CiviCRM Community Forums (archive)

The only place the version number seems to appear is in a file version.tpl - in the templates/CRM/common folder. You could retrieve it from there.

In uc_civicrm, I did this:

  // Find out whether this version of CiviCRM keeps activity history
  // in the civicrm_activity_history table
  $activity_history = @include_once 'CRM/Core/BAO/History.php';
  if ( $activity_history ) {

    // Add this purchase to the civicrm_activity_history table
    $params = array('entity_table' => 'civicrm_contact',
                    'entity_id' => $cid,
                    'activity_type' => t('Purchase'),
                    'module' => 'Ubercart',
                    'activity_id' => $order_id,
                    'activity_summary' => t('Purchase'),
                    'activity_date' => date('YmdHis'));
    $ids = array();
    CRM_Core_BAO_History::create($params, $ids);
  } else {

    // Add this purchase to the civicrm_activity table
    require_once 'CRM/Activity/BAO/Activity.php';
    $params = array('subject'           => 'Purchase',
                    'source_contact_id' => $cid,
                    'duration_hours'    => 0,
                    'duration_minutes'  => 0,
                    'activity_type_id'  => $option_value,
                    'status_id'         => 2, // Completed
                    'details'           => 'order details here',
                    'activity_date_time'=> date('YmdHis') );
    CRM_Activity_BAO_Activity::create($params);
  }

There is also a function from 2.0 onwards: CRM_Utils_System::version( );

which gives you the version of the code that is being run
