Just a quick question...what folder do the moods images default to (if I dun put anything in the input box for that , i.e. just the image name)? root or images?

Thanks

CR
any folder you choose;) just be sure to provide the path or url to it

EX: journal.php?do=showjournal&j=1

User(s) see's X amount of entries per page.

I would like to see a char limit (500-1000) option and a link to the "full story + comments" per entry. @ the moment a user can post a book (scroll 5-10 pages)vs. small "previews" and click [more].

Just some thoughts.

yes that is possible
* AN-net adds to list of journal features for second version

[Ninth Dimension]

I'm looking to use this hack on an upcoming site of mine.. what I'm interested to know if is it will be possable for admins to set specific members as "featured" journal writers..

I'll go into a bit more detail.. my site is about the paranormal, and so the main forums are going to be used for posts on that topic, i'll be using one of the cool article hacks to post things like reviews on books (such as the da vinci code, for example), and this wonderful journal system for people to keep records of their own paranormal experiances.

Thing is, a few of the members, espiclaly the mods, are people who have dealings with the paranormal every day (such as member of a spiritulist church, a tatrot reader, etc..), and so, while all the other members journals are still worth something - these specific members journals will be far more, uumm, *interesting*, as well (i hope) updated far more often.

Due to this, what I'd be keen on doing is setting a couple of the members as "featured" journals, and somehow have their entries highlighted.. and maybe shown at the top of the list, etc... - you know?

I might even take this as far as having these specific members journals directly listed and linked to from the sites front page.. but that's more of an advanced feature... all I'm keen to know right now is if the idea of setting specific members as features is possable, and if it's currently not, how hard would it be to implament?

well you could add to the journal table a field that indicates if its a featured journal etc. or you can simply have them add it to the title of their journal Such as : "Featured Journal: xxx".

but it would require some php editing and database changes if you were to fully implement it

[Ninth Dimension]

OK, that sounds easy enough... it's kind of what I was thinking anyway... I was just wondering if you might already have it implamented already...

I noticed you talked about future releases? I was wondering, when might these happen? if at all? Last thing I want to do is use this hack, mod it to my own needs, the find you've released an update (which I either won't be able to use, or i'll have to mod yet again).

Thx.

there will be a future release but when is uncertain since it has yet to be started. once released there will be major changes to the structure and code so you most likely have to modify the file again at least;)

So I have just been installing the journal system over the past day and I think I have everything but 2 bugs worked out. Both of these seem to be template errors. I've been going over templates now for hours and I'm just burnt. I thought I'd post here to see if someone would be kind enough to give me a gentle shove in the right direction.

Attached are the screen shots of the two errors I get.

Thanks for the any input! :)

What would it take to add say 5-10 varchar text fields to the journal? I would like to use this hack as a Dive log system but in order for it to be functional it needs to collect some additional information and I'm wondering how feasible that would be. Thank you!

well you would have to modify certain templates, some parts of the file, and add new fields to the journal or entry table

I would like to make a link in the postbit that links to the user's journal. I was planning on using a simple link, and parsing the user's userid into the extended php vars. THEN I noticed that the userid is not the same as the journal id. To me is makes sence to make them the same. What do you think of that...it makes perfect sense to me.

Anyone have another idea on how to make the link I want?

that is already possible if you made the changes to functions_showthread.php and showthread.php and the postbit templates. if you did look in the dropdown and there should be a link to the user's journal.

I feel silly for asking, but just trying to save myself some time. ;)

What bit of code points to the image directory for "moods"? I would like to put a custom path. I didn't see a default directory for them or anything, and would like the journal to look in the images/moods for them.

Thanks AN, great app. Looking forward to future updates of it.

the permissions are the same as any other usergroup permission. you go into the usergroup editor and edit the desired usergroups and give them the desired permissions for the journal;)

yes please do a search for changing the order buy using the search feature within the thread

[James T Brock]

I had the same question. I wanted the new articles to display at the top like a traditional journal. I searched this thread like you suggested and found the post with someone asking the same question, I think on page 6. You stated that it was planned for version 2. But that reply was months ago. Is that still accurate today?

I'd assume it would be an easy modification for us to make in-order for it to work. Do we have the wait till version two or is there a way to mod it for new articles to show in descending order?

