Question How detect wich kunena version is running ?

There is a smiple php way to detect wich kunena version is running ?
I'm interested on distinguish the 1.5 from 1.6

Hello,

You have two ways :

-You can read in the database in the table jos_kunena_version by taking the most recent entries
-Read the xml file which is generally in administrator/components/com_kunena/ and extract the version

Ipotize that we choose the table option
if i run the 1.5.* the tablename is jos_fb_version
if i run the 1.6.* the tablename is jos_junena_version
so checking what table name exist i can detect the current kunena running version
but if i upgrade from 1.5.* to 1.6.*
if i'm not wrong the table name is jos_fb_version ? is correct ??

For the xml manifest option
i've tryied the upgrade from the previuos 1.5.* to the 1.6.*
the update goes wrong cause of my old PHP version,
but the manifest xml file was changend like
so i think that a more robust way is table do you agree?

i'm trying to develop a joomla system plugin that will be able to work for both Kunena version...

Yes table is more reliable, you need to have two checks one for k1.5 and one another for k1.6

something like this snippet of code

thanks
