nCo Modified PHP Nuke 7.4a
To start off, I do not work for NukeCode.
I am just a signed-up memeber like you.
I am sure NukeCode admins will take a look; once in awhile to see what I have posted. And correct statements I have made that are incorrect, which is good.
This is to help people, plan and simple.
I will get started in a few as I am in the middle of a test.
I may edit this beginning text/forum post as needed, keep an eye peeled.
Before I get started, This nCo 7.4a and probably soon to come 7.4b Will save you hours upon hours of HARD-work and headaches, I HIGHLY recommend it, BUT IT MUST be done as a NEW install.
THANK YOU NUKECODE FOR YOUR HOURS OF WORK ON THIS nCo 7.4a.
For new folks they basically inserted all the updates/ security patches / added benificial programs called MODS and BLOCKS etc...
All the user does is install it and adjust all the settings to their needs.
It is so simple. I will go into that below to help you New people (by the way, I am still a newbie myself, But I have 10 years of PC experience as a PC Consultant, so my learning curve is a little less then some others).
I will post below other added MODS and BLOCKS and Themes i have tested on this nCo 7.4a. And How I did it, IN ENGLISH.
Step 1
Ok Sorry I am trying to load my own page with new items so I am flip flopping back in forth, from site to site.
I would highly recommend that you have a second site for testing on any website development.
I have two, One is my actual site I will be going with and the second is a Sub-domain where I test the contents before actually loading them to the real site.
If you can’t make a sub-domain, you can just create a second folder in your root directory and load everything to it, (but this can get confusing and you might accidentally load an item into the real site you want to use.
If neither option is available, use your real site you will be having, but keep in mind you might have to start from scratch if something goes haywire. So don’t load all your fine detail, news articles, mailing list, forum articles etc…. until you are sure your site is stable.
Step 1. Downloading nCo Modified PHP Nuke 7.4a.
Before the window pops up where you want to download it to; I recommend you download it to YOUR DESKTOP. You should make this a habit, it makes life easier, you can scan your downloads before opening them with your favorite antivirus program, you know where you just downloaded it to and don’t have to look through all your PC folders for it, etc…
Now go here to download nCo 7.4a. -à http://nukecode.com/modules.php?name=Downloads
Once you have downloaded nCo 7.4a you will notice it has an extension (.rar) on it.
This is a type of a zip file, to compress files.
You will need to download WinRAR, a tool to UNZIP files with .rar extensions.
Go here to get a free trail copy -à http://www.rarlab.com/download.htm
Once at this site you will see several versions, and different languages of the version, In English I recommend going with: Localized WinRAR versions (English).
Now if you want to save even more time here is the link to download it.
http://www.rarlab.com/rar/wrar330.exe
Again download to your desktop, once you get this just open it, it should be self-extracting and sets itself up on your PC.
Once you setup (Install) WinRAR you can delete the Zipped installation file of WinRAR, or save it for later and place it in you’re my Documents for later or a friend.
Now On your desktop create a new folder, (Right click, NEW / FOLDER)
Rename this folder; nCo Nuke 7.4a or whatever you want just so as you know where your nCo nuke 7.4a download will be stored.
Now we have the Zipped nCo Modified PHP-Nuke 7.4.rar file and a New folder you named “nCo Nuke 7.4a” Drag the zip file, nCo Modified PHP-Nuke 7.4.rar onto this folder, or cut and paste it into this folder.
Now from inside this folder, Double click, (open) nCo Modified PHP-Nuke 7.4.rar
The WinRAR program automatically has unzipped it. Now you need to tell it where to store it, Select / EXTRACT TO: then another window opens allowing you to select what folder you want to Extract the contents to: SELECT the new folder you created “nCo Nuke 7.4a” WinRAR automatically unzips all the contents into the new folder.
All DONE with that part.
Now we go to Install nCo Nuke 7.4a in step 2 below.
I also would recommend a good FTP program.
There are several out there, I am using this one currently:
It is a Free trial also; Download an Evaluation of WS_FTP Professional

Will this tutorial continue at some point? Thanks.
Yes

Step 2 Installing nCo Modified Nuke 7.4a
Step 2. Installing nCo Modified PHP Nuke 7.4a:
This can look quite confusing, but it isn't.
