[AN-net]

again...


[/list]
i already answered that question;)

[AN-net]

where can I find the images in psd format?
i can send them to you if you want me too:)

[AN-net]

So I take it that there is no answer to my question?
well im not exactly sure what the problem is... did you try just installing it on a fresh install...

[TRStealth]

Yes, I said that already.

[AN-net]

Yes, I said that already.
do you have debug on?

[theArchitect]

For some reason I am missing the Journal Status Icons. I am getting text saying "This Journal does not contain new entries" rather than the usual image.

Any thoughts?

Any thoughts?
did you upload them and place them in their respective directories?

[theArchitect]

did you upload them and place them in their respective directories?
I didn't think that I needed to upload them as they are the icons such as forum_new.gif which are already in their necessary folders.

Unless I have got everything back to front.

[traderx]

i can send them to you if you want me too:)
Please do

When you mess up with sessions, you should warn people. For 6 weeks my online was messed up. I finally found out the reason. Your 'injournal' code does not belong in there!!!!!

what are you talking about?

[Lionel]

I am sorry if I sounded rude, but I am really upset. The table structure for session is different in 3.01 and the location of the journal code did not belong. As a result, my table format changed from dynamic to fixed, guest could not show as the code in funcions.php was misplaced.

For six weeks, I basically dissected every inch of vbulletin code to find out that the problem was in sessions update as per above code. The injournal alter table was last in the table, so of course the 'update' session became out of line with the newly added location of injournal in the shutdown query.

Again, I am sorry as I used your codes and know that you are a good coder.

[Lionel]

This is the original vbulletin 3.01 table structure for session

CREATE TABLE `session` (
`sessionhash` varchar(32) NOT NULL default '',
`userid` int(10) unsigned NOT NULL default '0',
`host` varchar(15) NOT NULL default '',
`useragent` varchar(100) NOT NULL default '',
`lastactivity` int(10) unsigned NOT NULL default '0',
`location` varchar(255) NOT NULL default '',
`styleid` smallint(5) unsigned NOT NULL default '0',
`badlocation` smallint(5) unsigned NOT NULL default '0',
`inforum` smallint(5) unsigned NOT NULL default '0',
`inthread` int(10) unsigned NOT NULL default '0',
`incalendar` int(10) unsigned NOT NULL default '0',
`loggedin` smallint(5) unsigned NOT NULL default '0',
`idhash` varchar(32) NOT NULL default '',
`bypass` smallint(6) NOT NULL default '0',
PRIMARY KEY (`sessionhash`)
) TYPE=HEAP;

[Lionel]

notice where idhash is?

CREATE TABLE `session` (
`sessionhash` char(32) NOT NULL default '',
`userid` int(10) unsigned NOT NULL default '0',
`host` char(15) NOT NULL default '',
`idhash` char(32) NOT NULL default '',
`lastactivity` int(10) unsigned NOT NULL default '0',
`location` char(255) NOT NULL default '',
`useragent` char(100) NOT NULL default '',
`styleid` smallint(5) unsigned NOT NULL default '0',
`loggedin` smallint(5) unsigned NOT NULL default '0',
`inforum` smallint(5) unsigned NOT NULL default '0',
`inthread` int(10) unsigned NOT NULL default '0',
`incalendar` smallint(5) unsigned NOT NULL default '0',
`badlocation` smallint(5) unsigned NOT NULL default '0',
`bypass` tinyint(4) NOT NULL default '0',
PRIMARY KEY (`sessionhash`)
) TYPE=HEAP;

the code works for me, if you can further explain the problem or the conflict i will assist:)

[Lionel]

AN net, look at above post and you will see the two tables for sessions are different. So when your code based on 3.03 was trying to update sessions, it could not.

i am sry for the mistake, if someone could provide me with vb3.0.1 functions.php file i will gladly fix this error, i did not realize the code and database change since 3.0.1:)

[Lionel]

I know it's not your fault. I am actually blaming vbulletin in my mind. There was no reasons for that change. At least that I could see.

Where could I send you the file?

