*vb+php-nuke hack*

[w4u]

OK, what i've made:
-----------------------------
hacked 3 vb files, so when user registers, changes his info, or admin is adding user, changes user info, deletes it- all this information goes
into nuke_users table too. and when user changes info in nuke, same info goes into vb's user table (i included php-nuke 5.5 hacked Your_account/index.php)
-----------------------------

note: this hack is running in my site, without any problem :)

btw, i included small install script, which transfers vbulletin users to php-nuke users table

more info in file.........

-----------------------------
Questions? Suggestions?

tested on 2.2.5 too :)

[Floris]

I think a lot of users can really use this ! Nice work man :) Thank you for sharing.

[w4u]

it's just a small step into full nuke and vb integration
(latest nuke+latest vb)

:)

[E]

what does it do... wats the point of the nuke table?

[w4u]

vb and nuke uses diff. users tables (vb- users; nuke- nuke_users)

[trainer]

are we talking vb in one database and nuke in another or both in the same?

[w4u]

currently it supports only one db. if you want to use 'em you must add several lines, so that vb 'll write user info and to other db.

[PBC]

There's already a portal out there that uses the PHPNuke engine and is completely compatible with vB.

It can be found here:
http://www.phpportals.com

[Kumaro]

hey i'm using phpnuke 5.3 > will it work? and also, is the database of users merged or wut?

[Sigon]

Yes that portal costs money if you want help and its called vBportal. At least phpnuke is always coming out with different modules and such. Yeah they aren't the best with releases but hey it works better than vBportal I think. Great hack man nice work.

[w4u]

to pbc: vbportal? :) it based on nuke :) (not the latest version). and, yah- news as threads.... sorry it's not for me. what else?
will you get FULL nuke power? nope nope nope
-----------------------------
to kumaro: i worked with 5.5, so there is only it's Your_Account/index.php file (btw, test it with 5.3 by yourself)
-----------------------------
db's are not merged- point is when user or admin from vb or nuke changes profile- all this info goes TO nuke AND vb tables.

[Marshalus]

vBPortal will always be my weapon of choice, but this hack is very nice too, I was looking for something like it before I found vBPortal and invested $20 in that ;)

[DemiNeo0101]

ohhh. nice :)
I can't wait till i find out how to get the vbb inside the phpnuke :)

[dyt4]

great work

thx ;)

[tpearl5]

This is what I've done with vBP: http://degster.com/midi/

I have no complaints, except for the way some of the templates are setup.

So... if there was another version out there specifically for phpnuke with vB I'd go for it.

[WonderBoy]

Has anyone got this to work with vbb 2.2.6 and postnuke?

What addition lines of coding do I need? I have PHP-Nuke 5.5 and VB 2.2.6

[Lethal]

so does this work or what? Do you mean you can use phpnuke to power your site and still have vb for the forums and when a user signs up, does it sign them up for the site and the forums at the same time? If so that would be sweet that is what i am looking for........I was going to use vbportal but if this works, I would rather use phpnuke. Let me know.

[ManagerJosh]

I think this allows a user to register at one place but registered them for both places.

[[hhhh]]

how i can creat module of phpnuke for vbb forum ????

[filth]

Hi

I have been trying for days to get this information but does this hack work on vb2.2.6 and phpnuke 5.6.

If not what extra do I have to do (I wish too know before I embark on it)

Cheers in advance

Peter

[bonnmac]

These are the messages I get when I run the install script.... Any ideas? Thanks :)

[Lethal]

well i am very dissappointed in vbportal so I hope this hack works. Can anyone tell me if this hack truly works and works well on vb 2.2.6 please. I guess I am just going to have to use this and php nuke.

[Lethal]

bump, does this work?

[big_cheese]

what lines do I have to add if I would like to have the VB and Nuke DB separte db's?

