That is pretty much the way you'll want to do it.
My suggestion though is to clear your /admin directory, and load a clean one. That will make sure any old scripts get removed

I am currently using 7.4. Via my host's cPanel, they are offering an upgrade to 7.7. I can tell I need to do something as I am having some problems with 7.4. But, I've had a couple people tell me not to go to 7.7 as it is a broken system.

So, I guess my question is do I really want to upgrade to 7.7?

Thanks in advance. Smile

From 7.5 you get the new admin system. Which is much more flexible for new admin scripts.
From 7.6 you get the option to rename the admin.php file - always good for a little more security
From 7.7 you get the WYSIWYG editor. If you really need, then use it. Otherwise I don't recommend it.
From 7.8 you get the new Advertising module. It supports Javascript and Flash code now

If you want any of those features, go for it. If not, stick with what you have and keep it Patched

I'm trying to install nukesentinel in my php-nuke 7.6 and am haveing this problem:

I did the admin fix to get me back into my admin panel,but i'm haveing the following problem after activating the NukeSentinel module.When i click on it this comes up:

You can't access this file directly...

the following i am haveing trouble understanding:

("The following files must be deleted from the admin case, links and modules folder:
all files relating to content, faq, download, encyclopedia, links, polls, reviews, stories, topics and users.
The rest of the files in the case and links folders require no changes."

("there are no file's in the admin/modules folder realating to the ones listed here"))

("The following files are the only ones that need updating in the admin/modules folder:
authors.php
backup.php
forums.php
modules.php
newsletter.php
optimize.php"

("there are no such files in the nukesentinel admin/modules folder.there is a folder named admin/modules/nukesentinel containing files like ABAuthEdit.php.so what is to be done with this folder?"))

("All module main files can remain as they are, the only change is that you will need to upload an admin folder into the following modules:
Content
Downloads
Encyclopedia
FAQ
News
Reviews
Surveys
Topics
Web_Links
Your_Account"

("do you mean the nukesentinel admin folder?"))

("The following file must be deleted:
auth.php"

("and where might this file be?"))

("also inside the nukesentinel images folder there are two folders,one named admin with one image in it.i suppose that goes into the root/images folder and a folder named nukesentinel,do i upload the folder into the root/images folder or just the contents of it?")

i would appreciate some help with this.Thank you.

Well this topic deals with upgrading to 7.5/7.6 and higher. Is that what you are doing?

Nuke Sentinel should work on most phpNuke versions. You should follow the instructions included with the Sentinel package

but if you look at the first page of this thread it deals with nukesentinel problems.Then it turns into php-nuke upgrades.And the post you refer people to outlined in my first post is not a very good explanation to the problem.it leaves more questions that it answers (for me).so if you could clarify my questions i would so appreciate it.as this is no where esle in your forum.

Confirm what phpNuke version you are using.

If you are upgrading to 7.5 or higher from lower versions, I suggest removing your old files before loading the new ones.

If you have a specific queston about Sentinel's instructions, use another post for your questions please
