Hi!

Since I have bad experience, not with opn, but with cms systems who should be compatible with postgres i just want to get sure: Is opn really working with postgres?

Thanks!

Dready

Yes, it should be possible. We haven't tested it in all details.

If you want to go this approach and report us the problems (if there are some) we will fix them for sure.

We know what you mean with "they claim its possible"...
OPN has some other structures including a way to be realy SQL-Type independence.

Alex

Thank you for the quick response! Good to hear!

At the moment i am not sure which cms i will use, but i keep you informed.

I have another question: Since opn originated from phpnuke i am curios if there is a way to port phpnuke addons to opn?

Dready

when you talk about addons you mean modules?

OPN already has about 60-100 modules, which covers the most know nuke modules. To "convert" a nuke module to a opn module it's not that easy as its sounds, since opn has a real module enviroment, strukture, etc.. Its possible, but its not done within 5 minutes.

If you just mean convert your data (stored in a database), we have a cross-upgrade to do this. Actually the nuke2opn Cross-Upgrade is not activated. I need some real nuke DB dump with data to finish it (errors will be easier to find with some data).

Alex

actually i meant modules.. i did not know that there were already about 100 modules there ...

I thought there are only a hand full of modules available at the moment ..

One last question: Is there an installation script for postgres available or do i have to do that manually?

well, it's opn. Just select in the install script (at step 2 i think) postgreSQL as your db server and continue the steps as requested in the installer. (check out the version - I think it's a different driver for postgreSQL 7.x)

In OPN its not expected that you do anything manually (exept copying the files to the webspace). All the rest could (should ) be done in your browser. As I said before: we had taken some more steps in code to bring a "real" database-type independence.

If you run into any problems feel free to post them here that we have them fixed.

Alex

ok, you got me.

I will try opn under postgres, i keep you informed how it works.

Thanks!

Dready

I love it!

It's amazing how easy the install procedure goes! if you program it right

Really good work!
