Backlight version numbers and skipping upgrade

Hi,
How do I tell what version number of Backlight I'm using - and is it possible to skips versions when upgrading? I've left my installation alone for several months but now need to catch up and update it. Do I have to install every sequential update or can I just skip to the latest in each module?

Re: Backlight version numbers and skipping upgrade

Read the readme.txt file to see what’s been added since the last time you updated.
When in doubt, you can always just upload everything EXCEPT the backlight/data/ folder and your custom/ folder.

To see the version you’re using, sign in to Backlight, the Backlight version is shown in the Backlight Dashboard. Same with Publisher, Cart, and Client Response.

Re: Backlight version numbers and skipping upgrade

Thanks Rod. I had this same question. Is there a way to tell the version number for the Theater, Wordpress, and Galleria add-ons?

The zip files are numbered

Re: Backlight version numbers and skipping upgrade

The version numbers can be found in the module.xml files found in pangolin-theater, pangolin-wordpress and pangolin-galleria.

These should be up-to-date but note that they may sometimes be out of sync with the version on the zip file if we miss updating the internal version numbers during deployment.
