Add-on Install & Upgrade 1.4.3

[Xon]

@Chris D

my update checker is showing a 1 next to it but in the entire list of add ones I don't see any upgrade buttons. is there a log that this add ones keeps? or somewhere in the mysql DB can look for via phpMyAdmin to locate what add-one the update checker is seeing an update for.

This should be fixed in the next version; v1.3.4.

Note; this version also implements (optional) semantic version comparison. So it should also stop offering older updates if you happen to have a new version locally.

That is very welcome.

Any help for that?

The add-on stores a copy of uploaded files there, and it is critical to allow it to split the install process into multiple steps (upload/extract/deploy/install xml).

You need to ensure the user the website runs as has write access to that location.

Not sure if it's me but I am noticing trouble with getting the file upload prompt to come up when clicking "Choose Files." It works when I disable the addon and use XenForo's stock one.

I'm sure this has been asked / suggested before --- but ---

It would be great if addons on sites other then XF could be upgraded via this --- (assuming they are using RM)

There should be nothing special about this button - it should just work. It's a standard HTML5 multiple files button.

That said, which browser and OS are you using and do you get a different behaviour in a different browser?

Chris D updated Add-on Install & Upgrade with a new update entry:

Bug fixes and improvements

Another set of improvements by @Xon. Thanks Xon!

• Fix issue where count of add-ons requiring updates vs list of add-ons requiring updates could get out of sync
• Optional semantic version comparison, so if a newer version is installed locally it is not considered requiring an update.

thank you for that update, went from 10 to 4, lol.

thank you for that update, went from 10 to 4, lol.

I ended up implementing it because my development environment had 15-20 add-ons (out of ~100) which had a newer version than what I had publically released

My live site(s) only had about 5-10 add-ons with non-public versions

Don't know how you find time either, Chris.

I can't take the credit for anything in the last few releases, apart from posting the update

Without known the exact browser, patch level or security mode, it is hard to debug that. Are there any console errors or events?

Have you tried completely restarting your browser (killing it if it doesn't shutdown cleanly)? This fixes a surprising number of issues.

A site moved to a new server without ZendOpcache installed.
Now I can't disable "Fetch public templates as files" options on Performance section.

Fatal error: Call to undefined function opcache_reset() in /library/AddOnInstaller/XenForo/Model/AddOn.php on line 194

 

[Chris D]

You're likely not running the latest version, then. This was fixed some time ago, I believe.

 

[rdn]

Yes.
Updating the addon now.

Installed and enabled Addon. Tried installing Post Ratings thereafter and get this error:

Zend OPcache API is restricted by "restrict_api" configuration directive

[Chris D]

This is down to a specific configuration you have enabled which prevents the OPcache API from being accessed outside of a certain path.

We could attempt to detect this in the future and act accordingly or even just suppress such a warning entirely, but right now all I can suggest is reviewing that configuration and adjusting it to an appropriate path or setting it to its default of "".

I didn't set anything. I'm on Rackspace Cloud Sites. What should I tell them to adjust?

 

[Chris D]

Tell them you have a PHP script that runs in the location <your xf path>/library/AddOnInstaller/Model/XenForo/AddOn.php that needs to call opcache_reset(); but you're getting the following warning being emitted:

Zend OPcache API is restricted by "restrict_api" configuration directive

Ask them to either adjust or disable the restrict_api configuration for the OPcache.
