Version check in IPB 2.3.x

Featured Replies

Posted

I upgraded to IPB 2.3.2 today, but after I finished my upgrade, it seems that the "New Version Available" still shows in IPB 2.3.2 on the Dashboard.

Bug? or kinda of an oops?

Yes it is a bug, (which has been reported 4 times at the time of writing this, i am sure it is part of a plot to drive brandon over the edge).

The fix is in the first report :)

And.. The file is not included in the 2.3.1 to 2.3.2 upgrade pack, so you'd have to manually change it in your init.php if you use the upgrade pack.

LOL, I bet Brandon will go insane tomorrow at this rate. :whistle:

At the risk of breaking Brandon's head...would this issue have anything to do with the fact that I just upgraded my development Forums (with the upgrade-only package) and the version at the bottom of the screen still reads 2.3.1?

if this is the case, can I just copy over the init.php from the full package to fix this lniggling little issue?

Yes.. You don't even need to copy the file.. Just edit init.php and find

/**
* Version numbers
*
* @since 2.0.0.2005-01-01
*/
define ( 'IPBVERSION', '2.3.1' );
define ( 'IPB_LONG_VERSION', '23004' );

Change it to

/**
* Version numbers
*
* @since 2.0.0.2005-01-01
*/
define ( 'IPBVERSION', '2.3.2' );
define ( 'IPB_LONG_VERSION', '23005' );



Done

Changing / editing init.php helps, however, in the Admin it's still displaying "New Version is available".
Also, the version number doesn't change in the Copyright section of the forum forum footer.

Gah. It's also in the full package.

Please disregard my post. There was a cache issue. The init.php edit works fine.

And if you have any problem about the number of the version do not hesitate to ask.

Like this problem: "The number of the version was not changed".

This is a known issue. So you may re-download the full 2.2.3 download, and upload the file "init.php" over your current one. This will update the version number.

Thanks a lot.

The issue is also in the full download pack not just the upgrade pack, so copying over the init.php from there wouldn't do any good.

3,000 posts :lol:

This will be addressed through the bug report. ;)