[msimplay]

if you choose private and choose allow buddies view thenyou dont need to put your journal buddyies id's in the field, the fieldis meant for people you usually dont let view your entries/journal:) userids refers to their number and username refers to their name, so only use userid/number;)

how do i seperate the user id's i normally do it with a comma
>>> ,

however it doesn't seem to be working those id's can't seem to view the entry how would i go about fixing this

[Mystictrunks03]

i did the phrase fix and it only did it for some, it didnt show the phrase for reporting and the phrases for editing and deleting others journals and entrys and when those // are by it it doesnt show up and when u take em off, you can see the things but the phrase doesnt show

Once again great script!

Journal buddies are working fine however

i will look into this issue over the weekend

[msimplay]

i will look into this issue over the weekend

thanks

hmm i also seem to have a problem when deleting journals

when i delete the journal using the link the page just goes blank

it doesn't matter if i do it as admin or user account

[darcyb]

Wow, this was one big update. My eyes are bugging. :)

I'm done the installation and am noticing that variables are not appearing in the bread crumbs, and various things when viewing /forums/journal.php?do=showjournal.

Attached is a screen capture showing information that won't display for the title of journal, journalist, entries, and last-updated shows 12-31-1969.

Any ideas on what I may have done wrong? I didn't notice any errors running the install script and tried to be careful everywhere else. I ran the fixphrases script, and changed the usergroup file with static english titles to get the options to show up, as instructed by the update section of the first page of this thread.

I also set a custom title, but it's ignoring it and still trying to use "username's Journal".

I've created one journal, made one entry in it, and yet the bottom of the screen stats say Journals: 0 | Entries: 0 | Comments: 0

[AN-net]

you must have journal.php?do=showjournal&journalid=xxx

without that it will not return a correct journal.

you may have to approve your journal/entry if you turned it on;)

[darcyb]

Sorry, I omitted that part in my post just to reference the file. The URL was in fact /forums/journal.php?do=showjournal&j=1 when I took that screen capture.

I turned on all permissions in the admin user group and no moderation requirements. How do you mean approve it?

Thanks so much for your reply.

[darcyb]

Ok. Auto approving posts was on, but not auto approving journals. I went in the admin panel and approved it.

Still, the title won't show, the date of creation and last update is 1969 and so on.

[darcyb]

OH! It's working now. I used the "show all journals" admin thing to try to approve it, and just now went to "moderate journals" and there was a separate approval thing. Since approving it THAT way, everything just came to life.

Does that mean that if I moderate the creation of new journals in the future, forum members will see 1969 dates, and missing journal titles when they click on 'my journal', ,just like I did until I did the approve thing?

[AN-net]

well technically it will only grab journals that are active/approved so even if an id is given the query will not grab the information until it is approved. so with moderation on the data will not be grabbed for unapproved journals;)

[darcyb]

Will people creating new journals, not yet approved, click on their 'my journal' link and see the same gobbly goop I did, or is it only because I was an admin and circumvented something?

[darcyb]

A question. Can journalists turn off the commenting system to their journal? If so, where?

[AN-net]

Will people creating new journals, not yet approved, click on their 'my journal' link and see the same gobbly goop I did, or is it only because I was an admin and circumvented something?

[AN-net]

as currently no, there will be tons more end user options in the second version:)

[Omega Prime]

Just wondering: when can we all expect version 2? I'm hoping to see it (as well as a conversion script of Ryanangle's journal system) within the coming weeks :)

[TimBUG]

I've just downloaded and installed vb journal. Everything seemed ok when I was installing it, but now I can't access the journals.

When I click on the link to the journals I see the following error message:

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

1. 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?
2. If you are trying to post, the administrator may have disabled your account, or it may be awaiting activation.

Do you know what I have done wrong? Or where I should look to try and fix this problem?

[Paul M]

Have you set the permissions in your usergroup(s).

If this has been answered already, what page in this thread?

What do I need to edit (and how) to reverse the order of journal entries so that newer ones appear on top, and older ones below?

---time passes---

Ok, found it. I had to change ASC to DESC in journal.php where it says:

$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 DESC
LIMIT $start,$perpage
");

Now, how do I reverse the "#1, #2...#n" post URL counter so that it goes from highest to lowest from top to bottom. It's stil going #1 through #n top to bottom which looks/means funny.

[TimBUG]

Thanks,

I set my permissions in admincp and everything works fine now. Well almost...