[DrkFusion]

Lol...was this abandoned...I do not know how to integrate the vb into the module?blah=Forum

so I just moved my forum files into that modules/Forum

lol, it worked too

[Zachariah]

Well I know i am not the guru in PHP and code ... but I got a test server up and will try this out with Nuke5.6 & VB2.6.

ill give ya some info as i get it :D

[big_cheese]

alright well let us know beacuse I have 5.6 and 2.2.6 and Im not sure if it will work. God bless us :P

[dreamhost]

haven't tried this particular hack, but his concept will work. I use postnuke .714 with encompass, and vbulletin 2.2.6 on my website http://www.annointed.net
The idea of having one database is the way to go. We personally use a custom "bridge" to integrate users etc. Basically on our site you register using vb process, which in turn sets user in pn db, and sets the session. At this point we have merged all user db, with the exception of our custom pm and buddy system. That is next. But basically one login, after registration process, through postnuke, and your in both. The only glitch I have that I see, is you don't show logged into vb untill you refresh the forum one time, then your set perfectly. Still working that display bug out.
Our key was writing a bridge, so that neither pn, nor vb db is effected, making upgrades no problem.
I applaud the author of this module, it is not easy, took us weeks, to get our program to work smoothly.

[YodaX]

so anyone tried this with 226 and 5.6?

[JoshFink]

Instead of everyone askin if this work with so and so, why not try it. If you get error messages try to figure out where they are coming from and tweak it.

It's easier to do this than keep asking.

Josh

[YodaX]

I tried it but the server is so slow, If someone let me use a server or a subdomain for a day I could get it going.!

[nghiasi]

lol, Why you or everyone ask would it work> That is a very different and hard question, You will never knwo if it work or not until you try it. Even someone got it work,,,,,, will it work in your server,,,,,,, so the answer is Try it :)

anyway Thanks.
I can use this method to transfer and convert other portal
to cms with VB Thanks.!

[YodaX]

Okay it works I tried it with 5.6 and 2.2.6!

[meteore]

will it works with postnuke ?

[dadymac]

worked like a charm, took some tweaking if you have heavily modded php nuke, cuz now it points to the vbulletin db, its not hard at all to figure out.

i did this with phpnuke 5.2 and vbulletin 2.2.5, and then it still let me upgrade to 5.6, so all i can say is great hack.

[ManagerJosh]

Does it convert all the current Nuke users into vb users? or vice versa?

[dadymac]

copies current vbb users to nuke ones.

[ManagerJosh]

Does anyone have a script that retains my current users, but merges them both into the nuke and vb database?

I have a few thousand users in my nuke db and I don't want to loose them compared to my 200 something users registered in vb.

I don't wnat to loose my vb users nor my nuke users. Suggestions anyone?

[KC8SHP]

I"m curious about people's issues with vbportals? I run it on my site and it runs beautifully.... I love having my news forum show up on my homepage and having the latest post show up on my homepage as quick links to them post. If someone can get Postnuke to do this, I MIGHT consider switching. It would be even better if it would work between two databases. Then I could run Post off of my other server and keep my forums on the server they are registered to....

Just by making one site's users automatically part of a certain user group, it would be easy to create forums only they can see... I'm rambling... Shutting up now LOL...

Chip

[ManagerJosh]

Probably the new vb CMS will be able to do what you ask, but not sure.


I think the biggest issue people have with vBPortal is the cost... :rolleyes:

[ManagerJosh]

PHP-Nuke 6.0 came out and Your_Account/index.php has been changed a lot this time.

I'll see if I can redo the hack for that page, but not sure :(.

[Bloodfist]

I installed it on 6.0, and right after running the queries, am beginning to get these errors;

Warning: mysql_fetch_row(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in /home/worldof/public_html/v2/includes/sql_layer.php on line 301

[Bloodfist]

Never mind, I got the last problem fixed. But, I need the usercp for nuke thing fixed.

If anyone has any ideas, please post em.

[ManagerJosh]

I rewrote the Your_Account Module to meet the specifications of the original author while retaining all of the 6.0 features.

I'll be testing it in a few days so not sure how it will turn out..


Wish me luck :)

[Bloodfist]

Good luck man :)

[mewgood]

so does it work with php-nuke 6.0?

