[Phpwebsite-developers] Updating 0.9.x

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

Something I forgot to mention was how you can let people know you have a
module update.

Go here:
http://phpwebsite.appstate.edu/updates/calendar/

There are two files, only one of which is required.

Open update.txt

There are three variables using double colons to separate the data

download
---------------
Put the address of where people can download your latest tarball.
You can put multiple address here if you like:

Example
download::phpwebsite.appstate.edu/updates/calendar/cal.tar.gz
download::mirror.phpwebsite.com/updates/calendar/cal.tar.gz

Or if you wanted, you could just enter the address your download page and
not the tarball itself. It is your choice.

version
------------------
The latest version of your module. This is what Boost checks to to see if
the module should be downloaded.



information
--------------------
A web address to your information page. In this example, I just created an
information file and left it in the same directory. Eventually we will
probably have separate pages for each module or even different web sites
for each developer. Who knows. Anyway, link to module information here.


That is all. You can see how this works by getting CVS and laying it on
top of RC3 (after using repair and updating boost and core). Click the
"Check for Update" button next to calendar.

Later
Matt