My permissions menu in admincp looks like this:
http://www.bug.co.uk/images/admincp.gif

I assume I didn't set up one of the templates properly. Which one?

[Polo]

Not trying to be rude or anything... but why dont you read the first post? read below "Updates/Fixes:" this problem has been fixed I dont know how many times...

[Polo]

I would like to see this mod in the premium section... I think it deserves it.

[Guest190829]

Me too, it will organize fixes to bugs such as the one above^^^ so people don't keep asking the same question.

[TimBUG]

Thanks for that. It works fine now.

Because the last update was 27 Dec I didn't think to look at any fixes made before that date.

[Royalridge]

Not sure if this a "bug", a "missed feature" or "by design" but there's a fair amount of output in this script that doesn't go through the auto-censor.

Specifically, the "mouse hover" on the "Latest Entries" and the entry titles on "do=showjournal" aren't parsed.

I've hacked my journal.php to parse these a bit better but is there an "official" fix available? Ideally there should be a switch to decide whether or not this hack uses the auto-censor or not. For those sites that want to let their users swear in their journals ;) ;)

[AN-net]

oh the swear system was never input into the system. i did not remember to add it and also i personally saw no need for it since its someone's journal but i will consider it in version 2;)

[Royalridge]

Well for our forum we decided that our normal forum rules regarding language and content were to apply. I would suggest that for Version 2 there is a Admin Control Panel setting that allows the forum administrator the choice of implementing the board auto-censor or not :)

[AN-net]

of course there would be an option turning it on and off ;)

[Royalridge]

Oh, and while I'm "wishlisting", support for the advanced editors ;) ;) (I'll be quiet now!)

[jcr]

in admincp/journaladmin.php

$DB_site->query("DELETE FROM journal_moods WHERE mood_id=".$mid."");

Should be changed to

Otherwise incredibly fantastic hack :D

[T3MEDIA]

I was trying to add the PungoSpell for vBulletin3 WYSIWYG and Standard mode hack but she wont go... would love to add this spell checker... NOW I KNOW this isnt your hack but I assumed maybe someone else has this idea as well and would like to share.

Also how do I add smilies into the edit areas? just has simple text.

[StewardManscat]

Uh-oh. Somewhere in these fifty-odd pages, there is sure to be much discussion on image uploading.

I intend to hack this code to add an image to each journal entry.

If it's been done, or there's a reason I shouldn't , please reply. I am subscribed to this thread now.

Thanks for the reply. Question is whether I should bother. Tried searching for an expected release date in this forum, you know how hard that can be. No commitments, a ballpark will do. Just let me make a decision for now. If release 2 is out next week I certainly won't get off my butt! Many thanks in advance.

I was using a heavily modified vbJournal 1.1b By Ryangel before stumbling accross this thread. Anyways if you used the same 1.1b (maybe later versions even) script, here is a 'use at your own risk' script you can use to import your old journals to this new system.

1. Upload script to admincp dir.
2. You should have a clean install of this new system, as this import script uses all the old entry/journal/comment id's.

mods, please delete this if its not allowed for whatever reason.

[nsanden]

Guess I could skim this thread some more (only read the first 5 or so pages) but curious if anyone has posted a fix/way so that when i view online.php it doesnt say 'Unknown Location' when users are in the journal area?

Since my forum doesn't use any prefix, am I supposed to just remove the "vb3_" part of the script? I tried it and didn't seem to notice any changes to the journal tables, so I'm not sure what I need to do with this (as I'd really like to convert to AN's system soon)

[AN-net]

yes if you dont have a table prefix remove those, i am not supporting this converter just giving some advice;)

[nsanden]

Omega Prime,

You might want to give your old journal tables a prefix of some sort, just because i can't remember if the new journal has some of the same table names.

So what i would do in your case is change the old journal table names to old_journal, old_entries, etc and then change your prefix's in the script accordingly and try it.

Works perfectly on 3.0.7 except:

(1) Search gives page numbers for the search results but that's all. There are no actual search results displayed.

