Solution:
This requires a small core hack. Open /nucleus/media.php and find this bit of code:

// defines how much media items will be shown per page. You can override this
// in config.php if you like. (changing it in config.php instead of here will
// allow your settings to be kept even after a Nucleus upgrade)
$CONF['MediaPerPage'] = 10;

A simpler solution as per the comments in media.php is to simply add this line to your config.php file:

$CONF['MediaPerPage'] = X;

Solution:
Make sure your copy of index.php has its file permissions set correctly on your server to 644.

Plugin NP_PluginName was not loaded (Class not found in file, possible parse error)

Solution:
Please check the following:

• The file name of the plugin must have the same case as the actual plugin code. For example, if the plugin code says:

  class NP_PluginName extends NucleusPlugin {

  
  you need to make sure your plugin file is called NP_PluginName.php.
• The permissions of your plugin file are set to 644 so your web server can read the file correctly.

How do I fix this?"

Solution:
Double check and make sure you have done the following:

• All plugin files should be of the form (case matters): NP_PluginName.php and the corresponding folder (if it exists) should have a name of (again case matters): pluginname.
• Make sure the file permissions for the php files are set to 644.
• Make sure the folder permissions are set to 755.

Solution:
Use the new skin variable <%currentcat%> to generate your CSS class. This variable will return either a "yes" value if the current category is active or a "no" value if the category is not the currently active category.

In the "Category List Item" section of your template, put something like this in the html tag you are using to generate your category list (e.g. a li tag, etc):

class="currcat<%currentcat%>"

In your .css file, make sure you define the CSS classes .currcatyes (for the current active category) and .currcatno (for all other categories) as desired.

Solution:
Yes, you can!

1. Find the language file for your language (e.g. /nucleus/language/english.php. Make a backup of this file before you make any changes!
2. Look for the constants _QMENU_INTRO and _QMENU_INTRO_TEXT.
3. Change their values to whatever you want.
4. Remember to keep a backup of your modified language file, as it will be overwritten then next time you upgrade Nucleus.

PHP Warning: tmpfile() [function.tmpfile]: open_basedir restriction in effect. File(/tmp) is not within the allowed path(s): (/xxx) in xxx/nucleus/libs/skinie.php on line 143, referer: http://xxx/Nucleus/nucleus/index.php?action=skinieoverview

How do I fix this?!"

Solution:
This may be due to your host have PHP safe_mode turned on. You can fix this by doing the following core hack:

1. Using your host's file manager or your FTP browser, create a new folder somewhere in your public directory and call it /tmp/.
2. Open up /nucleus/libs/skinie.php and go line line 145 and find this code:
   

   		$temp = tmpfile();
   		fwrite($temp, $tempbuffer);
   		rewind($temp);
    
   		while ( ($buffer = fread($temp, 4096) ) && (!$metaOnly || ($metaOnly && !$this->metaDataRead))) {
   			$err = xml_parse( $this->parser, $buffer, feof($temp) );
   			if (!$err && $this->debug)
   				echo 'ERROR: ', xml_error_string(xml_get_error_code($this->parser)), '';
   		}
    
   		// all done
   		$this->inXml = 0;
   		fclose($temp);

3. Replace with this code:
   

         $tmpfile = tempnam( '/path/to/writable/folder/', 'tmpfile') or die('could not create file');
         $temp = fopen($tmpfile,'w+');
         fwrite($temp, $tempbuffer);
         rewind($temp);
    
         while ( ($buffer = fread($temp, 4096) ) && (!$metaOnly || ($metaOnly && !$this->metaDataRead))) {
            $err = xml_parse( $this->parser, $buffer, feof($temp) );
            if (!$err && $this->debug)
               echo 'ERROR: ', xml_error_string(xml_get_error_code($this->parser)), '';
         }
    
         // all done
         $this->inXml = 0;
         fclose($temp);
         unlink($tmpfile);

   You will need to make sure that you replace /path/to/writable/folder/ with the path to the folder /tmp/ you created above. Save your changes and you should be done!

Solution:
This will require a small core hack. Open /nucleus/libs/COMMENTS.php and find the following code:

   // don't allow words that are too long
        if (eregi('[a-zA-Z0-9|\.,;:!\?=\/\\]{90,90}',$comment['body']) != false)
        return _ERROR_COMMENT_LONGWORD;

Similarly, open /nucleus/libs/ADMIN.php and find this code:

		// intercept words that are too long
		if (eregi("[a-zA-Z0-9|\.,;:!\?=\/\\]{90,90}",$body) != false)
			$this->error(_ERROR_COMMENT_LONGWORD);

Solution:
As of 16 November 2008, there is no plugin that automatically deletes blog items after a certain time. However, here is a manual solution:

1. Open up your index.php in the root directory of your Nucleus installation and add following code:
   

   selectBlog('shortblogname');

   after this line:

   include('./config.php');

   where shortblogname is the short name of your blog that contains the items on display.
2. Create a second blog called "Archive" through your Admin area in the "Create New Weblog" menu. There is no need to create a copy of index.php for this though. This blog will just sit in your Admin area and hold your archived items.
3. Manually move each item from your blog to the new Archive blog as they get bumped off the page.

Any web agent that loads the config.php file will see a blank page. No bot can get around this since the server will render the .php file using a PHP parser and no text is output by the php in that file.

It is suspect only to those who have access to the server through other non-http ways (file or shell access to your directories). This would happen because you gave someone access to your hosting account (through control panel or ftp account), or because your hosting provider's server has been compromised through some kind of server-wide hack.

So, in principle, it is very secure on a secured server and this means of storing config info is common practice for most PHP-based applications.
