The new admin file renamablility will bring a nice layer of security to nuke. So that means all the developers out there will be recoding their stuff for 7.6. Here is a nice way to keep those scripts compatible with previous versions of nuke:

This line in particular will make it backward compatible:

Code:

if ($admin_file == '') { $admin_file = 'admin'; }

At the top of the admin file for your script, have this code:

Code:

global $prefix, $db, $admin_file;


if ($admin_file == '') { $admin_file = 'admin'; }


if (!eregi("".$admin_file.".php", $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'])) { die ("Access Denied"); }


$aid = substr("$aid", 0,25);


$row = $db->sql_fetchrow($db->sql_query("SELECT radminsuper FROM " . $prefix . "_authors WHERE aid='$aid'"));


if ($row['radminsuper'] == 1) {

At the top of the case file for your script, have this code:

Code:

global $admin_file;


if ($admin_file == '') { $admin_file = 'admin'; }


if (!eregi("".$admin_file.".php", $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'])) { die ("Access Denied"); }

At the top of your links file for your script, have this code:

Code:

global $admin_file;


if ($admin_file == '') { $admin_file = 'admin'; }


if (!eregi("".$admin_file.".php", $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'])) { die ("Access Denied"); }
