Ping Server
The ping server(ping.zen-cart.com) is an endpoint that allows for a call home from within Zen Cart admin.
It will notify a shop owner if a new release is available.
You need to have login access to https://ping.zen-cart.com/dashboard
and then access the versions
menu.
We can then create a new release.
For a full release we only need to edit
- versionMajor
- versionMajor
- versionDetail
- versionDownloadURI
versionMajor
Currently this will always be 1.
versionMinor
e.g. 5.7.d
versionDetail
A brief description of the new release.
versionDownloadURI
Generally a link to the release announcement. e.g. https://www.zen-cart.com/showthread.php?228675-Zen-Cart-v1-5-7d-released!!
