How validate the version of a module addons?

[AnvarStudios]

Good afternoon,

 

We are developing a module for WHMCS, Latam payu support, you can see in http://www.anvarstudios.co/labs

 

We are upgrading the code and adding new features.

 

We are planning to add the option verify that the module installed the latest version of it, but not how to start doing this.

 

Ideally, when entering the module configuration this option, ud is the XXX version is installed last or otherwise say that there is a new update.

 

As you can do this.

Personally i would go for XML. Let's say that you have module A, module B and module C and that you want to add "latest version check" support. Inside all your modules add a function to load an XML that is accessible to you. This is the structure that i use.

 

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<moduleA>
<releaselatest>1.0.0</releaselatest>
<releasetype>Stable</releasetype>
<releasecritical>no</releasecritical>
<releasedescription>Update me... lazy man!</releasedescription>
<releaselink>http://yourawesomesite.com/release-page</releaselink>
</moduleA>
<moduleB>
<releaselatest>2.0.</releaselatest>
<releasetype>Beta</releasetype>
<releasecritical>yes</releasecritical>
<releasedescription>Added support for airflow</releasedescription>
<releaselink>http://yourawesomesite.com/release-page</releaselink>
</moduleB>
<moduleC>
<releaselatest>1.0.0</releaselatest>
<releasetype>Stable</releasetype>
<releasecritical>yes</releasecritical>
<releasedescription>Experimental release. With this you can send signals to Mars</releasedescription>
<releaselink>http://yourawesomesite.com/release-page</releaselink>
</moduleC>

 

With this not only i can show the user that he's running an outdated version but also display a popup with short description and link to read full details.

# Perform Transaction Here & Generate $results Array, eg:
