Read the HowToInstall and search the forums and you should find the answers.

If you are still not sure post back.

i dont know how to open the files, there all in php and i dont know what program opens them

OK, well I use Notepad++ to read the files and edit them.

You'll need to setup a database and change your config.php to match your database settings. Upload the files to your webspace and then have a read of the HowToInstall directory. You can also read it here:

That will tell you the next step.

it worked. thanks. now i have another problem. i went to load the theme through file manager and put it as my theme. when i saved changes and refreshed my explorer, the page was blank, i tried going to my admin.php page and that was blank too

Sorry please can you clarify where you changed the theme?

You need to change it through the admin panel in Nuke. The default will be fisubice, so must upload this as a minimum.

If you get blank pages the first thing to do is to turn on error reporting in the config.php file and post the results here, but don't post the entire filepaths, just the end bits. Wink

I also have an account with Siteground. Had no problems with the Installation, at least nothing Siteground specific.

Hope you can solve your problems. Wink

it was when i put my theme up, it just messed up. thanks

So lets go back a few steps.

I assume the site was working with the default fisubice theme?

Then you uploaded your new theme and changed it to your new theme within the admin panel?

Now you are getting a blank page and the above errors?

What theme are you trying to use?

the only problem was when i uploaded it, instead of uploading the ct_green file, i uploaded the folder it came in, which was http. from this point. is where i got the blank page after making the http my theme.

OK, so the messages you are getting is due to the files not being found.

A few things you can do to fix then.

Edit your database to point back to fisubice, then reload the theme using the correct directory and change back to your theme. If you do a search in the forums you will find discussions on this from previous problems people have had.

Excellent.

It can be a steep learning kerb if you are just starting out and sometimes learning the hard way it better. Laughing

Stick with it and it will be worth it in the end. Wink

On your first point, you could use the Content module, or the News module. The Content module sounds like it might be more appropriate.

On your second point, since the new version of RN was released there has since been a new version of the forums released. Evaders has provided the new BBTONUKE to convert the forums. Have a look at the news here on the homepage and you will find the links to the new files.

ya, i thought it was the content, but i dont see where it shows up when i save an activate it.

how do i get it to show on the nav bar?

Got to the nuke admin area.
Click on the link to 'Modules'
Look down the row of installed modules till you find 'Content' then click the 'Activate'. Smile

I see the Content module in your left hand menu.

Why did you rename GCalendar to Calender in the copyright pop-up box? That isn't the name of the module.

oneunit · Regular Joined: Feb 18, 2008 Posts: 94

was i not supposed to?

oh and your right i do see the content module, but i was wondering how i can have the "about us" page be on the navigation?
a theme cpanel install came with it that puts the links above below the header but i dont know how to install it

You shouldn't "monkey" with the copyright information. Someone spent a lot of time on that module. Wink

You need to ditch the default modules block and make a custom one. Then you can add a link that goes directly to your About Us content page.

How to do this? You could try the Sommaire block if you are a non-programmer. But I found it frustrating and difficult to use. You could just make your own HTML block in admin panel / blocks. And finally you could just make your own PHP file block.
