Site Info Block and 7.5

Posted: Mon Oct 04, 2004 10:34 pm

I was working on installing the Site Info block from this site on my 7.5 patched (2.6) version of nuke. I was not getting the security graphic, but all other functionality appeared to be working. Since I was working on a very clean 7.5 w/2.6 as my test environment, I was pretty sure that the link used to display the graphic had changed between versions.

Now, I have no idea if this has already been posted somewhere. I tried searching all over the place, but am a relative newbie to Nuke and phpBB, so I may have missed it, but I found the piece of code that needed to change and now it works great.

If interested, find this code within Raven's Site Info file block-Site_Info.php (at around line 251):

Code:

$content .=""._SECURITYCODE.": <img src='modules.php?name=Your_Account&op=gfx&random_num=$random_num' border='1' alt='"._SECURITYCODE."' title='"._SECURITYCODE."'>\n";

and modify the img src link as follows:

Code:

$content .=""._SECURITYCODE.": <img src='?gfx=gfx&random_num=$random_num' border='1' alt='"._SECURITYCODE."' title='"._SECURITYCODE."'>\n";

Now, I would bet that this could be done better to make it suitable for all versions, but since I was needing a quick fix, I just hard-coded the change. Is there some standard, simple way to do version checking or some global variable already set that can be tested?

Anyways, hope this helps someone...

Yes, it's been covered a few times, but one more never hurts Wink

Sorry about that! Not sure why I am not finding these things. I searched for almost an hour, finally gave up, and looked for a fix myself. I think it may be because sometimes I have to read through the entire Forum to find the exact post that answers my question. Very tedious.

I have to find a better process for myself to get beyond this. I hate wasting time and wasting others as well.

Again, sorry about that. Still learning... (just proud of myself that I actually came to the same resolution
Very Happy

Don't worry about it! I just did a search for 'gfx' and then like you said, you have to hunt and peck Laughing
