Ive spent the past 3 days trying to install Sentinal with 7.6 with 3.1 patch.
I was told 7.6 with patch was the best ver to use it on so i went ahead and downloaded that with NukeSentinel_242_71-79

I manged to install it and it worked, I was just about to dance round the room with joy until I found that users cant log in and with the sites theme the right hand blocks dont show up.

From what ive read on forums you need to edit the theme file to make it work ? However the theme is a custom one and is encrypted ( not sure if I can do it ? )

Also users cant login it brings up a white page, I re installed 7.6 with the 3.1 patch without sentinal and its doing the same thing, so i gave up on the patched ver.

So then I tryed to install a non patched 7.6 with Sentinal but it wont let me into Admin, even after I do the changes spoken about in the readme.

Bascily im confused, im prob doing this all wrong.

Is there a way of installing Sentinal without a patched Ver of 7.6 or any ver of Nuke for that matter?
Or could you point out why im having soo many problems with the 3.1 patch.

Well first fix the right side...

In your theme.php find:
if ($index == 1) {

and change to:
if (defined('INDEX_FILE')) {

I can't, the theme is encrypted.
Thats why I was wondering if I can use it without the patch.

encrypted ?
Is it a commercial theme?

Posted: Sat Oct 15, 2005 9:15 am

Yes we paid for it. I cant change anything in it, and we had a fall out with the people who made it, do I cant ask for them to decode it, not that they would anyway.

If it is not encryped with SourceGuardian or IonCube, send me the entire script, zipped to raven (AT) ravenphpscriots (DOT) com. I can probably decode it. There will be a small charge for the work.

I dont really want to pay to get this sorted, I really want to use sentinal wihout the Patch, is this posible ??

well,seems you have to sort things out first.
You have patched 3.1
because of that some coding is changed.
Result is that your theme isnt compatible anymore.

first solution to your right blocks problem is to change theme...even if its temporary.
Take a theme with included posted code ,or use a theme from a patched 3.1 download.

I can change the theme for the moment to somthing else, but after paying for our current theme i dont want to change it, and Im not going to pay for it to be decoded.

Ok ive asked if its posible to use it without the patch 3 times now, I read somwere it is , but you need to make lots of code changes, I just need to be pointed to somewere that tells me how to do that, forget the theme or the patched ver of 7.6 im not going to use it im going to use the normall 7.6.

well were here to help but you should take some advice also...
You can NEVER use that theme again with a patched 3.1,simple as that.
It will only work upto patched 3.0

Posted: Sat Oct 15, 2005 9:53 am

and with that you can install sentinel with latest version...

Posted: Sat Oct 15, 2005 9:55 am

Sorry, are you saying that my theme will work with any patch upto 3.0? just not with 3.1+?

Posted: Sat Oct 15, 2005 9:57 am

correct,its because of some code changes...
Like...
In your theme.php find:
if ($index == 1) {

and change to:
if (defined('INDEX_FILE')) {

the people you bought the theme from should modify it for you...

We fell out with them, so i cant really ask them , pluss I dont think they will anyway, they are a bit odd about things like that.

Thing is its a really good theme, so I dont want to get rid of it, its a pain in the ass.

Anyway thanks for your help , il download an older patch and see if it works.

well...
im using phpnuke 7.6 3.0 and that suits fine...
but you can allways give it some thought giving raven something to decode it.
there arent many people that will do that for you....
its now or later....

Were can I download the older patches?
I cant see them on the site.

Posted: Sat Oct 15, 2005 10:28 am

well im not sure...
most addresses are updated to the 3.1..
Best thing is to try nukeresources.com

omg this is driving my nuts, I cant find an old verstion, is there anywere else I can look?

Posted: Sat Oct 15, 2005 10:46 am

Try this. In index.php find

Code:

define('INDEX_FILE', true);

Right after that line, insert this line

Code:

$index=1;

No that didnt work Sad

In addition, edit footer.php add $index to your global statement in the function foot() function.

Posted: Sat Oct 15, 2005 11:09 am

Dam, Its allready there.

Posted: Sat Oct 15, 2005 11:11 am

Those are the only 2 places that $index was changed. Now, make sure that your modules still have $index=1; in them.

Posted: Sat Oct 15, 2005 11:13 am

No it hasent got that in modules.php were should I put it ?
