Is multiple includes folders a problem?

Not in the same root of course. I mean, I noticed that the include files for the forums are in ravennuke's root, BUT that the forum's module does not have an includes folder. Would it be a problem if I placed an includes folder in the forums root folder and just put all the necessary include files in there?

I recently had a problem with admin_userlist.php which is from a User List mod that lets you manage multiple users. I was having a problem with the changes I was making not taking affect. I took a look at the php file, and noticed a call to an include file, but I knew that the forum root had no include folder. When I added just includes/emailer.php, it seemed to start working.

Would it be wrong if I just placed a copy of ALL the php include files in there as well?

Or better yet, perhaps I do a text search and point any includes/ lookups to the right folder? I don't know.

It wouldn't hurt anything, as long as you left the root/includes directory alone. But what would you gain?

If you are adding forum mods that haven't been ported to Nuke, there are probably a lot of other things you need to look at...

Unfortunately, BBToNuke moved away from seperate includes directories. It would make sense in a multiple-Forums setup (which I've used), but you'd have to edit all the file references to the includes folder. Its quite a daunting task
