If the version is above 7.5 then you can get the version number byviewing the HTML source code for any of the pages in the forum, and inthe comment in the page header it will have the version number.

Also, in versions form 7.5 in the admin menu the check for updates option will have the forum number.

If it is an older version, open the common.asp file in the main forum files and have a look at the part that reads:-

Const strVersion =

This variable holds the version number.

Isn't there another way of getting WWF version number? I'd like to check out version number for my potential customer (using WWF) and point them out to security problems with their version - and they have said to me to find version number myself.
 
I don't want to post their URL here and you have on your forum entry webpage that private e-mail will not be answered. So what to do (private message on this forum)?
 
I agree that forum hides version number but do not agree this is proper help for security engineers like I am - and you don't have procedure of getting version number in your documentation. What will registered WWF owners (no version number displayed on WWF) do when their webmaster leaves and new one must take place and start supporting and maintaining software etc?
 
Thanks,

dear -boRg-,

thx for helping me out; when i'll find a bit of time i'm gone update our forum; it's working perfect for the moment, but all try to keep it up to date; it's used on a intranet as a (growing) knowlegdbase on tax maters

groetjes,

Bebo

It all depends what version you are upgrading from, but most upgradesdo have changes to the language files that need to be replaced.

If you have translated language files check there are no updates, ifnot the new parts of the language file are appended to the end so youcould use a text editor to copy and paste the new parts across.

when using the Access version 7.x and you want to upgrade to the newest version, do you need to replace ALL the files? or can I leave the language files untuched?]]> Thu, 17 Jun 2004 16:50:38 +0000 https://forums.webwiz.net/i-would-like-to-upgrade-but_topic9843_post59888.html#59888 <![CDATA[I would like to upgrade but : If you are using the Access version...]]> https://forums.webwiz.net/i-would-like-to-upgrade-but_topic9843_post53484.html#53484 Author: WebWiz-Bruce

If you are using the Access version (you didn't say!!) then you justneed to replace the files with the latest version keeping your databaseintact.

If you are using the SQL server version then you need to searh throughthe forum for upgrade posts that I have posted about what storedprocedures need to be changed.

If you give me a URL link to your forum I should be able to tell what version you are running.

But as this site only opened on the 3rd sep 2001 I guess that the dateyou gave is incorrect or you are using a forum from a different site asthe database was never called forum4096.mdb unless you changed the nameyourself. But a link to your forum would clear up this problem.

If it is a version that old, I would like a copy myself as I have lostall the backups I made of the old versions of the forum software.

Assumind it is version 4.x it would mean it is a fairly old version. An upgrade process would be very manual intensive, manually moving topics, users etc. I can be done but not without knowledge of programming.]]> Sun, 15 Feb 2004 22:11:30 +0000 https://forums.webwiz.net/i-would-like-to-upgrade-but_topic9843_post53014.html#53014
