Ok, we now have an update checker plugin (for the public) and a versioning manager (for us).

How it works :-

am_update

This is a plugin for the user to install on his/her blog. The plugin adds a new tab to the tools tab and allows the user to login and check the versions all of their current am skins and plugins against the master version list on this server. The plugin will also list all other available plugins and skins.

am_manager

this is a plugin for ourselves and basically manages all of the versioning information that is returned to the update plugin. Once again there's a new tab on the tools menu which allows you to add/edit/delete skins/plugins information. It should be fairly self explanatory.

If we release the manager plugin to the public then it'll need a tad of an overhaul first, at the moment urls etc are pretty much hardcoded in. An alternative to releasing the manager is to offer developers the ability to add their own plugins/skins to our lists (and make them "update aware" ....ie. include the function/file required to work).

Anyway, have a play with it and if you break it, let me know how :p

Have fun
