Good calendar?

Posted: Thu Sep 16, 2004 10:39 am

Anyone know of a good calendar to add to PHPNuke? Also, my site was just configured a week or two ago, and since I didn't do it, I don't know what version of PHP-Nuke I have. I'm reluctant to install anything, just in case it might not be compatible with my version of PHP-Nuke. Thanks!

I just answered a similar request. Check out this post: http://www.nukecops.com/postlite34696-.html.

As for the version of your nuke site, you might be able to check your nuke_config table; there might be (depending on version) a column called Version_Num. Or, you can download analyze.php which can give you your version number. Note that analyze.php has not been updated in a while so the security information provided by analyze.php may not necessarily be accurate, but you should still be able to use it to get your version number.

It will help you GREATLY in your nuke-enabled website endeavors if you have access to your database via phpMyAdmin.

Some web hosts have this pre-installed for you if you have some sort of a control panel that you log into.

If not, you may want to get ahold of whoever set your site up for you and see if they will also set up some way for you to access your database.

Anyway, that's where the nuke_config table lives.

Oh, and I also wanted to mention that going by the copyright date in your footer, it looks like an older version of nuke (circa 2002).

Ok. I use Powweb and they have phpmyadmin installed for me. there was nothing about my version, but i recall (when i used analyze.php) seeing something about a version 4.3.8....but i thought that might not be right because that sounds like a really old version. anyway, the guy who set it up for me isn't responding, so i'm not very happy with him. i'd be interested to know why he used such an older version of php-nuke.

is my version way old?

If that's what version it is, then yeah, that's old

Did you try what oprime suggested and look at the nuke_config table via phpMyAdmin? Then you'll be able to find out for sure what version you're running.

When you're in phpMyAdmin, all of the tables in your database will show in the left column. Click on nuke_config, then "browse" in the right window at the top and look until you find the nuke version.

Just as a heads up, if your version *is* that old, you should think about upgrading to a newer, more secure release.

i agree, only i have no idea how to go about an upgrade. i'm new at all of this, to include HTML and PHP....I literally started this a week or so ago. Plus, like I said, the guy who set this up for me is not being very responsive, so I'm not sure what to do at this point.

There was no column for version no. or anything like that in nuke_config....

Oops...my bad. The key you're looking for is "Version_Num"

As far as upgrading goes, it's not really all that difficult. Just download one of the newer versions (newest is 7.5) from http://phpnuke.org et al (heck, you could download it from this site).

From there it's a matter of extracting the files to their proper folders (which are specified in the zip file. Just remember that "/html/" actually means your site root folder), uploading those files to the server and running an upgrade script (also included) to update your database and tables.

If you did any customization to your theme, BACK THAT FOLDER UP FIRST.

That 4.3.8 that you saw was prolly your PHP version. Re-run the analyze.php and look for PHP-Nuke Values for <your site name>. This section/table should have your php-nuke Version, in addition to Default_Theme, Locale, and Language.
