How to know which Drupal version am I running?

By EnekoAlonso-1 on 22 Mar 2006 at 22:48 UTC

I know it sounds kind of stupid, but I think it would be great to show the current drupal version installed on the admin panel. I haven't find this version value in any part of the code nor database field.

Also it would be great to have a "suggestions" section in the forum, or something like that (I haven't found it either).

Thanks everybody for this great job.

I concur

Some people are working on this*. In the mean time, consult Changelog.txt.

* I'm not in the mood to search for the thread.

FYI, the current version number can be found in the CHANGELOG.txt in the root of your drupal installation.

I agree, however, that a "control-panel" indication of version would be helpful.

systeminfo.module for your pain

Its not stupid question/expectation its rather essential feature
and there is a cure - systeminfo.module

showing current installed version and a bit more...
it works with Drupal 4.7.x (that means 1st check your current version info on your CHANGELOG.txt if its 4.7plus)

changelog.txt

Well, my problem is I didn't put those txt files on the server, because I thought they weren't needed, and also I didn't want anyone to read them (maybe htacess takes care of this, but).

So without changelog.txt there is no way to know the drupal version, right?

Have to read those text files

You can try something like here http://drupal.org/node/52229 but it's not so foolproof.

Already have the

feature requests. You file it against the issue tracker of the Drupal project as a feature.

It would get lost in the forums.
