Where would i download that at?
And does it come with a "How to install" or is it quite simple?

Oh yeah, off the topic.
Where would i get those blocks that make you put in a code like when you log into this site? where you have to put int your username password and code?

Thanks again!

Is this a joke ?
If you cant answer the question you have yourself you would probably gonna have more problems on the way....lol

Ok simple....
The forum block is here :
http://www.ravenphpscripts.com/modules.php?name=Downloads&d_op=ns_getit&cid=7&lid=86&type=url#get

The login isnt an issue here.
You already have that login block in your phpnuke.
All you have to do is activate it in your admin / blocks configuration.

Is what a joke?
I am new to php...

I already have the login block activated, but mine dosent have the "Enter code" like this website has, it has the normal username password etc. but i wanted to add the part where you have to put in the code thats in the pic also.

in the config.php file you see on top a few choices...
have you set that?
Looks like this :

Code:




0: No check


1: Administrators login only


2: Users login only


3: New users registration only


4: Both, users login and new users registration only


5: Administrators and users login only


6: Administrators and new users registration only


7: Everywhere on all login options (Admins and Users)


NOTE: If you aren't sure set this value to 0





And then a litle bit lower you set this:





$gfx_chk = 0;

Set it for example.. 7

I mean block...
I installed it as it stated, and it comes up on my webpage, but it dosent list any of my forums, so i posted a few things in my forums and they wont come up in the block...

Whats your website..?

Posted: Thu Sep 15, 2005 8:23 am

Its www.hackmygame.com, then click on "Test Site"
How do i get it so that Nukephp comes up right off the bat, so that i dont have to have people click on "Test Site"..

Or just make it so they type www.hackmygame.com and it dosnet redirect them to www.hackmygame.com/php-nuke/?

Thanks again!

best thing is to go into your ftp.
then select all files and folders you see...
then give the ftp command "move" and give in the proper directory.
it will show now...Example....public_htm/PHP-Nuke/
change that to public_htm/
then start the command,the whole site will be transfered then..

Ok perfect I will try that tonight, any ideas on why the forums thing is not working? I tried 2 of the blocks, and they do the same thing, they display, but with nothing in them..

Posted: Thu Sep 15, 2005 10:52 am

Do you think it could be because i dont have 20 posts yet?

Posted: Thu Sep 15, 2005 12:06 pm

well there are a few things you should know...
first...i dont think your using ravens collapsable forum block...cause that doesnt scroll that way..
second...your forum is set to members only...
if your block picks up that setting then its normal you dont see anything...
so.....set your forum module to view ALL
Then in your forum administration set the forums to the restrictions you want..
your address woulds be ..modules/Forums/admin/index.php
but first set your forum mod to view ALL

Ok, i set the forums to be seen my all, but it didnt fix it. i made it so the block can be seen by all, and the modual "Forums" to be seen my anyone.

I dont understand in where in my forums administation panel i change that.

I want anyone to see the list of the top 5 forums that are going on, not the content of the forums, just like the subject of the forums who made it etc.

But when they click on it, they have to be a subscribed user to get into the forums where when you click on those it leads.

Ok i reloaded back up Ravens Scroller..
His works fine,...
But i just wanted one that displays 4 or 5 of the last forums all at once, it dosent need to scroll or anytyhing, plus i think the box makes my page way to big, and it kicks it off to the left some..

Do you think there is a way to only show the top 5 posters?

Thanks again!

welltake a look in the block and see if you can set some stuff,i dont know of raven included any pre-settings..
the block itself looks ok,no problem...
but take out the other forum block first..

Posted: Thu Sep 15, 2005 2:21 pm

Ok i took it out, but its still to large..
Its a nice block

But i dont really need that much info, i just need it simple showing maybe top 4 or 5 posters, actually i dont even need that.

or basiclly just show the last 5 forums in a list..

Posted: Thu Sep 15, 2005 2:39 pm

well it goes a lot faster if you send me a temporary ftp login..

Posted: Thu Sep 15, 2005 2:44 pm

i sent you info in pm

Posted: Thu Sep 15, 2005 2:54 pm

You want me to transer the site to http://hackmygame.com ?
instead of http://hackmygame.com/PHP-Nuke/ ?

Posted: Thu Sep 15, 2005 3:02 pm

yes please

Posted: Thu Sep 15, 2005 3:06 pm

done....
also the block is replaced with the original block i had of raven before he made it bigger..
its set to 5 posts..
