XF 2.2 correcting file checksum errors

[Tom McIntyre]

I look at the admin control panel several time a day and I like to see a clean problem reporting area.

If an addon has a checksum error it seems like a lot of work to rebuild the addon to fix the checksum file.

I wish there were a way to just generate the new checksum for the offending files and update the json file.

You can go to the addon directory and delete hashes.json file to disable file health check for a specific addon.

Why does the add-on have a checksum error?

It takes seconds to build a new hashes file.

In one case I modified the file which is from a no longer supported addon. In the other two cases the files were recently upgraded and the developer was too busy to fix it.

I do not know how to recompute the checksums. I guessed one had to be in development mode.

I just went to the three addons in File Manager and made it xhashes.json.
