HOWTO: Run Multiple bbtoNuke (Forums) Modules in phpNuke

Site Admin Joined: Aug 17, 2003 Posts: 12383

Just put it in the beginning of the file, after the <? tag

Lieutenant Joined: Aug 12, 2003 Posts: 183

This line:

Quote:

$url = "modules.php?name=".$module_name."&file=".$url; //Change to Nuke format

If I put this to:

Quote:

$url = "modules.php?name=Forums&file=".$url; //Change to Nuke format

Then the Username lookup in the Private messages work properly.

However,

After I make the change the multiple forums do not work properly

Any Ideas?

What file is this? $module_name may not be declared correctly. If its in the function, make sure $module_name is defined in a global

Ok, Im on Nuke Platinum 7.6.b.4 (very new).. and I dont even HAVE this file Sad

Mine isnt in modules/Forum2/admin/

I have modules/Forums2/common.php but that's still not got this in it:

Code:

include($root_path . 'includes/constants.'.$phpEx);

Do you think this mod wont work on my version? (lots changed so.. Neutral

)

If you can figure out a way around this, then PLEASE tell me Smile

Thanks a lot Razz

Just place it at the beginning of the code in that file

I do paid code work, visit my service site at http://evaders.swrebellion.com

what about the missing files? It seems my version is coded differently, because I dont have common.php in /modules/Forums/admin :S perhaps you can copy and paste the cotent of that file here so I can see if I do have it, only named differently?

Cheers a bunch

Mmm if you don't have it, it may not be needed. Does your forums still run?

Hey Evaders,

First of all great mod. Everything works except when i go to the administration area and try to access the new board's administration, it says "You are not authorised to administer this board". If i try to access the original board's administration, it works. So for some reason, the cookie is not being read on the new board? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Im using nuke 7.8 patched.

...also, the message seems to be coming directly from

-forums2/admin/pagestart.php

where it says

Code:

message_die(GENERAL_MESSAGE, "You are not authorised to administer this board");

anyone have any idea on why it's saying that?

Nuke Cadet Joined: May 07, 2006 Posts: 4

nevermind, i fixed it.

im an idiot.

i changed the main $prefix instead of just adding on so it was trying to find the admin in my new prefix from $prefix_authors which doesnt exists.

sorry I couldnt find this thread lol - the mod worked (technically) it allowed me to run multiple forums, but no functions worked, and sometimes the page just showed as the default css bg color

I have this working great.

One problem im having is when people register using the forums they click the link in thier e-mail something like:

http://theartdoor.com/modules.php?name=Forums&file=profile&mode=activate&u=11111&act_key=a111a1

When they go to the page its empty except for my pages header.

No error messages.

Any ideas?
