[Alpha 1.5.4] phpNuke Integration 0.2

[[Unknown]]

PLEASE note that this is an alpha.  All this does is allow you to install YaBB SE as a module and use it...
It also uses phpNuke's cookie.  However, do be sure to remember - you still have to register in both places with the same username and password.  You may have to attempt to login to the forum, so it can convert your YaBB SE password to phpNuke's encryption.

Use this at your own risk.  This is not complete, and is only some of what is needed - far from complete, and only barely usable.

I'd like to thank Andrea for giving me information on how to do this, and encouraging me to do it.  Of course, I haven't gone very far with it... but I/someone else may.

Package Server: http://unknown.network32.net
Boardmod: http://unknown.network32.net/phpnuke.zip

Not that this ONLY makes changes to YaBB SE - phpNuke is left alone.  This is done so you can use the YaBBpak Center, which I adore .

My mistake, now fixed.

Tried it at all?  If no one's interested, I won't continue it.

a very cool Idea

It would be very cool, to use only one registration. Without this, something like faBB works better i think.

Please do this mod   I hope you can use same registration for both

the idea is very nice! have u got a Demo place so we can look before installing it?

[andrea]

Wow, thanks [Unknown]. I will test this mod asap.  

[BiErLeEuW]

Demo phpNuke install: http://unknown.network32.net/demos/phpnuke/

Step by step instructions...

1. Install YaBB SE to /modules/Forum normally... with the same username you have for phpNuke.
2. Change you $boardurl to the url of phpNuke.
3. Go to the package manager and install the mod.
4. You'll be logged out.  Don't worry - log back in.
5. Done... they work fine together.  Now just edit the forum template and activate the module.

[Unknown], you're my hero!    

I'm about to go ahead and test it out in the next day or so...I am a diehard YaBB fan, but I've also fallen in love with the diversity and usefulness that the nuke offers.  I run a webmaster message board, and the ability to offer news, industry events, etc., in addition to the forum is something I'd like to do for my members.

Honestly, I've got the nuke installed and ready to go, but have dreaded having to manually re-register all my members (they're spoiled, what can I say..lol!) just so they wouldnt have the cookie/session issues that I experience from time to time from working with the 2 seperate databases.  

I've been practically begging the PHP gods  every day, to be kind, and to send me somebody that would write this script for me!  

I'm curious, though....is it going to be at all possible to import my current board stats/users etc?  or am I gonna have to do a fresh install and start from scratch?  (thats what I'd have to do anyhow, but I want a YaBB, dammit!)

Thanx [Unknown]!  I'll be sure to let ya know how things work out!

Currently, you have to register in both places.... but, as I said - if there are people who want me to continue the mod (such that the same memebr table is used, maybe some other things...) I will....

And you seem to want me to, so I will work on it...

But, you might have to wait a week - I'm going on a weeklong trip in which I won't touch the internet... probably.... I think.

Anyhow, I will work on this when I get back.

Thanks for the encouragement,

I too would like to see more work on this I hadn't known of PhpNuke until I saw this mod out there, but it looks pretty interesting. I'd love to be able to have the two of these together

I'm assuming that the dual registration is when one does a fresh install of the yabb.  that was an issue I faced just about a year ago, the first time I tried to integrate the 2.  But, I had only iframed the current board, not actually made it a nuke module.

Needless to say, that lasted about a minute...as soon as my spoiled-webmaster members started whining about having to login to 2 seperate places plus having to do a new registration for the nuke, I put the project on the back burner, and went back to using just the YaBB.  

The end result was major cookie issues that my non-geeklike members had no clue how to fix...and that in turn made for extremely looong ICQ sessions between my members and myself on how to fix the problem.  But, I live and breathe for them, so I surely didnt mind!  

Since then, I've relentlessly quested for a solution - a solution that wasn't  (no offense folks) an eztarch, a pfabb, a yapp, or a ttcms.  These are all wonderful scripts, but they just dont do everything I need them to...

just like I gotta have my YaBB, I gotta have my nuke, and will wait forever and a day for the integration of the two to happen seemlessly!  

Yes, I certainly would appreciate your continued work on this!  But, take your break from the "evil box" that I'm quite sure you're more than overdue for.  I've waited a year already...waiting one more week or even a month is definately no big thang!

You've taken on quite the challenge, [Unknown]...kudos!  

[PZ]

Yes! Please! I'm just not much of a phpBB forum fan. I had to Iframe my Yabb Board into my Portal

Please continue. I'll be lurking around waiting patiently

[onzinnet]

i'm also very interested. it looks kinda cool to me, because i ador yabb... its so much better than phpbb

[Toon Dawg]

I would definitely be interested in this!!
