MyBB Community Forums

Hi
I am wondering if the version number in the url of the javascripts is necessary and what it is used for

urls from headerinclude template

Quote:<script type="text/javascript" src="{$mybb->settings['bburl']}/jscripts/prototype.js?ver=1603"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="{$mybb->settings['bburl']}/jscripts/general.js?ver=1603"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="{$mybb->settings['bburl']}/jscripts/popup_menu.js?ver=1600"></script>

I saw that in admin control panel these scripts are called without passing a version number.

Google page speed recommends to remove this that's why I'm asking.

It just makes the browser recache them when new changes have been made since the previous MyBB release.

Ah ok, sounds logical.
So if I combine the scripts and add the version number to the filename instead I would achieve the same effect.

Thanks

Yeah, you just have to remember to update it whenever the files are changed. .P

Of course.
Thanks for the confirmation.
