Admin/modules/Topics

Posted: Wed May 11, 2005 7:05 pm

I have just come back to Nuke after a 12 months absence. I was using Nuke 7.1 or thereabouts at that time.

I am sorry for this basic question but how do I set news topics in 7.7? The admin/modules/topics is no longer in these later versions.

Several modules now carry their own admin folder. Look in modules/Topics/admin

Hi Raven,

Thanks for the reply. Should I able to get to that via the admin area? I just can't find any links in the admin area to topics.

I am sorry to be appearing thick here: a year away from phpnuke and you quickly forget about the traps & tricks and frustrations (nothing's changed on this last one: 6 hours now on this and Sentinel Sad

).

I just can't see how to add topics for news. There is no access from the admin page and if I put in http://www.mysite.com/modules/Topics/admin/ I get access denied.

This should be your order for installing nuke 7.7

On local PC:
d/l nuke v7.7
d/l Chat's Patches v3.0 for 7.7
Apply the patches over all the nuke 7.7 files

On Server:
ftp the patched nuke v7.7 files
Create the database
Install the nuke.sql file
Update config.php with MySQL settings
Create superadmin

You should now be able to see all the modules when you log into admin. Assuming so, now instal NukeSentinel(TM)

Thanks, Raven.

I downloaded 7.7.03a from NSN with all the latest patches etc applied.

I've installed nuke, the DB is done and all things are working. However when I went to set up the topics the topics admin is not in the general admin area. I've downloaded 7.5,7.6 & 7.6 and there is no topics.php in admin/modules in them like there used to be in 7.1.

How do I access the topics admin which is now in modules/topics/admin/ rather than where it used to be (admin/modules/topics.php) ?

You should see a split admin module screen with admin access to "Core" modules and then admin access to the "non-Core" modules. That's where Topics should be. I don't know why you can't see them.

I uploaded the complete set of ifiles for the release and it fixed the problem.

Thanks for your help, Raven, once again it's much appreciated.

So is this the preferred new way that admin modules should be written?
