vB Journal for vBulletin 3.0.3(v1.0.1)

[Oblivion Knight]

In the journal table, the following fields are not used;
? description
? imagename
? mood
? np


"enabled" is if a user's journal is currently locked or unlocked.
"np" is an abbreviation for now playing


I think the rest should be pretty much straight forward? Let me know if you have any other questions..

[???`S?LV?R???`]

any word on the template installer for this?

[intrigue]

um if you cant view journals make sure u inserted the journal_journalpage template and its corresponding templates;)
um did u the file edits to member.php correctly?

i dont know if i have a chance tonight i will take a look
thanks

[pagekeeper]

just curious, im not exactly an expert, but im wondering wether the links in this hack should all carry the $session[sessionurl] tag ?

i have no idea if it matters but i thought i'd mention it...whats the difference ?

[y2krazy]

I have made significant changes to the journal templates, so I thought that maybe I could provide them for those who want to have a slightly different look than the default at this point. I just have a few more to edit, so they will probably up this weekend at some point. Damn college and riding the bus for nearly 4 hours a day keeps my online time to a minimum. :tired:

Also, there have been quite a few noticeable errors in the templates, and I have yet to fix them. They have to do with the if conditional dealing with the proper way to display the name of the Journal(s). It shouldn't be an issue, and I'm sure there's a very simple solution to it... ;)

PS - Thanks again for the to-die-for hack, AN-Net!

sessions to my knowledge are not needed unless some else would like to include something:)

INSTALLED for over a week ... and the community loves it! :)

... one little tidbit that i cant seem to get over and a few members have suggestions to have improved is the ascending and descending of the entries in members own Journal.

currently it is set that when you add an entry it is the last one to be viewed (on the bottom) so ya have to scroll down, and if there are more pages, click over to the last page and scroll down to the bottom, in other words, a real CHORE.

... is it possible to have an ASCENDING / DESCENDING option for members to choose how they want to view the ACTUAL members journal?

i know this feature is already implemented in the actual Journal main list of journalists, but NOT in the actual member journal itself. i think it would be a welcomed improvement :)

[???`S?LV?R???`]

But this is too much.

"vB Journal(Version: 1.0.0) by Antonbomb22

Antonbomb22(Anthony Scudese) holds all rights to this code and code may not be redistributed,modifed, or duplicated without consent."

That's the longest tag line of any mod there is.

ya, infopro is right... AN-net, you don't need to apply such a tagline, this kind of tag is useless and protect you nowhere...

just keep it clean in the files, that's all you can ask for a good credit. keep the version line, but not the long tagline please... (its usual procedural.)

I agree, can we just keep it in the file's instead? (especially since tag lines are kinda annoying to have on pages)

[OrangeFlea]

I'm trying to make a movie review for the site, and I was wondering which files I'd have to modify in order to change "journal" to "review". Can someone help me out here, please?

[fridayweb]

Hi An-Net

I finally figure out why I the delete and edit button doesn't show up. On my board member can belong two or more usergroups. If I have my users belong to one group, then the permission to delete and edit works. If I have my users belong to two or more groups, then the permission to delete and edit works doesn't work

I setup my Register User group "Allow Users to have Member Groups" to Yes. It still doesn't work.

Would you please help me on this

Thanks

You are absolutely right. I have the same problem with my users. Any news on how to fix this??

I am also noticing the problem with the moods not showing up consistently...

I believe all that you will need to alter is your templates ... substituting "review" for journal where applicable.

It really doesn't matter what your Control Panel or the coding calls it as long as your members see what you want to call it.

When i add the code above it fixes the lines going missing but one of the permissions makes the page jump to the middle of the page and doesnt let me change the setting, specifically, "Can View Comments"

its a really small bug, but i just wanted it fixed before i release it to my members, just so im sure the permissions are set correctly ...

if you dont get the problem, whats wrong with the code ?

cheers !

For some reason it's showing the privacy options twice, I think I heard about someone having the same problem.. anyone know how to fix this?

[pagekeeper]

hey an-net,

yes i do have the articles hack .... i hope this hack didnt replace any code for the articles ?? i went through the guide/code this morning and it checks ok.. i might be missing something? any ideas ...

i still get the error.

Awesome hacks, I like it man, definitely clicks INSTALL, thanks ;)

i've clicked installed after i got it all working and its awsome

thanks for an amazing hack.

