PHPNuke to vB Hack

While waiting for 2.0, I've started hacking PHPNuke to integrate with vBulletin. You can look at it at http://www.911pc.com It is very raw and nothing is guaranteed to work. I don't even know PHP, this is just a project to try to learn it a little.

You will have to redo most of templates to call forum.php instead of the index.php if you do it this way??? As I said this is a learning experience.

Well I am creating a second index and not renaming the board index file as I think creating a second index is easyer then renaming the board one.

But I will rename it after I storred the second index.

I'll look at PHP Nuke and see what I can do with that.

You are trying to remove all registering and loggin on PHP Nuke right?
and then replacing it with vBulletin Loggin code and registering?

If so then PHP Nuke will have to be based on the same dir and database right?

Yes, I removed the Nuke user and Sessions tables from the database and then did a install of vB to the same database. Before I ran the Install Template script I did a replace on all instances of index.php with forum.php. Then put the Nuke files in with the vB files, everything is in the same directories for now so Nuke will use the vB cookies. I'll clean it up later.

BTW... Everyone is invited to chime in with suggestions, the blind is leading the blind here.

I will try to do this as well.
May take me a while.

How many PHP Nuke files did you edit?

[i]How many PHP Nuke files did you edit?

Almost everyone will have to be edited, most call the user table and or use cookies. Not a small job! Just deleted the Nuke user.php file, not needed any longer.

You said you ripped out if ($action=="showforums") {

How much of that did you rip out?
Can you post from "something" to "something"?
Should I also rip out the if call?: if ($action=="showforums") {

Between the if ($action=="showforums") {
and the close if bracket }. Replace with what ever code you want on your front page. You'll have to play with it to get it the way you want.

thanks

Suggestion:
When someone submits news it should make a new thread on the forum and when someone makes a comment it should make a reply to the existing thread.

I have to pass on this one.
Its too hard and I dont get it.

That would be cool, but I want to keep the News for News Articles and the forum for discussions and completely separate. The News that I post may well point to a thread, but I'll just use a html link as I need it. I'll be putting the forum threads (Last 10) in one of the side boxes. Otherwise you could use the Weblog code that can be found here on the vB board. Beside's I wouldn't have a clue how to do it. Another way is to use the code that eva2000 uses on his board to display the last 10 postings from the forum.
