I suggest you reading this =>
http://64bit.us/article83.html
and then return to phpNuke 7.6 =) then we'll talk.
I will not give support on either nuke 7.7 or 7.8, maybe someone else does but not me. I don't invest time in stuff that is broken when it arrives, in stuff that goes backwards every release and that breaks my Modules.
Sorry,