[Paul M]

Installed on my test forum from the zip downloaded last night, I noticed a few things;

1. I could not do this part of the instructions ;


------------------------------
Open: /forumroot/memberlist.php
------------------------------

Find:
LEFT JOIN " . TABLE_PREFIX . "usertextfield AS usertextfield ON(usertextfield.userid=user.userid)
LEFT JOIN " . TABLE_PREFIX . "userfield AS userfield ON(userfield.userid=user.userid)
------------------------------
Underneath add:
LEFT JOIN " . TABLE_PREFIX . "journals AS journals ON(journals.journalist_id=user.userid)
------------------------------

Find:
SELECT user.*,usertextfield.*,userfield.*, user.userid,
------------------------------
Add next to that:
journals.journal_id,
------------------------------

As those lines are not in my memberlist.php


2. The following phrases seemed to be missing;

"can_report_entries" = "Can Report Journal Entries"
"journal_mood_updated_successfully" = "Journal Mood Updated Successfully"


3. On first use, most of the phrases in the usergroup display were not displaying, I had to create an english translation of the "journal_permissions", then they all appeared.


4. If I allow guests access to view journals (as I plan to) they can see all journals and entries marked as private, this is very bad.


5. Logged in users can see private entries listed in various places (like the Forum's Journal list, or private individual entries in the "last entries" list - although they do at least get a "no permissions" error if they try and view them. Really they should just not appear at all.


6. I set mine so that new journals had to be approved (moderated), but new entries did not. As a result, when a new journal was created, the first entry was visible even though I had not yet approved the journal itself.

Other than this it seems ok so far, but these permission things need sorting.

[pagekeeper]

hmmmm, ok, cool one problem fixed, but im still getting the other problem
Parse error: parse error in /home/website/public_html/profile.php on line 545

my members cant edit their profiles ... :(

i went through the install again, specifically the edits for profile.php, but still comes up with that error ... if you want my profile.php just ask ;)

[Paul M]

Pagekeeper:

Judging by my profile.php, you need to check you did this bit correctly ;


Find:
if ($_REQUEST['do'] == 'removelist')
{

globalize($_REQUEST, array('userid' => INT, 'userlist' => STR));

if ($userlist != 'buddy')
------------------------------
Replace with:
if ($_REQUEST['do'] == 'removelist')
{

globalize($_REQUEST, array('userid' => INT, 'userlist' => STR));

if (($userlist != 'buddy') AND ($userlist != 'jbuddy'))

Only the final line has actually changed, so that might be the line at fault (and check you haven't overwritten the curly bracket on the next line). :)

[Mitsuaki]

Is there a way to make comments private... cus basically i have a journal with a private entry... the ppl i have allowd to see the entry have commented on it but ppl that cant view the private entry can still see the comments...

[Paul M]

Is there a way to make comments private... cus basically i have a journal with a private entry... the ppl i have allowd to see the entry have commented on it but ppl that cant view the private entry can still see the comments...Yes, I have just noticed that to add to my list of permissions problems - the whole "Private" side of it needs fixing. If I install this I'm tempted to take the 'private' options out of all the templates for now, as there are so many holes in it.

[Mitsuaki]

so it will be in the next release???

[pagekeeper]

i feel so stupid now, lol i put " replace with: " and thats what gave me the error.

but thanks for the help everyone ... great hack !!

i think it would be cool if i could access the journal without opening it to everyone else to check if everything is working.

[Wordplay]

just wanted to thank you for the hack, and state that i have installed it.

hope it works.

[Wordplay]

okey now: when a member goes to view his own journal entries it says that he doesn't have the permission to do so. where could i have gone wrong?

[arurcard]

I installed the journal and everything but when I go to it i get a blank white page.

http://www.++++yocouch.com/forum/journal.php

And I get a databse error when I add the "Journal" template

Database error in vBulletin 3.0.3:

um that template error has nothing to do with my hack seems as though you have an sql query that was edited cause t1 is referred 2 times which makes not unique so thats something for vb.com;)

[AN-net]

okey now: when a member goes to view his own journal entries it says that he doesn't have the permission to do so. where could i have gone wrong?
did u set it up so they can view the journal system via usergroup manager?

[AN-net]

ok due to some complaints in privacy flaws i have hopefully beefed up privacy with some further conditionals and more exclusions such as guests accidentially falling into the whocanview privacy for entries and journals.
please keep me updated if this new journal.php file fixes the privacy flaws:)

i will update the zip soon;)

[Wordplay]

oh so that's where i went wrong... but hey i've got this funny field in here... it states:


Can View Journals Ja Nein
Can Have a Journal Ja Nein
Can View Comments Ja Nein
Can Comment on Journals Ja Nein
Can Rate Journals Ja Nein
Ja Nein
Can Edit Own Journal Ja Nein
Can Edit Own Journal Entries Ja Nein
Can Delete Own Journal Ja Nein
Can Delete Own Journal Entries Ja Nein
Can Search Journal Ja Nein

so you see there is one blank field in there... that just says 'yes' and 'no' but doesn't have a text to it... what's supposed to be there between "Can Rate Journals" and "Can Edit Own Journal"?

