PostNuke Version ID Standard Proposed

Contributed by Anonymous on Jul 22, 2001 - 03:45 PM

Of these three, $Version_Num is a direct take-over from the original PHPNuke variable (which always contained the regular version number), while $Version_ID and $Version_Sub were added. These variables serve to provide additional information 'slices' to developers.







While these variables, and this method can be used to recognize version number, ID, and sub-release IDs of PostNuke, we would like to open the use of these variables up to the wider *Nuke community of forks, derivatives, and, of course, the original PHP-Nuke.







We invite all such projects to adopt and integrate this variable and versioning structure, in order to make life easier on those developing add-ons for the ever growing family of *Nuke-based weblogs. Even if you are part of a project that no longer includes a config.php file, create one, containing just those three variables.


Widespread adoption of this will hopefully aid and assist our friends in the burgeoning modules and add-on developer community, as well as help make modules and add-ons available and accessible to the widest range of systems, and their users.
