NSN Groups with RavenNuke76 Distro

New Member Joined: Nov 28, 2005 Posts: 7

I see in another post asking for requests on what to include in future releases it is mentioned that.

"Bob Marion does not allow any of his NSN scripts to be bundled with nuke bundles. "

Does this mean you cannot advise on how to get it running with this verson.

I think that 76 Distro is great but would love to get NSN Groups running too.

However the instructions on changing the code have got me puzzled cos some of the things I'm searching for aren't there.

Any advise would be welcome.

Thanks in advance

sure most things are compatible but some arent updated anymore.
Simply because of the released patches etc..
Then its harder to track the included code as it should be edited according to the install files.
Naturaly your free to use nsn groups as you want on your website.
Bob marion is kind of not available at the moment.

I, too, tried awhile back to get it installed on my 7.6 site patched to 3.1 and got all but the block and message maintenance to work. I finally gave up as I don't have alot of time to try and re-code it at the moment. If I get it working at some point, I will post the proper code here or at my site and just reference it here.

I've been working on this too ... the block and message files were tricky then I found that in 7.6 3.1 block.php and messages.php the globals have an $admin_file which is left out in the core file edits for NSN Groups. So, I put them back into those globals manually.

But I'm completely befuddled with the block-modules.php file.... the edit files say

Code:

REPLACE THIS 


$result3 = $db->sql_query("SELECT title, custom_title, view FROM " . $prefix . "_modules WHERE active='1' AND title!='$def_module' AND inmenu='1' ORDER BY custom_title ASC");


    while ($row3 = $db->sql_fetchrow($result3)) {





#


#-----[ REPLACE WITH ]------------------------------------------


#


    $result3 = $db->sql_query("SELECT * FROM " . $prefix . "_modules WHERE active='1' AND title!='$def_module' AND inmenu='1' ORDER BY custom_title ASC");


    while ($row3 = $db->sql_fetchrow($result3)) {


        $groups = $row3['groups'];

And there isn't any such code in my raven's 7.6 3.1 !! What's up with that? When was that block-modules.php file get so drastically changed?

I hope you keep working on it Montego ... this mod makes nuke practically sparkle.

CodyG, Just a guess on my part, but try changing this code

Code:

/* Now we make the Modules block with the correspondent links */


$content .= "<strong><big>&middot;</big></strong> <a href=\"index.php\">"._HOME."</a><br>";


$sql = "SELECT title, custom_title, view FROM ".$prefix."_modules WHERE active='1' AND inmenu='1' ORDER BY custom_title ASC";


$result = $db->sql_query($sql);





while (list($title, $custom_title, $view) = $db->sql_fetchrow($result)) {

to

Code:

/* Now we make the Modules block with the correspondent links */


$content .= "<strong><big>&middot;</big></strong> <a href=\"index.php\">"._HOME."</a><br>";


$sql = "SELECT * FROM ".$prefix."_modules WHERE active='1' AND inmenu='1' ORDER BY custom_title ASC";


$result = $db->sql_query($sql);





while (list($title, $custom_title, $view) = $db->sql_fetchrow($result)) {


$groups = $row3['groups'];

CodyG, you're awesome!!! I had completely missed that and that is exactly why I would be getting the error that I am getting! It is strange, though, because the link in the address bar would show admin.php (I don't bother renaming the admin file because HTTPAuth + patches have been good enough), yet the webserver wasn't finding some file. I'll have to try this again. I still have my edited files saved off...

THANKS!

Actually, I think the following may work better Wink

Code:

/* Now we make the Modules block with the correspondent links */ 


$content .= "<strong><big>&middot;</big></strong> <a href=\"index.php\">"._HOME."</a><br>"; 


$sql = "SELECT * FROM ".$prefix."_modules WHERE active='1' AND inmenu='1' ORDER BY custom_title ASC"; 


$result = $db->sql_query($sql); 





while ($row3 = $db->sql_fetchrow($result)) { 


$groups = $row3['groups'];


$title = $row3['title'];


$custom_title = $row3['custom_title'];


$view = $row3['view'];

The block-modules.php is also the only one that's got me confused.