[Wordplay]

also, after trying to save the changes made in the usergroup i get this error:

Invalid SQL: UPDATE usergroup SET

[Wordplay]

okey now it seems to work, found the error somewhere completely else, had nothing to do with the journal... but i still don't see the text for "['can_report_entries']" that seems to not show up. how come?

[MindTrix]

Heres a zip with some smilies i been using for the moods.

[Wordplay]

AN-net, damn... thanks again for the amazing hack.

tsugoy des!!

hey you run an anime site right? if you need any help with japanese to english or vice versa translations, let me know!

[Thanatos]

Any prorgress on the journal importer?

thanks for all your work on this. I installed it on a test board and it is definitely awesome.

[fiber1]

Just making an note here on how this conflicts with those who have VB Garage installed. I have no idea how to fix this but I am pretty sure its just a small fix in one of the PHP files.

Here we go:

If you go in Admincp/ Usergroups/ Usergroup Manager then select a usergroup to choose their settings for what they can do there is confilicting issue between these to hacks.

Go down to General Permissions and in there you will find:

Can use VB Garage? Yes or no
and
Can View Private Custom Fields? Yes or No

Then go down to Journal Permissions and you will find:

Can Edit Own Journal Entries? Yes or No
Can Delete Own Journal? Yes or No

If yes is set in either of these 2 selections it automatically sets the other permission to "NO"

So, if "Can use VB Garage?" is set to yes then you will not be able to use these functions in VB Journal:

Can Edit Own Journal Entries
Can Delete Own Journal

If you set "Can Edit Own Journal Entries" and/or "Can Delete Own Journal" to yes,
you can not use the editing features of VB Garage.

Just thought I would bring this up.

Great Hack AN-net!

Hope I was clear on that.

Fiber

[AN-net]

thats odd.......

[Silverdawn222]

No AN-Net, it's not odd, the same thing happened to me with V3 Articles remember? It's the conflicting bitfield variables in the init.php, right?

[YamaMotoYama]

**Clicks install** Install went without a hitch. Thanks for the awsome hack.

[fiber1]

Yeah I was able to fix the articles part, but this one has me!

hehe

Fiber

[AN-net]

well its odd because i dont think they share the same bitfield names....

[fiber1]

Have to get Magnus's opinion on this one for I am under qualified.

:D

[???`S?LV?R???`]

there is a problem with the information showing in the profile... it's showing the wrong date...

[pablo]

I might be installing this, can anyone give an idea as to how long it took to install ? ?

[fiber1]

About 15 to 30 depending on your speed.

[???`S?LV?R???`]

it'd be alot shorter if that template installer was made
;)

[Paul M]

About 15 to 30 depending on your speed.Anyone who installs this in 15 minutes is bloody fast. I would say 30 is the closer to reality.

[Paul M]

ok due to some complaints in privacy flaws i have hopefully beefed up privacy with some further conditionals and more exclusions such as guests accidentially falling into the whocanview privacy for entries and journals.
please keep me updated if this new journal.php file fixes the privacy flaws:)
It fixes odd problems. I have fixed a lot more locally. There is a lot of stuff you can still do (or others can view) when you are inactive as well as some of the private stuff still being open. There is a bug in the admin section you might want to fix for everyone - you cannot set an active Journal to be inactive again.

[AN-net]

there is a problem with the information showing in the profile... it's showing the wrong date...
notice how there are no entries so there lastentry date field is blank thus being that dates, i will fix this in version 2;)

[fiber1]

If someone figures out the VB Garage conflict please let me know.

Thanks,

Fiber

[Gio Takahashi]

I know I 've asked this many times but.

Journal Importer? ;_;

[House_of_Crazed]

Okay, I'm at a loss for this.

I've been trying to figure this out.

My users are reporting that they do not see the "EDIT" or "DELETE" buttons on their journal entries.

And yet, in the permissions, they are enabled so they can edit or delete their entries.

Ideas?? Or maybe suggestions?

[House_of_Crazed]

I did some tests... and some checking...

One of the things I checked was that give my test user a primary usergroup. The buttons shows up fine.

Then I added a secondary usergroup to my test user. Buttons goes away.

[AN-net]

I did some tests... and some checking...

both the primary and the secondary must have the same permissions for editing

[House_of_Crazed]

They do.

I've given every usergroup permissions for editing.

Primary Usergroup with no secondary usergroups works fine. But add a secondary usergroup, the buttons goes away.

[Lionel]

I installed, no problems, works fine... but I have a javasxript error in some browser (IE at home, but not at work) when I do a search. Character 1 expected {
but as you see in the bold below, it is there. And this what the error is pointing to.

