PostNuke

Footnote: 1

On my website ( http://www.inscifi.net ) there is a dropdown list at the top of the screen of all our topics. I would like this to, when selected, just bring up all the articles like they appear on the hompeage.

I hope this is not too confusing..can anyone help?

But since I need to translate, I explored a little further.

If I decide to go with main menu in english and translate "My Account", then this item alone looses its ability to be hidden. The same happens if I translate "Adminitration" separately. It will still show after logging out from the admin account.

This is not an impediment that would jeopardize the usability of the site, but it is still annoying enough to let it be known.

I'm aware of the tip in the README regarding a ML compatible Main Menu, but I couldn't make much sense of it because I dont have a "Link List Block" among the available options for a new block in admin.php?op=AdvBlocksAdmin.

Does anybody know about a workaround for this situation?

I especially like the module called article chat. It is essentially a bar chart listing those top 5 articles and those with the most discussion.

The mod would do the following:-

1) Disable [userid] where there are [x] failed attempts to login without success. Email to [userid] and also to [siteadmin]. Account can only be reactivated by admin.

2) Add new table to PN which will contain access log and IP address, userid, success/fail detais. Add new column to user to indicate failed attempts since last login.

3) Add IP address + timestamp to syslog every time there is a successful or unsuccesful login attempt. Increment counter on failed attempt, set to 0 on success. Log IP address to 'blacklist' on failed.

4) After [x] failed attempts from a given IP address in a given period, blacklist the IP. Mod to index.php (or modload?) which checks if the IP is blacklisted and, if so, directs to a new screen which indicates that the IP has been blacklisted and how, if this is not valid, to go about getting the sysadmin to unlock.

5) Would also require admin option to manage blacklisted users and IPs to re-enable.

Last, but not least, it would be nice if (a) we removed the login blocks from the main page and (b) had a parm to indicate that the redirect to user.php should only use https:// so that all the logins are conducted securely.

Any thoughts guys.....

I've tracked down a few hosts that are specifically set up to handle *Nuke, and other PHP/MySQL CMS sites. I'm really impressed with hostnuke.com. I know there are others, such as nuke-hosting.com.

Here's what I want to know, so I'm throwing it out to the *nuke community.

1. Is there a master list and comparison of all known nuke hosts?

2. Does anybody know the technical details of the well known nuke hosts, like server info and connection info?

3. Personal experiences with various nuke hosts from webmasters?

Any other comments or recommendations about *nuke hosting?
