Version Manager ComponentModule

The Version Manager allows your to manage software versions to list them on your site. Your visitors will be able to check the version history on your site. You can include a "Check for latest version" feature into your distributed software, so the users of that software can at any time check for a newer version of the software. VirtueMart, joomlaXplorer and Letterman are using this version check.

This is a very good component to manage versions! I have some suggestions:

1. This component orders versions based on the Version Number entered by user, but if I entered a non-numerical character for version number, it also accepted. I think this field should ONLY allow numerical and decimal value.

2. the RSS content for links shows unreadable symbols for description text, I mean, it may not support UTF-8 encoding.

3. When input the URL, if no http:// , then the frontend will show as http://yourdomain/VERSIONMANAGER-URL. Could you please make it to work no matter the user entered http:// or not?

Thanks.

Sometimes the simplest tools are best. This one does everything it's supposed to and more.

One feature I'd like to see added is the ability to select categories alphabetically. Currently it's only doing it by catid, which means that newly added categories are always at the bottom of the page.

A great utility, just what I was looking for. For best results you just need an easier way of identifying the CatID for each software product, but it does everything it says it does. I had it up and running in minutes and this is definitely a must have for software developers! Thanks Soeren!
