mod, it shows the version number fine.

i also get about 3 errors on all mods installed,and it looks that the errors all 3 come from "image" mods.

Sorry, sir, I just saw this. Yes, it seems to show "Error" when I use the built-in one. Sorry for the confusion.

Hi,
Just installed it on 4.1.5 pl 1 works fi9 but in some of them i get error and when i try to do it manually it still shows error which is as follows.

Version check failed. No version number was found at this location. The URL for the version check may be incorrect, or the server may be experiencing problems. Please try again later.
