How to check EPiServer version of website?

Vote:
 

Hi,

Someone's asking me what specific version of our EPiServer site we're using.

How could I check the actual version of CMS, relate, and Mail we're using right now? Where could I check it?

Thanks.

The title bar of the CMS edit mode should give you the version info of the site, at least the CMS version. Otherwise you could always check the dll:s in the bin folder or the assembly-redirects in web.config.

In more recent versions, Edit mode only shows: EPiServer CMS - Edit, but Admin mode title does include the version.

For these cases we usually giving some authorized endpoint (somestimes it does matter what version of your own app is installed):

public class VersionController : Controller
{
    [Authorize(Roles = "CmsAdmins")]
    public ContentResult Index(string assemblyName)
    {
        var fvi = FileVersionInfo.GetVersionInfo(Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().Location);
        var version = fvi.FileVersion;

        return new ContentResult { Content = "Current version: " + version };
    }
}

The method used to display title (mentioned by Marija) is available as public, static:

 EPiServer.UI.Edit.MasterPages.Frameworks.Framework.CreatePageTitle((string) null, LocalizationService.Current)

and could be reused in your VersionController:

public class VersionController : Controller
{
    [Authorize(Roles = "CmsAdmins")]
    public ContentResult Index(string assemblyName)
    {
        return new ContentResult { Content = "Current version: " + Framework.CreatePageTitle(null, LocalizationService.Current) };
    }
}