[AN-net]

lionel could use [sql] tags and [php] tags around the code you posted so guests will not be able to view this vb code, thank you and i am deeply sry for not being aware of that change and any stress it may have caused you

send the file via my aim or email

[Lionel]

I am trying to send via aim, but it says you are idle

[FleaBag]

How difficult do you think it would be for me to manually change my database schema so my old journal date suits this one?

[AN-net]

actually if you guys really dont care about an uninstaller i can just release the importer and all it will do is just change the database setup for the tables... i basically am done with the importer if thats all you guys wants:)

[Lionel]

An-net I sent you a zip file by email. Did you get it? I used the email from your site... support@...

[Bryan Ex]

That works just fine for me AN-net. The other concern I have is for any potential conflicts in the php edits because the site I got the original hack from is no longer online to reference.

your using the vb3 port of ryangle's journal? if so then check out http://www.vbhacks.us :)

[Lionel]

I used the email by your site support@animation.net

[AN-net]

ok i got, i looked over the vB 3.0.1 and the vB 3.0.3 functions.php and with the exec_shut_down() function there is nothing different so i dont see how my edit would affect it...

[Lionel]

please look at it closer. The session was not updating at all. And that caused whos online to behave erratically never to display guests and making everyone invisible except to self; was not able to follow the locations, would freeze etc.... I uninstalled that part last night and after 6 weeks everything is back to normal.

After that I was getting a db error with the journal, so all I did was alter the table and put journal at the end. Journal works, but I don't know the importance of that code, because it is working without it.

When I compared the database of 3.01 and 3.03 I saw there was a difference. Mine was saying format heap and fixed versus heap and dynamic and were not in same order at all. So I dropped the table and re-installed sesssion from scratch, altering the new table with your alter table code. Still no good. So I reverted your changes and dropped your column. And guest what I saw 26 guests, and I was able to follow locations without the session freezing. Later on I realtered the table to correct the mysql error from journal who could not find the column. And, I spent the night monitoring. Whosonline is finally fixed.

[Lionel]

And I will add that another hack, the emailreply which was installed after my online problems, I could not get to work... once I removed your code in functions.php, emailreply started to work.

Plus site is 10 times faster since.

[AN-net]

i will look further into this:)

[Lionel]

what is the importance of that code? Journal seems to work without it

[AN-net]

it allows vb to track exactly which journal you are in;)

[Reeve of shinra]

actually if you guys really dont care about an uninstaller i can just release the importer and all it will do is just change the database setup for the tables... i basically am done with the importer if thats all you guys wants:)
AN-Net. I will take the importer if you have it ready.

[AN-net]

AN-Net. I will take the importer if you have it ready.
ill do finish touches to it, wont really install anything but phrases;)

it will however do everything the installjournal.php does so you dont have to run that;)

[Reeve of shinra]

gotcha. I was trying to figure out how to import the comments from the old system to the new and I thought it would be a simple cut / past type job but it wasnt lol

[anagarically]

I am having a problem with it. The install went just perfect. I can view the vb journal in the admincp. I can see the Journal button on the main page and can click the drop-down. When i try to access either Journal Index or My Journal, I get a access denied screen. This happens with all users, even the main admin user. I have checked all the settings in the admincp, making sure that vb journal is active. Also checked the accounts I have tested, and they all have the vb journal turned on for them. Don't know what is up. Any ideas where the problem might be... ? Other than doing it over again... The code is all copied and pasted in.. exactly the way the install said, so is not a typing mistake. i hope.. so.. i don't know. Any ideas would help. thank you.

you did setup usergroup permissions correct?

[anagarically]

Thank you VERY much. I totally forgot about the usergroup options.

[xg3]

is there any variable i can put in the journalbit so that the users's profile info is posted at the top, like their Join Date, Post Count, Age, etc. like xanga?

[Thanatos]

I will also take the importer if it is ready.

[FleaBag]

I'd be happy to take the raw SQL myself!

[venomx]

So have all the small problems been fix with this for VB3.0.3?

[kewl1uk]

So have all the small problems been fix with this for VB3.0.3?

It's useable with just a few little niggles, like in the Currently Active Users List on Forum Home I get "Unknown Location" when a member is in Journals. Also no VB Code buttons when posting so VB Code has to be entered manually - a big hassle for some members. Also, you have to rebuild all languages after adding the phrases during the install and you have to apply the temporary fix for Usergroup Permissions. But I installed it and it's working.

