Result

The function returns ? if this plug-in is not loaded. If the plug-in is loaded the result is a version number, it is returned in the format aabbccdd where every letter represents a digit of the level, so versions can be easily compared.

Originated in

Troi URL Plug-in 2.5

Compatibility

FileMaker Pro 16 to 19

Considerations

The TURL_VersionAutoUpdate function is part of an emerging standard for FileMaker plug-ins of third party vendors of plug-ins. The version number can be easily compared, when using the Autoupdate functionality of FileMaker Server.

Example

TURL_VersionAutoUpdate

will return 07000000 for version 7.0

TURL_VersionAutoUpdate

will return 07050203 for version 7.5.2.3

So for example to use a feature introduced with version 4.5 test if the result is equal or greater than 04050000.
