That add on, I works perfect, with those who are free, but after I bought it, do not update.
Sorry my bad English

Just a suggestion, why just pop-up a login box whenever it is necessary to connect to xenforo.com rather than saving uname/pass unencrypted in database. Nice addon by the way.
You don't have to save the username or password in the database.
It's not possible to use XenForo.com as an external authentication handler, so we either need to type it directly into your admin CP and NOT choose to save it, or just save it unencrypted in your database.

Got it.
Nice free addon and fast support too. Thanks!

Nothing. It's fine. The upgrade completed successfully but the Upgrade system manages to attempt to run Cron entries when it is not supposed to. I think Mike is aware of this issue so it's likely to be fixed. But the good news is, if you see that error message, your upgrade finished successfully! Congrats!

Nevermind, sorry. I still had "$config['enableListeners'] = 0;" set within config.php. Maybe for next version, you may wish to handle this scenario a little more gracefully? I need to disable all add-ons separately, then globally activate add-ons before I can upgrade them.

Suggestion: Add a 4th option for Install/Upgrade, enabling you to point to a directory patch on your server where you have (ftp/scp) uploaded a bunch of add-ons (either .zip or unzipped in sub-folders) and all within will be actioned from there. Scenario: you upload add-ons to your server and install in dev environment for testing, and then once a week/month you will upgrade/install several add-ons, sort of like "patch tuesday" type of methodology. Since I'm already uploading on to the server for dev, then I don't need to upload again.
The directory tree would be like so ...
-> xf/
---> styles/
---> library/
---> add-ons/
------>completed/
---------> AddOnInstaller-1.0.0.zip
---------> Change Thread Starter 1.0.1.zip
------>todo/
---------> AddOnInstaller-1.1.0.zip
---------> addon-Waindigo_JoinUserGroup-1.1.2b.zip
---------> FoolBotHoneyPot_v2_2_13/
------------> upload/
------------> addon-FoolBotHoneyPot.xml
---------> GritterNotifications-1.6.2.zip
[ ... etc ...]
I would point the add-on installs location path at "add-ons/todo/" and it would process all within, moving them to "../completed/" when successfully completed

Hey @Chris Deeming, I'm trying to update the addon "Similar Threads" but I keep getting this error "The specified add-on is older than the install version. Downgrading is not possible."

I'm interested in installing this addon as I expect that it will make it easier to update all of my addons while upgrading to 1.2. I had an idea for how to mitigate some of the security implications of using either this addon or Waindigo's. I think others might find it helpful as well. Here's the link:

Feedback appreciated in that thread.

Am i right in thinking that this addon stores a copy of each mod installed, both zipped and unzipped in the addons folder within the install folder.
my forums are on a dedicated server but I recently got the message that my accounts were temporally auto suspended due to lack of hdd space and i couldn't understand what was taking up the space.
Am I ok to delete the contents of this addons folder as i presume everything will have been copied to the relative folders

Most things would be cleaned up automatically. But, sure, they can be manually deleted. It's just temporary storage while the files are copied to the right places.
I'd find it difficult to believe that it'd be enough to cause your disk space to run out.
Most add-ons are less than half 1MB, even if you've installed 100 add-ons, that would still only equate to about 50MB. Though they are zipped up so extracted maybe 100MB or so. And that's an exaggeration.
What was the total amount of space used in that directory?
