RavenNuke CMS began in November, 2005, as a distribution of PHP-Nuke that included the Nuke Patched security improvements and fixes from NukeFixes.com, the NukeSentinel security add-on from NukeScripts.net, and other pre-installed add-ons.[1][2] The initial drivers of RavenNuke were the lack of support provided by the author of PHP-Nuke and the implementation of fees to gain access to the latest versions of PHP-Nuke.[3]
While RavenNuke™ has its roots in PHP-Nuke version 7.6, there is no comparing the latest version of RavenNuke™ with its roots! The appearance is much the same but the underlying code is vastly different. As of version 2.40.01, RavenNuke™ has over 20,000 changes, bug fixes, PHP notice fixes, compliance fixes, operational enhancements, and security enhancements.
RavenNuke includes the basic Content Management / Portal functionality of PHP-Nuke but without the recognized and unfixed security concerns of the code upon which it is based.[4][5] RavenNuke also includes advanced user management, extensive group access permissions, an event calendar, advanced newsletter, the ability generate feeds in RSS and ATOM formats for most content types at multiple levels, the ability to display RSS and ATOM feeds, customizable error document handling, site / legal documents, support for friendly URLs, improved email handling, integrated light box and tool tip functions, and 17 W3C-compliant themes. An extensive security system (NukeSentinel)[6] is built in for additional protection.
RavenNuke allows webmasters to create a dynamic community-based portal, with automated content, allowing users and editors to post a wide variety of data such as news articles, forum posts, reviews, polls/surveys, and calendar events. It allows webmasters to automatically generate and override HEAD section tags (title, description and keywords) used by search engines, send HTML newsletters, and track site usage. RavenNuke is compatible with all modern browsers and generates XHTML 1.0 Transitional and CSS 2.1 compliant pages. Additional third party modules may be added to RavenNuke, which is compatible with thousands of available add-ons and themes for PHP-Nuke.[7]
RavenNuke can support multiple languages simultaneously. The look and feel can be customized using a theme system, and includes fully CSS-driven themes to simplify customization.
