CMS Forum Members Hack v1.10 BETA

[Patrick]

Well, another release. This time however, I am going to release it as beta first.

This new version *should* support IPB 2.0 PF4.

I am releasing this as beta because I have done some major code writing / modifications in order to add support for IPB 2.0's password encryption scheme (while keeping support for old IPB 1.3).

I haven't done alot of testing on any of it yet. All I have done is completed an IPB 2.0, e107 0.616, and hack install, compared passwords for logging in, and utilized IPB's change password feature, all of which showed success.

As with all betas, I wouldn't recommend installing this on anything other than a dev site.

[BrainDamage]

Does this have redirection ? or the choice page thing ??

[Carnage]

Ya it would be great where is still many bugs in the scrpts. Like showing list of users, bad redirections etc. Plz Patiek you are the only person that can manage to make it perfect.

[Carnage]

One more thing i have used your older version on e107 617 and it works nice. User infos arent working well thats all. (http://Overmind.pl/).

[Patrick]

Thanks for the feedback, I will have to update it then when I get the time.

[kiwus]

Is it going to be like the hack with 1.3 or will it be a proper integration?
A perfect integration hack for me:
-one registration (in forums or in cms) and one member database (without this redirection stuff)
-users after logging in get info about posts,pm on ibforums
-forums are displayed outside the cms (not as inline)
-sessions/cookies work good, there are no errors in 'remember me' option on both forums and cms

God bless the one that makes it

The one member database is not a good idea. Relying on one member database will result in massive file modifications as well as incompatibility with third party code such as plugins.

That is why this hack does everything you described, but synchronizes the databases so that they contain their original structure (and therefore third party code continues to work).

[kiwus]

A short one: the new hack is for ipb2.0PF4 or 2.0F ?

[Devil]

works with 2.0.0 and 2.0.1

[Patrick]

works with 2.0.0 and 2.0.1
Thanks for confirming that.

I will try to get version 1.1 of this hack released officially by Sunday. If I have extra time I will look into supporting PostNuke.

Sounds good. But ive tested the hack with the new IPB 2.0.2 and it doesnt work!

Yes, it is likely that this script will begin to die with future versions of Invision Power Board.

The problem is that I am not going to put up the money to pay for the forum just to work on it locally. That would be rediculous. I can't just go off of database structure either as I do for my other forum hacks because this hack involves file editing.

Until I find some solution to my problem, it is not likely that I will be able to release any further updates in support of new versions.

[Devil]

shame on me :D im a idiot. I forgot to change the prefix to e107_
Now the hack works perfect with e107 latest release and the IPB 2.0.2!
shame on me :D

[takemefishing]

Brilliant! Thanks a ton mate!
It made a small error in the install, but not a big deal at all. For whatever reason, it named an old member as the 'newest member' on the CMS login menu, but otherwise runs perfect!

[Black Prowler]

shame on me :D im a idiot. I forgot to change the prefix to e107_
Now the hack works perfect with e107 latest release and the IPB 2.0.2!
shame on me :D
well I went back and put in the e107_ prefix and tried it again and still no luck :rolleyes: I keep getting stuck on part one of the installation with an error:

Warning: mysql_fetch_array(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in /home/panther/public_html/e107/CMS_Forum_Hack/classes/mysql.php on line 60

Maybe it won't work with IPB 2.0.3....but takemefishing got his to work. :huh:

This is perplexing! :(

[Carnage]

Hmm viewing members list doesnt work any more after installing the script and will you make thouse redirections working?

[Incognito]

So, Patiek, what about new version with redirction support?
Whet it aprox will be done?

[Incognito]

And one small, but very-good newsitem..
Hack is probably will be working "as its is now" with IPB 2.0.3 and.. upcoming e107 v0.7 (yeah.. just tested on CVS ;-))

So.. we need only redirection :rolleyes:

[Patrick]

I know you guys need the redirection feature. I will try to get it released as soon as I can. I had to first finish the EP-Dev Forum News script for those people who prefer to construct their own page rather than use CMS scripts. I am finished with that now, however, and I will work on this hack in my free time.

[Amel]

thanks patiek

this is a great addition

thanks again ;)

[mystic-dragon]

Hey hey,

I have a question...
Can I use this also to convert or transver users from a
E107 database over to a PHPNuke 7.5 database?
I am looking for a way already for a long time.
But was unsuccessful.. :(
Well.. I hope to get an reply soon.. Thanks a lot people.. :)

(users is my first mission to make them cross over from E107 to PHPNuke,
My second mission and final mission is to get the forums to cross over to the other side.... :P )

[Patrick]

The most this script can do as far as transfer goes is:
IPB -> Nuke
or
IPB -> e107

as you can see, e107 -> Nuke, is impossible.

Also keep in mind that the script not only doesn't transfer the way you want it to, it also removes all CMS users in favor of forum users.

