What version of LMS am I using?
The version of LMS which your site is using can be found if you log in as an administrator and go to Site administration > Notifications.
LMS version info
Finding the version of LMS if you are not an admin
- For LMS sites in English or German (only), if you are a regular teacher with no admin access, you might be able to find your LMS version by clicking on “LMS Docs for this page” at the bottom of any LMS page when logged in. If your admin has allowed this link to display, you should be taken to the documentation for your version of LMS. Look at the number in the URL e.g. 27 or 32 which mean you are using LMS 2.7 or 3.2 respectively.
Finding the version of LMS if your site is in a language other than English or German
- For LMS sites in languages other than English, you can go to any course where you are a teacher. We will see one example for a Mexican Spanish site.
- Notice the URL in the browser window (blue rectangle in the image below).
-
- Add ‘&lang=en’ to the address (green rectangle in the image below).
- Your course will now have a ‘LMS Docs for this page’ link (blue rectangle in the image above) that will lead you to the version of the English LMS documentation that corresponds to your LMS site version (green rectangle in the image below):
Version.php file
Your exact LMS version may be obtained by viewing the file lms/version.php in a text editor. Here is a typical version.php:
<?php
// LMS VERSION INFORMATION
// This file defines the current version of the core LMS code being used.
// This is compared against the values stored in the database to determine
// whether upgrades should be performed (see lib/db/*.php)
$version = 2007101580.00; // YYYYMMDD = date of the 1.9 branch (don't change)
// X = release number 1.9.[0,1,2,3,4,5...]
// Y.YY = micro-increments between releases
$release = '1.9.8+ (Build: 20100512)'; // Human-friendly version name
?>
Note: You cannot view the contents of version.php in your browser – you must use a text editor.
