LNKBOOT Updates: your module and theme updates in one place

One line per product: the installed version, the latest published version and the status. "Up to date", "Version 2.2.0 available" or "Security fix 2.1.1": you know at once what to do. Release notes are one click away, so you can read what changes before installing.

The check runs once a day at most. It starts in the background when you open the page, or through a scheduled task if you prefer. The back office never waits for it: the page shows the last known result.

One "Install version" button per module. LNKBOOT Updates checks the version's signature, downloads the file, verifies its checksum, backs up the current version, then runs the PrestaShop upgrade scripts. If one of them fails, the previous version is put back automatically and the module returns to its previous state. Images you uploaded into a module are kept from one version to the next.

A flaw in a module is the most common way into a PrestaShop shop. LNKBOOT Updates sorts the list to put security fixes above everything else, and flags them in red. These fixes remain available even after your update period ends: it is a commitment of our terms of sale.

PrestaShop Addons updates modules, but offers nothing for themes in the back office. With LNKBOOT Updates, the new version of your LNKBOOT theme appears on the same page as your modules, without having to look for it, including for a theme bought on PrestaShop Addons.

For a product bought on addons.lnkboot.fr, you enter the key received with your purchase once, in the LNK-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX format. Your shop's domain is registered automatically at the first check from your live shop. Your development copies (subdomains, localhost, .local, .test) are covered by the same license.

If an update cannot be offered, the page says why: license revoked, license registered for another domain, update period ended with a link to renew it.

A LNKBOOT module bought on PrestaShop Addons is updated by PrestaShop Addons, the official channel. LNKBOOT Updates recognizes it and stays out of it: it simply says so in the list. You never have two update sources for the same module.

Every version published on addons.lnkboot.fr carries an Ed25519 digital signature, created with a key that is not on the download server. LNKBOOT Updates checks this signature on top of the file's checksum. Even if our download server were compromised, it could not pass off a modified file as a genuine version. The check also works on hosting without the PHP sodium extension, common with cPanel hosts.

From PrestaShop 1.7.6 to PrestaShop 9, with each generation's native page: the classic back office on 1.7 and 8, a Symfony page on 9. The module is tested for every version in our integration matrix, from PHP 7.2 to PHP 8.4.

Figures measured on the shipped module, compressed with gzip (level 9). On the shop's front office: nothing, no CSS, no JavaScript, no hook. In the back office, on the module page only: 1.4 KB of JavaScript and 0.8 KB of CSS, without jQuery. The page makes no network call while it is displayed: the check runs in the background, once a day at most.