(2) Can't find the report link.

make sure you have those templates installed;) and report was removed from this version due to some bugginess:D

[Omega Prime]

I tried the following:

I made a copy of the 3 main journal tables from Ryangle's version (journal, journal_comments, and journal_entry) and added them to the DB as old_journal_comments, etc. I then edited the script so that the old table would be "old_" and the new one as "new_", but when running it, I get the following 2 main errors:

Warning: mysql_fetch_array(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in \admincp\journal_import.php on line 23
Warning: mysql_fetch_array(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in \admincp\journal_import.php on line 50

Any help on this is appreciated :)

Ok, I am trying to upgrade from the ryangel script, haven't got to the script yet, but I've installed this. In the admincp in the usergroup section under user note permissions, I get the box which I presume is meant for journals. It doesn't have a header though and there are 11 lines there, but only 3 pieces of text. (there are also 11 radio button selections).


p.s. I haven't deleted any of the tables from the previous version yet because I want to keep the tables in case I delete the wrong one when upgrading which coincidentally gives me the following error.

Warning: mysql_fetch_array(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in /admincp/journal_import.php on line 27

yea but the point is I have a automated site. that is why. I would be very thankful

Hey how come you cant delte comments?????

[T3MEDIA]

All permissions are set to YES on usergroup manager for admin

But i dont see a delete button for the comments bit...
same thing here for me.

[Lionel]

In journalbits, that entry $journal[lastentry] is making the title too long and stretching front page. Where can I go to fix the substr? Thanks

Never mind. I reduced lastentry varchar from 80 to 50 directly in database.

[T3MEDIA]

would some one be so kind to make a cron job to delete users no longer on the site? I have too many users and too many have journals.
thanks.

[memobug]

Do you want to delete the users or their journals? I am not sure about the criterion "no longer on the site" but there are functions to delete users based on inactivity and post count.

1. There is a prune users function in the admin control panel under USERS.

2. If you need a mod that prunes users on a regular basis, here's one:

Tried the importer that was posted a few pages back and ran into some problems with it which Wonko the Sane corrected and you will find reflected in the attached file.

1. Run this query in php my admin to rename your original ryangel journal tables so we still have them in case something goes wrong. If your using a table prefix, you'll need to add that to the query below.



ALTER TABLE journal RENAME old_journal;
ALTER TABLE journal_comments RENAME old_journal_comments;
ALTER TABLE journal_entry RENAME old_journal_entry;


2. Upload file in admincp and run it. It's already set to use the "old_" prefix we set above.

Thanks to nsanden who made the importer in the first place.

I tried it out, but here's what happens:

I ran step one with no problem. For step 2, I ran the script and it shows "--Finished" with no errors. But... doesn't the script supposed to make new tables such as "journal_entries", etc? I don't use any prefix for my journal, and I didn't alter the script you provided, so I'm not sure if I'm missing anything :o

[Reeve of shinra]

I should edit those instructions. Rename the tables using the query I gave, use the journal installer from this hack, then use the importer.

Edit: in your case, install the journal as you would on a clean install, then run the importer again.

Thanks! After installing (and having a few problems along the way), I installed it and can currently view the entries. Just a few problems remain:

1. When installing, I saw this:

Invalid SQL: INSERT INTO phrase (`languageid`, `varname`, `text`, `phrasetypeid`) VALUES (0, 'journalmodulenotactive', 'The journal module has been deactivated.', 1000)
mysql error: Duplicate entry 'journalmodulenotactive-0-1000' for key 2

I assume it's probably because of the previous journal setup, so I dunno if you (or AN, or anyone else) could perhaps find a way to either install the missing phrases or make a phrase-uninstall script so I can try this again.

2. While it did import the entries and such, certain words like "I've" appear as "I/'ve" and whatnot, so I'm not sure if there's a way to fix this (other than editing each entry)

Thanks in advance for anyone's help :)

Ok this update will fix a possible Sql injection problem and all are encouraged to upgrade!!

To fix this flaw without overwriting find this line in journal.php:

$DB_site->query("UPDATE ".TABLE_PREFIX."journals
SET lastentry='".$lastentry['entrytitle']."', entrycount=entrycount-1, lastentry_date='".$lastentry['entrydate']."',
lastentry_id='".$lastentry['entry_id']."'
WHERE journal_id='".$j."'
");


replace that with:

$DB_site->query("UPDATE ".TABLE_PREFIX."journals
SET lastentry='".addslashes($lastentry['entrytitle'])."', entrycount=entrycount-1, lastentry_date='".$lastentry['entrydate']."',
lastentry_id='".$lastentry['entry_id']."'
WHERE journal_id='".$j."'
");

Do you mind adding something? something small.
a cron job that removes a journal when a user is no longer registered on the site.