[ManagerJosh]

No. Your account/index.php was changed in PHP-Nuke 6.0 and will require some rewriting.

[mewgood]

can anyone rewrite it?
Please?

[ManagerJosh]

I'm working on one however I'm running into huge problems (considering I use two different databases for vB and PHP-Nuke)

[Bloodfist]

Just transfer it. TAkes like 2 minutes ..

[mewgood]

great
hope you can finish it asap

[ManagerJosh]

Keeping two databases helps especially when it comes to backing up. Keeps things organized.

Also if I get w4u's permission, I'll publish the updated version here

[mewgood]

cool
hope you will psot it asap

[mewgood]

anyone have it work on php-nuke 6?

[Asso]

no, i'm waiting for a relase that works under nuke 6.0 and vB 2.2.7

[mewgood]

ya
me too!!!!

[Asso]

the script rulez a lot!! :)

i'm really happy for this great integration ;)

[mewgood]

I need it with phpnuke 6.0

[Bloodfist]

.....

[raybyrd]

hows the re-write of the your account going any progress or is it not worth it?

[Bloodfist]

Also, do you think you'll easily be able to do this for vBulletin 3?

[SilverBoy]

I wanna ask ..
I integrated y vb and phpnuke databases, but there is some thing missed, how I can give my users the ability to login and logout in the same time in vb and phpnuke .
I mean if a user make login in vb the script must logged him automatically in phpnuke and same when he loggedin in phpnuke he must loggedin in vb in the same time ..

I wish I explained my idea in right way .. sorry for my bad english ..
and thx for advance ..

ciao .. :cool:

[Mythril]

we need one with PHP-NUKE 6 and VB 2.2.9, IF anyone can make it, it would help us a lot. :)

We want it to work for 2.9! ;)

[jimmy mac]

dear god, if someone re-wrote this for nuke 6.0 and vBulletin 2.2.8 or 2.2.9 and eventually 3.0 i would be one of the happiest dudes alive. this is a great hack and is much needed!

[BladesM3]

for all those with nuke 6.0. Install it the way it says, then remove 'your account' from the modules section and edit in your theme.php the link for 'your account' or add one and have it point to the 'user cp' in vbull.

modules/Vbull/usercp.php?s=

that way users edit their information via vbull not nuke. it works fine for me now.

[BladesM3]

also i then edited the 'whose online' block and added 'http://www.yoursite.com/modules.php?name=Your_Account&op=logout' link so users can og out when they want.

[SHalliday]

Does anyone have a site integrated with php-nuke 6.5 and Vb 2.2.9 that we can view how the integration works?

[Mythril]

Well now Nuke 6.5 and vb 2.3.0 are out. BladesM3 I will try what you did. Thanks

[wooolF[RM]]

]After using PHPNUKE for over 1 year I can say this : It's nothing compared to LDU! Period!

Here's the link : http://ldu.neocrome.net

Now call me spammer, flame me etc, I would just love it :)

Cheers

[SHalliday]

I got it working on Nuke 5.6 and vb 2.2.9 with no problems. My only concerns now to figure out is:

1. How to integrate the logins. so when you login to one you are logged into both and visa versa. (Any thoughts?)

2. Merging the account info data somehow for user template changes. (If you redirect the "Your info" in nuke then you won't be able to affect changes to your styles for nuke, etc). Guess you could add those links directly to another module and place on the main nuke page somewhere.

GREAT HACK Though..

BTW I'm using Vb / Photopost / php-nuke and all are integrated now.. Photopost authenicates to the VB user db and this hack for php-nuke.. what a wonderful combination.

[SHalliday]

Ok I upgraded to version 6 and boom it quit. Anyone got this working yet? :( I'm trying to go through and figure out the changes but nada yet.

[X PsychoTron X]

Has anyone got a hack like this that will work with nuke 6 and vB 2.2.9? At the moment I have my site set up with those and it would be awesome if the user accounts could be linked so people didn't have to register twice, once for the main site and once for the forums. If anyone here can help me out it would be much appreciated. :)

[Mythril]

I guess I will have to try it, I'll let you guys know if it will work.

