Thanks for downloading this Tweaked version of PHP-Nuke7.0 This is as easy an install as it gets (look to the bottom for more descriptive instructions) just like PHP-Nuke upload everything in directory structure html/ --> html change the variables in the config to match your server information and have fun. I had original intentions of adding the attachments mod and the buddy list mod but after seeing as many bugs as I have with them I decided to leave that out. I will be porting some more themes to go with this PHP-Nuke enhanced version and will make them available to you when they are ready.

This is not my version of PHP-Nuke, FB deserves all the credit for this great CMS. I just added some things to make it a little more interesting. Special thanks to Shawn at [ Register or login to view links on this board. ] for his great mods and add-ons that are included and to Bob Marion [ Register or login to view links on this board. ] for his great add-ons and scripts.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS:
###################################
Base Requirements
-----------------

In order to setup PHP-Nuke the folowing prerequisits are necessary:

- A Linux Box (http://www.linux.com) Installed and working properly.
- Apache Web Server (http://www.apache.org)
- PHP version 4.1.x or better (mod_php) Apache module (http://www.php.net)
- MySQL database server (http://www.mysql.com)

NOTE: From PHP-Nuke version 5.3, I added a new SQL abstraction layer,
this means that PHP-Nuke now supports MySQL, mSQL, PostgreSQL, PostgreSQL_local,
ODBC, ODBC_Adabas, Sybase and Interbase servers. The official test server
is MySQL which is used to develop PHP-Nuke. Any feedback about other SQL Servers
and how it works will be very appreciated and useful.

The above doesn't mean it will not work with other configurations, OS's, DB's, etc,
but we only provide INSTALL instructions for the above configuration.
In fact PHP-Nuke works under Windows (all), FreeBSD, OS/2, MacOS, etc.

Setup of these required packages is beyond the scope of this document
and if you are unsure, you should check with each of the appropriate web
sites for further details.

Installing the Package
----------------------

Untar the package into the directory you want to use on your web
server, if you're unsure where that is, ask you system administrator.
(Windows users can use WinZip or WinRAR to uncompress .tar.gz files)

tar -zxvf PHP-Nuke.tar.gz

Now go to the directory where you uncompressed all files and edit the
file "config.php". Change all the fields until you are happy with the
changes and they fit the needs of your web site. Give special attention
to the database configuration section. When you have finished editing the
config.php file change to the /sql/ directory and look for a file called
"nuke.sql" , this file contains the commands to build the database structure,
tables and the default data.

1) Create a database called, for example, nuke:

mysqladmin create nuke

2) Now fill the databases with the tables in nuke.sql file:

mysql nuke < nuke.sql

3) In order to use the ultramode.txt news file please be sure to chmod 666.
This file is used to show news from your site in some old programs and
frontends and is reserved to future use in PHP-Nuke. For backend use
backend.php file instead.

4) That's it!... now you need to edit the file "config.php" to set the
database options. Please read carefully the instruction on that file!
After that, point your browser to:

http://yourdomain.com/admin.php

We use MySQL as the example and nuke.sql file is in MySQL format
because PHP-Nuke was made using this database server. You can find
many programs out there to convert the database schema from MySQL to
whatever else you want. But this is a task for you.

First Run
---------

Create your Super User following the on-screen instructions.
Now click on "Preferences" and change whatever you want to fit your
site info. All the options you need to change are in the Preferences
menu. If you need help just click on the help icon at the top-right
of the Administration Menu. This will open a new window with the help
you need for each section in the administration system.

SECURITY TIP: It's a good choice to put your config.php file outside the
Web Server path, then you can create a new config.php with the line:

<?php include("../config.php"); ?>

Testing the Installation
------------------------

Go to your homepage, for example:

[ Register or login to view links on this board. ]

To initiate your activities in your site, you need to login as Administrator at:

[ Register or login to view links on this board. ]

this will give you full administrator priviledges to your installation of Nuke.

*** For security reasons please remember to create a Super User IMMEDIATELY!!! ***

Remember to "Logout" from admin after you use it, from this area you can
delete or add content on your site, never leave your computer without loging out
from the admin account. If something bad happens don't come crying to me.

I recommend the use of phpMyAdmin. It's a good administration system for
MySQL databases. To download it just go to [ Register or login to view links on this board. ]

I also recommend to set a password for your MySQL access. This is important
as some data in the nuke database is not encrypted, so for security reasons you
need to set a password, not only that, it is a good practice!

For Banners System, when you setup a new client, you need to assign a new
login/password for him. The login and password is used by the client at the url:

http://yourdomain.com/banners.php?op=login

in order to let the client view and track the banner stats in real time
just pass that url to your clients. Take a look yourself before you do.

Final Notes
-----------

That's it! You're done with PHP-Nuke. Just navigate around, play with it,
abuse it and if you like PHP-Nuke, use it. Spend some time getting used to the
administration interface.

To change your site's logo, go to the themes directory and make a custom
logo for each individual theme. Just navigate around all themes and change
the graphics you want.

A note for the PHP-Nuke site's administrators: Only admins (authors) can
view the following data in the site:

- Administration Menu
- Number of New Submissions
- Edit button for each link in Web Links
- Edit and Delete options for each Article
- Delete option for each comment
- IP/Host address of the comment poster
- Moderation option and button (if set for admin only)
- and MANY more...

If you plan to give something in change for PHP-Nuke as a contribution,
please read the file SUPPORT included in this package to have some ideas.

PS: When you e-mail me asking something, just remember that I receive A LOT
of e-mails a day!!! so I can't answer all of you, but for sure I'll read it.
But please don't wait for an answer.

*** Special Thanks to all the people who help sending bug reports, fixes, new
add-ons, requests for new features, etc... I really appreciate you all! ***

ADDITIONAL INSTRUCTIONS:
#######################################

1- Open root/images/CZModules/bookmark.js and fill in your site information. Then re-upload it.
2- Log into the Admin Panel and go to admin.php?op=modules set up your categories for the main menu.
3- Check the configuration settings on the MS_Analysis, there are instructions in there pertaining to the proper configuration. It is currently adjusted to run and update itself every hour.(static)
4- If you want to use the Staff online images in the CZUser Info V.2.0 block then you will have to open it up and look for the following:

[-----FIND-----]

if (($session[uname] == XXXXX) or ($session[uname] == xxxxx))

Change the XXXXX to your name in CAPITAL LETTERS and the xxxxx to your name in small letters. (I am currently beta testing a new admin panel that will allow you to update those images from there so keep an eye out!).

5- Log into your Forums administration and make the necessary changes to the configuration in there, also that is where you can activate or deactivate the message board on top of the Forums.

I am sure there is something that I forgot. If that is the case or you find any bugs please report them to my forums.

Hi Telli,

I just download and install it and it looks nice..just one small problem
i can login on admin mode but i can't login with the normal user nick

I don't know why, cause they have the same password.

cheers..

I cant reproduce the error I tried on the beta site and it worked ok. Can you place a url to the site it is installed on please.

Can we used it for upgrade or is it only for new installations ?
