Integrate the version (version table and exponent_version.php file) and upgrade (install) processes

Reported by dleffler | June 23rd, 2011 @ 07:05 PM | in Release Candidate 1 (closed)

Some things like the exponent menu version info should probably best come from the version database table instead of the exponent_version file. This would mostly be apparent in the develop and testing versions rather than the released version.

    • State changed from “new” to “open”
    • Assigned user set to “dleffler”

    This would likely include merging the version check with the install/upgrade check and limiting the version table to a single entry.

    • Title changed from “Investigate moving some version stuff to reference the database table instead of the exponent_version.php file” to “Integrate the version (version table and exponent_version.php file) and upgrade (install) processes”

    Bearing in mind, part of the upgrade process includes checking versions. May require altering the version table to split out version type & iteration for sorting purposes

    • may be able to do away with the “not_configured” file?
    • would probably flow like this:
      • exponent_version.php is the “code” version
      • table exponent_version is the database version
      • if code version < database version, issue warning, but possibly allow continuing?
      • if code version > database version, perform upgrade
      • if code version = database version (or post install/upgrade), set version defines
      • somehow make the “develop” code use more flexible, but not hinder switching back to/from main code line.

    (from [2bf79edc610616bdef924db4fab751a7608bc538]) Added a version checking process to keep the 'software' and 'database' versions in sync. Now the following things trigger the installation process: 1) install/not_configured exists, 2) conf/config.php does NOT exist, 3) the database version is lower than the software version. Moved version checking methods from subsystem/core.php to expUtil.