[takemefishing]

I have this running perfectly on my 2.0.2 board, but when I installed it on a friends 2.0.3 board, a problem occurs which has to be about cookies. The log in on the e107 bounces you to the forum, which is fine except when you return to the e107, you are not logged in. Thus any 'members only' areas are inaccessible. I'll try messing with the settings to see if I can adjust the cookies to work...

[takemefishing]

Okay..here's what I found..if I log in via the admin area I get an ecookie, if I log in via the main page I do not cause the log in is being done by the board instead. Is there a way to get the board to install an ecookie?

[Patrick]

The whole purpose of the hack is to install the cookie.

Make sure that you have e107 using cookies and not sessions.

[takemefishing]

It is set for cookies on the site. Can't figure it out at all. I'll check the DB to make sure it is set for cookies not sessions.

[Black Prowler]

I could never get this hack to install correctly. :blink:

[Patrick]

I could never get this hack to install correctly. :blink:
What versions of software were you using? I may need to update the script to support new CMS / forum versions.

The software works fine with a default install of the CMS & Forum versions listed within the script.

[Devil]

btw. it works with the beta of e107 0.7!
IPB is a 2.0.3

[Sean]

This thing dont work, what I'm looking for is a tool that allows e107 members to be transfered into IPB members, not IPB members to E107 members...Can this be done?

[Patrick]

Yes, this can be done. A simple PHP script can accomplish this.

When I have some free time I will type up such a script. It is actually rather simple, it is as easy as a) Pulling members down from e107 db, B ) inserting members into ipb within some default values.

There is only one sticking point and that is if you are using IPB 2.x, in which case additional considerations must be taken in the generation of a salt and password in the form of:


$final_ipb_pass = md5 ( md5 ( SALT ) . md5 (RAW_PASSWORD) );


or in the case of an already md5 hashed e107 pass:


$final_ipb_pass = md5 ( md5 ( SALT ) . e107_USERPASS_FROM_DB );

[Sean]

I realy don't understand what MySQL or anything...How long will it be before you could make a script that takes the e107 members & passwords, and put them in the IPB databse, along with the user ids and stuff??

[Patrick]

When I have some free time I will type up such a script.
Just as I said. Currently I am working on / finishing multiple projects:

Project (Percent Finished)
-----------------------------------
EP-Dev Whois (95%)
CMS Forum Members Hack (70%)
EP-Dev Counter (20%)
Uploaderz.com (5%)
dev-links.net (0%)
websitewares.com (0%)

And to top all of that off I manage a hosting company that has over 50 clients that requires daily attention.

I will probably try to create a script for you between one of my projects, hopefully between the whois and the hack. If only one could create such free programs all day long.

[Devil]

i have a new project for you. Pls code a clandatabase mod with some custom fields.

Patiek, I hope new version of CMS Forum Hack , will work ok with upcoming e107 ver 0.7? *and ofcourse with redirect 2 place, where login was maded from :)*
If yes... just no words... can`t wait for it :)

Its still working with upcoming e107 v0.7!

[Sean]

I'm just wondering like a rough estimant. Like a week or so?

[mspisars]

Now the script worked, and I am surprised how well it worked.
But here are the list of errors I have encountered.
1st I am using IPB 1.3 Final and e107 .617

Installation went fine, smooth, beautiful, instructions are great.
The problems all lie in links, Link on login sends to forum (you know) the next page link on Member list takes you straight to the next member profile, not the rest of the list. Logout takes you to the forum (I guess its tied to login somewhere) and thats what I have found so far, I have only had your script running for 48 hrs as of now, so if I find anythingI will inform youAgain I appreciate your work, and I am not trying to rag on you or anything, just wanna help out..
One question...
When do you think an update for the script will be released? or an updated script, because I am transfering my site over to e107, but this one thing is holding me up at the moment.

an extra thing that I noticed just now, if I log out of the forum, it does not log me out on the e107 cms... so that would be another thing that could be fixed.
I will just keep on adding things here, unless there is a prefference.

No. It was working with some earlier CVS versions.

[Carnage]

i am testing your great hack with e107 617 and IPB 2.03. I hope you will make a new version for v0.7 e107 and if you could please make thouse additional modifications that is mspisars talking about moust painfull negligence is thet i cant view members of my e107. And ofcourse the wrong redirections i am use to it now bu it could look better maybe an automatic redirection to portal after logiing to forum? PLz work on your hack its realy great and it doesnt need much work to be perfect. I shell test it and make some more additional bug info for you.

[Sean]

Just wandering, have you had time to make such a script that I need yet?

[Patrick]

I finally finished and released my whois script (that was a monster for me to work on alone) so I will see if I can't get 2.0 of this script out soon.

