(5.0.8) Update Check URL field is missing from Theme Settings

By The Old Man

  • Status: Cannot Reproduce

The Update Check URL field is missing in IC5. There seems to be no version field either come to that, but in an exported theme has a long version and a reference to update check.

<theme name="My theme (IC5)" author_name="" author_url="" version="" long_version="5000805" update_check="">

Assuming the long version is auto updated, please could you add the version check url back again to save manually editing the XML each time, assuming IC5 uses the field?

Many thanks!

    I see this when editing a theme, you also get asked for this information when downloading a theme.

    Just to note, these fields are only visible if you have IN_DEV enabled, the same as version 4.

    Hi @Stuart Silvester

    Thank you,

    No, I wasn't using IN_DEV mode, just in Theme Designer's Mode like normal.

    In IPS4, those fields show when editing a theme's settings in Theme Designer's Mode, like in your screenshot, but I didn't need to install the DevTools and go into actual IN_DEV mode:

    However in IC5, they don't show.

    Customisation > Theme > then enable Theme Designer Mode:

    Then click Edit on the theme:

    It looks identical to when you haven't enabled Theme Designer Mode:

    Many thanks.

    You would indeed need to switch on developer in v5

    Confirmed this workaround works. I was abled to get access to those settings with DevTools In_Dev mode enabled and the exported XML file contains the settings.
