Description

On page with overview of installed plugins, there is version of currently installed plugin, which is ok.
My idea is to have simply one more column, where will be displayed lates version of plugin.
It can be done simply by accessign special Plugin's URL, on which plugin developer return latest plugin version.
If there is newer plugin version, table field should be green, or so.
Also, there can be for example 1x per week email with notification about possible plugin updates sent to redmine admin.

I've thought of something similar. Once my current commitments slowdown, I'll see what we can do for this.

It could be implemented as ... a plugin (a bit meta I admit). http://www.redmine.org/plugins would be a good basis for that but unfortunately it isn't widely used for now. An other solution would be to have plugins distributed as gems, but again, this is not a technical issue I think, more a "usage" one. Having the plugin tell itself how it can check its version wouldn't be a good solution imho (mainly security concerns)

If the list of plugins is long, the link ':label_check_for_updates' is not seen. I added following and before the table - it seems to me conveniently. If you think the same you may want to add it in plugins.html.erb.

<p><a href="#" id="check-for-updates"><%= l(:label_check_for_updates) %></a>

<% if @plugins.any? %>
<p><a href="#" id="check-for-updates"><%= l(:label_check_for_updates) %></a>
<table class="list plugins">
...

Would be great to have something like plugin_website_indetifier, because sometime plugin directory already has the same identifiers.

Ex. I have plugin redmine_contacts, but redmine_contacts already busy on redmine.org with another plugin and main called crm.

As this issue is still planned for v2.5.2 I'd like to point out issue #16794 to you as it seems that the plugin check doesn't always work as expected.
Probably someone can have a look... Thanks!

I started to develop something like this (https://github.com/alexbevi/redmine_plugin_updates) but the goal was to parse the version from the init.rb of a plugin on a public scm. As a core implementation will be much more useful than a plugin, I've abandoned my own effort, but it might be beneficial to have an option to check alternate sources for updates, as not all plugins are registered in the plugin directory.

Hi, thank you for your posting and above plugin. Since I've tried that I'll send some feedback if you don't mind:)

Thanks for this feature.

But in my environment, Firefox failed to get plugin information from redmine.org's api. I wonder if the cross domain limitation with ajax or not.
Chrome, Safari works fine.

You would be better to create a new issue. You can see examples.
