        <title>Module: Check Modules for Upgrades</title>
        <description> This module will check all Phorum 5.2 modules for upgrades and list their status.

This module installs like any other module.  Once enabled you will see update links next to any module on the module page which has a newer version available. You can also set the module to display a list of modules with newer versions on the index page for forum admin only.

Please note: The current list of modules on the Phorum site only updates once daily.  If you install the latest version of a module before the listing is updated, you will see the previous version incorrectly listed as an update.

One question for the Phorum devs.  A number of the modules that are installed by default do not have a link on the list of 5.2 modules.  Am I correct in assuming that any upgrades to these modules will only be available in future upgrades of Phorum?  Or do you ever post upgraded versions to the forum?  For now, I am simply ignoring the pre-installed modules when checking for upgrades

Finally, I want to say a big thank you to the Phorum devs for creating the automatically updating list of modules.  This made it very easy to create my module, one that I tried to implement in 5.1 but couldn&amp;#039;t find an easy way of doing so.</description>

You just saw the &quot;Notification: Updated module info for module ...&quot;. Surely because of the updated core modules.<br />

            <description><![CDATA[ All modules are up-to-date and latest in our phorum installation.

<br />
Your module shows an available update for Online Users offering an older version as update because in that thread there are multiple versions of that module. Please have a look at [<a href="http://www.phorum.org/phorum5/read.php?62,126368,144703,page=8#msg-144703" target="_blank" >www.phorum.org</a>]<br />

<br />
My module is not number specific simply because I wanted to give developers the freedom to set any version they wanted, be it 1.1.1 or A.A.A or 1.1-alpha, etc.  My module, perhaps somewhat simplisticly, only looks at differences.  If the info.txt on your server says version 1.1-LZT and the one on the Phorum website says 1.1, my module will flag.  This makes the basic assumption that the version on the Phorum site is <b>always</b> the newer version.  Thus for fellow developers this can be a bit misleading.  My module page often show modules I am working on as out of sync (ie. while I was working on v5.2.1.01 of my Admin Security Module, it showed there was a newer v5.2.1.00 version available, which of course is the older version.  I hope this answers your first question.  If you see a better way of doing this, I am always open to suggestions.<br />
<br />
<blockquote class="bbcode"><div><small>Quote<br /></small><strong>Oliver Riesen</strong><br />
In your old version the module itself reported &quot;Incompatible Module&quot; for your module. Is this check is now  working (since new version doesn&#039;t show &quot;Incompatible Module&quot; any longer)?</div></blockquote>
<br />
No, my module is still strangely incompatible with itself :)  I&#039;ve been waiting a few days, trying new things, to get this site to recognize my mod and add it to the list.  I guess I should just ask the Phorum devs what specifically has to be in a mods zip file for it to be recognized (for example this mod no longer uses a settings.php file, so is it not recognized because of that?)  Anyways, in v5.2.1.04 I removed the &quot;Incompatible Module&quot; flag as I thought it would clutter up the module list page.  Your thoughts on this are also welcome.<br />
<br />
Did that clear everything up?]]></description>

            <title>Module: Check Modules for Upgrades v5.2.1.04 - Status displayed directly on the modules page</title>

            <description><![CDATA[ I have completed v5.2.1.04 of the mod with this change:<br />
<br />
- Recoded the mod to display upgrade availability directly on the modules page in the admin section.  The settings.php file has been removed as it is no longer necessary.<br />
<br />
I was sitting on what I like to call the think tank (sorry if that&#039;s too much information) when it suddenly dawned on me that I could use the admin_pre hook and my ever growing appreciation for the javascript element controls to get the module upgrade statuses to display on the modules list page itself.  Now I think I can let this mod rest.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[ There are already some hooks in the admin interface. The Virtual Hosting module makes use of those already. But not everything is &quot;hooked&quot; in the admin. I think that this would not require a hook though, since it would be much nicer to support this directly from the core.<br />
<br />
Additionally, we have been playing with the idea of an admin rewrite a few times. I think that such rewrite would be a better initiator for starting to add extra hooks to the admin, because the current admin interface has grown without the idea of modules in mind, which might turn into hackish results.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[ I have finished v5.2.1.02 with this change (which should fix or report on your problem mshell)<br />
<br />
- Fixed the same bug with better code suggested by Maurice Makaay.  The new code will also catch connection errors and report them.<br />
<br />
The file above contains the latest version.<br />
<br />
Thanks for the suggestion Maurice, it works like a charm.<br />
<br />
Also, glad to hear you are thinking of including this type of thing.  Has there been any thought to adding hooks in the admin sections?  A hook in the module page would allow this module to do that work.]]></description>

