Nuke Platinum to RavenNuke76 Conversion

Hangin' Around Joined: May 30, 2004 Posts: 46

I just converted a nuke platinum site over to RavenNuke76 v2.02.00 and all went smooth. You may need to work on your current theme a little to get it to work with RavenNuke76. You will need a second database.

BACKUP YOUR PLATINUM DATABASE

This is for Platinum v7.6.0, v7.6.0+2, 7.6.b2, 7.6.b3 and 7.6.b4

1. Install RavenNuke76 v2.02.00 in directory called say, portal. Set up the config.php to install into a second database.
2. Using phpMyAdmin go to the Platinum database and Export the Structure and Data of the following tables. If you are not using Polls (Survey), NukeTreasury or Shoutbox don't copy those tables marked with an '*' below.
3. If you are using the NukeTreasury and Shoutbox in Platinum, install NukeTreasury v1.0 and Shoutbox v8.5.2 in RavenNuke76 v2.02.00.

4. Take the above tables and paste them into a txt file. Do a find and replace. Replace `nuke with `1_nuke. Copy all the changed table information.

5. Go to the fresh RavenNuke database and insert the above renamed information from step 4.

6. Download the below file. Upload the dropplat.php file to your server in the directory where RavenNuke is installed. Log into your RavenNuke site as Admin and run the script. You will get some 'failed' if your not using Shoutbox, NukeTreasury or Polls.

Only registered users can see links on this board! Get registered or login!

7. Upload your current Platinum theme to the RavenNuke site or go to database table nuke_config and change Default_Theme to fisubice. This will get you going.

8. Test and setup your RavenNuke76 to make sure everything transferred over correctly.

9. After your satisfied. Change the RavenNuke76 config.php to indicate the old platinum database. Delete ALL the files for the platinum installation and upload ALL the files for RavenNuke76.

10. Go to the platinum database and delete ALL tables. Go to the RavenNuke76 database and export ALL the tables (data and structure). Go back to the original platinum database and insert all the table information from RavenNuke76 database.

If you were using NukeSentinel you may want to copy over these 2 tables from your platinum site.

I take it this assumes you are using 7.6.0 and not 7.6.1, 7.6.2, 7.6.0+2, 7.6.0 beta 2-beta 4?

If someone could PM me with a link/links to download just the sql files for v7.6.1, v7.6.2 and beta 4 I can adjust the script for all versions. I've got the other versions. - Updated: Not Needed

7.6.1 and 7.6.2 are pretty rare. I have them in my collection if you want them

beta 4 is on futurenuke
