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.

!!!!!!!!!!!!

How'd you get the vB login boxes on the front page??

and the online users bit?

The active users thing was posted before by Eva2k or TT

<?
require("admin/config.php");

$db=mysql_connect($servername,$dbusername,$dbpassword);
mysql_select_db($dbname);

$action = mysql_query("SELECT s.userid, u.username FROM session s, user u WHERE u.userid=s.userid");

while (list($userid, $username) = mysql_fetch_row($action)) {
echo "<a href=\"member.php?getinfo&userid=$userid\">$username</a>";

}

?>

Oh wait vBoard!

That code up there is only for showing logged in users.. not the total members & guests viewing.

Can you give us that code too wajones?

thanks in advance wajones

Basically I just started with the vB index.php and stripped out the show forum stuff and added the PHPNuke stuff, copied the login and activeuser templates, rearraged and renamed them, then called them by their new names from the new index page. It's all pretty sloppy right now, but thats all I basically did. Keep it in the same directory as your real vB index that you rename something like forum.php ...

Like I said I really don't know what I'm doing, but I'll be happy to share my misfortunes as I go. Even though the hackers here will probably laugh now and then!!!!

I'm just practicing trial and error until it works, I may buy a book some day????

The hard part is stripping out all the PHPNuke user stuff and putting in vB stuff, Nuke isn't put together very consistantly, every file seems to be different to some degree. It's basically a bunch of hacks by other people put together.

Of course it's easy to critique someone elses work, but I could never do it from scratch!!

I will try to see if I can do something like this.

If you rename the board's index.php doesn't that affect anything?

Yes, you will have to either keep all the index calls such as the signup, login, showsmilies etc. in the new index or rename every call to index.php thru out vb to call the new forum.php.

It's easier to leave everything you can in the new index.php... and just replace the " if ($action=="showforums")" stuff with you own code and make new templates. Then when ever vB makes a call to index.php it's there for it.