<script type="text/javascript">
function validate

sf=document.search

if(keyword.length<3)
{
alert("Search Keywords must be more than 3 characters.")
submitok="false"
}
}
</script>

[fiber1]

I beleive this is is due to the fact of having the VB Garage hack, I am still waiting for answer to this. there are conflicts with one another.

////EDITED////

problem fixed. Hack works 100% now!

[Blurredream]

Does the zip contain all the updates?

Edit: I did the fix for the usergroups. (it only showed three options)

Why was the option to edit and delete other peoples journals left out in the fix?

[AN-net]

because they are yet built in the actual file and journal moderators dont exist yet;) they will be used in version 2

print_table_header('Journal Permissions');

I also works with quotation marks. What's the difference between the quotation marks and ' ? I don't know anything about writing scripts. I was just curious in quest of knowledge(Brain Food)
it should work with the fix mentioned in the first post

[y2krazy]

I have made extensive changes to the JOURNAL templates and a few changes to the journal.php file itself for just 2 or 3 things. Will you provide a step-by-step upgrade for future releases so that we can simply add in what you changed instead of possibly having to go through all the template edits again? Just want to se sure this option will be available in the future so that when new upgrades are released, it will be easy to go from one to the next... ;)

as for the second version, the answer is no....
1)there will be major additions to the journal system in version 2
2)all templates will be phrased in version 2

so as for version 2, that will require an overwrite of all the journal templates and files;)

For those of us that haven't installed this wonderful hack yet, how long before 2.0 release, or should I do 1.0 release soon? thanks for releasing it for free as well :)

Well, it's not like I can pressure you to do it because you are offering your time to the community without asking any fees from us. Keep up the great work, and hopefully I'll be able to figure out a way to salvage the look I've attained on the to-be-released vB I've been working on. best of luck and thanks for the great hack!! :)

Will you be fixing all the security holes in the moderation & private side of things (I have done this locally, so just wondering if I would have to do it again).

There's still the matter of the permissions issue that I posted earlier.

Every group has its permissions set correct and yet, they can't edit or delete their own journal / journal entries.

try replacing your journal_entrybits template with this:

I can't remember them all off the to of my head.

Some that spring to mind are ;

1. Unapproved journals appear in the last entries list.

2. Comments made on private entries appear to everyone.

3. XML download extracts all private entries.

There are others, which I would have to find by going over my notes.

It looks like that was the trick :) lol

Thanks :) I'm just waiting for my users to let me know if it did the trick. My testing tells me that it worked.

[House_of_Crazed]

By the way, while I'm thinking of this...

The fix you provided did not work according to my users.

So, I went a step farther and modified the journal.php and now it works. *shrugs* lol ... I commended out the $candelete* and $canedit* (replace * with either journal or entry) and it works fine now.

*shrugs* *laughs* I might have opened some security hole with the adjustments. *shrugs* No way to know. LOL

I found that if you go to Language Manager and rebuild all languages in the Admin CP it fixes some missing phrase issues (e.g. XML, redirects, usergroup etc.).

Thanks for your work AN-net!

Edit: as well as the problem with can_report_entries phrase (non-existent), there seems to be a few typos in the XML export - e.g. jouranl_entry_date and date instead of journal_entry_date. But it _will_ be cool :)

Moods...does anyone have these working? I haven't tried it, sounds interesting though. Does this just attach a certain graphic to the entry (that represents the particular mood selected) and nothing more? Just curious.

[Paul M]

Came across another problem today. If someone puts a word in the Who Can View field (like 'everyone') then it causes an SQL error.

[Andreas]

Dunno if it has already been mentioned, but:

What about "now playing", PingBack/TrackBack?

[???`S?LV?R???`]

now playing has already been done by someone, but they didn't release how they did it....or atleast not on here lol .. but yeah it would be nice to know how

[y2krazy]

Moods...does anyone have these working? I haven't tried it, sounds interesting though. Does this just attach a certain graphic to the entry (that represents the particular mood selected) and nothing more? Just curious.
I have it installed and working flawlessly. That's pretty much all it does at the moment, but that's all I've expected it to do... ;)

Speaking of Moods, I was wondering if you would be able to make the following option for those who install this hack:

Mood Integration Into Postbit
By selecting an option like this in the AdminCP, it will allow the latest journal entry's Mood to be displayed in the postbit for each user.

If this can be done and integrated successfully, it would be a nice option to have so that someone doesn't have to have a Mood hack installed seperately for the posts(the Journal Moods enabled to show on all of a specific user's posts).

Thanks again for the great hack, AN-Net! :)

[House_of_Crazed]

Now there's a bug with the moods.

When you submit a new entry, and choose a mood. The mood does not appear on the new entry. You will need to edit the entry, then re-select your mood, then submit. It will appear after that.

