What the heck is a "SuperUser Trap"?  I had no idea what to call it, so I came up with that lame excuse for a title.  The bottom line is that I wanted to announce that I've started to blog again.  I figured that I just need to get with it and write on things that I run into throughout the week.  This particular blog article is about how one can turn an administration "applet" such as Messages into a "module" to where permissions may be given to an admin to manage Messages, but without having to give them Super User access.  Come see just how easy this is to do.

Clan Themes is please to announce 3 new Clan Templates they are

I know, I know, am I ever really going to make up my mind about PHP5-only or not and what to do with the HTML Newsletter.  Well, since I was already about 50% through development of the 1.4 release AND the module is in RavenNuke(tm) which is still slated to support PHP4 for some time to come, I am changing my mind.  The 1.x branch will continue to be developed, and I will not make a conscience effort to make it break under PHP4.  Promise. 

My goal has never changed: to support this community of *nukers as best I can with the time allowed.  I had to be reminded of that and so existing products from this site that currently run under both PHP4 and PHP5, will continue to do so.  However, I still reserve the right to only do bug fixes on any and all products.  Most likely, only HTML Newsletter will be enhanced under the 1.x branch.  1.x will be reserved for PHP4 compatible and 2.x will be for PHP5-only as time goes on, even new products released after today will follow this "branch" versioning system.

PHPNuke Clan Themes has released our new theme voting system, you can now ask for us to design a new theme and vote on it !

How it works:

• If your desired theme is not in the block, then submit a request and we will add it
• Once your preferred theme is in the block you can vote on it, every 24hrs
• When I'm ready to start making a new theme, and if your theme is at the top of the voting system it will be chosen.
• You can then see what theme is in the design stage from looking at the top of the block !
   

We hope you use the system to its full potential, it will hopefully save you lots of cash on that one of a kind theme experience !

The block can be found on our home page and the module page can be found here

Hope to see you there soon,

Why would someone need something like this? PHP-Nuke uses the PHP mail() function and many web hosts these days are shutting off access to this function. These hosts are now requiring authenticated SMTP. Hence the need for a replacement for PHP-Nuke's mailer functions. For example, the user registration process will not work properly as it requires an email activation link (to try and slow down spammers from auto registration).

For a more detailed explanation of the TegoNuke(tm) Mailer and a more detailed list of features, check out the TegoNuke(tm) Mailer NukeForge page.  This package was created by combining the administration piece from PHPNukeMailer and the back-end of Swift Mailer.  Why another mailer for PHP-Nuke?  Because "choice" is good for the "consumer".

This mailer was created for RavenNuke(tm) 2.20.x and is just a few key-clicks away from being able to use with SMTP (click on the TegoNuke Mailer link within the Administration Control Panel). For you non-RavenNukers (shame on you - lol), come Download it now!

Just wanted to let everyone who has downloaded TegoNuke(tm) ShortLinks 1.2.1 that I had a small bug in it within the .htaccess rewrite rules.   Please see this thread here from Slackervaara for the fix.  The download has been amended as of this news article posting.

Sorry about that and thank you Slackervaara!

This is strictly a bug fix release, what I call a "Maintenance" release. No new features will be added under the 1.x branch, however, as "taps" are found to be missing or in error, these will be updated for as long as these issues are found. The changes in this release are also in the upcoming RavenNuke(tm) 2.20.01 patch release.

This new release is available in the Downloads now.

I have revised the Approve Membership Lite hack for use with the latest release of RavenNuke(tm) 2.2.0 (aka: 2.20.00). Do remember that this version is ONLY for the 2.2.0 release of RavenNuke(tm) and is NOT interchangeable with other nuke versions/forks.

This hack provides a way to force approval of new user registrations (as well as can even auto-approve). It takes the latest RavenNuke(tm) 2.2.0 Your Account module and the Approve Membership Module version 6.1.6 from Ulsoft and provides a simplified "Lite" version that only has the user approval piece (i.e., no "Custom Fields").

Download it now or just check out the detailed features list and change log.

We have uploaded the latest files to the server and are ready to hear what you find with the NGNuke release. Remember this is still a Beta version and do not use this on a live site just yet. Even though I have found no errors yet I still want it to be tested hard by several members so please come register and give it a try. Visit us at http://www.ngnuke.com. You are required to register to gain access but it is free and fairly painless. Have a great weekend and I hope to see you soon.
