UBB.Developers Forums UBB.threads 7 Development How Do I? Threads integrated with PostNuke 7.2+

I've been a customer of scream's wwwthreads for years and have used the forums quite a lot. But I have yet to try to use it with any of my PostNuke sites.

Before I purchase (yet) another lisence I would like to know if there are any hack/modules/work arounds that would allow ubbthreads to be used with the database of PostNuke 7.2+?

TIA

Hey Brew, I've seen threads 5.5 modified to work with a bit older pn (actually pn was modified to work with threads), but not recently. What features are you wanting in pn that's not in IIP?

IIP?

IIP is Integrated Index Pal.... (the home page here).

It's available in the "Forum Design Integration" forum.

Looks similar to PN....kinda sorta...It's nice!

But just not robust enough for my needs

I really need UBBT to work with PN

PS....I wish you'd turn off host monitoring....I have to disable Norton Firewall to post here....Something I hate doing

Here's a related postnuke thread at Infopop:

IIP's becoming more and more robust... please stand by. (well not really... go do something)

as a dev site, no way jose Running this site and ubbdev for the last few years, I know we are the subject of lots of hack attempts... the referrer check keeps someone from running local scripts and hacking our site, or at least slows them down


What do you like about post nuke that you don't see in IIP? I've asked a few people and haven't gotten answers yet... if I find out I can bug dave for them

hehe I think that by the time I get to IIP 7.0 it will start to shadow some *nuke portals out there.

The main, number one, issue would be module compatibility between those modules made for PN and IIP (So IIP would be able to run most PN modules).

Like being able to run the image gallery module, the different chat scripts, etc etc,....

Check out my newest site....

You'll see how many of the PN modules we are running.

Heavy Loads:
PN can handle heavy work loads....From Thursday last week to Sunday morning we had well over 250,000 page requests and 111,000 unique hosts....we had only one hic-cup where one of the modules couldn't handle the load and we had to disable it (AdvStats.....where every page view was creating about 150 to 160 sql requests! ) This represented nearly 10gigs of B/W. So what I'm saying is that IIP would have to be able to handle this.

Permission Systems and User Groups:
Among the best things about PN is a very involved permissions system where I can dole out different levels of authority to different Users Groups. Like I have several Site Admins in a "site admin" user group.....I have given this group a wide range of authority to do pretty much anything except those things I feel could disable the site....like not letting them have the ability to change permissions or modules etc. In another group I have news posters....so all they can really do, over and above a regular user, is have admin ability to post news without it being moderated.

These are very important things here and I just don't have the time to continue listing all the things that make PN what it is.... but these are things I would look at before I would consider changing from PN.
