Sommaire Parametrable for RavenNuke(tm)

registered · Posted: Tue Oct 20, 2009 5:07 pm

I have been working on the Sommaire menu today and have it ready for some testers to see how it works.

So far I have

Modified block to make XHTML 1.0 Transitional compliant.

Replaced deprecated ereg and eregi with the Perl-compatible preg family.

Modified admin to function correctly with RavenNuke(tm) including with the CSS themes.

Modified installer to work with RavenNuke(tm)

Anyone that wants a copy can get it here Only registered users can see links on this board! Get registered or login!

Throw me some feed back on how it works for you.

nuken. I love the way you treat phpnuke( very serious). I will test it today. 1000 Thanks.

Edited

Nuken, I was right about how you treat files on phpnuke. I love that. The module is working so good. Wink

I would like to have a copy of RavenNuke in html. You are the only who has that. Is it possible to have it in html?

@ nuken - you may want to liaise with montego as I think he already produced an XHTML complaint block etc as he's been using it on his site for a long time.

Thanks Guardian, I wasn't aware that he did. Unicornio, the html is by ShortLinks, it come preinstalled on RavenNuke.

Nuken, I guess u misunderstood. I was talking about RavenNuke( the whole nuke in html). You are the only who has that nuke in html. Can u share it. I used to work with html.

My site is not html, it's php. I use the ShortLinks to tap my links and rewrite them to have a html address. ShortLinks comes with RavenNuke(tm) and has to be activated in the rnconfig.php and also must have the .htaccess replaced with the contents of the ShortLinks.htaccess that also comes with RavenNuke.

From the RavenNuke wiki:

Quote:

TegoNuke(tm) ShortLinks
The next four TegoNuke(tm) ShortLinks options are used to control that add-on feature. This feature may be used if you desire to have shortened internal links such as "downloads.html" or "forums.html" rather than the full" forums.html" link. In the past, this has been known as "GoogleTap" or "GT-NExtGEn". Please see the RavenNuke_README.txt file within the Distro directory AddOnFiles/TegoNuke/ShortLinks for more information as to what this feature is and how to control it with these settings. There are several steps documented in this readme file -- such as copying settings from the ShortLinks.htaccess file to your main htaccess file -- that must be completed for ShortLinks to work properly. If you attempt to use ShortLinks without completing these steps you will get errors on your site.

nuken, as we discussed, I am very excited that you have taken this on. I will download and test this this week. I noticed the admin was broken on my site awhile back, but since it still functioned and only affected me, I didn't worry about it. Plus, I only made it XHTML compliant for the features that I used, so am glad that you have taken upon yourself to learn French and work on this! Smile

...oh, and by the way, now all we need to do is re-write it using jQuery and plug-ins and fully integrate it and nukeNAV(tm) into one very powerful nukeNAV+(tm)! Wink

I was kinda thinking about it as a fill in until nukeNAV shows it how dynamic menus should be done.... Very Happy

edit: I have also done some more updating on it. I replaced the split with preg_split and finished replacing the ereg and eregi in the admin side as well. I just reuploaded the modified files today under the same download. It really will not make a difference until php 6 but might as well plan ahead.

Completely agree, but I like your line of thinking...

It does load a little faster, but not enough to really make a big difference.

Nuken, now I remember why I stopped at XHTML compliance (I had actually completed it come to find out)... There are hundreds of PHP notices in Sommaire that I completely forgot about!!! Sure would be good to clean those up too, but that could take months.

I am now using what you provided on a few site (still hasn't been released) and here my observations from the download:

* I would remove the Thumbs.db files within each of the image directories
* Given that most folks will be installing this on *nix, I would provide .txt files of the language files so that manual incorporation is made easier (as we would hardly want folks to have to change file permissions if they don't want to).
* Just given how much is on the page at one time, you might want to remove the Graphic_Admin() call and replace it with one simple "Site Administration" link back to admin.php.

All in all, it works as it has, so far, in the past.

The Graphic_Admin can be removed by unchecking the Extended Administrator view in the administration. I may have it unchecked by default and add the Site Administration link on the short view. Very true on the lang text file and the thumbs.db.

Or maybe even better is include a Sommaire lang folder and just have it upload along with the rest of the install and use the nukeNAV style of admin links....

Posted: Sun Oct 25, 2009 12:11 pm

So far for the next release, I have redone the installer to include an uninstaller and only install database files. Language files have been moved to their own folders and included in the upload files so upgrading RavenNuke(tm) will not overwrite them. Double quotes replaced with single. More to come....

Well thank you NeapolitanWorld... It is always nice to hear compliments...

Posted: Mon Oct 26, 2009 4:29 pm

I said already. Nuken is very serious with phpnuke. I like the way he handles the organization of the codes. Very clean and fast.

Thank you again Neapolitan.... This second release is really just to make it where if RavenNuke(tm) is upgraded, it will have no affect on Sommaire and also to simplify the install process. The way it was originally done, upgrading the site would write over the changes in the language file, now they are in separate folders.

nuken,

Since I was carrying the original 2.1.1 and 3.0b versions of Sommaire on my site, I just now added a new download for Sommaire Paramétrable for RavenNuke(tm) and it just takes them to your site's download block category page where they can always get your latest rendition!

Posted: Sat Oct 31, 2009 8:55 am

Cool. So far everything seems to be good in the latest. A lot of notices fixed and a much simpler install. Plus upgrading RavenNuke(tm) does not affect the install now.

Posted: Sat Oct 31, 2009 1:08 pm

nuken. Thanks for taking care of this amazing addon. U made an incredible update. I love the way you take care of the files. NO white spaces at the end of the lines and very clean coding. Congratulation. You are very serious with phpnuke.
