Ok so I patched phpNUKE 7.5 to patched 3.1. I got all the small things fixed. The blocks now show up on the right hand side. ECT ECT ECT. The one thing I can not get done is the forums. They work but I cannot get to the admin page. If I click the link it shows a blank white page. Any suggestions? I've tried overwritting all the files for the forum module. It still doesn't do it right. the website is

The first thing to try, open the forum's config.php file and change its contents to:

Code:

<?php

define('PHPBB_INSTALLED', true);

?>

Ok did it still have the problem though. I'm sure this could become a quickly complex thing so chatserv if you'd like I can grant you admin abilities and what not so you can see how things are and what not. Let me know. Oh I won't be around until late tonight or early tomorrow just let me know what you think or continue with suggestions.

I just joined this site so I could post that EXACT same question.

Fresh install
phpnuke 7.5
chatserv patch 3.1
nsn your account 750_330

I placed a line of text at the bottom of the modules/forums/admin/index.php and it did return a parse error. At least I know that file is running.

I wiped everything clean and doanloaded Nuke 7.5 Final from your site. Installed with clean database and everything works. As soon as I install NSN_Your_Account_750_330 none of the admins buttons work after that. It says illeagal file or something. I just simple want the features from the NSN You Account is to limit the themes and mail hack it. It's also nice to search by it.
Any recommendations as to what else provides these features?

this is a pagestart.php problem. In modules/Forums/admin/pagestart.php find:
Code:
if (!defined('IN_PHPBB'))
{
die("Hacking attempt");
}

define('IN_ADMIN', true);

and after add:
Code:
define('FORUM_ADMIN', true);

I think that the bbtonuke2.0.12 upgrade assumes that chatservs 2.9 patches are installed and the patches include the line I told you to add.

Same problem here, nuke 7.5 fresh install, patched to 3.1 with no other modifications whatsoever. Forum worked fine, patched, now I'm unable to get to forum admin panel.. blank page.

I've seen quite a few fixes with the information above, and this version appears to already have those in it.. ie defining FORUM_ADMIN fixes.

This worked for me, thank you very much!
