Settings seems to not be applied

[Tepee-me]

With final version 3.7 of wordpress just out, when I check "Permit Automatic Updates? ", and save the modifications, the option stay unselected after refresh.
And as I have choose "Permit Automatic Plugin Updates?", after refresh, it becomes gray.
It seems that options are not active. I have still 2 plugins waiting updating.

I believe some of the filters may have changed names since I originally wrote this. Just merged a pull from @chipbennett, about to test and confirm.

I have tested his proposal.
Settings stay selected, so it seems OK for the remaining of the settings (I chose UP for plugins)...
For working automatic updating, I don't really know if settings are effective, because I don't have outdated plug-ins at the moment...
About that, do you know if there is a mail sent to the admin when automatic updating have been automaticly done for a plug-in ?

[chipbennett]

Yes, the automatic update process does send an email following an update attempt of any type. The filter is 'auto_core_update_send_email'

Refer to Nacin's definitive post on automatic updates for more information.

Maybe it could be a good idea to propose this option too ?

[Tepee-me]

Maybe it wouldn't be really necessary...

Let me take a look. It would be pretty easy to add. I'm thinking a global "enable emails", and then dependent options for each update type (core, theme, plugin, translation).

Going to be a bit trickier than I had hoped. It would be easy to filter by result type (success, failure, critical), but I think what would be useful would be to filter by update offer type (core, plugin, theme, translation). Trying to dig into the $core_update object to figure out the best way to accomplish that.

A only one selection "Receive summary email about automatic update performed" would be enough ?

A only one selection "Receive summary email about automatic update performed" would be enough ?

I've already got that added to my dev environment. Just trying to make it better. :)

[chipbennett]

Okay, so after looking further, it appears that emails are only sent for core updates. So, a single option it is.

[Tepee-me]

It is a shame that we wouldn't be aware about plugin or themes updating...

Closing for now, since there's nothing more we can do at the moment.
