Can I get just the current EE version and build number via RSS?
Development and Programming
Leevi - Interesting that now that 1.6.3 is out, the entries on my licenses page that are at 1.6.2 aren’t glowing red like they should be. Is this because EllisLab hasn’t updated the file from which the plugin gets its information?
Ha, yep, I just checked eeversion.txt and it still says 1.6.2. OK, nevermind, then!
I’m using the latest version of this on a new site, and the build isn’t being output - but the version is working perfectly. Plugin is working great on a previous site (which is PHP 4, for the record) but on this new site(which is on PHP 5, if that helps), I’m not getting the build.
Looking at the plugin again (its been a while) it seems you need to be logged in to expressionengine.com to retrieve the build.
Hmm, that’s not cool. Wonder why it isn’t an easy thing to just get the current build like you can with the version.
The build is stored behind a https:// protocol. Thats the only place I could find it.
Newism, in the support thread about not getting the build number, Derek comments that you can use the Magpie class to get the build number “rather easlily”(see his comment here).
Is there a reason the LG Latest EE Plugin doesn’t appear to use the built-in magpie class to get the build? I’m failing to get the build 100% of the time, which means this plugin is only half working! :-)
I let this set for a while and am just now getting back to it. Still not able to get the build. I even started a new thread about it. I know this is a trivial thing, but I just have to get this to work.
Anyone with any info - I’d appreciate hearing it!