That would be nice. Users that have huge sites with the remove me link or even if the admin removes users this option would be awsome.

Once site I admin has 16,000 regular users thats a lot of jurnals.

You probably messed up an edit. Just go over them and check to make sure they are right using unhacked files.

[GraphicW]

The install of this went perfect. I had to do the usergroup fix, but it was easy enough to handle. I do have one slight problem though. I would like to enable journals on a per user basis only. I do not want a whole usergroup to have the ability to have a journal. I have noticed in the user option in the admin CP, you can select Yes or No to allow a user to have a journal. The problem is that this option defaults to YES. Is there a way to have it default to NO so that it may be set on a per user basis?

[GraphicW]

I also noticed that when you select NO in the Jorunal Options: setting in the user settings menu, it goes back to YES when you view the setting again. Could this be a bug or have I made a good somewhere?

"6.Conduct file edits and follow "save and upload" instructions
7.Do Template Edits
8.Do Template Additions"
but I'm kind of a beginner and I need a little more direction than that. :confused:
Its very possible I just didn't do something in the install I need to do, but I did follow all the specific steps. My journaladmin page is just an empty "Manage Journals" table with no options to do anything: http://www.doggiebagonline.com/forum/admincp/journaladmin.php

And I don't have a way to access that php doc without directly typing in the url. Am I supposed to have a link within my admincp?

Ok I installed this hack, but there are only 3 phrases showing in the Usergroups in ACP. I ran the phrasefix.php file, and it showed "PHRASES FIXED", but it changed nothing. So I went to this page (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=553468&postcount=56), but I don't know which file to apply the changes to? So please can someone help here? Below is my current phrase search for 'journal' (w/o the quotes) in Permissions.

READ THE FIRST POST!!!

WHY THE SHOUTING??? :down:

I did read the first post (of the thread that is, and several pages after that! :cross-eyed: Not good at reading lots of posts online!!!), still no help. If you meant the post you made above, sorry but that is no help either as FYI I did all the edits etc (from instructions supplied), carefully. I even went over them another couple of times since I thought I'd gone wrong somewhere, but came up with nothing. Everything works, apart from the phrases I mentioned. I don't know much about these things so I'd appreciate it if you was more specific.

My users will complain if they can't use the journals because I can't allow them to have free run over the journals since I don't know what I'm allowing them to do.

your fix is under updates/fixes. not every single fix was put in the new journal files because they didnt apply to everyone.

what types of errors and did u reedit all the files?

[GamerzWorld]

what types of errors and did u reedit all the files?

Errror on line 506 which is the bottom file edit in the functions.php.. wasnt sure about showthread i had to uninstall it all to get it to work

[AN-net]

well im currently, upgrading my site so ill install it and tell you how it goes;)

[G3MM4]

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 View Comments", 'usergroup[canviewcomments]', $ug_bitfield['canviewcomments']);
print_yes_no_row("Can Comment Journals", 'usergroup[cancommentjournals]', $ug_bitfield['cancommentjournals']);
print_yes_no_row("Can Rate Journals", 'usergroup[canratejournals]', $ug_bitfield['canratejournals']);
print_yes_no_row("Can Report Journals", 'usergroup[canreportentries]', $ug_bitfield['canreportentries']);
print_yes_no_row("Can Edit Own Journal", 'usergroup[caneditownjournal]', $ug_bitfield['caneditownjournal']);
print_yes_no_row("Can Edit Own Journal Entries", 'usergroup[caneditownentries]', $ug_bitfield['caneditownentries']);
print_yes_no_row("Can Delete Own Journal", 'usergroup[candeleteownjournal]', $ug_bitfield['candeleteownjournal']);
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 Edit Others Journal", 'usergroup[caneditothersjournal]', $ug_bitfield['caneditothersjournal']);

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

And that is where I looked as well. This should have been obvious when I first posted about it. However it doesn't explain which file to put the above code in. I tried this with the phrasefix.php file and I just got errors. I also tried the phrasefix.php file unmodified and it didn't give errors but it didn't correct the problem either.

look at the original installation instructions... look for something similar that looks like the new updated code and just replace the original... nobody is trying to be rude or anything G3MM4 is just that this question has been asked around a dozen times...

