[quote=Anonymous]I finally found some time to get this working.
However, I did run into a few snags along the way.
The first problem was I did not use your suggested index.php for TNG. This caused TNG to not open up inside postnuke. Can you make it more clear in the readme that this needs to be done or add this as a step.
Another problem was with the headstone link on the index.php you suggest.  I believe Line 51 should be 
[quote]  <li><a href="<?php echo getURL( "browsemedia"      , 1 )."mediatypeID=headstones" ?>"><?php echo $text[headstones]   ?></a></li>[/quote]
The third problem is the Welcome sign on the index page, it should say "welcome guest" but the guest is missing. It is showing "Welcome Admin" when I am logged in.
My fourth question is about the admin page. The tng admin page opens in an Iframe with horizontal bars in some pages, is this normal or should it open in a seperate window or...?
Lastly, Regarding the links. Which one should be used TNG or pntng? They have different urls but they go to pretty much the same place. The only difference is pntng has a "Welcome to Postnuke" message above it.[/quote]

Posts: 82	Patrick, Yes you are correct. I figured this out a couple of days ago and wanted to work up a version that would work for both PostNuke .800 and .764. They now use different variable names for the information. I also wanted to test it out a bit. I emailed you a version that I believe fixes the problem.

Posts: 17	The "URL" doesn't work either and I am not smart enough to figure that one out. I just know it is stored in the PN_user_data table on row 2 of the pn_uda_id field. I hope that helps.

Posts: 17	In order to get the real name from PN you need to change line 149 in pnuserapi.php from name to _urealname. And...possibly on lines 199 and 200? So, now when you are logged on the user information in tng is like this: username admin description patrick real name patrick Prior to fixing the real name issue it was like this: username admin description admin real name blank There might be a problem with this in that your index_pntng.php file has Quote if( $currentuser ) { echo " $text[welcome] $currentuserdesc. \n"; } ?> This will now show the real name instead of the user name. I personally do not care which one it shows, I just wanted to make you aware of it. Patrick

Posts: 82	It is still working with PostNuke 764. I've confirmed it is not updating correctly with PostNuke 80x. It appears that the way to obtain user information may have changed in PostNuke. I'm still investigating.

Posts: 17	sorry, forgot to answer your question. QuoteHave you checked the pnTNG option to keep TNG user information up to date (near the bottom)? Yes I have that option checked.

Posts: 17	Wendel, The real name, or true name in postnuke, was filled in prior to setting up tng. I also tried deleting the username in tng and then logging back in but it still does not pass through. Just to run by you what info got passed to tng: The guest account has username--Guest and description--blank and real name--Guest Account The admin account has username--admin and description--admin and real name--blank(should be patrick) If you are also trying to pass over the website url then that is also blank. If you need access to my site let me know I can email you my information. Patrick

Posts: 82	By "not passing through to tng", you mean in the User data on TNG, or on the login screen from index_pnTNG.php (renamed to index.php)? I'm assuming you mean to the actual TNG user data. If so, a few more questions: Did you have the real name set when pnTNG created the TNG user? I'm assuming you have that option checked in the pnTNG options. Have you checked the pnTNG option to keep TNG user information up to date (near the bottom)? edited by: Wendel, Apr 27, 2008 - 12:04 AM

Posts: 17	Wendel, I got your email, it works great now. However, I found another problem. My realname from postnuke is not passing through to tng. Patrick

Posts: 82	Patrick, Sorry, I had a syntax error in index_pnTNG.php on line 19. I will email you a new version. Ahh, so the scroll bars. I think I understand. I don't know a way around that right now. The whole administration part of TNG is not compatible with direct access through PostNuke. Hence the use of the IFRAMES there. You can always forgo doing administration items in PostNuke and access directly. You can then add your own .htaccess file to add an extra layer of login/password. - Wendel
