Re: [Tikiwiki-devel] Move to Mods part 2 [was Re: TikiSheet -massive reporting potential!]

[Gary Cunningham-L. <ga...@cu...>]

Hi,

Each mod has a file like mods/trunk/Packages/themes-andreas08.info.txt, 
and this file has a "Version:" line. The content of the line following 
the Version line is reported for the mod on tiki-mods.php. (For anybody 
that doesn't have Admin Mods set up, the mods are listed with these 
columns of information:
Revision, Name, Version, License, Description, Install link).
