Upgrade code for modules

[musicmaster]

Hi,

 

I am busy with a module that should NOT be on Addons and I wonder what is the best way to let users know that there is an upgrade available and also how I can achieve one click upgrades.

You could perhaps have your module check an external webpage (your own) whether there is an update, using the need_instance field in your module's constructor (display a warning/info field if there is, or something similar).

 

One click upgrades might be more tricky, especially since you are not connected over Addons.

So many people building modules - also outside Addons. And still not a common code that is shared? Disappointing!
