Can I change the God title

Posted: Sun Aug 31, 2003 5:23 am

Being a christian minister and working on building a nuke site for a bible camp, I'm having a problem with the superuser account using the word "God" when it refers to me and I'm sure that a lot of the users would have a problem with that too.

I would like to change that to be something a little more in line with reality, such as "Admin, WebAdmin," Does this only require a simple change in the language files or is there hard coding that checks for the word "God" throughout the files of nuke?

well no one can see if your a god admin or not, there is 2 ways you can do this to my knowlege

1)make a new admin and there title wont be God just be Admin

2)go into the myphpadmin, and go to the database, and then make sure it is on structure at the top, then scoll down and look for nuke_authors
(should be the first place) but then to the side there is Browse, well click that, then where you account name is press edit then scoll down to name, and it should say God, but you can change it from there then just scoll down and press go and there you have it =)

I'm not a minister, but I don't like the superuser account being referred to as God either. I changed it as well. To me, it's dragging his name in vain. I'm surprised others haven't expressed the same concern.

By just changing the name with PHPMyAdmin in authors table, will allow the God admin to be deleted by any other admins you have. To change this name and insure no deletion of the 'God Admin' you need to do some file editing. I also had a problem with this name being used to refer to me, so I changed mine using the following edits: the line numbers may not be the same I'm have PHP-Nuke 6.9 , but it should work just the same.

Go to PHPMyAdmin browser authors table change name God to what ever you want, but keep it short.

in admin/language/lang-english.php line: 223 & 224 edit text only!

223------ (God account can't be deleted) <------- same name as in SQL DB

224------ "God Admin* <----------------------------same name as in SQL DB

admin/modules/authors.php edit line 44 :
if($name=="God") <--------same name as in SQL DB

edit your.com/admin.php line 23:
$the_adm = "God"; <------------same name as in SQL DB

I knew it would require a bit more than the first suggestion. Thanks once again to the knowledgebase of the Nuke Community.
