yet another patching question

Regular Joined: Apr 23, 2005 Posts: 95

been a while since i used phpnuke.
well right now, i just did a clean install of phpnuke 7.9
but i forgot to patch it. and i have some data on it already.

just a quick one..
would be patching it delete the stuff i've already fixed?

so far there are forum posting, new blocks, and stuff

reason why i want to patch is,... i cant add img src tags on the blocks . which is weird, i tried adding it in config.php

Code:

$AllowableHTML = array("b"=>1,"i"=>1,"strike"=>1,"div"=>2,"u"=>1,"a"=>2,"em"=>1,"br"=>1,"strong"=>1,"blockquote"=>1,"tt"=>1,"li"=>1,"ol"=>1,"ul"=>1);

this is the default one.. but i tried doing "img src"=>1 and my site would load.. any suggestions?

thanks

well as you said i just did a clean install of phpnuke 7.9 , i assumed you mean JUST NOW..
but ok....

but as far as patching goes....
you only delete stuff you edited in files...not in the database...

but seriously,just installed ...a few posts and blocks...
iwhy not install ravennuke while its still easy.

The correct thing to add to that array is "img" => 2.

So it should look like this:

Code:




$AllowableHTML = array("b"=>1,"i"=>1,"strike"=>1,"div"=>2,"u"=>1,"a"=>2,"em"=>1,"br"=>1,"strong"=>1,"blockquote"=>1,"tt"=>1,"li"=>1,"ol"=>1,"ul"=>1, "img"=>2);

You'll have fewer headaches with RavenNuke... Wink

would love to use ravennuke... but isnt it 7.6 ? im using 7.9 at the moment

Yes you are correct it is 7.6. It is a much more secure php-nuke than the 7.9 version. It is well documented here and won't post again why. There are posts on how to downgrade your 7.9 database to 7.6.

If this is a brand new installation of 7.9, as the others above have advised you to do, highly recommend removing the 7.9 and installing RN. The security of RN alone is worth it.

If you are thinking that 7.9 is much better because it is newer, do a search for the above mentioned posts which may enlighten you to why it is not recommend to use, even with patches and Sentinel installed. Hope this helped you.

I've used both 7.9 and RavenNuke. There really isn't that much of a difference between 7.6 and 7.9. RavenNuke features many things already installed for you (Sentinel, Groups, etc) plus a fantastic WYSIWYG editor (that is far superior to the TinyMCE crap that comes with 7.9). Try it, you'll like it... Wink

thanks for the info guys.. I want to install RavenNuke now. I have already downloaded it. So far I dont have phpnuke 7.9 installer, I used fantastico that came with my hosting. I've found the 7.8-7.6 downgrader, but nothing for 7.9. Can I use the same script?