[X PsychoTron X]

I talked to w4u the other day and he says that someone posted a version of this hack that works with php nuke 6 on his forums. They are down right now though, so I hope he opens them back up soon. :D

[Mythril]

Well vb 2.3.0 is out so hopfully that and nuke 6 work out.

First of all, vbportal is free. The second laugh is that I guess $20 to have a LOT of amazing features, far more than vblite or vbhome whatever it is, is too much for a donation is laughable! I've been fortunate to work with those guys at phpportals and my web site is nice and doesn't even use half the power...

I'm working on this hack but not one that just registers. It's not as easy as one hopes which is why it isn't out just yet.

[Mythril]

Thanks slinky for posting. I hope yours will be better :)

[slinky]

Looking at 6.5 I'm not sure what to do. It seems like FB has created a huge mess with the phpBB2 forum integration. I'm not sure what will be done for 7.0 so investing all the time in hacking something also comes down to what in the world I really want to use. I'm not sure Nuke is the answer any more although i'm not sure what else is good that is out there. What a bummer.

I'm afraid I have to agree with you, FB tied phpBB in too much with 6.5 so I think it's a lost cause :disappointed: I'm not at all impressed with phpBB being included as I need subforums & attachments! I'll be sticking with 6.0 for now! He should have included phpBB as a MOD & not integrated the forums with everything else!

I have phpnuke6.0 tweaked the way I like it & I just bought VB yesterday so I'm going to try get VB working with phpnuke 6.0.
Is there a download for the phpnuke 6.0 + VB2.3 integration or do I have to hack w4u's hack that he released for nuke 5.5 at the beginning of this thread almost a year ago?????
I know people have got it working with Nuke6.0 but I cant see any downloads or instructions for doing it..
Any replies at all would be appreciated.

Thanks

I just decided to go with vB portal, it is capable of all the things php nuke can do. I just couldn't get anyone to help me adjust the hack for php nuke 6, and unfortunately I couldn't do it on my own.

[slinky]

I don't think I'm going to use PHPNuke 6. I was thinking of 6.5 but it's going to hell. If I'm going to do integration it will likely be with something more stable and has more promise in the future. pmachine is one (but it's very simple) but it is much better than phpnuke in all facets.

Sometimes you get what you pay for and I just don't think it's worth spending hours, days, weeks on nuke which is really going nowhere fast. It's too bad but FB seems to be in his own little development world, the Club, and everything else. I understand his need to make some money but this is a bad way to go about it and now 6.5 is about as buggy and confused as it gets.... and 6.0 did have a LOT of promise... oh well.

I would go with vbportal. I've been using it and it is excellent. My needs though are for something a bit heavier although it will do everything Nuke could basically do and a heck of a lot more.

You might want to check out this (http://ldu.neocrome.net/index.php) php content manager. I wondered across it the other day and it looks pretty cool. Although I'm just planing on using vBportal on the site I'm working on at the moment.

[slinky]

Land Down Under contains a line of the license that is not appealing.

"Only limitation is that you may not distribute any modified core code without written consent from Neocrome."

This means that if you write hacks to the system you cannot share them with anyone else or distribute/pass on along these changes to clients for packages you buy. It looks nice from the design but I have no idea what the back end is. The forums appear acceptable but I'll have to take a better look. Regardless, I don't think this is geared as a CMS as much as a Nuke copy. PHPPortals still seems to be the best bet.

[bharvey42]

Yet another reason to move to PostNuke

[amp2000]

I had a look at vbPortal & I cant really say I'm impressed, it's not bad though.
I need this working with phpnuke 6.0 so when a user logs into nuke they are also logged into the vBulletin forums & vice versa.
I checked out ManagerJosh's site worldsims.org & he's done it, I registered & when I updated my profile in vb, it updated my profile in phpnuke & vice versa...
If I can get manager josh to tell me how he done it I'll post instructions for doing it here.

