A library that allows you to deal with upgrades for your wordpress plugin, providing a visual feedback and useful for long actions.
I wrote a couple of plugins, but dealing with upgrades is a pain in the ass. Now all I have to do is add a new upgrade script every time a table (or some files) needs to be updated in conjunction with the code, and I'm all set.
I included a plugin as an example about how to use my code. You need to include the upgrader directory in it.
I wrote this plugin primarly for myself, but any contribution is very welcome.
Will it work if other plugins are using this library?
Yes, it is designed to work this way.
My features are not implemented in a plugin. Will it work?
Unfortunately, at the moment it's designed to wok only with plugins.
Where should I put the upgrader folder?
You can put it wherever you want to, as long as it stays inside your plugin directory and that you change the 'upgrader_path' argument when instantiating the UpgraderModel class (see example-plugin.php)
Do I have to extend the UpgraderModel to make it work?
No, you don't need to. But you need to instantiate it with the right parameters. Example:
$args = array(
'plugin' => __FILE__,
'files_version' => 1.0,
);
UpgraderManager::add_upgrader( new UpgraderModel( $args ) );
