Update Check and flexcontent_update.xml

George,

We want all current users to see the update notice in the FC dashboard.

I was testing the update check on some older versions and on the latest preRC build you just posted.

Some older versions will look for the update XML file here:
www.flexicontent.org/flexicontent_update.xml

That XML file still had 1.5.4 until I changed it today.
I changed it to 1.5.5 just to confirm the old version of FC was looking at that file.
It is.

And the v1.5.5 (r600) on FC.org is looking there too.

So we will need to update both of the XML file locations.

I did notice the the latest version is looking here:
flexicontent.googlecode.com/files/latest_j15.xml
so that one will also have to be updated.
Updated by you as I do not have access to that one.

In the code there is still
update.flexicontent.org/flexicontent_update.xml
which probably should be
www.flexicontent.org/flexicontent_update.xml

And
update.flexicontent.org
is in the code in a couple places.
Looks like those are a part of what was going to be an automatic upgrade feature.
Not sure what if anything needs to be done with those.


My biggest concern is that the version check works for all versions out there.

So I can update
www.flexicontent.org/flexicontent_update.xml
when 1.5.6-stable is released.

And you can update
flexicontent.googlecode.com/files/latest_j15.xml
when 1.5.6-stable is released.


Where is the best place for the flexicontent_update.xml file in the future?

mmm i did it for 2 reasons:
1. I had no access to change the old file:
www.flexicontent.org/flexicontent_update.xml

2. The file inside google downloads (marked as deprecated downloads) was to be used for beta versions

in final version of FC v1.5.6/v2.0, i will change code to use:
www.flexicontent.org/flexicontent_update.xml
now i have access to change it

:D