**clicks Install** Thank you for this mod.

[AN-net]

So have all the small problems been fix with this for VB3.0.3?
yes basically all the problems that have been reported have been solved:)

[restless]

well, i figured it out myself. maybe this is already posted somewhere, but i sure can't find it.

forgive me if this is old news:

if anyone wants to have the journal entries show the latest entry first, open up journal.php and find the following code: $fentries = $DB_site->query("
SELECT journal_entries.entry_id, journal_entries.entrytitle,
journal_entries.entrytext, journal_entries.mood, journal_entries.allowbuddies,journal_entries.entry date,
journal_entries.entry_totalvotes, journal_moods.mood_name, journal_entries.ipaddress,journal_moods.mood_image , journal_entries.entry_totalrating,
journal_entries.private, journal_entries.whocanview,
COUNT(journal_comments.comment_text) AS comments
FROM ".TABLE_PREFIX."journal_entries AS journal_entries
LEFT JOIN ".TABLE_PREFIX."journal_comments AS journal_comments ON (journal_entries.entry_id=journal_comments.entry_i d)
LEFT JOIN ".TABLE_PREFIX."journal_moods AS journal_moods ON (journal_moods.mood_id=journal_entries.mood)
WHERE journal_entries.journal_id='".$j."'
AND entry_active='1'
GROUP BY journal_entries.entry_id
ORDER BY entrydate ASC in the last line, change ASC to DESC

[kewl1uk]

A problem arises with the actual URL accessed by someone in the Journals being shown in the Currently Active Users List: If the member in the Journals is posting, a member clicking on the URL in the Active Users List will either get a "No permission error ... attempting to edit another members post" or a "Database error ... duplicate entry". This is a possible security risk and should be solved rather quickly. For now I have disabled the Active Users List on my board.

[Stylez]

Same here, I just changed it to this, hope it doesn't screw anything up.


print_table_header("Journal Permissions");
print_yes_no_row("Can View Journal", 'usergroup[canviewjournal]', $ug_bitfield['canviewjournal']);
print_yes_no_row("Can Have Journal", 'usergroup[canhavejournal]', $ug_bitfield['canhavejournal']);

print_yes_no_row("Can Delete Own Journal Entries", 'usergroup[candeleteownentries]', $ug_bitfield['candeleteownentries']);
print_yes_no_row("Can Search Journal", 'usergroup[cansearchjournal]', $ug_bitfield['cansearchjournal']);

// print_yes_no_row("Can Delete Otheers Entries", 'usergroup[candeleteothersentries]', $ug_bitfield['candeleteothersentries']);
print_table_break();



where do we put this in?

[AN-net]

where do we put this in?
use that for the file edit for /admincp/usergroup.php instead of the one provided in the install.txt

I have this working great on my forums - but one small problem.

When viewing the Journal index, and the list of journals - clicking on 'Last entry' link on a journal brings up the following error:

This entry either does not exist or has yet to be approved by a site administrator.

No moderation is in force on journals.

When hovering over the 'Last entry' link, the url is shown in the status bar as ....forums/journal.php?do=showentry&e=0

The journal entry can, however be viewed when clicking on 'Latest entries' links.

Any advice on this?

it seems not to be updating the table correctly..... is it for journals with 1 entry?

Thanks for the prompt reply.

It is happening for every journal, irrespective of how many entries.

I have guest viewing disabled at the moment but if looking at it would help, I can set you up with a temp membership.

Excellent Hack here - My members love it.

The one thing i have noticed is that the most recent post is the very last post in the journals - same as i have my boards setup. is it possible to change this for the journals ONLY ? I dont want to change the way the boards post, but i would like the Journals to have the most recent post displayed first when you go to someones Public Journal.

Thanks for this

Hey AN-net, if you have the importer ready, can you post or send it via amil? I don't care about any kind of uninstall capability...I can do that manually if I ever have cause.

thanks.