All the rest are basically straight forward changes.

I would try the mentioned above but there are also 2 more blocks of code below this to change which are also nowhere to be seen.

If anyone has success I would be very greatful to know what they done here.

Cheers

aww... I'm just a humble nuker, not a real programmer. Mostly I guess. But thanks for the kudos anyways. Smile

And even more thanks for the response to my block-modules.php problem.

Just one more cup of coffee on this cold morning ...

I still don't get it. Are you replacing the entire while statement with something else; or adding to it, or is it new? I don't know what this $m_title is all about.
My current snippet which needs Groups edits...

Code:

/* Now we make the Modules block with the correspondent links */


$content .= "<strong><big>&middot;</big></strong> <a href=\"index.php\">"._HOME."</a><br>";


$sql = "SELECT title, custom_title, view FROM ".$prefix."_modules WHERE active='1' AND inmenu='1' ORDER BY custom_title ASC";


$result = $db->sql_query($sql);





while (list($title, $custom_title, $view) = $db->sql_fetchrow($result)) {


        $m_title = $title;


        $m_view = $view;


        if(file_exists("modules/$m_title/index.php")) {


                if (!empty($custom_title) && $custom_title != $m_title && $language === $currentlang) {


                        $m_title2 = $custom_title;


                } else {


                        if (!empty($custom_title)) {


                                $m_title2 = (defined("_".$m_title."LANG"))? (constant("_".$m_title."LANG")) : $custom_title;


                        } else {


                                $m_title2 = (defined("_".$m_title."LANG"))? (constant("_".$m_title."LANG")) : ($m_title2 = str_replace("_", " ", $m_title));


                        }


                }


                if ($m_title != $main_module) {


                        if (file_exists("modules/$m_title/index.php") && ($m_view == 2 OR $m_view != 2)) {


                                $content .= "<strong><big>&middot;</big></strong> <a href=\"modules.php?name=".$m_title."\">$m_title2</a><br>";


                        }


                }


        }


}

exactly... more confuddlemet below the while statement.

I think I need rum in this coffee. Rolling Eyes

Posted: Sat Jan 21, 2006 12:26 am

Think I got most of this... but there is one more I am not sure of. Any ideas?

Code:




#


#-----[ FIND ]------------------------------------------ 


#


       if ((is_admin($admin) AND $view == 2) OR $view != 2) {


      $content .= "<strong><big>&middot;</big></strong>&nbsp;<a href=\"modules.php?name=$m_title\">$m_title2</a><br>\n";


       }





#


#-----[ REPLACE WITH ]------------------------------------------ 


#


            if ($view == 0) {


                $content .= "<strong><big>&middot;</big></strong>&nbsp;<a href=\"modules.php?name=$m_title\">$m_title2</a><br>\n";


            } elseif ($view == 1 AND is_user($user)) {


                $content .= "<strong><big>&middot;</big></strong>&nbsp;<a href=\"modules.php?name=$m_title\">$m_title2</a><br>\n";


            } elseif ($view == 2 AND is_admin($admin)) {


                $content .= "<strong><big>&middot;</big></strong>&nbsp;<a href=\"modules.php?name=$m_title\">$m_title2</a><br>\n";


            } elseif ($view == 3 AND paid()) {


                $content .= "<strong><big>&middot;</big></strong>&nbsp;<a href=\"modules.php?name=$m_title\">$m_title2</a><br>\n";


            } elseif ($view > 3 AND in_groups($groups)) {


      $content .= "<strong><big>&middot;</big></strong>&nbsp;<a href=\"modules.php?name=$m_title\">$m_title2</a><br>\n";


       }

Thanks in advance,

The latest version of RN76 includes Groups so perhaps it might be possible to 'borrow' that file from the distro.

Went the easy route... uploaded RN76...

suddenly I just had flashbacks to Interstate 76...
