[CLOSED] HTML Newsletter and Platinum Nuke

Newbie Joined: Aug 08, 2005 Posts: 6

Wonder if anyone has any success porting HTML Newsletter over to the Nuke 7.6 Platinum platform? I installed fine... I used to use it on Nuke 7.5 patched and 7.6 patched. but for some reason under the create newsletter screen I don't see any preview, test or submit buttons. Instead the last block displayed is :

Sponsors

Unable to get banner information.

That's it.... I recall there was a preview or a test for admin only... Any ideas what could be going on??

Note from Admin: I moved this post from the "Nuke Hacks" forum to this new Forum to address general questions regarding the HTML Newsletter

I have heard of Nuke Platinum, but have never reviewed it. Is this a fork of Nuke or is this a version of Nuke with a bunch of add-ons? If it is the former (fork), I can't help you. If it is the latter, then it must have a different banner system.

Within the script NW_HNL_Admin.php, you could try the following:

Find the following:

Code:

/************************************************************************
* Display options list for Site Sponsors
************************************************************************/
opentable();
echo "". _HNLSPONSORS ."\n"
." \n";
$sql = "SELECT bid, imageurl, clickurl, alttext FROM ".$prefix."_banner";
$result = $db->sql_query($sql) or die ("Unable to get banner information.");
while (list($bid, $imageurl, $clickurl, $alttext)=$db->sql_fetchrow($result)) {
echo "<INPUT TYPE=radio NAME=\"banner\" VALUE=\"$bid\"";
if ($_POST['banner'] == $bid){
echo " CHECKED";
}
echo ">\n"
."<a href=\"$clickurl\"><img src=\"$imageurl\" alt=\"$alttext\"></a> \n";
}
closetable();
echo " ";

You could try to comment out every line starting with opentable() and ending with the last echo. This might get you beyond the error which is stopping the script (I will have to add this as a Bug Report too to address continuing on if the banner system is different than the base nuke). Of course, you will not have the ability to have banners show up in the newsletter.

No guarantees this will work. Please let me know if it does. Also, can you please direct me to where you got the Nuke Platinum download?

Thanks,

Excellent my friend.... !

That fixed it. Getting me to the right file will help me see where the code conflict is. I commented it out so the scrip finishes ok. I will beta test this and be sure it is working... then see if I can't patch it for Nuke Platinum.
Nuke Platinum runs on a Nuke 7.6 "engine". It is chatserv patched and comes with a number of modules. I recognize you are working on another rev of HTML Newsletter. You might want to consider a version for PNP as it has become fairly popular.

Here are two links to check out if you are interested:

http://www.platinummods.com/ (These folks have taken over support )

http://www.platinumthemes.com (These folks have ported over 80 themes)
Fundametally the folks above believe in version 7.6 as the most stable platform. I find aside from the Themes the code is not too buggered up!

They have a number of mods, blocks and addons but they are sorely lacking in a good HTML Newsletter module.

Thanks for the help.... if I sort out the banners I will let you know... Meanwhile the script appears to be running to completion. Tnx == zzb

Most excellent. Thanks for the links. I am working on another project right now, but should be able to start on the next 1.3 version in about a month. Unfortunately I must single-thread things. Not enough time.

Yo --- your donation module is locked out to only admin. Just thought I's let you know. I wanted to send you a buck or two.
