#1476: WordPress Update Notification
----------------------------+-----------------------------------------------
Reporter: mdawaffe | Owner: rob1n
Type: enhancement | Status: assigned
Priority: normal | Milestone: 2.3
Component: Administration | Version: 2.1
Severity: normal | Resolution:
Keywords: update upgrade |
----------------------------+-----------------------------------------------
Changes (by rob1n):
* status: new => assigned
Comment:
A "script."
* WP: Load Dashboard, makes AJAX call to rpc.wordpress.org (or whatever).
Could be run through another local PHP file to cache it in the DB, but I
don't think it's needed. The request has GET or POST variables (probably
GET) such as current, which has the current version.
* RPC: Compare $_GET['current'] with the current version, most likely
using PHP's version_compare() (if we do the RPC in PHP). If it's fine,
then return an XML response with <status>0</status> or something. If it's
not up to date, then <status>1</status> <latest>2.3.1</latest>
<type>critical/major/minor</type>.
* WP: Use JS magic to parse the XML response (I know this is doable
somehow). Based on what's returned, show an i18ned message in the
Dashboard alerting the user to such, and provide a download link to
http://wp.org/latest.tar.gz and http://wp.org/latest.zip
I'll work on this in the next few days.
