calling a value

got a quick question.... in the forums footer theres {PHPBB_VERSION} which I'm assuming is pose to a call to get version number? anyway how would be the best way to call the config_value from database or the version number whichever its called?

Here's how I do it... Cool

Code:

$sql = "SELECT config_value FROM " . $prefix . "_bbconfig WHERE config_name = 'version'";


$result = $db->sql_query($sql);


$phpBB_Version = $db->sql_fetchrow($result);

where are these set?, they really need updated rather than leaving the old code in there, any ideas to where {PHPBB_VERSION} and {ADMIN_LINK} are actually at?
i'm looking and dont see em Smile

The version was removed from the main Forums page, it is now in the Forums admin panel
It is assigned in modules/Forums/page_footer_admin.php

ah ha..... can i still display it on the old page? {PHPBB_VERSION} is obvisouly not the right way.

Well, you'd have to re-add the code back into the page_tail.php - time to go back a couple of phpBB versions

Yeah, it was moved so that hackers wouldn't know the exact version of phpBB you were using... you know, anything to help slow them down a little...
