widget versioning

How can I make that, when updating the widget, it is updated for all users who use the?

[render]

Hi,

When publishing new widget you can select that the widget is "Replace existing widget".

Then existing users of the old version get white arrow icon on right-bottom corner of the widget on their dashboard. That means that newer version of your widget exists and it can be upgraded by selection Options->Widget->Upgrade.

Currently there is no way for developer to force new version for all users.

How about the settings are stored for each user? They remain?

If I remember correct when publishing you can choose between minor/major upgrade.

Major upgrade re-evaluated parameters (when there are changes between parameter-value linking and/or choice-values) and lost current parameter values, while Minor upgrade saved old parameter values.

So for example, if you have parameter with multiple choices: A, B and C. User had selected "C". Then you change widget so that option choices for that same parameters were: D, E and F. ; You would have to do Major-upgrade.

Hope this works for your case,

Actually you can inform the user about a new version.

I've placed a syndication feed with the newest version number on my site.

My widget fetches this feed at every start and compares the value from the feed with the hard coded value in the widget.

If new version is available the widget informs the user to remove and readd the widget to get the new version.


Cheers
