After many weeks of careful assembling and testing, I am now making available phpNuke v7 - Customized - for download. This distribution is 99% pure virgin nuke v7 from the author, FB. I have applied all the known security fixes, as well as several code corrections. In addition I have pre-installed several highly requested add-ons. Additionally, I have created an SQL Installer that should help ease the pain for most of you. All of this has undergone rigorous testing under both Windows and Linux. I will support this in my forums as I do all releases of Nuke, but as it is basically the v7 release from the author, I take no responsibility for supporting it as my application. All upgrades, etc., are still the responsibility of you :).

This release is for a virgin installation, not an upgrade. Once I'm comfortable with the stability I may release an upgrade SQL package. Read on for what is included in this package.

Admin Note: To keep the harvesters away you must be a member to download this one. And a special thanks to the many of you who tested and contributed to the quality assurance of this release. There may still be issues, but this is a much cleaner release than any of the originals!

Admin Note 1/23/2004: When downloading you may notice that you are downloading from sites other than my site. Several others have graciously allowed me to use their sites as a mirror. I have a routine that rotates the d/l site based on a weighting. However, if the download did not originate here then it is cannot be guaranteed to be mine.Added an Intelligent SQL Installer. It is in the sql folder but can be placed anywhere. Operational information is contained in the file.

modules/Forums/avatars: Added hundreds of avatars to several subfolders.

modules/Downloads/index.php has been modified. Code has been added to allow the restricting of certain downloads to members only when anonymous downloading is allowed. This hack of mine is a code only hack and no database modifications are required. Also, code added that allows you to restrict downloads to registered users only but the downloads are available for viewing to all visitors. Note that this is a rewrite from my earlier released hack.

=================================================================================
modules/Your_Account/index.php has been modified. Code has been added to allow the automatic registering of people. The original index.php file has been renamed and can easily be restored. To activate the autoActivation functionality, simply change the setting $autoActivate = FALSE; to $autoActivate = TRUE; in modules/Your_Account/index.php. Note that this is a rewrite from my earlier released hack.
Chatserv's Avatar Control Panel code has been merged in
