Check for new official version

[admin]

I uploaded a file version.php that just contains the current official version. Hence you can now use a script like this to check:

Code: Select all

$ver = readurl("http://www.xyplorer.com/version.php");
  if (compare($ver, <xyver>, "v") == 1) {
    msg "There is a new official version ($ver) available for download!";
  }

And where would I put this nice script? I am not familiar with scripting in XYplorer.

I'm just thinking about adding a command switch /cfu=1, no scripting needed. I guess that would be easier?

All good stuff though... I didn't even see the ReadURL script command before now.

This script seams to do nothing for me,
since my used build 9.70.002 is newer than the official version 9.70.000
so i see nothing after executing the script.

So i added an 'else' to not confuse the user:

Code: Select all

$ver = readurl("http://www.xyplorer.com/version.php");
  if (compare($ver, <xyver>, "v") == 1) {
    msg "There is a new official version ($ver) available for download!";
  } else {msg "Official version ($ver). Your version <xyver> is current";}
