If you are using CometChat with a Simple Machines Forum (SMF) to provide an online chat feature for users of the forum and wish to determine the version currently on a Linux system, make the current working directory the one in which CometChat is installed, e.g.
cd
~/public_html/myforum/cometchat, if that is the directory where
CometChat is installed; the ~ will be translated by the
system to represent your "home" directory, i.e, the directory you are
placed in when you log into the system. Then search for "currentversion"
in the index.php file, which will be found in the
admin subdirectory beneath the cometchat
directory. In the example below, the version installed is 4.4.0.
$ grep "currentversion" admin/index.php $currentversion = '4.4.0'; $
You can also find the version by viewing the contents of the
CHANGELOG.txt file in the CometChat directory. The current
version will be listed near the top of the file with the new features
provided in that version.
$ more CHANGELOG.txt ------------------------------------------------------------- CometChat Change Log ------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------- 4.4.0 ------------------------------------------------------------- Features + Jabber/XMPP support + Inline popups for plugins/extensions + Desktop Messenger support + CometService/BeaconPush/APE enabled for chatrooms + Facebook chat login with your own Facebook application keys + Enhanced and simplified theming + Sleaker scroller
The CometChat website has a statement that "We provide support only for the latest stable version. No support is provided for beta or older releases."
