Topic: Displayed version of PunBB wrong

I grabbed punbb-1.2.11.tar.bz2 and installed it. But the footer shows "Powered by PunBB 1.2.10" and the version check in the admin area shows the same. When I click on "Check for upgrade" I am told that there is a new version available.
But it must be 1.2.11 because the patches which were integrated in 1.2.10 to make it 1.2.11 are there (IP flooding).

is this just a small glitch which I can fix? I have users who are looking for such things. sad

You probably only upgraded your files and didn't run the update script right? Download the Version changer plugin and change the version manually.

I did not upgrade anything. As I wrote, I downloaded the 1.2.11 tarball and installed it. It's a fresh installation, no upgrade.

Re: Displayed version of PunBB wrong

wobo,

That's odd, cause the install.php in the tar.bz2 says:

// The PunBB version this script installs
$punbb_version = '1.2.11';

Re: Displayed version of PunBB wrong

Ah, then I know the culprit! Thanks for pointing me into the right direction.
As you may know from my poor English: I am a German. So I used the German installer, offered on the German PunBB site. It's advertized as "German installer for 1.2.11" but it really is the 1.2.10 installer - which seems to work for 1.2.11 as well except for the version number.

I wiped the fresh installation and used the original install.php and now I have 1.2.11 written all over the place. smile