Let me make sure that I am getting this straight:
- IPB 2.x works fine
- e107 (latest release) is broken in one or more areas
- PHP-Nuke we have no idea ;)

Is all of that correct? I will see if I can't add simple module creation instructions to my next release as well, as it is relatively simple to create updates for certain versions in the new versions for any average PHP programmer (even a novice may be capable).

[Incognito]

PHP-Nuke must die :rolleyes:

Hack (at the moment) is working fine with IPB 2.0.x
Also it`s working with e107 0.617 & 0.616
But it doesn`t working at all with e107 version 0.700. New login code.

Seems to me, u only have to do a small patch for version 0.7...

And.. yeah.. you MUST :D make an after-login redirect to page, from login was maded

Ok.

And my personal feelings are that all CMS scripts are very poorly written (open one up and look for yourself). e107 is one of the worst. They need to do a complete rewrite of their code before it is respectable. PHP-Nuke is another horrible one, as its code is often full of old PHP code that makes it vulnerable to a variety of attacks.

[mspisars]

Patiek as long as you get those fixes thats all i need, if you scroll up you will see the errors that have been encountered, many times, not just a screw up somewhere, but repeats.
And I normally give a script a good period for testing before I use it, and I really would like to use that script now tho....
cause that script would save me a lot of stress!
Thanks in advance.

Dev-Forums is simply the support forum of the scripts I release under http://www.ep-dev.com

[DirtyD]

well im using nuke and ipb 1.3 and used the hack on ep-dev, the only thing that is not working right for me is when someone signs up for the site and forum it makes two of their names on the site, but only one on the forum memberlist, i would like it so that it only makes one for both so that my memberlist isn't double what it actually is. Also what do you do to make it so that people click on the private messages module go to the forum private messages same with the your account module, since the normal nuke forums is disabled.

[damien]

Hi,

I'm very interested in this script! For the record, I'm looking to use it with IPB 2.0.3 and e107.

However, could someone (either an end-user or Patiek) explain the current status of this hack? From reading this thread I'm a little unsure what will/won't work at present.

Obviously I hope to install this script and see for myself so I can provide my own feedback, but it would be useful to have someone point out the general consensus so I am aware whether I am raising new issues or covering old ground.

Sorry! I have read this thread, it's just a bit segmented.

I appreciate you have other things to do with your life Patiek, but could you give some sort of indication as to when you expect to release a stable version of this script?

On a side-note, IPB is on sale atm so it's a good time for anyone after it to buy. I should also let you know that if you buy a yearly license you are not obliged to renew it (the product remains registered, just you don't receive upgrades or support).

[mspisars]

any progress on the debugging for this script?
just wondering.
K thanks

[Pho3nix]

Perhaps bugs:

a) if I edit my profile in e107, I first go to the e107 part and when i save it, i 'll be redirectet to the IPBs one and I am forced to put it again in to the boxes...

B) if I log in in the page, I go to the forum, but couldn't you find a solution, which redirects me to the e107 page?

c) if I go back from the forum after login, to e107, I am not logged in, although I logged in in this box!! after reloding i'm logged in, but probably not everybody has the Idea... so hope you can find a solution again!

but at all your script is really nice!!

thx PHo3nix

[Vietkid58]

um, questions about this, where do we upload the folder to run the stuff?

[Patrick]

um, questions about this, where do we upload the folder to run the stuff?
In your e107 root folder (the folder containing all the e107 files and subfolders) is the best place to upload this entire folder.

[RedFalcon]

And.. yeah.. you MUST :D make an after-login redirect to page, from login was maded
I'm also waiting for this feature B) .

[d_v_pelt]

how is the progress going?

[Patrick]

I am actively working on it.

[RedFalcon]

Yuhu :D

[Amel]

great news

cant wait

:D

[d_v_pelt]

Ok, it has been a while... How is the progress going now?

[Patrick]

I'll release it next Friday (22nd July).

[d_v_pelt]

Great tnx!

[amconteh]

K i have one question will this new release work with nuke 7.7?

[well]

I'll release it next Friday (22nd July).
Is there any chance for this friday (29 Jul)? Cause i'm beggining to think of modding the script to support 0.7 by myself...

I know, it is delayed. I work on these scripts in my free time and if I have paid work I stop working on them (because food and shelter must come first).

As for the script, I am trying to create it in a manner that will allow for automatic updates and it has a new core setup.

Feel free to create a new module for anything while I am working on the current code. I actually intended for the code to be able to do this. Simply copy cms-e107_0.616.php and rename it (ex: cms-e107_0.7.php) and the script will automatically pick it up.

The files are commented so most of it should be obvious.

[wooks]

i've installed version ep-dev-CMS_Forum_Hack-1.10-BETA on e107_v0617 with invision 2.0.3 and it worked perfectly 1st time.

only problem i have is the redirect to the forums on login and logout. is there any way i can change this so members stay on e107 ?

thanks.
