You ever needed to write extra code for a specific joomla version (for instance to check the password in joomla 1.0.13 you need to salt it)?
here is a quick tip:
use the global variable (defined by joomla ) $_VERSION
an example on using it:
function myBlabla()
{
global $_VERSION;
if($_VERSION->DEV_LEVEL>12){
$pwd = $row->password;
$salt = mosMakePassword(16);
$crypt = md5($row->password.$salt);
$row->password = $crypt.':'.$salt;
}else {
$pwd = $row->password;
$row->password = md5( $row->password );
}
}
