It will require a one time setup for all our Nuke In The Box users and after that the cookie will autolog users in. The only modifactions to the board are as follows: 1. All "_blank" tags converted to "_self" so all clicked links in the forum are loaded into the box (NITB) 2. PHP code reworked to respect current phpnuke module syntax: "http://upstatetemplates.com/modules.php?name=Forums" This is listed as a module in my admin control panel and is called in the usual manner. It can be activated and deactivated from the nuke admin panel and will respect all existing user level access defined by admin (as with all modules). This is so all of our existing SQL menus and also the 100 boxes already downloaded will continue to function as usual. Due to license restrictions, IPB does not allow porting of the board so the second (one time) login is being retained so as not to violate. 3. Certain directories were rearranged to accomodate the nuke layout for continuity. Since our Nuke In The Box invokes an IE shell, all cookies are available to users by viewing thier IE settings. All users using a 1.0 version of Nuke In The Box are encouraged to upgrade to 1.1 http://www.upstatetemplates.com

Good question. Here is my take on things: 1. Invision is a seperate entity here. There is NO nuke database integration and a hit to the actual url it resides in will function as at any non portal site. The actual coding of the board is still Invision. I have simply modified it to run within my servers layout. 2. I do not distribute nor package any directions for others to modify their nuke setup. Nuke In The Box is dynamic and there is no Invision code within the .exe. The board is read at runtime. 3. All pages clearly state that Invision is the sole owner of the code. 4. I am posting the story to inform users that thier phpbb postings at my site no longer exist. The story does not offer a ported IPB for download. Should Invision have any problems with this, I will accomodate any wish they may have. The board will still work with my odd way of handling my website. Hope we are cool Chris |