[Taliesin]

Hi, I've installed the hack with little trouble, but I have a small problem. The edit and delete buttons don't show up for me on other people's journals, and I am an admin. Any reason why this is so?

r the images broken? if so be sure to upload the images:)

if they dont show up at all be sure to check your usergroup permissions:)

[Taliesin]

The images don't show at all. You had said in a prior post somewhere that admins get Edit and Delete permission by default, did you not? Otherwise the permissions to edit other people's journals has not been implemented yet.

[AN-net]

to my knowledge admins can edit and delete regardless of permissions...

[hkvic]

i would not mind registering:)

contact me via my aim and ill try to solve this:D

Thanks very much.

I've looked at this again and it seems that some are displaying correctly and some are not. There doesn't appear to be any pattern that I can see, it just happens to random entries.

I'll aim you with the details.

[Taliesin]

I've attached a screenie of a member's journal entry being viewed under my account, which as I said is admin. I dunno what's wrong with it. Someone posted something about multiple usergroups...but I'm only in the one usergroup.

I THINK it's only the images not showing that's the problem...give me the link that should work and I can test the theory.

[AN-net]

Due to a possible problem with updating of the last journal entry field, i have created a new update system:)

upload and overwrite the old journal.php with this new one:) this not a neccessary fix but this is a better way of updating;)

I will update zip shortly:)

[hkvic]

I just want to publicly thank you for sorting the problem I had and for providing the fix. Great work

[restless]

first of all.. thanks for a GREAT hack. it is a huge success on my forums.

i do have a question, however...

i've had several users ask if it would be possible to have their livejournal or blogger feed into vbjournal through the rss feed (as opposed to actually using the vbjournal to write the entries). so many of my users want to have their journal entries on our forum, but don't want to stop using livejournal or copying it over every time.

would it be possible to hack it somehow so that a user can choose for their journal to be a rss feed of their livejournal or blogger, and they simply enter the rss url?

it would be a huge addition for us.

sweeeeet....

[AN-net]

just something i was wondering, is the rss for live journal a paid only feature cause im using the free live journal and i see no rss option.... if it is a paid feature to parse correctly ill need access to one:)

this is needed now but sometime in the future when i develop version 2;)

[theArchitect]

After spending some time trying to get it working, I still cannot view the Status Icons in my Journal.

Instead of having the status icons next to the Journal entries I get the attached screen shot.

All the correct images are in the Images folder (and related styles folders).

Any assistance would be appreciated.

alright, installed this wonderful addition to my forums... got 2 probs popping up after (not that i am complaining, but thought others might wanna know)...

first is the phrases... which was a problem with the usergroup section and when i was editing the moods, and second was the issue with the asc/desc of the latest topics.

but other than these 2 minor probs, the journal seems to work great! i love it! thanks so so much for this :D :D :D

What is the status of the importer from Ryangel's journal system to yours?

If it's far from completion, I'll see what I can do -- perhaps this weekend -- in writing a cross-port myself. I'm sure there are many people here, myself included, who have installed (and/or helped upgrade Ryangel's journal system to vb3 such as myself) who would like to use your system but are stuck in limbo due to your seeming reluctance to update us on the importer.

Are there any others here who might be willing to help out in writing an importer from Ryangel's journal system to AN-Net's?

I haven't looked at AN-Net's journal system so I don't know how its database structures are set up. I could be wrong, but I can't imagine it would be too difficult to write an importer...

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

I was noticing that when you select a mood it doesn't show a preview of what the icon looks like, I was wondering if someone could make it to where it shows a preview of the icon just like the regular post system works on vbulletin.

I remember reading a couple weeks back - I thought - that the raw importer was all but done (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=571469&postcount=525) and it was a matter of whether to include an uninstall feature. A number of people have requested it without the uninstall capability, but I don't know if anything has come of those requests?

due to the urgency to release the hack i did not have time to add all the frill or the lace to the hack. in version 2 i plan to accessorize and lace vb journal with nice cool features;)

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

when is version 2 gonna be release? or around when?

[Zacharicus]

This looks great. Will this work for 3.0.1?

However, it seems like AN-Net has been very reluctant to talk about said importer since. He seems to have ignored my questions that I posted above, too, which is disappointing.

