In admin the ZC version check (TRH corner) displays inconsistently

In admin the ZC version check (TRH corner) displays inconsistently.

Whilst in admin/index.php and hitting several links under "Extras" the version "(You are presently using: v1.6.0-pre-alpha)" and check button does not show.

Hitting most of the other links in the admin menu the version information and button is shown as usual.

Is this intended or is it a bug?

What version of the files are you running? In your CATALOG/zc_install/sql/updates what is the highest version?

Are you running the 1.6.0 version? if so, this isn't stable yet and isn't even released for general use. Also if you are running the latest pre-release version of Zen Cart you will need to create an issue here: https://github.com/zencart/zencart/issues

It's a known bug ... er, well, "known" in that I saw some similar symptoms just the other day. But I haven't opened an Issue ticket in github for it yet.

It's caused by an unfinished consolidation of some admin-template components.

Feel free to create an Issue in github!

Hmmmm... unnecessary remarks! I am testing this locally. This **IS **the place to report issues with 1.6.0 during dev stage.

Thanks DrByte

I would have to strongly disagree see the Developer Documentation:

NOTE
Posting issues on github is ONLY for development versions.

k guys, let's not argue about it.

It wasn't wrong to post about it here, especially since that's what this section of the forum was created for.

But posting issues to github is indeed now becoming the place where the most immediate interaction will occur for verifiable problems with core code.

I agree, I guess two answers can be correct.

This isn't a place for Egos but a place to share the knowledge among the community. And to build each other up and not argue with each other over semantics.
