There are several topics already posted on this subject. There is definitely interest, but no firm plans yet.

When I installed 2.2 it said that .. well it says this:

Quote:

Your installation does not seem to be up to date. Updates are available for your version of phpBB, please visit http://www.nukeresources.com to obtain the latest version of BBToNuke (the ported version of phpBB files for phpNuke).
The latest available version is phpBB 2.0.23. You are running phpBB 2.0.22.

This forum is still small enough I figured I would see any post about it - but I dont ? I assume all is well - just looking for confirmation.

A new version of phpBB has been released and evaders has provided a BBTONUKE patch to upgrade the forums to the latest phpBB. See the link above for more information.

Okay Thanks. I was asking for confirmation because unless/until Raven and his team have had their way with it - I'm not interested Wink

We are hoping to include the update within a patch release BUT this will be dependant on how much time we have to test it.

Well Evaders is part of the RavenNuke team. Wink

I sent a edited patch over yesterday i believe. I thought you were asking about editing phpbb3 and i am glad it isnt that at all.

uggg... just got done upgrading and installing a few forum mods, now a new phpbb upgrade comes out... Sad

do you know if this is a security, or enhancement release? will the included attachment mod (RN) still work, or be upgraded?

Unfortunately it is both so it really is a 'must-do' but that doesn't mean you have to break your neck getting it done.
Forums MODS have always been problematical which is why we have been reluctant to include then in Raven Nuke as we would in effect be taking over support for them mod.

yes the attachment mod will still work i did the manual code changes from phpbb and there were a few lines that were different but i wouldn't use the manual code changes unless you know what you are doing

Posted: Thu Feb 21, 2008 1:37 am

well i would say i know what I'm doing "most" of the time, at least to some degree Smile

Well not as bad as I thought Smile

I was imagining having to re-do all the work I had just done, but looks as though that won't be necessary... made my way thru almost all of the manual edits for 2.0.23 but had a couple small questions.

THE EDIT FOR:
modules/Private_Messages/index.php Line 740 (last edit)
Only registered users can see links on this board! Get registered or login!

I'm supposed to replace

Code:

else if ( $confirm )

with

Code:

else if ($confirm && $sid === $userdata['session_id'])

The code is a little different in RN, looks like there is something added that performs a similar task?.....

and one more... Smile

THE EDIT FOR:
themes/DeepBlue/forums/admin/styles_edit_body.tpl
Only registered users can see links on this board! Get registered or login!
I'm using the fisubice theme which doesnt appear to have such a page... Looked around and didnt see a comparable page, what should I do here?

Many thanks in advance Smile

the edit for fisubice admin would be modules/Forums/templates/subSilver/admin

Correct, the Private_Messages file was previously fixed for the security issue.
Go ahead and do the edit for this one to match what phpBB released, that way further changes would not be a problem.

styles_edit_body.tpl was a more interface change. Seems they changed some maxlength values, added some class values. I don't think it will affect too much if you don't make this change on every template

Glad that manual change helped someone. You know it took a while to set that script up Wink

Just to be sure, by that you mean for me to remove the session check that was included in RN?

That was awesome Smile

I probably wouldnt have even tried to edit the files at 2am last night if that didn't exist Smile

Thank you.

Correct. Use the change I put on my CVS.
It is changed this way in RavenNuke's SVN repository, I believe to release with RN 2.20.1