So, I'll ask once again:

just edit the insertjournal and insertentry php code in file where the sql queries are run:)

add a new query that adds +1 to their postcount;)

and then in deletejournalentry just add a new sql query that -1 from their postcount:D

Can someone do me a favor.... I talked to AN-net about a problem I am having with phrases NOT showing up in usergroup permission management area (http://www.animationation.net/community/showthread.php?t=1082)...

http://www.picvault.info/images/12836_blog-problem.gif

No problem, I can bear it till the time AN-Net makes the fix if someone can do me this lil favor...

can someone copy and paste here the order in which those phrases apprear [from you own install] so that I can make out what permission I am clicking on!!! I can manage the rest if I know the missing phrases and the order in which they appear! [I could not find a screenshot of the permissions ]


Thanks a LOT! :)

Is there a way to make the journals in journal.php show by default in the following order

Last entrie's date sort by descending

it can be done directly by pointing to journal.php?sort=lastentry_date&order=DESC but I wan to go to journal.php and appear by defaul like that...

hope someone can help me...

[akiy]

I worked out last night what I think is pretty much everything I need to import what I have from the Ryangel journal system to AN-Net's, at least in theory. In this present absence of any help from AN-Net, I'll see what I can do...
I finished putting together an importer of sorts. It's totally bare-bones, but it seems to work in importing the journals, the journal entries, and journal comments from Ryangel's vb3 journal system (which used to be on everythingvb.com and is now on vbhacks.us) to AN-Net's current system (as of 1.0.0, November 29th, 2004). Note: this importer is for the vb3 version of Ryangel's journal system, namely the version which I personally released back on everythingvb.com. I didn't follow the changes that occurred after that so there may be features (eg mood, now playing) that newer releases of that software may have added that won't be imported using this importer.

I have personally used this importer successfully on my test server.

In order to use this importer, you'll have to take into account that due to AN-Net's using the same names for some of the tables and templates, this is most likely a one-way import unless you back up your database and export your styles/phrases. I'm guessing that most folks who installed Ryangel's system are pretty competent hackers, so you should be able to go back if the importer fails. Nonetheless, I'll state here: CAVEAT/WARNING: I will not take any responsibility for any damage done to your system through the use of this importer. That said, I'll once again state that "it works for me."

The steps that this importer takes you through are the following:

1. Rename old Ryangel journal tables (importer can do this)
2. Install AN-Net's journal system (a manual step (ie you have to do this yourself))
3. Clear AN-Net journals/journal_entries/journal_comments tables (importer can do this)
4. Import journals (importer does this)
5. Import comments (importer does this)
6. Import entries (importer does this)

If you're interested in testing this out (even with the scary caveat above!), please PM me with your e-mail address and I'll send it out to you.

Hi An-Net!
is it possible to add the possibility of attach files to posts in journal?
Thanks in advance!

[heynurse]

This is going to sound real stupid.... but...For some reason, I cannot find where I need to modify my usergroup settings for this hack. It seems as though I followed all the install directions (I think :) )

I see the section in the admincp for vb Journal, but no settings for usergroup settings? right now, all my usergroups get an no access error message, even me the admin?

Where exactly do I find that section? I didn't see the location in the instructions anywhere?

Thanks in advance!

[heynurse]

No... how do I go about doing this.... with Journal or with vb's permissions
How did you update your permissions? I'm having the same problem?

Ok, I have a small problem. When a user submits a new journal entry, the Mood they chose doesn't show up. The only way to get it to show is to edit the entry, and re-choose the mood (in which case it works).

Any ideas? Could I have messed up the php somewhere? Other than that, it works perfectly.

it will be necessary to delete vbJournal v1 in order to install vBjournal 2?
or
it will be an update?

It is caused if it is necesary to uninstall vbJournal 1 I prefered to unistall it and dont let users use it and wait for v 2.

Do you calculate when it will be realeased?

Only a suggest:
I prefer 'Blog' to 'Journal', it is more familiar for our users. Maybe v2 could add an option to change name easily. Actualy I had to modify it by hand in all styles and files.

Thanks again AN-Net

well you will have to overwrite the old vb journal files but there will be an upgrader script and txt of course:)

well version 2 will be completely phrased so it should not be too hard to change, as for a date ill say i havent even started it yet and i dont plan to start it soon due to school etc.

Any update on this? Did I miss something in the previous 10 or so pages, since I last posted about it, or has it not been done yet?

