January 2004: Version 7.1
=========================
- Added Subscription system. With this new feature you can now manage subscriptions to your site. Mainly
designed so webmasters can have subscribed users who pay to be able to remove advertising and/or access
to subscribers only modules. The subscription system lets you set any block of the site to be invisible
for subscribed users, any module can be configured to grant access to subscribed users only and the
banners system will not show any advertising if the user is subscribed. A new function called paid() will
check if the user is subscriber or not. If you want to make some part of the code available for subscriber
users only, you must use the following piece of code:
if (paid()) {
echo "You're a subscribed user...";
}
you can also check if a user isn't a subscriber using the code:
if (!paid()) {
echo "You're NOT a subscribed user...";
}
So, with this you can play a little. But to configure a module for subscribed users only, just use the
modules administration option as usual, see the new option in the "Who can view this" selection box.
Messages system also can be used on the same way. To subscribe a user, he/she must be registered on the
site, then as administrator go and edit the user's account. You'll notice the new options to
subscribe/unsubscribe anyone you want in periods from 1 year to 10 years. The system is created to manage
anual subscriptions only, but I think it's as it must be. Also, in Your_Account module, in the main
window the user will always know how many time remains in his/her subscription. Remember to edit the
config.php file and set $subscription_url variable with the subscription information page on your site.
Enjoy and make some money with your site! :) Hope you like it.

you need to have a directory "/themes/NukeNews/modules/News" and the News replace on it. The system will

depending on what you have active and for registered users only.

graphics need to be on usual place (/images/topics/) but if the system find the existence of the files in the

modified to have this feature working. Please look at the included themes to have some samples.

to see the difference and look at the new /images/directory structure. Basicaly /images/menu/ and /images/webmail
will load the user's menu and WebMail icons respectively if specific file names exists. Take a look.
All new icons are used with author's permission, please see CREDITS file for more information.

the system automaticaly selects the usual bars files (leftbar.gif, mainbar.gif and rightbar.gif). Additionaly you
can have another file called "survey_mainbar_d.gif" (see the "_d"). This graphic, if exists, will be added each
25% in the survey bar. This can help you to decorate your Survey bars. Statistics bars are the usual ones. Try it!
- Fixed user session save function before show left blocks
- Solved the looooong dilema about Module's Copyright information. There is a new file called "copyright.php"
in the module's directory. Please take a look at /modules/Addon_Sample/ and see this file. Modules/Addons
developers can edit this file filling the required data and then copy this file into your module's directory.
To see it working just go to Addon Sample module and look the little copyright stick at the bottom right of
the module's table. If you don't put this file into the module's directory nobody will see that stick. Hope
users play fair on this and solved a big user's issue about the copyright messages.
- Added 5 new themes and changed the default one from NukeNews to Sand_Journey
- Added a very nice feature to allow registered users to publish Public Messages which will be available in any
page of the site to other users for a period of 10 minutes. Each message can be viewed just one time per user
and any registered user can also turn off this feature from its preferences page. To have this feature working
you need to use the new function "public_message()" located in mainfile.php and need to be added where you want
it in your themes files. The function returns $public_msg with all the needed stuff (table, colors, message, etc).
You can see samples of how to use it by viewing the default system themes. All themes that comes with PHP-Nuke 6

February 2002: Version 5.5
==========================
- Added a very cool function to check if a module is activated. Call it: is_active("Module_Name");
Returns 1 if active or 0 if not. Use the module "title" in the database to make the check
This will help in the future to really integrate all modules with the core system and to establish
some dependencies between parts of the site.
- Added Send Private Message to any user from Your Account page, also check if user exists
- Removed some unused variables in user's system when edit home and theme

including all blocks' texts are in the usual directory /language/ and each module has its own language directory.
This is more annoying to translate but the performance gain is great. There is anew function to call translations
from a module, you can use the following syntax:
require_once("mainfile.php");
$module_name = basename(dirname(__FILE__));
get_lang($module_name);
- Added TRANSLATION text file with translations credits (Reason: too complicated to strip the credits from each
translation with the script that modularized them, anyway is much more organized on this way and we can save
previous translations credits in a more easy way)

this warning has been added on INSTALL file and in the default system message in bold fonts.)
- Topics module now opens a new index instead of search page (search option enabled at the top of the page)
- Fixed a typo in the downloads module and in the Top's page (downloads stats)
- Added article's rating system

- Added Score information in $morelink
- Added Score information in Stories Archive
- Fixed some english translation typos in Web Links module
- Fixed links and downloads categories parentid fields type, changed from tinyint() to int()
- Added GZ compression to increase the load speed (This function requires at least PHP 4.0.4 compiled with zlib,
so if you want to remove it, just delete the first code line in mainfile.php where you read: ob_start("ob_gzhandler");
Thanks for this suggestion goes to Andrej Lesjak from http://www.poljub.com)
