SMF compatible with phpnuke?

[^Raven^]

Although SMF is going to have IPB Portals enmeshed I still think it'd be awesome to have phpnuke intwined with SMF too.

[spottedhog]

We are strongly pursuing doing this.  We are now creating a fork of PHP Nuke where the modules, etc. are compatible, but we are wanting to replace phpbb, for reasons all are aware.  We want to make this fork "Quick and Secure", optimizing code, removing unnecessary features and modules, coding in more security, and adding in modules, etc. to make it a better distribution.

If anyone has a start on the porting for PHP Nuke, please contact me/us.  No need to duplicate efforts.....

I know you've posted this twice, spottedhog, but I'm afraid you won't get the answers you're seeking by posting on the forum.  I suggest you send a personal message to Jeff Lewis and/or David.

If you have any problems integrating SMF with any portal or CMS software, tell me and I'll try to address the issue....

Also note that my only personal concern here is copyrights.  Whenever dealing with forks, I always see bad blood and stuff... is this a clean fork?  Are you keeping their copyrights intact, and respecting their intellectual property?

[spottedhog]

All copyrights will not be touched.  We are not out to steal anything, but instead, make something by putting it together in a better way, and using better inputs.

Actually, we have been kicking around calling it "SMF-Nuke", mainly because we feel that SMF adds the most importance to the "fork".

Not much has been done yet, but I know we would do as little as possible in changing any code, and most certainly will not change the copyrights.  If anything, we may combine the PHP Nuke and SMF copyrights into one footer.  It sure would not bother me to put SMF in front of PHP Nuke in all copyrights, etc.  :-)

I will try and contact those names you gave.

Thanks!!!

Will there all so be a way to convert my PHPNUKE site to your new and improved version? And will this all so convert the PHBB forum?

[spottedhog]

yes.....  that is the intention......

We are making it NOT a phpnuke module, but keeping it as a standalone, but still integrated.  There will be conversion scripts for users to run to convert to SMF.

SMF is just head and shoulders above phpbb.....  at least when integrated its features into phpnuke.

I should have a working demo up later today.....  It is not fully done, but we have a good start on it.

I was wandering how the project is going?  Can i see or download the files somewhere? And, more importend, is the an "easy" way to convert? 

[spottedhog]

The smf integration with php nuke is going along with very few problems, at least right now.  There are not any files yet to download, but a few productive days will change that.

I will post here when we do....

We will be creating conversion files for this to make changing as simple as possible.

thanks!

GREAT !!!!.. I'LL be waiting !!   

[ipggi]

I'm waiting for this one as well.  Got an insanely large project just waiting for this integration...  and I don't know smf code well enough to do that integration myself!    I look forward to hearing about any progress.  Heck if you have some "long techy steps" to convert, I would appreciate that too...

[Cyber Freak]

Well the weekend is over again.  This means 2 fulldays of development 

My guest is that we will hear from them to day (I mean I HOPE) 

[ipggi]

I'm not sure if spotteddog is really working on this much, or just isn't interested in keeping the community updated with the progress of this project.  Is there anyone else working on a phpnuke port?

[Cyber Freak]

Ohh he is working allright...

I know he has cookie problems...  
But then again I have all the confidence in him 

[ipggi]

That's cool.    I re-read my post many days later..  I wasn't trying to be a [censor] just wanted to know if there were any other phpnuke impliments going on.

I'm almost done with my site, hopefully there will be complete conversion instructions.  I am, unfortunately, going to have to launch with phpbb, but hope to move back to smf as soon as possible.    The tough part is now converting from smf to phpbb...  I can get everything to transfer over EXCEPT the passwords are encrypted with an unknown salt.  Anyone have any info on how I can convert smf passwords into phpbb?

Hi all....  I am new here, but not new to PHP Nuke.  I and others operate a PHP Nuke support website, and we are making a decision as to whether to "fork" or not to "fork" the lastest 7.5 version of PHP Nuke.  We are unhappy with the phpbb, and other parts that are of need of optimization, and we see that the PHP Nuke originators are not actively pursuing this.

If we decide to create a new "fork" of PHP Nuke, we will make sure to create something that uses current and future modules and blocks.  Not sure yet about themes, but if anything, we would improve the current PHP Nuke theme system.

To that end, we are currently looking at this very good SMF system.  And we are discussing about how to maybe use what is already built in, and to possibly port it as is or with as few modifications as possible.

I would welcome any comments here or by using the Feedback module on our website:

wondering if spottedhog was still working on this or if anyone knew what came of his work, the newsite is inactive now....

[Cyber Freak]

 

O crap... If this is becouse he conferted his site to SMF it doesn't look good... 

But i will try to contact him and let y'all know what is going on....

Any idea on the status of integrating SMF with PHP Nuke? I'm really looking forward to using this.

Thanks

[maufonseca]

Anyone is working on this?
I realy want to use PhpNuke and SMF together........ Please let me know if you still working on this

[ltabdiel]

hmm my only idea on the passwords deal is to figure out how to have SMF call md5 encoded passwords or of course you could do the opposite by figuring out how SMF passwords are encrypted and changing phpnuke to understand that.  I am pondering the whole idea of converting phpnuke on my own also.  I wil however package it with many extras that are available for phpnuke so that people will not have to go find and install them, f anyone is familiar with it I am involved with phpnuke Platinum which does just that but still uses phpbb and I am hoping to replace phpbb with SMF. 

[ltabdiel]

hmm I seem to be having some problems jumping through db hoops I am going to have to take a look at changing up a couple of the ways the db is called because I am having trouble with it looking for my mysql.php file in the wrong place and all kinds of good stuff like that, basically I just need to tell it to use the standard nuke files instead of it's own, so sometime in the next week I might be able to take a good stab at that.