Figured you might want to know that. I just checked what's different between the 2 templates, and I'm not seeing anything, but since you're more knowledgeable at this addition than I am, it'll be better for you to figure it out.

[Robink]

Best of luck, hope your Import Script is ready soon.

Millions of fans are awaiting! :D

[hkvic]

Brilliant hack!

I have installed it onto test board for trialling before installing on main active board.

One problem I have noticed though when viewing in Mozilla Firefox PR1.0:

All is ok until you go to the 'add new entry' or any page that has a 'submit' type button, it conflicts with my java menu system located in the page header. All the images diappear and the remainng text links are all crushed up together.
(see screenshots)

First screenshot is in IE6, second one is in Firefox PR1.0

Any help would be appreciated on this.

[Blam Forumz]

Firefox doesnt support non-standard CSS

AN-net, thanks for a great hack. i was wondering when will the next version, with attachments support will come out?

[msimplay]

is there anyway i can mark my own private entries as private so that i can tell them apart from the normal entries ?

[Oblivion Knight]

Hello, it's good to see this hack doing well..

You've made a small error in your journal.php file, however.. Currently, moods entered on a new entry are not shown until that entry is edited. To fix it.......


Find:

'".$wcv."','".$REMOTE_ADDR."','".mood."'".iif($setting['autoapprove_entries']=="1", $autoentry).")Replace with:

'".$wcv."','".$REMOTE_ADDR."','".$mood."'".iif($setting['autoapprove_entries']=="1", $autoentry).")

My apologies if this has already been mentioned, but I'm not scanning through 25 posts to check.! My friend who is running this journal, mentioned the problem and I fixed it for him - I'm just passing on the fix..

yeah i fixed this in current file update im working on:)

[Paul M]

Can you use the global vB Variable "IPADDRESS" instead of directly using the REMOTE_ADDR server variable please. :)

Also, check that showjournal, showcomments & showentry do not cause errors if they have no "j" or "e" parameter supplied.

Since you're going to be releasing an update soon... I have a question, will the update also include template updates, or just file (journal.php / journaladmin.php) updates? Just want to double-check :) LOL

Cuz I've modified the templates slightly to my satisfcation. :)

y use vb's IPADDRESS?Because it's the correct thing to use, why try and re-invent something that is already provided as a standard. It is a global variable of the members ip address used by vB in all cases where the members ip address is recorded or checked (except your hack).

FYI: It is not always equivelent to remote_addr (if people have proxy detector or real ip detector hacks installed).

Hi Tim, this may not solve your problem but its worth checking.

Go into your functions.php file and see if there are any blank lines after the closing ?>

If there is, delete them. Whenever I get an error about "headers already sent" this is the first thing I check and it usually solves my problem.

Hi -

I added RSS 1.0 (RDF) functionality to my install of vB Journal. Basically, you have to change "SELECT journalist" to "SELECT journalist,journalname,journaldesc" in the downloadjournal section of journal.php, make sure your Unregistered usergroup can view journals in the Admin CP, and paste this code in journal.php after the XML download part:


// RSS 1.0 Begins

You'll then need to add a link to download it in the drop down menu. More as I figure it out...

Edit (2005-03-30): The template is called journal_journalpage - change type=xml to type=rss1 and XML Format to RSS 1.0 Format. Fixed problem with a missing private check.

Edit (2005-03-31): Added content:encoded CDATA, and removed UBB tags. Changed items to use URL instead of an arbitrary sequence number. I also like to change "ORDER by entrydate ASC" to DESC in downloadjournal, but this is personal preference.

Edit (2005-04-14): I've made quite a few changes to the code, namely adding UTF-8 encoding and using corresponding content-type, adding a check to make sure the journal title isn't empty, limiting the number of items to 15.

Any update on the port from the older journal system?

[fiber1]

its the typos that always get me, thank you for observing that as i am an idiot>_<

i will update the zip and upload a fixed version of journal.php when i get home:)

When will this get updated?^^^

been very busy as of lately, i will try to get it done as soon as i can

Not sure if it has been mentioned, but latest journal post in postbit could be good, instead of just a link.

Any update on the port?

[kall]

Has anyone else experienced the situation where the adding/editing of jbuddies just seems to refresh the page?

I check the userfield table and the name is there, but only the last one I added...each one overwrites the old ones.

[Phrost]

Are the cumulative fixes listed in the initial post a part of the latest package, or do they need to be installed after the fact?

[AN-net]

Ok in this fix it fixes the permissions troubles people have been having and also the mood troubles occuring. please overwrite journal_entrybits template with this:


<a name="e$entry[entry_id]"><table class="tborder" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" border="0" align="center" width="100%">

[fiber1]

Well, I finally found my last issue conflicting between this hack and the V3 Articles 1.0.1 hack.