Ok we have the following inside our folder:
Folder: Documents and Readme Files from additional Blocks and ModulesFolder:
sqlFolder:
htmlReadme first File.
nukebutton.gif File.
1.) Open up the html folder, Now we have a bunch of folders and files.
2.) Upload all these folders and files to your root directory {You can also edit the config.php file before uploading it, in notepad or your favorite text editor}.You don't need Readme.html and basic.html or readme.txt uploaded, but i don't see it hurting anything if you do.
3.) With your FTP software running {connected to your database} rightclick on Ultramode.txt. Set it to 666 (these are permissions for that file.) {Permissions meaning who and what can be read, executed, written to: etc..}
4.) Next right click on config.php choose edit or open it to edit it.We need to set the server path name of the database and password, etc... in order for PHP-Nuke to communicate with the database.
5.) So with config.php open for editing go to here: (look for these lines)
$dbhost = "localhost";
$dbuname = "";
$dbpass = "";
$dbname = "";
$prefix = "nuke";
$user_prefix = "nuke";
$dbtype = "MySQL";
$sitekey = "SdFk*pap28367-vt56rt554w69.3a2efruyfDS+t6";
$gfx_chk = 7;
$subscription_url = "";
This is what we will be editing.
**** sidenote REMEMBER THIS IS CASE SENSITIVE AND ADD NO EXTRA SPACING.
6.) $dbhost = "localhost"; this is your database server address. So between the " HERE " quotations. enter your database servers name or address. Like: mysql54.webhostingcompany.net This will have individual location names based on who you host with. An IP address to the server database might work also.
7.) $dbuname = "";Again between the Quotations " HERE " Enter your database Username. You had to have named your database when you created one with your hosting company. Like with GoDaddy hosting you need to create a database when you buy hosting, it just isn't there when you buy hosting, you need to add it.
8.) $dbpass = ""; Again between the Quotations " HERE " Enter your Password to your database.
9.) $dbname = ""; Again between the Quotations " HERE " Enter your Database name. Most of the time this is the same as the above user database name.
10.) $prefix = "nuke"; Leave this as-is, Most will not need to edit this.
11.) $user_prefix = "nuke"; Leave this as-is, Most will not need to edit this.
12.) $dbtype = "MySQL"; I did not edit this either. Because I have MySql database.
13.) $sitekey = "SdFk*pap28367-vt56rt554w69.3a2efruyfDS+t6"; This is the sitekey; Just change a couple of the letters and/or numbers and write them down to save.
14.) $gfx_chk = 7; I did not change. Left as-is.
15.) $subscription_url = ""; I did not change. Left as-is.
16.) Click Save, YOU are finished!! with the editing part.
17.) You need to upload the SQL file in the Sql folder, to your database. Like Godaddy they have their own tool to do this. Just click on mysql / browse / upload. Others may need the tool (software) phpMyAdmin.
18.) After that, point your browser to:
http://yourdomain"whateveritis".com/admin.php
Create your Super User following the on-screen instructions.
Now click on "Preferences" and change whatever you want to fit your
site info. All the options you need to change are in the Preferences
menu. If you need help just click on the help icon at the right-top
of the Administration Menu. This will open a new window with the help
you need for each section in the administration system.
Extra info not Necessary but may help on security:SECURITY TIP: It's a good choice to put your config.php file outside the
Web Server path, then you can create a new config.php with the line:
<?php include("../config.php"); ?>
19.) I believe that is it. All done. But you need to read the instructions for all the added Modules. Like Sentinel (AWESOME this is a must read!), it has a really good manual PRINT IT OUT, and go threw it. Basically you need to set all your settings to your peferences.
20.) Add other Modules and blocks as needed. I HIGHLY recommend you test them first on another Website / database to make sure there are no Conflicts.I will re-read this myself and change / edit / add-on as necessary.
Thank you / good luck you can do-it........... it is simple, AND THANKS AGAIN to NUKECODE for saving us hours upon hours if not days - of adding the security patches and extra modules.
I will edit this to be more readable friendly later, plus add some items in more detail if needed.
sir
