Product Version Checking

[Paul M]

vbulletin 3.6 has the facility to specify a version checking url in a products settings which allows admins to compare the version number they have installed with the latest version number defined by the Author.

The facility to use this system to check the version number of any modification released at vbulletin.org has now been added.

To enable this for your modifications you need to do the following ;

1. Edit the mods details to add the product id (a new field).

2. Make sure your version number is correct.

3. Add the version checking url to your product.

The version check url you specify is ;

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/misc.php?do=checkversion&t=121884

Where 121884 is the threadid of your modification.

Paul M,

I just tried to add to your Reputation but discovered that it's disabled here.

This facility is also planned to be upgraded in the near future to allow checking by the product id rather than the thread id, and also the facility for a help url (by product id) that will redirect to the modifications thread. These will allow the urls to be added to a product when the threadid is not yet known.
