reinstall and keep data?

Hiya All,

I have a question about doing the install of RavenNuke, I have a site going already (kinda) on PHPNuke 7.8, I have been working on getting some of the extra security stuff going but I have bombed out. Since RavenNuke is based on 7.6 (i believe) can I downgrade to it and keep the stuff I have? I have several users and Gallery2 with pictures already going.

Thanks,

Ok I think I found what I want...but my search is a little fuzy on know if the Gallery2 will pick up the albums after reinstall...

Any clue to that?

I think this may depend on how Gallery2 is integrated. If it needs alterations of the nuke core tables, those will have to be done again but you should be able to re-insert the data from your back up into the new table fields.

If you are wiping your site clean first, then you should only need to re-upload the files and images you need from your back up.

If there are no changes needed to the core nuke tables structure then the data in them will not be wiped by the Raven Nuke installer.

Hope that helps.

You will need the Gallery 2 Integration from http://www.nukedgallery.net

I have Gallery 2 running on a couple of sites with Ravennuke 2.02. If you were running Gallery2 in PHPnuke 7.8 then you probably already have the Integration pack. Depending on how you bring your core tables over you might need to re-do some of the Nuke admin screens to recognize Gallery but your albums should be just fine.

Post back here if you have problems with it.

In fact I do have a problem, I did the setup and tested Gallery2 as the standalone

http://www.fabcym.com/modules/gallery2/

This is the URL as listed in the embedded

http://www.fabcym.com/modules.php?name=gallery2

but when I click the link on the side panel it goes to here--- but if I mouse over the link it has the right like... going to search also.

I found the problem --- the index.php file from the intergration pack did not overwrite the one from the gallery install, it was renamed to index-retry.php due to the FTP client I use. Little off subject but any clue to how I get my FTP server to allow overwrites?

Look at options in your FTP client. Mine (CuteFtp) has several options for overwrites, including prompted, no warning, overwrite older files etc. I doubt that it's a server issue or at least I'd look at the client first.

I have ProFTPD Server running, I found the option after looking around.

Also things are going well with site also so far...
