Question

Currently, in order to get the installer for the latest version of FogBugz, I have to do this:

• click on the "A newer version of FogBugz is available." link which takes me to the "Newer Version Available" page
• click on the "Fog Creek Online Store:"
• go find my order number
• log into the "Manage Your Orders" page
• click the "Download the latest version" link
• click the "Download FogBugz x.x.x for X" link

If I'm logged into FogBugz, you know I am a licensed user, so couldn't you just add another link to the new version notification that lets me download it? For example:

A newer version of FogBugz is available. Click here to download installer. (Dismiss this message)

Until FogBugz adds that feature, you can fake this functionality by using the following bugmonkey script (for logged in admins):

(function() {
    var newer = $("span.messageBar:contains(A newer version of FogBugz)");
    if (!newer.length) return;

    var email = "YOUR EMAIL HERE";
    var orderNumber = "YOUR ORDER NUMBER HERE";
    var msg = "Click <a>here</a> to download the installer.";

    newer
    .html(newer.html().replace("available.", "available.  " + msg))
    .find("a:not([src])")
    .attr("href", "javascript:void(0)")
    .click(function() {
        var div = $("<div>").css("display", "none").appendTo("body");

        var frm = $("<form>").attr({
            method: "POST",
            // target: "_blank", // Uncomment if it should open in a new window 
            action: "https://shop.fogcreek.com/FogBugz/status.asp"
        }).appendTo(div);

        var data = {
            sEmail: email,
            ixOrderNum: orderNumber,
            cmd: "cmdListOrders"
        };
        for (var name in data)
            $("<input>").attr("name", name).val(data[name]).appendTo(frm);

        frm.submit();
    });
})();

This simulates you filling out and submitting the order lookup form; clicking the link will send you straight to the download page. (It's not the actual download link, but it's pretty close.)

Warning: If you don't say the script is for logged in admins only, then you'll be exposing your email/password to any users that the script is available to.
