Nubuilder use case question

[kev1n]

Basically what you can do now is change the config in nuconfig.php to point to the WP DB.

Modify these variables.

Code: Select all

    $nuConfigDBHost                 = "your ip or host";
    $nuConfigDBName                 = "your wp db name";
    $nuConfigDBUser                 = "your wp db user";
    $nuConfigDBPassword             = "your wp db pw";

Remember: Restart the browser after you have modified nuconfig.php

Open nuBuilder's login page. When logging in, nuBuilder will automatically create the tables in the WP DB for you.

Hello,

I have been following the bluehost install video & written instructions too literally.
The written instructions are missing a step # 4.
The file referenced in step 6 did not exist on my site.

My current nuconfig.php has the following changes:

$nuConfigDBHost = "localhost:3306"; // -----------This is port number is required. I found it using phpmyadmin via the bluehost advanced panel.
$nuConfigDBName = "rasmuss5_WPGWZ"; //---------This is the name of the Wordpress database. Naming convention is "bluehost userid_WPGWZ".
$nuConfigDBUser = "rasmuss5_nubuilder4"; //------------I associated this user name as a privileged user. The standard userid is "bluehost userid_WPGWZ"
$nuConfigDBPassword = "xxxxxxx";
$nuConfigDBGlobeadminUsername = "globeadmin"; //-- globeadmin username
$nuConfigDBGlobeadminPassword = "xxxxxxxx"; //-- globeadmin password - note to refresh browser by stopping and restarting

The "Home"-"Builders"-"Database" button now brings up a phymyadmin browser tab with only one database, "rasmuss5_WPGQZ", with the nubuilder4 tables added to it.

The documentation may want to make note of the need to locate the port number for the Wordpress database.

On to the next step:

The documentation has the following line in it:

"Once you have created your required Forms, Reports and Procedures you will need to give users access to them."

Where do I go to get an explanation on the above three steps?

Is there a video that explains the concepts behind the above three steps?

Thank you,

Dana

Thanks, that's fixed now.

That's an optional step. You normally don't have access to config files on shared hosting servers (like Bluehost).

You have 2 options: Either you install nuBuilder as a WordPress plugin (not recommended, as not maintained anymore) or as a standalone version.

I'm just coming into this ecosystem, and was intrigued by the WordPress plugin, but I hadn't read anywhere that it was not being maintained. Perhaps this could be mentioned on the associated pages so new people coming in don't make the wrong choice for implementation. Are there any guides/etc for integrating the standalone version with a WordPress/WooCommerce site?

Great question as I am also running WordPress/WooCommerce for my ecommerce and would like some more info about that. What I am doing now is on a separate subdomain for my operations database and I will probably make a customer portal for wholesale orders when the time comes. Part of the reason I went this way is that at the time HostGator was not running a current enough version of MySQL to run nuBuilder Forte.

Just follow the steps in the "Installation Guides" (see my signature) but with the exception that no new database has to be created.
Use the WP database for nuBuilder - otherwise you won't be able to acceess the WP tables.
