This morning I pushed version 1.1 of my VZ Url fieldtype for Brandon Kelly’s FieldFrame extension up to GitHub. The code for this version completely rewritten to (hopefully!) eliminate some issues with ajax calls returning in the wrong order, leading to false negatives. While I was at it, I made the errors display in a pop-up box, allowing for more verbose errors without breaking the layout.
There is also one significant new feature. Previously, if the entered url was redirected to another site (i.e. http://google.com, which redirects to http://www.google.com) it would be displayed as an error. Now, a more helpful message is show, with the option to update to the new url.
Update: I have since updated VZ Url to version 2, which supports Expression Engine 1.6+ and 2.0+.
You can get the full details on VZ Url from my original post or download it from GitHub.

Hey Eli, love the extension. It seems your versions_xml_url for the LG Addon Updater is incorrect, it gives me a 404.

Rob- You’re right! I had a typo in the url. LG Addon Updater has never worked for me anyway (for either my own or any other extensions), so I didn’t notice that it really wasn’t working this time. Thanks to letting me know.

Do you have an 2.x version in development?

Steven- I actually released a 2.0-compatible version a few months ago. You can get it from the GitHub link above. I just added a note to the this post to make that clear.
