doodles Posted March 31, 2003 Share Posted March 31, 2003 Where would my host find the version number???? I did not download the shopping cart and I have no clue where to find it.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 31, 2003 Share Posted March 31, 2003 ask your web host - they should know, or they have no business offering it to their customers you can also look at the top of one of the files and you should see a creation date and potentially a version number and I am not watching this thread :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GlowHost Posted March 31, 2003 Share Posted March 31, 2003 We are the host. Many scripts contain a version number in the header, in the metas or in the head somewhere and almost all scripts have a current version number included in the admin panel. I see this nowhere in OS commerce. We constantly update to the latest version, however being a new script I am now digging through the files to see what version this user has. It is possible for ten users to have differnet versions depending on when they ran the installer. Might be a nice feature to add to OS commerce. ask your web host - they should know, or they have no business offering it to their customers you can also look at the top of one of the files and you should see a creation date and potentially a version number and I am not watching this thread :D If you have a useful reply I'd be happy to hear it.

Ajeh Posted March 31, 2003 Share Posted March 31, 2003 Usually, when you download the latest snapshot you have the file which is named via the date the snapshot was made. Another way to check that might work is peek inside the CVS folders and see what date the Entries folders are and the most recent you find will be the date you loaded. I might recommend that you also provide your customers with a copy of the original snapshot should they need it. As, often time you will. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 31, 2003 Share Posted March 31, 2003 As a client I would expect to get some support on scripts provided with my account. It is very frustrating for your client as well as the volunteers here when nobody knows anything. At least some instructions that yes, you can set it up and run it "as is" but any customization takes a bit of HTML knowledge, a good understanding of Cascading Style Sheets, and at least a basic understanding of php and mySql.

GlowHost Posted March 31, 2003 Share Posted March 31, 2003 FYI cpanel hosts this file is located: /usr/local/cpanel/addons/osCommerce open "catalog > changelog" this should reveal the version you are currently running. :shock: blah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted March 31, 2003 Share Posted March 31, 2003 Okay,.....this isn't the place to debate the merits of your host. Matt has provided the path to find the version of the script you are using and that was the neccessary information. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ajeh Posted March 31, 2003 Share Posted March 31, 2003 Glowhost ... as this is software that the customer will be customizing. I might suggest that you give them also a full copy of the zip/tar file that you are loading on their site. They need the files anyway to work on as php is not something you work on via Cpanel. This would then provide them with the exact date of what snapshot you loaded on a per site basis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
