This is why I've suggested the manifest.cfc (or something similar) track things like plugin version number. It really is difficult to manage plugins in scenarios like this (I have different clients often on different versions of FarCry and plugins). https://farcry.jira.com/browse/FC-1677. Instead I sometimes have a to keep a spreadsheet listing the infomation for each client (not ideal).
Here's a way we did it with the FarCry Solr Pro plugin to make it easier for ourselves: https://github.com/jeffcoughlin/farcrysolrpro/blob/master/install/manifest.cfc. As an example, you can see how it checks the version number for you from the webtop (within the plugin options). We also use the related struct info (bottom of manifect.cfc) to populate the json file we keep on the plugin website (hosted by github) - which dynamically populates all the links, references, and the changelog used within the github pages for the plugin: http://jeffcoughlin.github.io/farcrysolrpro/downloads.html and is also referenced when you are within the webtop to check and tell you if there is a newer version of the plugin available. -- Jeff Coughlin On Mar 4, 2014, at 4:54 PM, Geoff Bowers <mod...@daemon.com.au> wrote: > On Wednesday, 5 March 2014 01:44:43 UTC+11, Scott Conklin wrote: > I have never worked with farcry before and was tasked with upgrading from v > 4.0 -> 5.0 and now to 6.2.3.
