Porting 7.6 modules into RavenNuke?

New Member Joined: Apr 26, 2006 Posts: 10

I have the newest version installed and running at www.rebelgr.com, I have install several custom blocks and they all seem to work except for those that require a module. I know there is some coding that has to change in the beginning of the files, just figuring out which ones is the issue.

Neos-Chronos v179-nuke works for this version of ravensnuke and I have a server status block that also works.

vWar 1.50 R13 PHP nuke Hi-wire - from vwar.de is still being tweaked by myself and McGyver. Hopefully we will get it working as well.

McGyver of XCS has a Ventrilo server and channels block/module with links to connect and personalized headings. It is pretty cool. I have it up and running on my site.

Can someone help me, I like the built in security of your version of nuke, but I would like to get these modules up and running.

Well, RavenNuke IS the 7.6 version of PhpNuke, only with some security add-ons (like NukeSentinel) code patches, a few add on modules and I'm probably forgetting a few things here. But I don't see why adding on those modules wouldn't work with RavenNuke if they worked when you were running just the basic 7.6 version of PhpNuke. They are both the same basic thing (but RavenNuke is better and infinitley more secure!). The only issue you may come across is NukeSentinel may not like some of those add-ons.
I suppose the only way to know for sure is to try, unless someone here knows more about those specific modules.

The code usually found at the beginning of blocks and module index.php files may need changing.
A quick compare should highlight any obvious changes and would provide a good starting point for you.
For example in blocks files, you might have

Code:

if (eregi("block-YourFileName.php",$_SERVER['PHP_SELF'])) {


    Header("Location: index.php");


    die();


}

which might benefit from a change to

Code:

if ( !defined('BLOCK_FILE') ) {


    Header("Location: ../index.php");


    die();


}

Modules index.php may have

Code:

if (!eregi("modules.php", $_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME'])) {


    die ("You can't access this file directly...");


}

and may benefit from a change to

Code:

if ( !defined('MODULE_FILE') )


{


   die("You can't access this file directly...");


}

Are you getting any errors after turning error reporting on?

Thanks, that has been very helpful. One other question, I did notice that there was a change also with a line having to do with the index file.

Quote:

$index == 1

should be changed to:

Quote:

define('INDEX_FILE', true);

in every instance it is found? Sometimes the index is set to 0, so would that read false instead of true?

McGyver and I are working on porting vwars Hi-Wire to RN. Not all folders have an index.php in them.

Also, do you want .rar files of these mods to put in the downloads section after you have a chance to check them?

It would treat it as not defined - the same as $index == 0 prior to the patch in which that change was introduced.

Just an update...

Had to go with a stand alone version of vwars... it isn't stable or secure within this version of nuke. So we are making a block to link to the single version to go on the site instead.

All other blocks are working.

I was wondering where you went to. I was afraid I had really scared you off Wink

You sure did! Wink

My harddrive went kapoof. But I know what caused it.......I was running Windows...apparently there is no known cure either.
