Hi Alan,<br><br>We are interested in learning about the auto updates for the extension. You can give it a try. <br><br>Keep us posted.<br><br>Regards,<br>Prasad<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 4/14/10, <b class="gmail_sendername">Alan Lord (News)</b> <<a href="mailto:alanslists@gmail.com">alanslists@gmail.com</a>> wrote:</span><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
Hi all,<br> <br> Can someone from vtiger just comment on something please?<br> <br> I am considering adding automatic updates to the Thunderbird 3 extension.<br> <br> The way the Mozilla code deals with auto-updates<br> (<a href="https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Extension_Versioning,_Update_and_Compatibility#Automatic_Add-on_Update_Checking">https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Extension_Versioning,_Update_and_Compatibility#Automatic_Add-on_Update_Checking</a>)<br>
means we need a little more control of the destination URL that the<br> extension checks than is available through the regular forge or CRM<br> Extension web interfaces.<br> <br> Fortunately, ssh access to forge project accounts and their web<br>
(htdocs/) directory appear to be about perfect.<br> <br> So, I want to check that there are no plans to remove or change this<br> facility in the near future and that it is OK to use for this purpose?<br> <br> From my initial readings, it appears as though we'll will only need to<br>
store a single XML file which gets updated with each release at this<br> location. We can point to *any* URL to retrieve the actual upgraded<br> extension file with each update.<br> <br> Cheers<br> <br> Al<br> <br><br> --<br>
