Re: [drupal-support] How can I tell what version I'm running?
Enforcing this onto users might be inappropriate. Some people may not WANT it publicly displayed. I believe this could also be negative in the event of security issues. If your site displays "running drupal 4.6.1" publicly, you could easily be the target of that exploit that did the rounds a while ago. Regards, Kobus

Thanks,

Try reading the changelog.txt in the base directory of your drupal install -- the changelog will stop at your version.
Hope this helps.
Bill.

Kobus, I agree with you 100% on all points. I never want anyone to know what software I am running for just that issue. Now if someone is a good friend. I will happily recommend Drupal. Again it was just a suggestion for the here and now. I think this should be shown in the admin only. On Aug 2, 2005, at 3:14 AM, Kobus Myburgh wrote:

Can you people please take this discussion to the drupal issues (with patches) or at least to the drupal-devel ML. This certainly does nnot belong in support. And besides that, its useless and pointless here, for it will not be seen by the proper people (developers) And (I don't want to sound rude or anything) tak is silver, code is gold. This issue will not be fixed with endless debates, but a piece of code might. But above all, Adrian has worked uot a complete plan. Why not help him, instead of developing a theory that will lmost probably never be implemented? Regards, Bèr -- [ Bèr Kessels | Drupal services www.webschuur.com ]
