Questions About Version Numbers Of PHPNuke

Posted: Thu Aug 05, 2004 12:35 pm

since the ability to check version numbers pertaining to PHPNuke has been removed from the stastics module how do we now check and verify what we have.

Is there a hack or module that would only let admins know what there release version is

darksied,

I am not sure about a hack or a module, but the version number is listed in the nuke_config table of the database. If I remember right, it is the LAST entry in this section. Of course this would require using phpMyAdmin and examining the database.

Maybe Raven or the gang knows of a module or something that would pull this version number from the database.

Save the following to a file, name it something like version.php and upload it to the same place where mainfile.php is, just point your browser to it.

Code:

<?php


include("mainfile.php");


global $db, $prefix, $admin;


if (is_admin($admin)) {


$sql = "SELECT config_value


   FROM ".$prefix."_bbconfig


   WHERE config_name = 'version'";


if (!($result = $db->sql_query($sql)))


{


   die("Couldn't obtain forum version info");


}





$result = $db->sql_query($sql);


$row = $db->sql_fetchrow($result);





$sql2 = "SELECT Version_Num


   FROM ".$prefix."_config";


if (!($result = $db->sql_query($sql2)))


{


   die("Couldn't obtain nuke version info");


}





$result2 = $db->sql_query($sql2);


$row2 = $db->sql_fetchrow($result2);


include("header.php");


OpenTable();


                echo "<center><b>Version Check</b></center>";


CloseTable();


                echo "<br><br>";


OpenTable2();


                echo "<center>Your Current <b>BBtoNuke</b> version is <b>2" . $row['config_value'] . "</b> And your <b>PHP-Nuke</b> version is <b>" . $row2['Version_Num'] . "</b></center>";


CloseTable2();


include("footer.php");


} else {


    echo "Access Denied";


}





?>

chatserv,

Was I correct about the location? I am at work, and have no access to my cPanel, so I was going from memory (which isn't that good)
