[wp-testers] Nightly build revision number in admin footer?
Once upon a time, for those who were testing the bleeding edge nightlies, the build's revision number could be found in the footer as in: You are using a development version (2.5-beta r). Cool! Please stay updated for example. Believe it or not, Having this convenient to the nightly build revision number really helped when a tester was checking out new changes and tracking down bugs. At least it was for me. Is there any chance that this small feature of the nightly builds could be returned? It would be great to be able to glance down at the admin footer and see the build's revision number there. (This was asked previously as I recall when the build revision number first disappeared from the admin footer as there wasn't anywhere within version.) ___ wp-testers mailing list wp-testers@lists.automattic.com http://lists.automattic.com/mailman/listinfo/wp-testers

Re: [wp-testers] Nightly build revision number in admin footer?
Thanks for the info Dougal, Unfortunately, it doesn't work for me. Once activated there's no change in the WP 3.0 admin footer. No extra line in the admin footer that indicates the revision number and path (as it says in the description). I tried deactivating my plugins in case one was interfering but no difference. Perhaps it's a problem for those using the WordPress Beta Tester plugin to keep updated rather than the more traditional SVN approach? Either way it's hardly a testing showstopper. I was just wondering whether it was possible for the devs to add the revision number back into the admin footer like it was back when.

Unless it was returned as part of the update check API (which isn't a bad idea), WordPress would have no idea which revision it was running. ___ wp-testers mailing list wp-testers@lists.automattic.com http://lists.automattic.com/mailman/listinfo/wp-testers

It's much easier for me (probably my only choice for that matter) to use the Beta Tester plugin than trying to use Subversion on shared hosting. Prior to the plugin I updated to the latest nightly doing it the old fashioned way; manual upload via FTP. And yeah, it would be a nice idea. ;-) ___ wp-testers mailing list wp-testers@lists.automattic.com http://lists.automattic.com/mailman/listinfo/wp-testers
