CMPS Module: vbBlog View

[Imperator]

A module showing the last 5 blog entries in the "CMPS News" style.

[Imperator]

Hi all,

this one creates a file "vbblogview.php" in your modules directory and a template "adv_portal_vbblogview". After installation edit the module and change the "Title Row Colspan" value to "5". Thats it! Put it somewhere in the center block of your page and you're done.

I coded this quick and dirty. So if you would like to translate it (it's currently in German) you need to modify the vbblogview.php file on your server. You will know what to change there ;-)

Have fun with it.

Thanks.

But I am looking for English version so I will wait.

[Amiga75]

Funktioniert Super. Danke.:up:

Screenshots, a demo? and a English version.

[Imperator]

OK. Created an English version. Find it attached to this post. Here's a screenshot:

A demo is available at http://www.djkaltdorf.net. But as mentioned, it's a German page.

Sorry I am a new to all this. I installed some mods but this one I can't figure out how to install. Please help ))

Does it also work with Vba?
3.6.8

Hi!

This is not an Add-On for vBulletin itself. It is a module for the vbAdvanced CMPS system, a portal which integrates into vBulletin. You can find it here: http://www.vbadvanced.com (http://www.vbadvanced.com/).

To install simply open the vBa CMPS section in your board's admincp and select download/upload module (you need to unzip the file before you can upload it). Change the title row colspan value of the module to 5 after the module has been installed and place it somewhere in the center of your page. Thats it!

Hope this helps ;)

All that I get is

"The file you have uploaded is not a valid module file."

What am I doing wrong please?

[crkgb]

IThank you. Got it installed. Here is the following problem which is present on the demo site as well.

The links to blog posts look as this:

testvb/blog.php?b=

This way they are led exact same place as blog.php. There is no id for the particular blog. Any fix for that?

I get this error when importing english product:
Warning: array_merge() [function.array-merge]: Argument #1 is not an array in /admincp/vba_cmps_admin.php on line 2986

[crkgb]

TYry German version. English one is corrupted. German actually does install but is pointless the way it is cause all the links lead to the general blog.php

[Imperator]

OK. Here's the update. The links now lead to the BLOGs instead of the blog main page. English version also should work in this version.

I'm now getting the following error in the English version when trying to upload

[I]Database error in vBulletin 3.6.8:

I have no clue where this comes from. Indeed there is no column "0" in adv_modules. Which version of CMPS do you run? I only tested it on v3.0 RC1.

However, I don't think that this is an error in the module file. The INSTERT INTO query comes from vba_cmps_admin.php (vba_cmps_admin.php?do=uploadmodule) in your vbulletin's admincp directory. This error could also appear when uploading other modules.

Sorry that I can't help you with this error. Maybe you can get support from the vbadvanced guys.

[crkgb]

Works perfect for me. Thanks for the fix ))

Fatal error: require() [function.require]: Failed opening required '/mounted-storage/xxxxx/xxxxxxx/xxxxxxx/exasco/forum/modules/vbblogview.php' (include_path='.:/usr/local/lib/php/') in /mounted-storage/xxxxxa/sub002/xxxxxxxxxx/exasco/forum/includes/vba_cmps_include_top.php on line 112

im getting an odd error....
its odd because its trying to load something from the old directory my forum was in.... was originally exasco/forum/includes/vba_cmps_include_top.php
but i changed it a few months ago with a total upgrade to siteexasco/forum/includes/vba_cmps_include_top.php...
any suggestions to fix this?
i get this error with both versions

I get the same exact error when trying to upload the module. I'm running the latest version of vba and vb 3.6.8. Looks like it's not isolated to just one person. Too bad, I really wanted to run this module. Guess I'll have to wait until it's working for everyone.

How do we edit the template? All I see when I open it is $blogOut

[Netaudio]

also bei mir werden das modul & die php datei nicht erstellt beim hochladen,
ich bekomme nur leere module angezeigt

[ludachris]

edit: nevermind, I was trying to upload as a product, not a module.

Edit "vbblogview.php" in your modules folder

[FQR]

Any way to keep Drafts from showing?:confused:

[Alfa1]

Are the bugs reported with this hack fixed?
Does this work for vbBlog 1.03?

[ang2el]

OK. Here's the update. The links now lead to the BLOGs instead of the blog main page. English version also should work in this version.


I just installed to vbulletin Blog 1.0.4 it worked seamlessly.


Thank you very much.

[Alfa1]

I installed it, but links to the blog do not work. All latest blog links point to 'blog.php?b=' No Blog ID is added.

[Mondi]

Great stuff!
been looking for this and it's precisely what I wanted.

Excellent job - thnks [and installed!]

Nice module. I changed the text to English and edited the url for blog.php to /forums/blog.php and it works great.

Thanks,

[plomaha]

Imperator, where can I find that scrolling News Ticker displayed in the left-column on the German demo site you linked to? I would love to have a scrolling News Ticker like that on my home Page.
Thanks,

Please add this:

When someone makes a comment on a blog that needs to bump the blog to the top of the list of blogs. It doest not do anything. How can this be done please?

Or can you make the same style mod for blog comments to match this one where bb code and image code wont show and stretch the block. a cut off number for characters for comments.

[Admiral Cuddles]

I changed the link where the blogs should go, but that only changes the module title into a link, the other links to the blog posts all simply lead to "/blog.php?b=#" how do I change this to "/forum/blog.php?b=#"
