I just installed this on my site today.

Most important back-up any files you are going to edit and put them in a seperate folder.

First I would start in the "Edits_For_Core_Files" folder. Its a list of .txt files including changes that need to be made to your "Core" nuke installation. (ie: mainfile7.9.txt includes changes that need to be made to mainfile.php). There is a mainfile.txt for each version of nuke supported by this mod. After editing all files upload them to your server and replace the old. Be sure you backed them up, first.

Next upload the files in the html folder to your websites root folder. (ie: public_html/) Its shouldn't replace any files. <---this is easy part

Last run the nsnst.php and follow instructions.
(ie:www.yoursite.com/nsnst.php)

I hope this helps

ok I found this stuff but that is an awful lot of coding and I am not verse in php to do this.

Yes I uploaded everything and I am looking at the mainfile to edit and quite frankly its scary. I found the first part to edit on the mainfile but not quite sure where to stop at. I have hand coded HMTL sites from scratch but this PHP stuff is scary. My hat off to those that know what they are doing. You have my utmost respect.

Also sorry I pmed you echo, I just noticed "Do not PM staff" My apologies

Oh...that's alright

I don't mind getting Private Messages...all is good! If you want to attach your mainfile here in zip format I will take a look at it for ya. This is why backing up is so very important before adding something of this magnitude.

Ok thanks

I saved my old site in the html format. I think I am going to wipe out my php site and go back to html. This php stuff is too nerve racking and I have spent 4 hours inside on a sunny day trying to figure this stuff out. Cant seem to figue it out

That is sad when when people go around and destroy things that other people have worked so hard on. Took me 11 days of 10 hours each just to get mine and then another 3 weeks of fiddling around with it to get it like I wanted it.

Well thank you Echo, I have sent you my mainfile. As for the backup, I do that regardless every couple days. I just did one this morning.
