[Post-nuke-users] Nuke 4.4x phpBB conversion

[Randy E. <red...@go...>]

    I've done some of searches on PostNuke.Com, but am afraid I might be 
missing something.  I've converted a couple of sites over from PHP-Nuke to 
PostNuke, and now I want to convert my "main" site over.

    This site presently is running PHP-Nuke 4.4 and makes heavy use of 
Nuke's old phpBB forums (I decided not to upgrade rather than run KR's new 
Add-On code).

    A while back I read about a PHP-Nuke 4.4/phpBB conversion script on 
PostNuke.Com, but I'm not sure of its present status.  Could someone fill 
me on on this?  Is this conversion ready for prime time?  Recommended? 
Full of pitfalls?

    Any info on this topic would be greatly appreciated.

[Post-nuke-users] last articles and polls disappeared

[Tomas N. <nek...@ce...>]

Can you please help me? No one did in the forum (that is not available now)
so I post it here.

In admin section I cannost see last articles and polls. It started after
0.62 upgrade nad I thought it would be corrected in 0.63. But it is still
the same. I think it could be somehow conntected with language system.
Language of my site is czech and abbreviation was changed to "ces" with the
rewrite of language system.

Help me please..

There is one more problem. Since upgrade to 0.64 time format in header
displays in english and not in czech. How to fix it?

Best regards

Good call patrick. I'm trying to figure it out right now for a large project
im setting up on postnuke. Once I get 30 or so catagories plugged in i'm not
sure i want to go and change direction. I suppose if anyone wants to see how
I am catagorizing and indexing things the url is www.grape.dyndns.org and i
am open for questions and comments.

: How do you all use topics vs categories?  It seems to me that they are
very

I use topics to seperate the subject of the article, and cats to narrow down
the article.  For example, in the topic Television, I might have cats of
News, Behind the Scenes, Interviews, Screenplays, etc.  Much better then
creating tons of sub-topics for each of these :-)

Now, Sections, I have no clue what purpose they serve, seems the same as
Topics to me.

Re: [Post-nuke-users] PostNuke status after PhpNuke opening development?

[Steven H. <msh...@ya...>]

Fair enough, and what you said makes perfect sense. I
was just afraid postnuke would close up shop shortly
after I launched my site. I'm not a php developer
(yet, although it's not too different from perl) and
hope to eventually contribute code. I want to get my
site up first though.

fwiw, I'm not a registered user on postnuke.com, but
since we're comparing that againse phpnuke, I'll do
that this evening.  Maybe my site, when I launch, will
be listed on the postnuke site!

Re: [Post-nuke-users] PostNuke status after PhpNuke opening development?

[Steven D. <ste...@do...>]

My person view on this is that FB has just glossed over the issue of open
development ,

whats open about stating publically that 'only you' will work on core files
and that 'eventually' you may let your partner 'KR' do a little core files
work ? and his version of 'touching' the code translates to me as he 'cut n
pastes' from someone elses into his own fudge.

to me that still sounds like a development team of ONE ?

and as for the merger with KR's addon , well , i cannot see the point , ok ,
your going to get a portal with lots of gimmicks in it , but imagine the
mess trying to make a personal looking system , or trying to find how its
all tied together,

I hope that no one is offended by my total mistrust of FB , its just that he
allways acts like this , reacting to a threat by offering new option , or
totally closing the site/system , when he couldn't control the masses of
comments on the news group , he killed the group , when people started
voicing opinions on the portal , and there was nothing but bug posts , he
killed the portal , now anon comments are getting out of hand , he kills
anon comments. thousands of calls for CVS , so he eventually opens it with
only FB write access.

even on his website . look at this as an example :-
phpnuke.org     Registered Users:17974     Active Authors:1

your telling me this is a person that has lots of friends and trusts people
or shares leadership , when he has nearly 18k registered users and he cannot
share ANY website responsability or anything that has any control with even
one person.....

look at postnukes:-
postnuke.com   Registered users:863          Active authors:5

see the difference,

I hope postnuke eventually drops phpnuke thinking totally ,

I accept what everyone says about 'we must stay compatable to get users and
to get known' but hey whats wrong with being known for being great,

Did you notice nearly 900 users registered at the postnuke.com website , ok
that doesnt equate to 900 postnuked website installs , but its enough that
the postnuke team should have the confidence to give phpnuke a total miss,
why follow , why stay 100% compatable ,

but to show what i mean go take a look at yahoogroups and take a look at the
numbers, when FB closed the the phpnuke egroup it only had 1452 registsred
members , not many more than postnuke.com has now , so why does it seem to
some like postnuke cannot survive or grow if we loose phpnuke compatability?

with 900 members and countless postnuke installed 'live' sites , it would
take some FB type 'kill it all' madness to fail to grow and survive. whether
postnuke is compatable or not.

FB in my view is just an accomplished script hacker , he takes script a and
script b and makes nuke with em, all upgrades , major alterations are not
born of feature requests or virgin code , as per postnuke seems to be run ,
FB's phpnuke upgrades etc , all only happen when there is a 'working'
example of it somewhere thats 'touchable' into his phpnuke system.

So in short Steve, I cannot control the way Postnuke goes , but i am sat
here fingers crossed that it never merges back with a phpnuke/nukeaddon
clusterf......

[Post-nuke-users] Last articles in admin section dissapeared!

[Tomas N. <nek...@ce...>]

Hello everybody,

I would like to ask you to help me with  my problem:

section dissapeared. How to fix this problem?
Thank you very much for any advice.

[Post-nuke-users] I'm Almost Convinced to Convert.. ;)

[Webmaster F. <web...@fi...>]

Hello All,

Thanks to Harry and Nexia for convincing me to try Post Nuke  ;)

I run a Science Fiction & Fantasy gaming network that currently comprises 11
sites all running Nuke 5 Shared (sharing not only user tables, but links,
downloads and banners).

but...

Nuke has some major flaws, and does not do what I need it to do. I'm also
sick of everytime I add a module having to screw around with all my main
files.. As if you guys read my minds, it appears that all PostNuke modules
are stand-alone..? Can someone confirm that..?

I'm after some volunteers who are willing to help me by writing some new
modules for my Network, primarily:

A Product Database for gaming material
A Product Release Date Module (may be easier to tie it into above database)
A resume/job board module for use by gaming industry freelancers

Of course I have all the specifics and requirements for the above, but no
real clue of where to start.  If the Post Nuke users/developers are more
helpful than the Nuke team, then the full weight of FFN's support will fall
behind you guys.

I'm testing an installation of Post Nuke Mutant 6.2 today, to see whether it
can handle sharing data between my other sites, if it can and I can actually
get a forum to work with the shared user database, then I'll be converting
all current and future FFN sites to PostNuke.

I look forward to hearing from someone  ;)

[Post-nuke-users] Displaying as Arabic?

[Kevin B. <bat...@me...>]

Hey,
	I just installed PostNuke 0.6.2 and it went well.  The only major bug I
am finding, is that it wants to display as Arabic.  In the config.php
file it says:
$language = "eng";
It still desires to be Arabic.  How can I fix this (the lone bug before
I go live).