Cheers

[Mythril]

thanks guys I am waiting a long time for this, so hopefully we can get it

[M.C.]

is it work with last VB (2.3.0) and last PHP-Nuke (6.5)???

[mandirt]

I got all of the users imported, and when I use a new test account, it works fine between both vb and the nuke.

However, if i try to log in with any of the old accounts, the nuke side doesn't recognize the user. I tried changing the user groups, but that didn't work. Any ideas? Thanks!!

Edit: Using nuke 5.5 and Vb 2.3.0

[slinky]

I decided to dump all the nukes and buy myself a true CMS. I cannot tell you how happy I am.

[mandirt]

What are you using?

[croft]

Ok did you guys get it to work with nuke 5.5 or 6.0 and vb2.3.0 ?
If so how did you do it and how much editing was done to the original hack on this thread ?

[slinky]

I dumped nuke altogether which is a pain and now a total dead end thanks to FB closing the project. I knew that would happen eventually because he closed the open source dev from the beginning and now it looks like nuke is on its way out.

I have been using NePHP and the time it saves is well worth the money (given the hours, days, weeks of bloody nuke frustration and limitations, moduling, etc.). It fully integrates vbulletin which is fantastic and also allows you to put in custom PHP code as well, all different kinds of ranking for articles, autoarchiving and other cool stuff. I sold a domain and have an extra licenses that I'm selling for $295 ($500 regularly) and includes a free upgrade to version 5. Right now it is far better than the limited competition.

[bharvey42]

For those of you stuck with your PHP-Nuke sites there will be a great vBulletin PostNuke integration soon.

Stay tuned.

[suewh]

how soon?

[slinky]

I used to work with PostNuke and with several others (you can see my credits) and can only say that the "dream integration" that all of these Nuke sites promise is not nearly what it is cracked up to be. Most want the "I don't want to mess with it superpackage" but they just aren't there, especially after fiddling with what you have for a few months. Best is to make the investment in what you want to accomplish.

Having a real publishing package and the ability to place vBulletin posts on other pages is all you need. So if you want a very clean (not nuke like jumbles and blocks) interface which is much more flexible, if you have a good CMS, you can easily put VB components where you like them such as the latest posts that were made and the ability to see the latest comments too.

My site is super clean and many wonder how it's so well integrated and easy to use. It is just a product of having really good essential components where they are and only "integrating" areas where needed. Total cost of all the components is under $400 and you can keep it $190 for the most part. If you add up all the frustrating hours of fiddling and dealing with failings of nuke, you will easily realize that you wasted away chunks of your life and time when you could be earning much more money than what you spent.

well it depends on what sort of integration people wants. For me, all I use is a simple user integration I recoded and it works quite well, least to say.

[slinky]

What I'm saying is that for an online portal, e-zine or whatever application, the Nuke family of product is far inferior from a performance, presentation and administration standpoint than other products. You may say "well I'm happy with what I have" until one day you realize that you've pulled the wool over your eyes because you thought that simplicity was best. When you look around and take just a little effort (I'm not even a developer), you can create sites that will look better, last longer, and be easier to handle than any of the Nukes, including Postnuke.

I'm not sure what "integration" means. With a true CMS, e.g. miraserver and others, you can administrate news pages easily, they can look wysiwyg, advanced multiple pagination, and also have all your articles published right into vBulletin 3 if you want. Care to create a thread for articles? That's already done for you. Want to have user posts appear on the front page? No problem. Even better, you can have a vBulletin thread dedicated to every "news article" or "story" that you publish rather than that string of nonsense called 'comments' that is held in Nuke. But I'm simplifying things. Yes, postnuke, php-nuke (still more support), and more nukes can be used but after seeing the light, I'd never go back.

Conclusion: For those of you starting out wanting to create your own portal, go to sitepoint, devarticles, or whatever popular web creation community and ask people what they are using. It will carry you much further than a nuke-based solution that continues to have enhancements layered on top of mediocrity... IMHO of course. :)
