Sentinel Admin Link wrong

Hi all

I have just installed Sentinel and when i go to admin and click it, it takes me to:

http://www.mysite.co.uk/.php?op=ABMain

Whats the problem that can be causing the admin part to be missing?

did you patch your files ? patch 2.9?

I had the same problem and the patch was to high for sentinel

you can try yoururl/admin.php?op=ABMain but you cant change your settings cause he ll be referring to the wrong domein link

try adding this to your config.php

Code:

$admin_file = "admin";

BobMarion over at NukeScripts suggested this as the proper fix, which I think is actually the correct fix:

Code:

global $admin_file;

I tested it and it works properly. Clearly $admin_file is being defined when admin.php is processed.

Original solution:

I think I did an edit that's more focused (only changes a NukeSentinel file). Here's what I did.

In admin/links/links.nukesentinel.php, I put this as the first line of code (after the opening '<?php', of course):

Code:

if(!isset($admin_file)) { $admin_file = "admin"; }

Alternatively, just change all occurences of $admin_file to "admin" (removing string concatenation operators and fixing double-quotes as necessary) in that file. None of the other links.* files in 7.5 and below use the $admin_file variable; they all hardcode admin.php as the admin file. But if you upgrade PHP-Nuke past 7.5, it might break again. So using the '!isset' construct is probably safest.

I think the use of $admin_file comes from PHP-Nuke 7.6 and above, so in 7.5 it's not defined at the time the links files are processed.
