It does not work with unpatched 7.9. It totally broke my news.

I dont believe he expected it to work on 7.9 and you are taking a huge risk using unpatched nuke. I hope that you will patch your site.

thanks... I haven't patched it, since I've got a lot of 3rd party mods and I've been to lazy to do all the extra fixing to get the 3rd party stuff working on the right hand side.

Well lets hope you dont get hacked then as that is even more work.

Just thought I would ask this, but there might not be a solution. I have a nuke 7.7 patched site. Made the modifications I think that were made to admin.php and replaced the news module files with the ones in the package. It seemed to work. But now I realize that when news is submitted, it never gets to the database. Same thing when I change the order. When I remove the display_order row from nuke_stories it seems to work fine, but I obviously can't change the order of articles.

I didn't replace my admin.php with the packaged admin.php because I have altered it for other purposes and they aren't even close to a match...plus my site is patched and runs Sentinel. Can anyone tell me the changes I need to make to admin.php manually? Is there any other reason why my articles or edits may not be posting to the database? They seem to post to admin when someone submits news, but when approved they do not show up.

Thanks for any help that can be provided.

I think you just need to change the code where it inserts the new story to include the additional display_order column. You probably won't see the column names, but rather just need to insert an additional field with a default value for the display_order field.

I'm not quite sure what you mean. When the user submits an article, before it is approved by admin, does it go to a different table than nuke_stories? I thought the ordering of articles was an admin feature? I thought basically it just changes the sid or rather overrides the sid order in the database. Not sure if I would want the submitter to be able to change that value. Either way, is there any documentation on how I would edit the submit news module if that is the case?

Please excuse my ignorance. I'm just learning how all this works.

Thank you.

I can't remember if it's a different table, or just a different status in the same table. I'm thinking it's a different table.

Ordering of articles is only an admin feature if you add it - the standard is most recent first, and there are no built-in abilities to change that right now. Changing the SID might do the trick, depending on the SQL that is used to retrieve the stories.

You definitely do not want the submitter to have that ability. You want the site administrator to determine the order.

7.8 installed via fantastico.
AutoTheme Pro installed. (which shouldn't affect the news module?)
Other then auto theme 7.8 is virgin.

I don't know if this helps. I am no php Guru by any means.

I tracked the "not being able to post problem" to the display_order field.

While the display_order field is in the nuke_stories table I can not post any news whatsoever. I can preview but not post.

This holds true when the hacked admin.php and two index.php's are in place as well as when I remove the hacks and return the admin.php and two index's to their virgin state.

It seems the added field prevents news from being posted???????????? As soon as I drop the field display_order, I can post again.

I am now giving up. It is beyond my abilities.

Like I said I don't know if this sheds any light on anything, but I hope it helps.

I haven't looked at the code for this hack. But I'm guessing its missing an field when its trying to do an INSERT into that table. You'd have to find that code and correct it