In includes/init.php

Journal has this for UserGroup permmisions:

'canviewcomments' => 4,

and

Articles has this for UserGroup permmisions:

'canviewcomments' => 2,

So, If you go into AdminCp/Usergroup Manager/Edit Usergroup and look for these 2 permissions:

Articles/ Can View Comments

Journal Permissions/ Can View Comments

If you select YES on either one of these it automatically kicks the YES and/or NO radial selection out of the other selection.

Thought I would give a heads up on this for those that may incounter this issue.

I don't have a fix for it, nor do I know why its and issue, (I can assume why) for I am not qualified to know what to do. :D

If anyone else know how to fix the issue it would be greatly appreciated.

Hi all

after installing this hack, it says that its installed correctly, but when I go to my http://10.3.153.138/journal.php

I get the following

you do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons:
Your user account may not have sufficient privileges to access this page. Are you trying to edit someone else's post, access administrative features or some other privileged system?
If you are trying to post, the administrator may have disabled your account, or it may be awaiting activation.
anything I need to edit or change?

When you say "installed it" - did you do all the required file & template edits ?

[JazzleBug]

Installed beautifully - wonderful hack! :D Thank you so much!

I have a question (or request). Prior to your hack, we'd been using a "journals forum" where everyone just has their own threads and cannot reply to anyone else's posts/threads. Any idea how to merge that single forum into the new journal tables in the database? If some of my members didn't have such HUGE journals already, I wouldn't even be worried about it. Any thoughts?

pardon if this was already answered, but is there an importer yet from the old journal system? I started to look into one but Ive so busy with school I havent had the time to get anywhere with it.

[Roms]

I installed and it's great, a lot of work done and I appreciate it. Honestly though I had to fix some things and it was annoying esp after 26+ pages you should really update the original install for those of use using other hacks. ie: admincp/ group permissions.

will this work with 3.0.1?

[AN-net]

it should work

[FASherman]

My suggestions:

1. Scrap the name. vB Journal sounds like "Dear diary....". Rebrand this as vBlogger and take advantage of the blog craze.

2. Improve the install. I don't mind the code and template mods, but there is no reason I should have to add custom templates by hand.

3. Stop giving it away. I was already looking for a program like this. You can easily sell this for $45 - $50 a license and another $20/yr for support. I would have bought it. Even having a free version 1, I'd still buy it if you were committed to making improvements and enhancements.

[School-Help]

I've read previously and for some reason the avatars are broken for all the users regardless of it they are animated or not. Can anyone help? There fine in the profile but they are only broken in the journal (there journal).

[Paul M]

I have a non working avatar for a user - the code seems to call ....../image.php?u=xx to get the Avatar and this is not working. This would appear to be a vB bug rather than a bug with this hack.

Another problem - in the moderation we refused a journal the other day by choosing "delete". This only removes the entry from the journals table, it doesn't remove the corresponding first entry from the journal entries table.

As a result you have an orphaned entry with no parent journal. This still show's up in searches (with no author or title) and seems to crash the system with an sql error if you try and view this (or any) non existant journal.

to my knowledge the zip is updated fully just not with usergroup management thing since that will be fixed in version 2 but there is a temporary fix for that and the fix for those using vb articles;)

make sure you have all your templates and that you did the file edit correctly;)

one other thing...

the "New Journal" button is showing for users who already have a journal. is there a fix for this?

i'd like to be able to make private journal entries private completely as in the administrator follow the same rules are participants when it comes to reading journal entries

I don't want to have access to peoples private journal entries unless they allow me via their journal buddies or my userid

however i can understand many admins like this feature however id like some way of turning it off

hmm.. i guess i have another question as well, as i didn't see a reply to this question:

is there a way to change the order of entries from ascending to descending? this is actually a huge deal in my view. i'm suprised more people haven't brought it up.

thanks its important on our site to allow privacy because we are all very tight
and everyone knows each and some may not post their private journals if i can see them thats why i'd like it to be their choice and also private entries should be private as it could contain their most private thoughts,

[Paul M]

yeah since i was sort of pushed to get this out i didn't go extremely heavy on privacy but in version 2 i do expect to do that:DAFAIK I fixed all the privacy issues in the version we run (things such as comments on private entries also being private). I haven't recorded every change I made but you're welcome to a copy of my journals.php and notes if it helps you.