I installed this on my phorum. When I click the &quot;settings&quot; link, I get a blank page. <br />

            <description><![CDATA[ No hounds on this one. In fact, I already have been thinking about that kind of functionality too, as part of a large module admin page overhhaul. With the module list in place, it has become a lot easier indeed. I&#039;d rather have a server side list that is more straight forward to parse and would contain more info (e.g. the require_version from info.txt which might render a new version unusable for the active Phorum version), but the basic principle is the same.<br />
<br />
I&#039;d like to suggest the use of include/api/http_get.php. This one tries to fetch http pages using several methods, in order to make it work on as many systems as possible. You now use curl, but curl is not a standard PHP feature. Some example usage:<br />
<pre class="bbcode">
include(&#039;./include/api/http_get.php&#039;);
$content = phorum_api_http_get($url);
if ($content === NULL) {
    $error = phorum_api_strerror();
    .... do error handling ....
} else {
    .... do data processing ....
}
</pre>]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[ I have finished v5.2.1.01 with this change:<br />
- Fixed a bug which would cause the module to fail when looking for updates if your servers &quot;allow_url_fopen&quot; setting was off.<br />
<br />
The file above contains the latest version.<br />
<br />
This update was prompted after I forced my test phorum to run on PHP 5 and found that my web host had turned off the &quot;allow_url_fopen&quot; setting for PHP 5 only.  Frustrating, but necessity is the mother of invention and I&#039;m glad I found this problem now rather than later.<br />
<br />
Thanks for the confirmation on the pre-installed modules.  One other question: Would the phorum devs ever consider building this function into the core admin page?  With your new module listing it is pretty easy to automate and I don&#039;t think it would have too big of an impact on your servers, especially if set to only check every X hours, not every time it is opened (new item for my todo list regardless).  I certainly wouldn&#039;t mind having my module deprecated to see this functionality included in the core.  I do, however, know what kind of bloated-core dictatorship you have going on, so I wouldn&#039;t be to offended if you cried havoc and let loose your hounds of war on me for suggesting this.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[ Oh, so now I&#039;m the villain eh?! ;-)<br />
<br />
The new BBcode code is in the 5.3 development tree as the default module already. When upgrading to 5.3 in the future, the new BBcode module will be used. I did release a BBcode module package to try in 5.2, but that&#039;s mostly for getting bug reports from the brave people that dare to install that new code on their servers. When the module is ready for release, we will put it in 5.2 and the users will automatically get it in their next Phorum upgrade. That is the normal release pattern as you guessed correctly.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[ This module will check all Phorum 5.2 modules for upgrades and list their status.<br />
<br />
This module installs like any other module.  Once enabled you will see update links next to any module on the module page which has a newer version available. You can also set the module to display a list of modules with newer versions on the index page for forum admin only.<br />
<br />
Please note: The current list of modules on the Phorum site only updates once daily.  If you install the latest version of a module before the listing is updated, you will see the previous version incorrectly listed as an update.<br />
<br />
One question for the Phorum devs.  A number of the modules that are installed by default do not have a link on the list of 5.2 modules.  Am I correct in assuming that any upgrades to these modules will only be available in future upgrades of Phorum?  Or do you ever post upgraded versions to the forum?  For now, I am simply ignoring the pre-installed modules when checking for upgrades<br />
<br />
Finally, I want to say a big thank you to the Phorum devs for creating the automatically updating list of modules.  This made it very easy to create my module, one that I tried to implement in 5.1 but couldn&#039;t find an easy way of doing so.]]></description>
