PHP-Nuke: Advanced Content Management System
============================================

November 2004: Version 7.6
==========================
- According with the email number 213080 to Dave Turner (GPL Compliance Engineer) from the Free Software Foundation,
the copyright notices of PHP-Nuke has been changed in order to be 100% compliant with the GPL license section 2(c).
This copyright notices can't be removed and the Commercial License becomes 100% compliant with the GPL license.
Hope this is the end of the story for the people that doesn't understand a bit of the GPL. Again, if you want to
legaly remove the copyright notices from PHP-Nuke generated pages you must purchase the Commercial License, see
[ Only registered users can see links on this board! Get registered or login! ] for more details and stop complaining about this issue, the
Commercial License is legal, GPL compliant and approved by the Free Software Foundation. End of story.
- Fixed administrator edit function that didn't show the authorized modules to administer. (Thanks to jaggura from [ Only registered users can see links on this board! Get registered or login! ]
- Added FireFox (http://firefox.com) browser support for site's counter that will show in Statistics module.
- Added RSS feed support for FireFox browser's Live Bookmarks.
- By popular demand and to avoid some administration system non-authorized entries attempts, now you can just rename
the file admin.php to whatever_you_want.php and set the name in config.php file. Doing this nobody knows what's
your administration filename. Additionaly a new method of URL redirection has been added to hide the referer when
you click on a link inside administration system. If you have old administration modules not compatible with this
new system you'll get "Access Denied" message. If this is the case, leave the admin.php file with its original name
while you modify the modules or get a new compatible version of it.
- Added a new folder called /includes/custom_files where, if exists the files custom_mainfile.php, custom_header.php and
custom_footer.php they will be included from mainfile.php, header.php and/or footer.php respectively. Also the
file /includes/my_header.php has been removed and added the new /includes/custom_files/custom_head.php for anything
that should be between <head> and </head> html tags in the code. With this feature will be more easy to update
a site without lost your custom changes. These files will not be shipped with PHP-Nuke to avoid possible overwritting
when updating the code. (Thanks to André V. Escudero for the tip)
- Moved Forums administration to the module's folder (Thanks to Chatserv from [ Only registered users can see links on this board! Get registered or login! ]
- Added an extra check to administrators/authors adition functions to grant access to the superuser only (Thanks to Chatserv from [ Only registered users can see links on this board! Get registered or login! ]
- Fixed a search results bug in Forums module (Thanks to Chatserv from [ Only registered users can see links on this board! Get registered or login! ]
- Fixed a bug in the 7.3 to 7.4 upgrade file for Sections module migration (Thanks to Chatserv from [ Only registered users can see links on this board! Get registered or login! ]
- Changed the password generator in Your Account module. System generated passwords now are 3 letters, 2 numbers and 3 letters.
- Fixed update_points() function call to clickbanner() function on banners.php
- Changed anonymous permissions for broken link report and modification requests in Downloads and Web Links modules.

thanks.

I suppose in theory you could look to see how they do it in 7.6 and try to modify your code...

But then again, you could upgrade to 7.6 and save yourself some time.
