[Phpwebsite-developers] Notification / Upgrade Module

[Matthew M. <ma...@tu...>]

Greetings,

We had talked briefly about Jagee's plans on updating. For those of you
who missed it, basically we would be kind of like RedHat (click to check
for updates, recommend what to update, notes on changes, etc.).

We had also talked about registering with the module via the normal user
authorization.

Something else I thought of today looking at all the setup hacks. We could
also have the module perform notifications to registered users. So was
something like a security problem we could:

o Send an email to all the registered users telling them to upgrade.
o Have a top priority message base-side that phpWebSite could check for
important messages (like Hubit, but narrow in scope). It could signal the
admin on login to update their site. Even if that admin didn't have
upgrade rights, they could inform someone who does.

Ideas?
