get the latest version...make all the core edits again
then run the install script.
set it to upgrade
double check the core edits...it may not be necessary..they may be identical as it stands. but to be honest im not sure. Laughing

There are step by step instructions for installing NukeSentinel from scratch, but as darklord pointed out, you should check the core edits again since they have probably changed since 2.3.2.

One other thing to note: when you run the installation script, select each upgrade step (e.g. 2.3.2 to 2.3.3, 2.3.3, 2.3.4, etc.) until you get to 2.4.2. The SQL upgrade step is NOT cumulative.

Another recommendation: upgrade your Nuke patch to at least 3.1 before upgrading NukeSentinel, if that's necessary.

I beleive those that put Platinum together had to make some modifications due to all the stuff they included with the Platinum package and as Sentinel was designed to work with phpNuke not a fork like Platinum, you may experience a few glitches.
I am sure there will be dozens of Platinum users correcting me if I m wrong.

well that much i knew already, im running two test site one with ravens new 76 and the other with platinum 76 just want to see if some of the flash will work with ravens full pack before i waste alot of my time. I like some of the new themes that platinum has, but i know it wont work with ravens.
I like to know if ravens site will have any flashy themes like platinum. I seen some BF themes i really like but when i experiment with Ravens new 76, everything went all out alignment. Like i said im just running a test site, if none of these things works then i will setup raven 76 and use the themes that there, not a problem for me. Thanks for the input....
