how does nuke include phpbb admin files

Ok, I found a copy of the simple_subforums ported mod, and followed all of the installation instructions. I have the xs template.php installed as well. I editedthe .tpl files under both their default locations and all of the ones I could find under my current theme (midnight). When I go to the Administration-Forum, the left panel with all of the forum controls will not show up. The right side which shows the current information is there though.

Any thoughts?

Your problem lies in one of the following files:

admin/admin_forumauth.php
admin/admin_forums.php

To find out which one, and where the problem is, go into config.php in your root PHP-Nuke directory and turn error messages on. Then open up the forum admin page and see what error appears in the side bar.

I didn't see an option to turn on error reporting, so I removed both of the files and replaced them with their orginals. I then edited just one at a time and uploaded it to see where the problem came from file wise.

I have determined that it is the admin_forums.php file that is causing the left bar not to load.

Great. That's the file with most of the modifications in. The line you need to change in config.php looks something like this:

$display_errors = false;

Change it to:

$display_errors = true;

There's not a lot that can be done unless this line is changed. Remember it's config.php and not modules/Forums/config.php.

Once you've got the error message, post it up so we can see where the problem is. It would help massively if you could post up a couple of lines around the one that the error is complaining about. (eg. if it says line 225 is causing the trouble, posting lines 220-230 would help a lot more than just posting line 225.)

If you still can't get the errors working, if you could send a copy of the whole admin_forums.php file, that would do.

Ok, the error line wasn't in there at all, so I added it and it worked for that part. Here is the error:

Parse error: parse error, unexpected ',' in /home/content/m/o/r/mordrov/html/modules/Forums/admin/admin_forums.php on line 537

I must be an idiot.... but I can't get the code itself posted. I get an error saying I can't access the module every time I try and put the code in here.

Well, I couldn't get the code to post for you guys, however I spent quite a bit of time staring at it, and was able to make the change to get the left bar to show up.

Now I just have to figure out how to actually get the subforums to work...

It is working perfectly now. Thank y'all so much for your help. There is no way I could have done this without you guys.

Once again, it's time to revive this topic.

I installed the Nuke version of Subforums located HERE

Well, as you can see from reading, I am by no means an expert, however, I will lend what little knowledge I have.

When you say it isn't working, what exactly is it doing? Did you make sure and replace the template.php with the one from xs_mod?

Yup, replaced it with the XS Mod.

Should I uninstall everything i did and install thephpBB version and not the ported version?

This is what it does.

Admin Side
-All indented (sub forums) forums refer like this
http://x.gamecharmer.com/modules/Forums/admin/modules.php?name=Forums&file=./../viewforum&f=34
./../ should not be in there.
modules/Forums/admin/ Shouldn't be in their either

so, it should look like this
http://x.gamecharmer.com/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewforum&f=34

although, and forums that aren't subforums work properly.

Forums side
- They show up as sub-forums on the index, and that's it. I made all changes according to the document, that is the only thing that works...

Anything I should do?

Thanks!

The first thing you should do is change the default XAMPP favicon.ico (probably in xampp/htdocs/) to one unique for your site.

After that, I'd go hunting for the path_to_phpbb. In the admin bit there might be something changed... I dunno really. Some index.php coding might help.

I removed the sub-forums. They trashed a lot more than I had expected.

I can't change the favicon. It's the hosting service that uses it. Trust me, I've tried.