The one in question above is fixed by finding the following in the "insertentry" code;

$preupdate= $DB_site->query_first("SELECT entry_id FROM ".TABLE_PREFIX."journal_entries
WHERE journal_id='".$j."' AND entrytitle='".addslashes($title)."'
AND entrytext='".addslashes($message)."'
");
$DB_site->query("UPDATE ".TABLE_PREFIX."journals SET lastentry='".addslashes($title)."', lastentry_date='".TIMENOW."',
lastentry_id='".$preupdate['entry_id']."'".($setting['autoapprove_entries']==1 ? ',entrycount=entrycount+1' : '')." WHERE journal_id='".$j."'
");
$url="journal.php?do=showjournal&j=".$_POST['j']."";
eval(print_standard_redirect('redirect_journalentr yinserted'));

and replacing it with;

$preupdate= $DB_site->query_first("SELECT entry_id FROM ".TABLE_PREFIX."journal_entries
WHERE journal_id='".$j."' AND entrytitle='".addslashes($title)."'
AND entrytext='".addslashes($message)."'
");
if ($private == 0)
{
$DB_site->query("UPDATE ".TABLE_PREFIX."journals SET lastentry='".addslashes($title)."', lastentry_date='".TIMENOW."',
lastentry_id='".$preupdate['entry_id']."'".($setting['autoapprove_entries']==1 ? ',entrycount=entrycount+1' : '')." WHERE journal_id='".$j."'

You didn't miss anything about the importer. It's too bad though. This script looks good, but a huge installed base of journalers can't get into it because all the tables were named differently, even though their structure is actually very similar.

It's been almost a year already. Quite a shame, but it's the teaser in the first post -An import script for Ryangle's ported Journal will be made so dont install this hack for now if you have the vb3 port of Ryangle's

If we all got together and paid someone to do it, how much do you think it would cost?

well the first query to be run in the showjournal section in journal.php is named $getjournalinfo or something like that, in there you could modify the where clause from WHERE journal_id=".$j." to WHERE journal_id=".$j." OR journalist=".addslashes($j)."

this has not been tested but it should work;)

only most possible problem with doing that is user names with spaces could cause problems;)

?

[xg3]

Also I have a couple of requests.

1) Can you make the entries order so that the most recent entries are on top?
2) A Buddies list on the left or right column.

Basically, like Xanga..here's an example: http://www.xanga.com/home.aspx?user=JohnKerry

See how there is a simple list of links to buddies on the left side and the new entries are in descending order. Thanks!

um some questions though since i couldn't install the port of ryangle's fully, what the database field 'title' for? is it like User's Journal? or is it like whatever the user wanted to call their journal?Wow, that is some great news!

What is title? It actually depends on which table you mean:

1. journal.title = memobug's Journal
that is the journal name although it wasn't user configurable, it was set to the username's Journal

2. journal_entry.title = Late Night!
that is the title of that entry

3. journal_comments.title = Re: Late Night!
that is the title of the comment - Re: ~~~~~~ was the default

If you have any other questions, please ask. I have hacked the Ryangel port to death (to life?), so I have some familiarity with it.

I really hope the structure of mine is the roughly the same as yours? I have 3 tables:

journal
journalid int(11)
title text
description text (unused?)
imagename text (unused?)
entries int(11)
views int(11)

entryid int(11)
journalid int(11)
userid int(11)
displayorder int(11) (seems to be always zero - unused?)

Thanks & regards,

also was display order ever used?

also was the usergroup table ever modified?

[nexialys]

i don't know for me, but a journal is read from left to right, from the post from today to the last IF we want to know the past of the member.. we can even search or browse by order, but i like the way it is right now, adding flexibility.

i was wondering how many people are interested in the importer containing an uninstall for Ryangle's Journal, ie. templates,phrases,settings,languages,phrasegroups, and any other additions/changes made in the database?

I definitely am

[memobug]

also was display order ever used?There are two displayorder parameters
journal_comments.displayorder int(11)
journal_entry.displayorder int(11)

journal_comments.displayorder seems never to have been used. It is always 0 in my database.

journal_entry.displayorder runs from 1...number of entries for each user. When an entry is added, it gets pulled in, assigned to a variable $get_displayorder, incremented and written back to the next entry. I think it was intended for some kind of page navigation, but I don't think it serves any purpose.


also was the usergroup table ever modified?1. in the user table, I have a journal parameter:
journal smallint(6) that is set to 1 if the user has a journal and 0 if s/he doesn't.

2. I don't think there is anything in usergroup, with regard to permissions for journals or anything.

i was wondering how many people are interested in the importer containing an uninstall for Ryangle's Journal, ie. templates,phrases,settings,languages,phrasegroups, and any other additions/changes made in the database?I am most interested in the install, but an uninstall would be great, too.

I would be interested in the importer.

[memobug]

FWIW, I just combed this thread for users who'd expressed interest in the importer (one or more times!) and came up with these names. Of course I was searching on a single word, so I might have missed some over the 32 pages

Yes I'd definitely be interested, I turned off my journal when I upgraded to 3.03... Didn't see a point in re-hacking when this superior journal was available. All I need is a scheme conversion, I can quite hapilly do everything else myself.

