My problem appears NOT to be related to the add-on. For some reason the recent change I made to the fastcgi buffer was working - but decided to take a dump on itself. Once I removed the buffers it went back to working.

Great news. As I said before, it looked like there were a number of different problems going on, so glad we managed to sort them all out!

Has anyone used this to upgrade their site yet?

I'm scarrrrreeeddddd.

Did you turn off listeners in config.php before you upgraded with this?

I always manually upgrade... but if you turn off listeners, wouldn't it effect the add-on also?

 

[DRE]

You're right. Duh... lol I just woke up. but yeah I wanna upgrade with it at least once to test it out. I might do it on one of my local installations.

@DRE, you will need listeners enabled to get this to work.

All this add-on does is download the zip file and extract it. If it doesn't work or there is an error, all you will need to do is download it and extract it manually (which is what you would have to do anyway). There is nothing else that could go wrong. The add-on doesn't make any changes to the database or anything like that.

Where did that little blinking "don't forget to rate" star icon come from? Is that new in Xenforo 1.2? I just noticed it here on this resource page for this addon.

It looks like it is an animated GIF file added into the description with a link to rate it.

That's a good little attention grabber for the resource area to remind people.

That is our graphic that we added.

Yep, I noticed the same thing yesterday when I installed xenFoogle Pro on one of my sites.

What do you think about this feature:

what about providing a callback before the addon installation where the addon coder can define the xml and data paths?

e.g. like this pseudocode
addoninstallercallback.php
if xenforo_version < 1.1.2


another great addition would be a batch process to install dozen addons at once, this could even be enhanced to some sort of composer alternative (e.g. addon X requires addon Y... before addon X is being installed, addon Y will be isntalled automatically, if the zip url is available.

e.g.

$config = array(
'dependencies' => array(
array(addon_id => foo, min_version_id => 11111, 'fetch_url' => ..),
array(addon_id => tms)
)


with this one would just need to create a "my addons basispackage" with the commands file (including the dependencies and urls) and everything would be installed automatically

If I understand you correctly, this feature was added in 1.2. My suggestion is here:

I like the idea.

@Waindigo Do you think we could be able to install more than one addon(s) at once?

I have considered it, but since XenForo 1.2 introduced the ability for add-ons to redirect after installing an add-on, this would now be very difficult to do properly without causing potential problems.

This means, the "addon dependencies" wouldn't work too, right?:/
