Thx for all your help.
For a number of reasons, I I'm making the switch to PostNuke. First,
the client is very picky about e-mail addresses going public. In fact,
the people who would be members are spam-magnets, I need to minimize
risk. Next, I wanted to add some custom modules as well as add security
to help with this. If you have admin access to a php-nuke, go to
admin.php, click on "edit admins". See those check boxes? To add
another, you need to wade through a LOT of spaghetti code. I did it.
I'm wary of more walls of spaghetti looming around the next corner.
Next, I tried to add a calendar module. Took the tarball, untarred it
in the php-nuke directory, THEN started to look for the readme. It's
open source *NIX, right? That's the way open source *NIX people style
their code right? The older the app the more likely that it's
modularized objectified, right? Nope, the central php files were
clobbered with very bastardized versions containing text that I should
have cut-and-pasted into the existing php files.
BAH
