f(x) Updater - WP Theme and Plugin Updater #84

Open turtlepod opened 7 years ago

turtlepod commented 7 years ago

Hi all, It seems that this project is no longer updated/maintain for over 2 years?

I create a similar project: f(x) Updater: https://genbumedia.com/plugins/fx-updater/ The feature is still limited, but I use it on daily basis.

GitHub Repo: https://github.com/turtlepod/fx-updater/

It's not a PHP script, but a WordPress plugin, so you can use your own site as update server for your private/premium themes and plugins. You can create a "theme repo" and "plugin repo" entry, just like creating post. You can also create a "group" taxonomy term, and use it to update multiple theme/plugin in a single updater plugin.

So it's not using external site as update server (like Github) but using your own WP install/site. But if you host your project on github (public repo), you can use github zip URL as download file url. (basically kinda stealing bandwidth from github)

I highly recommend you check the screenshot to get ideas how this plugin works.

thanks. I hope this plugin is useful.
