{{FeaturePageBody | |||
|Feature open issues and risks=* limited number of localized plugincheck pages may make it difficult for users to understand feature | |||
* increased traffic to plugincheck may affect performance; needs assessment | |||
* string changes require l10n work | |||
|Feature overview=Add a link and descriptive text for the [https://www.mozilla.com/en-US/plugincheck plugincheck service] to the "Plugins" section of the Addons Manager. Until there is plugincheck functionality in Firefox proper, this will provide users with a simple method to determine if their plugins are up-to-date. | |||
|Feature users and use cases=* similar to checking for extension updates, users should be able to check their plugins. currently AOM only provides installed version information, and it'd be great to provide users with a resource to check if their plugins are up-to-date. | |||
==== Goals ==== | |||
* Provide a one-click link to the web service which allows a user to check if their installed plugins are up-to-date | |||
* Redirect users to the plugin check if they select "check for updates" from the settings drop-down while on the Plugins page of the Addon Manager | |||
|Feature requirements=* <strike>UI design from UX</strike> | |||
* Localize strings for use with descriptive text | |||
* Add link to AMO dialog on the plugins page | |||
* (Optionally) link to plugincheck from "check for updates" menu item when plugins page is selected | |||
|Feature non-goals=* Integration of plugincheck into AOM | |||
* Linking to third-party plugin sites from AOM | |||
|Feature ux design=* [[Image:Link to aom in manager.png|254x172px|Mockup]] | |||
|Feature qa review=*Target URL validates to our plugin checker web page | |||
*Link is only visible in the plugins list view | |||
*<strike>Link is only visible if plugins are enabled</strike> | |||
*Link can be localized and also works in RTL builds | |||
|Feature implementation notes===== Next Steps & Open Issues ==== | |||
* define descriptive text for link | |||
* <strike>mockups of UI for plugin check</strike> | |||
* impact assessment of non-localized version(s) of plugincheck | |||
* ask l10n teams for feedback and/or translations of strings | |||
* assign development, add link to product | |||
* QA & l10n signoff | |||
