Running your own PostNuke webserver from home

I would first like to extend thanks to the POSTNuke community. I also need to ask help from the community in determining what the server can handle. I need help setting up MAIL service, but that's another story...

Please goto the site and browse around post comments, and please vote on the poll, if possible leave a comment from where you are located and how it is running in the poll area. Don't sign up for an account yet, since I don't have a mail server working it won't email your password to you or throw an error. However, the site is setup to take anonymous content, and anonymous posting in the forums. I am currently working on a tutorial on setting up a home server based on LINUX and running PostNuke.

The benefits of running your own web server from home are that even if you have a small hard drive like 6GB that is more than what most hosting providers will give you, and if you have a broadband connection (DSL or cable) you don't have a bandwidth cap, plus you have total control of your web server, however you are responsible if any problems arise and it is up to you to fix it. Looking forward to anyone who helps out and thanks in advance.

Categories for news like this site?

For instance your new theme has the following links to: In the news, YAPNS, Languages, Ideas, and Questions in the header navigation.

Those links display the news as if the user was inside the news module.

I cant see where to assign a category to a submission so that I may then link to a page as you did that will display all the news under that category and not the topic the user submitted the news under.

I need a solution for .64

Can someone help me and advise me of a module or fix?

Thank you.

Armorama.com Goes Online

The site is using PostBoard 1.1 for the Forum area and Gallery 1.25 for the image gallery. The theme was designed and implemented by myself with help from the PN community. Thanks to everyone who assisted me in getting this site up. Now if I can just upgrade it successfully to .72 and .8! :)

Exchange of Services

One a commercial project I am developing and the other a simple site for my simple web company. If someone is looking for a dedicated, reliable and efficient programmer to develop, manage, install etc a PN site I would be more than happy to provide those services in exchange for some hosting services. Anyone interested in exploring this further, please feel free to get in touch.

Cheers

multisites for offline developers

What I just wish the development team look at is this:

When I connect to the root rogue installation, I 'll be able to load the corresponding postnuke site according to the directory initially called.

For example in my local Apache box:

Site 1
http://localhost/rogue/domain1 will load the domain1 config for my domain1 postnuke site

Site2
http://localhost/rogue/domain2 will load the domain2 config for my domain2 postnuke site

domainN where N= 1 to as many postnuke sites you want

All must utilize a single rogue core install.

So when I decided to publish the portals online,I will only utilize the redirection service of my domains as
http://www.domain1.com will be directed to http://www.hosting.com/rogue/domain1,

http://www.domain2.com will be directed to http://www.hosting.com/rogue/domain1

and so on...

PLease email me at xorprime@yahoo.com for any ideas and updates re: this inquiry.

Thank you and more power to Postnuke!!!

Above are all going to be postnuked as soon as I implemented the Multisite properly.

User Permission Enhancement Suggestion

Hack for NewUser module permission

So here is my hack for allowing site administrator to enable/disable user registration via the new permission system.

First I modify the user.php under NS-NewUser module with the following:

if (!(authorised(0, 'NewUser::', '::', ACCESS_READ))) {


    include 'header.php';


    echo _REGISTERNOAUTH;


    include 'footer.php';


    return;


}

Then I modify the global.php under the module lang eng directory by adding:

define("_REGISTERNOAUTH","Sorry this site does not accept user registration at this moment. Please contact site administrator for requesting user account.");

By default, this is enable. If you want to disable the user registration, just simply add a group permission rule: All Realm, Unregistered,NewUser::,.*,None

Make this rule sequence right after the All realms,Unregistered,Menublock::,Main Menu:(My Account|Logout|Submit News):,None

Then you are set to go. Hope this will help some of the corporate users and may be this can be merged into the core release in the future.
