Can Vanilla Team Approve Auto-Update Addon?

aery

This discussion is related to the Auto Upgrade addon.

This is one of the most basic feature that I would like vanilla to have. It simplifies to many things.

Now, since its available from a another developer (thanks dude, we really need this), I would request vanilla team to approve it so others can use with blind-eye and trust.

Okay I will take a look. Looks like it might be a busy weekend ;p

Do you have 100% confidence that this plugin won't screw up your installation?

x00

it is beta is has barely got anything in it yet.

My opinion : First we try it out and then, after a while, we can approve it.

Just because it's unapproved at the moment, it still can be used. Just let the daredevils use it first.

My two cents. I am ok with it not being approved, but i want ppl to use it and help make it better. I know the function right now is not complex, but it makes upgrading a bit easier. I have used this on 5 installs without issue and I know upgrading is one area that many people were looking for a solution. I had put this project on hold hoping an official plugin would be here already, but maybe the community can help me finally make this the plugin we all wanted.

So,

Can the daredevils try this and let us know there experience?

PS: @x00 Can the plugins pass db or passwords information to thirdparty? Can they be malicious and vulnerable for vanilla?

@aery the code is open for you to see. No maliciousness on my side. I welcome anyone's comment/code improvement ;)

UnderDog

@adriansonline thanks for the plugin man, I forgot to thank you :-) I'll be one of the first daredevils

adriansonline

thanks @UnderDog, no worries. Love any help to make it better as well :)

Please upgrade to latest version. Not sure if there is a bug in Vanilla not notifying of version change.

It's worse, I enabled so many plugins that I'm getting something not worth mentioning ;-) I'll figure it out (daredevil mode) and let you know in this thread.

@underdog Are you saying the upgrade made things worse? It's working on this end...

No, those things I PM-ed to you are some improvements I suggest. Also I recommend improving the backup script. The plugin is OK though :-)

@adriansonline have you had any feed back recently? have you implemented any of Underdog's suggestions? I would love to use this plugin as my last upgrade attempt was a disaster and I lack the confidence to attempt it again.