[MotoUp]

Ok, I got it working, very slick. I like it :D Has anyone ever installed it that's running CPMS? For some reason the journal link on the portal page doesn't work, it doesn't have the /forums in the directory...but once inside the forums, it works fine...

[FleaBag]

Anyone have the basic table modifications to get the other journal converted to this one?

If you go to http://www.yoursite.net/yourforum/journal.php?do=addentry&j=XXXXX

xxxxx = none existing journal id, while browsing as a guest, you'll be able to post an entry, which shouldn't happen!!


Even tho I have set vBJournal Premissions for usergroup (1) Unregistered / Not Logged In, not to have journal!

Excellent hack An-Net, thanks a ton...

I have one suggestion...Brian over at vBAdvanced helped me out with this..

For anyone that wants to make the change, edit your navbar template.

Replace:
<td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="journal.php">Journal Index</a></td>
</tr>
<if condition="$bbuserinfo!=0">
<tr>
<td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="journal.php?do=gotomyjournal">My Journal</a></td>

With:
<td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="$vboptions[bburl]/journal.php">Journal Index</a></td>
</tr>
<if condition="$bbuserinfo!=0">
<tr>
<td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="$vboptions[bburl]/journal.php?do=gotomyjournal">My Journal</a></td>

This fixes the links if people are using the vBAdvanced CPMS portal.

[Thanatos]

um there arent that many errors no need for this to be a beta release


i dont see y it is doing that because the templates work fine on mine and we copied directly from sites working templates....
Is there a way to change the sql statement in journal.php so that it does not increment the view counter when the actual owner of the journal views his own journal?

can someone post what that modification would be please?

When the next version of vBulletin comes out, will you provide update scripts somewhere down the road?
I?m just asking because I just read something about a new version being in the works (which might be true most of the time, of course), so I?m just thinking if I should wait for that one to come out or not.

While this may the more obvious, I didn't see it when I browsed over a few pages of this thread. The journal entries are listed from old to new, just as the posts in the forum are, when it would appear they should be new to old (i.e. the newest entry on top, with previous ones following).

How would I attain this?

I'm not sure why you don't mention what file to edit instead of a link to what the edit is. But my guess would be you should. This same question has been asked too many times in this thread. ;)

that is the /admincp/usergroup.php file edit;)

[Infopro]

Care to add that to your first post?

Thanks AN-net . ;)

[Flexo]

How about the post count? Will blog entries and comments increment the forum post count?

[AN-net]

How about the post count? Will blog entries and comments increment the forum post count?
um not currently as i believe it will give the wrong impression and completely messup the vb system;)

[Flexo]

Couldn´t that be configured in the Admin CP? It is an extra subforum, isn´t it? Then users (i.e. admins) could chose if they wanted it to increment the forum post count or not.


Well, the journal entries at least, if not the comments.

[AN-net]

it would be a useless feature as is it could mess up parts of vB;)

[Flexo]

Ah, coding-wise. (How exactly?)
I thought you meant, well, forum post count-wise, since blog-posts aren?t technically forum-posts ;)

[AN-net]

yes it will mess up the count and mislead many. also this would require alot of editing of the files so it keeps up to date and correct

[w0z]

Helo!

How is the new version progressing?

Is there any timeline when we could expect to have it delivered?

Thank you very much for this great Hack! I'm eagerly waiting next version to Install :)

Cheers,
woz

[Flexo]

Ok, I installed it (just before noticing that vB 3.0.4 is out :angry: ), but I can´t go anywhere. When I want to access it, I get an error telling me that I don´t have permission.
I´m quite certain that it´s something obvious I´m just not seeing, but I can´t find the error.

[Flexo]

Ok, I found where I can manage the permissions, but most of the fields are non descriptive, i.e. it just says

Yes No
Yes No

The only visible fields are "Can View Comments", "Can Edit Own Journal Entries" and "Can Delete Own Journal Entries".

That did it, thanks :)

How do I remove the "quick reply" comments box under the user's journal and force others to use the text links (Comments (1)) to leave comments?

btw, this is a superb hack, everything went flawless for me 'cept this

Any idea when V2 will be out? I would hate to install v1 then v2 come out a day later! :) Also will it be easy to upgrade to v2 if I install this version?

truthfully i havent even started it so dont even expect any time very soon;)

[paulz]

see a few posts above for fix;)
whoops! lol thanks!

