Wordpress Auto-Update Plugins ? Should I build this?

I’m thinking of building a plugin that will auto-update all the plugins (yes… automatically ..haha). I will build this if I get enough requests.. but before you wordpress lovers say “YES, YES, YES!!” i want to point a few things out:

If the plugin will be made, it will only update all of the plugins, automatically after it checks for each installed plugins updates once every x minutes or hours or days…. IF and only IF a an administrator has logged in the wp-admin panel. So the script will only run once an administrator has logged in admin panel. (and i’m not entirely 100% sure if/how to make this work perfectly for each server)

Why?

- Because cron jobs might not work (at all or correctly) on all servers and hosts where wordpress is installed
- Because if i make it run each time a user loads a page then your site will load slower and your cpu will be used more once you have hight traffic(short: because it’s inefficient that way)
- Because HTTPRequest might not work for some servers

I’m thinking of opening a popup or another page as a sollution to where the script to update all the plugins is going to load withouth being disrupted…

Give me your thoughts please… Do you want this? would you make these compromises? Have any better ideas? (i just came up with the ideea in the last 24 hrs and found these solutions so far)

Auto FTP

CaptureYet another wordpress plugin, this time with some very necessary functionality. Auto FTP is a small but usefull plugin that helps users add their FTP information in the plugin FTP page so that information is no longer needed when upgrading or installing a theme or plugin.

All you need to do is install it, then go under Settings in Wp-admin and insert your host, user and password in the textboxes, then hit the update button.

All of your future installs will work automatically, no more will you be bugged by the ftp details page as long as Auto FTP is active and running.

Warning: if you don’t add your correct host, user and password, it will not work!
