Customer Portal Updates Overview #
The DMSI Update Server extension adds three new pages to the DMSI-DDLS customer portal.
What This Extension Adds #
Core DMSI-DDLS provides a customer portal where customers manage licenses, activations, subscriptions, and file downloads. With DMSI Update Server, an "Updates" section is added to the portal containing three pages: Available Updates, Download History, and Notification Preferences. These let customers monitor and control their software updates without contacting you.
The Three New Portal Pages #
| Page | URL | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Available Updates | /license-portal/updates/available-updates | See which products have updates available and download them |
| Download History | /license-portal/updates/download-history | View a log of all update downloads for their licenses |
| Notification Preferences | /license-portal/updates/notification-preferences | Control email notifications and release channel preference |
The URL prefix /license-portal/ depends on your portal slug setting (configurable in DDLS > Settings > Portal).
Customer Authentication #
Customers must be logged in to access these portal pages. The pages automatically detect which licenses belong to the logged-in customer.
Shortcodes (Legacy) #
For themes or pages that use shortcodes instead of the portal integration, three shortcodes are available:
| Shortcode | Equivalent Page |
|---|---|
| Available Updates |
| Download History |
| (Returns empty — included in the main updates page) |