Thanks!

[spence2]

ok i did that, and it's still not working. is the url supposed to be:

http://www._.com/journal.php?do=showjournal&j=name

?

If you figure this out, xg3, please share ... as I know it is over my head to do on my own ... thanks!

I'm interested in making the switch should there be a safe way to do so.

I'd like an importer myself. This one looks far better than the one I got.

[traderx]

Ok... some how in my navbar my link to my Journals is gone.... could some one please post the code that so that I can put it back in... or what I should search for in my navbar (is there a phrase use) to see if I removed it by misstake

[Thanatos]

I would like an importer so I can switch to your journal.

Thanks.

Hello all... I was just in on both of my sites (main and test) and noticed that I have some items that are missing in the ACP Journal area. See the attachments so you will understand what I am talking about. Did I do something wrong or forget something? How can I correct this so I know whats there.

Any help would be great.... Thanks in advance

its cause of the phrases just apply the temp fix in the first post regarding the usergroup manager;)

2. Improve the install. I don't mind the code and template mods, but there is no reason I should have to add custom templates by hand.
I am actually working on a php file that'll install those custom templates by hand. I don't know if I need to get permission to post this, or if I can do so on my own, but when I get it done it could be released.

[DjTaz]

Hey Guys,

Any reason id be getting this ?


User, you do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons:

Your user account may not have sufficient privileges to access this page. Are you trying to edit someone else's post, access administrative features or some other privileged system?
If you are trying to post, the administrator may have disabled your account, or it may be awaiting activation.


Im getting this when i try to go to the Journal page. I can access the admin section no problems , but cant get into the journal.php page at all ? any help ? Ohh yeah - win 20003 server machine with apache running

Of course I Am interested in the importer, I *REALLY* want that importer so I can upgrade the journal we have.

The missing ACP thing.. I don't understand what I'm supposed to do to fix it? Where to put the code? o_O

Also, I use a skin that has buttons in the nav bar, thus I didn't alter the navbar to add in the journal link yet. But I have noticed that my nav bar images has gone missing when I click onto things like memberlist and newposts.. Would this hack affect it or not?

I can't view my calendar page either. I installed this hack straight after I installed the VB Advanced Content Management hack, with no other hacks.. Are the two compatible together? >_>

um i dont see it affecting navbar images and vba cmps compatiability is unknown to me because i use vbindex>_>

um with usergroup ACP fix, overwrite the edit you did in /admincp/usergroup.php with the fix;)

I was just installing this, and after I finished doing the file edits, I got this error:

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_CONSTANT_ENCAPSED_STRING in \www\includes\functions.php on line 1887

Which is:

so? Any word on reversing the order of posts in the journals so that the most recent are on top?

make sure you edited functions.php correctly;)

[Oblivion Knight]

I was planning on coding up an importer, but I just haven't had the time to play around with the MySQL tables and everything.. Sorry. Hopefully AN-net will come up with something.

[Cloud-Warrior]

Interested in the importer too.

[zurih]

why I cant find any of Journal phrases in ACP?
I want to edit them a little bit but in the phrase search nothing can be found....

anyone knows the problem and how to fix it?

[TRStealth]

I have, many times. If it was that simple, I wouldn't have bothered posting. :ermm:

As far as I can see, the lines you posted have nothing to do with the install of vB Journal...

Have you tried taking the space out of

$debughtml .= " (<a href=\

(before the opening bracket)?

[Tru Smiles]

Don't mean to be a pain, but after the ACP fix, there are now TWO versions of the permissions.. The fixed and the missing. Is that supposed to be like that? o_O

Yeah, that's what bugs me about it though. I'm using a fresh install of vB, so it's not something I've messed with previously. However, after I apply the file edits from the install, then it gets messed up. :disappointed:

r u using the most recent zip file?

[TRStealth]

r u using the most recent zip file?

Yeah, unless you realeased a new one today.

[zurih]

Great work!!

I have a suggestion... (Idea)
How about making Journal categories?
For example when an user is posting a new Journal he could choose also the category of the Journal.

Now.. the categories will be availible to create from ACP.

In Journal Index there will be displayed all the Journal categories.

What do u think?

:nervous:

Maybe I'm talking about the wrong thing. Damn you people and your intelligent talk :p

But I mean in the usergroup permissions.. Lemme show you an example:

[Tru Smiles]

I'm sure I overwrote it.. Maybe I'm just going mad though >_>

[restless]

again...




do you plan on adding an advanced editor for version 2? it would be nice if users had more posting options, as well as attachments. i mean having the WYSIWYG editor for new journal entries.
when do you forsee the release of version 2? this reverse order of entries is really, really bad.

[TRStealth]

So I take it that there is no answer to my question?

[traderx]

where can I find the images in psd format?
