Considering 7.2

New Member Joined: Mar 23, 2004 Posts: 21

Normally, I would not consider upgrading yet to 7.2 but I like the idea of the Webmail being removed along w/some other fixes - BUT - My concern on an upgrade would be....

How will this affect a 6.9 and 7.0 (separate sites) that already have the Webmail installed?

Thanx in advance for you input!

When you upgrade, as you know, you overlay the like named files in your site. Since the webmail module is already installed, it remains installed. You can and should imo, just deactivate webmail. You can then drop the tables from the database. Has this answered your question or have I missed the point?

Yes, that does answer my basic question... thank you! But it does prompt another. Since the webmail has been integrated into php nuke system for as long as I can remember; it seems to me that most custom modules that use the Your_Account will have to be adjusted as well, correct?

Finally; if the webmail can be removed when it has previously been 'so' integrated in the nuke system, why is it that I cannot seem to remove all instances of the forum on one of my sites. I know it must be possible.

Ok, I am rambling on now... Thank You - Raven!

Just disable webmain in Preferences. That should disable it completely.

I am not understanding the 'forum' issue. Can you elaborate? if you disable the forum then it should be disabled.

Yes; I do disable and hide any inactive modules from my visitors, such as the forum on my newest nuke site running 7.0.

On the specific website a business training & membership website, I will NEVER be opening or using the forums (along w/other mods) so they are essentially just sitting there taking up server space.

With the forum module being so integrated into nuke; I found it impossible to 'hide' all instances of the forum. My ultimate goal is to completely remove all instances of the forum or any reference to it (ie; in the Your_Account mod) etc.

I hope that explains my 'forums' issue better.

If you mean links to the forum, then yes you will have to hide those. But, if you would just add this line to the first line of code in Forums/index.php after the <? tag

Code:

    Header("Location: index.php");


    die();

that should just bounce them right back if they find an errant link.

Well Now... that makes sense and is a HUGE help!
There is hope in a round about way after all Shocked

Thank You!
