Unregistered User	Hi, Just wondering if you are planning on a new release for PN .8? Also, are you still planning an update to pntng for tng 6.2? Thanks Patrick

Many of the modules work fine in the update process. So I am hopeful it will be the same for pnTNG (famous last words, eh?) In the past, I've tried to bring pnTNG up to all the coding standards for PostNuke. I'm hoping that pays off. Also, with the new Content module coming on board for PostNuke .8, I'm toying with the idea of adding some more blocks -- like a search block, Top x surname list block, Display Photo block, etc. So the blocks could be easily added to a home page. Just in the thinking stage on those. So feedback/thoughts would be welcome. And yes, the update for TNG 6.2 was pushed on the stack and buried. I'll try to get that out soon. - Wendel

Unregistered User	Thanks for the update! I can't wait to try out the .8 version. Hopefully everything goes smoothly. Patrick

PostNuke has made some big changes with .800, but for the most part things are still backwards compatible. There were a few quirks to work out: You can't access items in the modules directory directly. Therefore by default you can no longer get to TNG directly, nor run any of the administration tools. It can be overcome by adding a .htaccess file in the TNG directory. So this file will now be included in the TNG folder of pnTNG. PostNuke would not recognize the TNG directory as a module without a pnversion.php file. So this has been added to the TNG folder in pnTNG. It has the added benefit that now in the PostNuke Module module, your TNG module will now show the official TNG name and version number from TNG's files. For the moment I think things will work ok. Hopefully there will not be any hiccups with the final released version of PostNuke .800 (or PostNuke's new name 1.0). If anyone wants to beta test things, let me know and I will email you a version to try. - Wendel

Unregistered User	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 <a href="<?php echo getURL( "browsemedia" , 1 )."mediatypeID=headstones" ?>"><?php echo $text[headstones] ?> 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.

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. I will update the readme.txt to state you must have an index.php file. QuoteAnother problem was with the headstone link on the index.php you suggest... You are correct. I will update that as well. QuoteThe 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. This works for me. The only thing I can think of .... possibly the TNG description for the user "Guest" did not have a description. I put in a check to use the userid (in this case "Guest") if the user description field is blank in TNG. I also found a spot where the guest account was created as "Guest" even if you chose a different name. So I think that is correct now. Please let me know if this corrected the problem. QuoteThe 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...? It should open in an Iframe. The way TNG uses frames, it is the only way I could get it to work. I'm not sure what you mean by horizontal bars. There are stripes on some of the images (around the big TNG) and the background. Not sure what other bars you are talking about. Can you describe better or email a screen shot to pntng@voigtworld.com QuoteRegarding the links. Which one should be used TNG or pntng? The pntng links are a leftover from a prior way of integrating TNG with PostNuke. At this point, the best way to call the links is with TNG (or whatever you name your TNG module.) I've redone pntng.php to basically mimic that call now. That was done for those that might have had an old link. I'm emailing you an update version for you to try. Among the things I added was a search feature for .800 You can now search for TNG people names from the PostNuke search function. - Wendel

Unregistered User	Hi Wendel, I found a problem in the new code in index_pnTNG.php. When opening the link to tng a white screen appears with no errors. When using the file from beta1 it works again except for the guest problem of course. QuoteIt should open in an Iframe. The way TNG uses frames, it is the only way I could get it to work. I'm not sure what you mean by horizontal bars. There are stripes on some of the images (around the big TNG) and the background. Not sure what other bars you are talking about. Can you describe better or email a screen shot to pntng@voigtworld.com I was speaking of the horizontal scroll bar in some tng admin screens (ie. user management). It's not a concern when you access administration directly like this /modules/genealogy/administration/. But I was hoping to block direct access somehow. Thanks

registered: Jun. 2005 Posts: 82 Status: offline last visit: 03.05.08	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

registered: Jun. 2005 Posts: 82 Status: offline last visit: 03.05.08	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

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