[paulz]

actually, one more thing. does this hack use the forum's default sorting options? i'd like to have it sort by last entry first but not the rest of the forum...:)

[AN-net]

it uses its own sorting you can simply change it by editing the journal.php file in the designated section;)

[paulz]

<<<intimidated already :( i'm not good with code and i'm scared of breaking it lol

[Flexo]

Has anyone tried it with 3.0.4 yet?

[MotoUp]

I'm running 3.0.4 now, and it works great after doing the file edits again.

[Flexo]

How did it work? You had a 3.0.3 with the journal-mod and just ran the upgrade to 3.0.4 and did the journal-file-edits again?
What about the templates?

[MotoUp]

That's exactly what I did. I didn't have to do anything with the templates, they weren't changed at all.

[TTG]

Has anyone tried it with 3.0.4 yet?

Upgraded to 3.0.4 yesterday and it created no problems with the journal :)

[Flexo]

Yep, looks good. Did the upgrade, applied the file edits again and so far it seems to work :)

[smdani]

How can I show last Journal's updated when a user clic on 'New Messages'?
That's why Journals are very hidden, and users use to look for new messages by looking for last updated threads.
Thanks a lot! It is a good hack!

[smdani]

One more question,
is it easy to add a WYSIWYG editor?

Thanks again

[agiacosa]

Installed well and seems to work but some of the items are missing in the admincp. I've attached an image. What could be wrong?

[agiacosa]

Also, I have no moods. Where can I get them?

you can add moods via admincp and you can just regular smilies for moods;)

Is it possible for a zip file with the latest files, i download the first post one, but ended up with errors when installing, i love to have this running, but had to remove it due to to many errors, maybe also as i do have a few mods installed so could well be one of them not liking it.

hmmm check your functions.php file and the other includes file. this is a vb defined function and an error in the file could cause the function not to exist

[Boh]

Checked all of the file edits... and they are intact.... I am using 3.0.0 and the install file says


*USE THE EDIT ABOVE FOR /INCLUDES/FUNCTIONs.PHP IF YOUR USING vB 3.0.3*

*IF YOUR USING vB3.0.1 USE THE EDIT BELOW FOR /INCLUDES/FUNCTIONS.PHP*

-------------------------------
Open: /includes/functions.php

And then nothing else.... so uh.... I just used the edits from above for 3.0.3.......

still check to see if you can find the exec_header_redirect() function

Hey good one here, just got around to fooling around with this. The code needs a bit of optimization. Xenon could probably help you with that one lol...good one. With a bit of optimization and customization, its working super fast and super amazing!

Great job.

I'm sorry, I meant I want to make a dedicated journal page and not forum, so when visitors are visitting my page, they will see all the journal posts first.

I know I can redirect people to go to journal page first using simple php or html header, just wondering if there is a different way from script's end. Sorry for such a silly quesion.

not unless you renamed the file and edited the file and edited the templates. another way to redirect is with cpanel where you can set it up that the domain always redirects to a page;)

Is there any chance of a journal upgrade script soon because I don't want to lose all the journal entries (approx. 5000) but I need to upgrade within the next week. Or any possible idea for when it will be around?

Installed Journal went through the million steps, and it seemed to install fine no errors, but i click on the Journal button on the navbar and it links to this

[Underlab]

ok left out this step on that one:

<tr>
<td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="journal.php?do=gotomyjournal">My Journal</a></td>
</tr>
</if>

but now users are getting this error:

Alright.. trying to get this hack set up and working but not as easy as said. Anyways...

1.) I have a problem. When I go to my user group area to modify user groups premession it doesn't show all the options (to see a picture go to: http://www.exasko.info/usergroup.JPG)

2.) Once I allow a group to view the journal page it becomes a blank page.

3.) Also in my vBulletin Options there is no Journal listed but I still got to the setting page (admincp/journaladmin.php?do=settings) That is right, right?

Any help would be apperciated. (BTW: I am running on vb. 3.0.5
