Yes it's true, except if they go chang their plans. PHPNuke-Dutch already did set up a testsite with Nuke 6.5 beta 1. Soon it will be updated to Beta 2. You can see here http://phpnuke-tester.org

We had a test site up for the alpha to see how it was going, at that point Tom was on vacation so it had the same bugs that the current port beta has. I would imagine that FB and Tom have squashed those.

I don't think you'll see any big diferences from what we have now with the port, other than whatever changes have been made to the Nuke side.

The way you have this intergrated is what I am looking for actually.

At Delta Force Seals we are running snitz and it is set up simular to this and is great but not easy to change the themes since it is hard coded into the core. Not only that but every mod is a hack just about and the code gets so confusing :cry:

Currently it is 100% asp but I am switching it over to php. I have been evaluating the different cms's out there but I like phpnuke the best for some reason. Seems faster than the others all though xoops is awfully sweet in certain respects. But php is much faster with mysql than asp with mssql2000, noticably faster

So on here you are using the following; (as far as the forum goes)

phpBB2 2.0.6
Your Account
Anorscorners Tutorial on reg thru forum?

We are actually using phpBB 2.0.6 along with php-Nuke 6.0 and the Forum registration hack here on our site for users to register Via the Forum's registration rather than Nuke's.
We have done this mainly to keep it more one-sided. Nuke and the phpBB Forums in all aspects really don't work seemlessly together yet. But it's getting there. That is why it is important for the Nuke and phpBB port developers to work close together in order to bring these to great programs together.

If you know ASP, etc, as you said, the Nuke and the ported Forums should be a breeze for you. I would suggest getting them up and running on a subdomain testsite or something. That would give you the opportunity to get familar with the "works" of it.

thanks Mikem

Code:

**That's the general idea to get everything pointing to the Forums to edit a users profile and signup etc.

Does that mean that the changes shown in the reg hack is just part of the changes and there is more that will have to be searched out?

Thanks,
John

Yes but then listed below that should be MOST of the places where the link needs to be changed.
The links you are looking for is listed in the hack

Code:

in modules/Your_Account/index.php

Find for any links that have 

	modules.php?name=$module_name&amp;op=new_user\

change all those to

	modules.php?name=Forums&file=profile&mode=register\

also, to make the link "Change Info" point to the Forms edit profile, in modules/Your_Account/navbar.php, change

	modules.php?name=Your_Account&amp;op=edituser\

to

	modules.php?name=Forums&file=profile&mode=editprofile\


**You can look for more references to these in the following files
"new_user" 
modules/Journal/functions.php 
modules/Journal/index.php 
blocks/block-User_Info.php 
language/lang-english.php 
modules/News/language/lang-english.php 
modules/Surveys/language/lang-english.php 
modules/Your_Account/index.php 

"edituser" 
admin/language/lang-english.php 
modules/Your_Account/navbar.php
