Of course you can. You just need a webhost to keep the latest version of the plugin and sockets module.

Why? You are unable to search? You need to create a code that fits your needs, there's no "universal" code.

If you can't code then forget about this.

I think easiest way would be through mysql. But it doesn't matter, because you`re not the one who should add this to the plugins you own. The guys who wrote them should.

Best way would be to get file attributes from an ftp/http and if a new file is discovered, automatically update it. I created a plugin which I never released that does this for plugins posted in an AMX-X thread. Only drawback is it only works on plugins that do not use any 3rd party include files since the web compiler cannot compile custom includes.

OP, if your plugin is published here with no 3rd party/custom includes I can give this to you.

I did something like this before(working with any plugin from alliedmodders), but it is not reliable, there are too many variables. For example plugins with custom includes, plugin with custom resources, plugin requiring 3rd party modules etc.
Or even worse, the new version has additional requirements than the previous one and if the plugin does not take that into account the server is most likely to crash.

Just imagine if we could write an auto updater that does everything by itself and works in every case.
