Addon Update Notifier Xenforo

Addon Update Notifier Xenforo 1.1.8 Patch Level 1

  • Author Author kashif
  • Creation date Creation date
  • Some add-ons (unclear which, but only seems to have affected some forums) apparently have some magical addon.json format that broke the collection of add-ons for checking.
  • This fixed version checks that the specific addon.json values are strings (as they should be) before trying to use them, to ensure that it doesn't crash
  • Previous version checked for exact add-on url, which doesn't work in case an add-on has changed URL (title)
  • New version checks with the slug id so it is still matching correct add-on when a developer changes their add-on name
  • Note: This is a backend change, meaning: there is no new package to install
  • Since XF2.3 the pages have <time>-elements with slightly different markup to denote timestamps.
  • Our backend is now updated to correctly read the timestamp for add-on updates
Show buttons for download/changelog in the notice on top of the add-ons page:

  • Basically a fix to hide the "update available" info and buttons for add-ons that are disabled.
  • By default (since this update) the download button has been set to download directly from xenforo.com if possible. This release adds the option to prefer downloading from developer's own site if it exists.
Since it was requested by a few customers to allow more add-ons, we decided to add 2 new tiers..

If you currently have e.g. 60 extra add-ons and choose to upgrade to 120 extra, the remaining days on your current license will be prorated, e.g. 50 days remaining on license @ 60 extra add-ons becomes 25 days remainings @ 120 add-ons + 1 year from that date.
