Codezwiz >> Forums >> General PHP Nuke Help >> How Do I run db update.php

I download a phpbb mod and it has db_update.php which will install the SQL

How do I run the db_update.php file? DO I goto:(after logging as admin)
[ Register or login to view links on this board. ]

Or
[ Register or login to view links on this board. ]

You didn't mention the mod you're installing...I would assume you run it like this: [ Register or login to view links on this board. ]
Backup your DB first of course.

Here is the mod [ Register or login to view links on this board. ]

Is it before or after I make changes to file mentioned in readme.txt or install.txt

It said to upload to modules/forums/

so shouldn't my url be modules/forum/......

Are you installing this in a standalone phpBB forum or Nuke? Backup the DB first then run it in your root or if you have phpBB installed in a different folder or sub-domain run it in the root of that location. If you're installing this in Nuke it may need porting.

I am installing under PCNUKE MAX 7.91c.

You see thats the problem. I have root/modules/Forums/

and root/themes/MY_THEME/forums/

And I am using subSilver theme for my forum. I do not know where to install.
I think PCNUKE uses phpbb forum

Thanks

Well...I dunno nothing about that PCNUKE MAX 7.91c. But that mod needs porting to work with Nuke...look at the directory structure and you will see. Not all hacks found over at phpBBHacks.com will work right out of the box with Nuke.

Only problem I have is the SQL file. I installed another mod. I was able to create the SQL myself, and that mod works.
But I am stuck with this code. (I got this from the source of db_update.php

INSERT INTO 'nuke_comments_config' (
'config_name', config_value) VALUES (comments_per_page, 15), (comments_on_mini, 3), (view_order, DESC), (auth_owner, 3), (auth_all, 0), (auth_reg, 2), (auth_mod, 5);

CREATE TABLE nuke_users_comments (comment_id mediumint(8) unsigned NOT NULL auto_increment, user_id mediumint(8) unsigned NOT NULL default 0, poster_id mediumint(8) NOT NULL default 0, poster_ip varchar(8) NOT NULL default , poster_username varchar(25) NOT NULL default , comments text NOT NULL, time int(11) default NULL, enable_html tinyint(1) unsigned NOT NULL default 0, enable_bbcode tinyint(1) unsigned NOT NULL default 0, enable_smilies tinyint(1) unsigned NOT NULL default 0, bbcode_uid varchar(10) NOT NULL default , PRIMARY KEY (comment_id), KEY user_id (user_id));

INSERT INTO 'nuke_comments_config'

Do you have a 'nuke_comments_config' table in your Nuke database?

Yes I Do

nuke_comments
nuke_comments_config
nuke_comments_moderated
nuke_config

The only way to get this mod to work with Nuke is to have someone port it for Nuke. If you look through the files there are references to files that are only included in the standalone phpBB forums...these files need editing to make it compatible with the Nuke phpBB forums. You may want to start a seperate thread requesting someone to port this mod for Nuke.