Somehow an old fix which i thought i did snuck back into the file. anyways here is an updated file which solves ismba's error:)

will update zip soon:D

Going to have another look...

[Sleepyk]

So wait this wont work if i have sub-forums in workin?

[vandygirlcr]

IMHO, this program doesn't have enough instructions and the zip should include the updates. You say that you will update the zip file, but then you shout at us when we didn't go and upload the update. I followed every instruction, but the last three steps are so vague, I didn't know what to do with them. I'm not an idiot, I have done other mods successfully, but this one just doesn't seem complete. I seem to be wasting my time because all you did was tell me to go back and read something I said I didn't understand in the first place. :tired:

[cityofangelus]

I installed this on 3.0.7 and the install went well, have fixed the problem in ACP and the text missing in usergroups but I cannot get the moods to work..

I nam also getting a lot of missing phrases when I am saving in admin esp with the moods, have ran the phrase fix and nothing happened!

When I upload a mood and go to use it I get the error below:

Can anyone help?

um so there are no moods in the dropdowns? if your getting an error when adding new moods please post it.

the zip does include almost all the updates except the updates that fix problems that only occur under special conditions. i do not see how my instructions are vague or incomplete. the last few lines of the instructions simply give you template edits and template additions, nothing imcomplete about that.

[cityofangelus]

i dont believe there were any phrases used in the mood admincp...

When I have had to delete a mood I have a box up that say cannot find phrase * * * * moods see attached image..

Also any idea why the moods are not working??????

Cheers

[AN-net]

hmmm that is not really a big problem since its just a phrase for admincp redirect stating that the mood has been deleted. for your piece of mind you can just create that phrase yourself:)

I wasn't too bothered about that to be honest as i though that it wouldnt make any difference at all..

I am still at a loss why the moods won't work though and as you are the person to talk to I was hoping you would be able to help me out....

All I get when I add a mood is no mood in the drop down and that annoying 's journal underneath, which I might add repeats itself on how many mood images I have uploaded and added...

Also I cannot find anywhere that says you can upload attachments to the journal on posting, have I got that wrong or am I missing something lol

Cheers for your help appreciate it

um journal attachments are planned for next version, check your database to see if there are any journal moods in it.

[vandygirlcr]

The last few lines of the instructions simply give you template edits and template additions, nothing imcomplete about that.

It just says, make edits, but I don't know what edits or additions I should be making.

Over the course of the next 2 weeks, I am going to attempt to code up an importer script from Ryangel's version of the Journal that was ported to vB3 to vBJournal. A couple of things may be changed to vBJournal's functionality beforehand to make it possible, but we'll see how things go.

I will be looking for testers, so if you're interested feel free to send me a PM.

good news to hear:)

Also my site has moved to http://www.animationtalk.com! current there is no journal installed on site but i will be adding that back soon;)

Oh ok I read that incorrectly about the attachments thanks for that

As for the moods I have checked the DB and the tables and I have a moods table and it has the one mood that I added in the table..

Its still not showing in the journal though, still getting the same error..

Cheers

:cheeky:

[Oblivion Knight]

I have the basics of the importer script done already.. :D

I'm just adding a couple of extras to it at the moment, including automatic vBJournal template installation (hoorah!). The importer will also run the queries of the installer..

[Beowolf]

Hi, does the vB Journal 1 0 0.zip link in the first post (under "Download") contain all the fixes that have been posted?

[Oblivion Knight]

Just noticed a bug, though it's probably been reported already..

Note, the first page of a journal's entries goes:
#1, #2, #3, #4, #5, #6, #7, #8, #9, #10

The second page, instead of continuing the original count it starts a new one:
#1, #2, #3, #4, #5, #6, #7, #8, #9, #10

[Paul M]

Just noticed a bug, though it's probably been reported already.I'm not aware of it ever being reported, but I can confirm it here as well :)

I maybe late in the game on this question, but...
Is there a way for the admin to delete the users' journal posts?


Thanks all

lsmba
if you setup permissions that you can delete journal entries and are an admin then you should be able to. also make sure you have uploaded the images correctly as to delete it requires an image button to click.

[zetetic]

Are any of the updates listed in the first post already in the zip? If not, does the "beefed up privacy" fix by any chance make it so admins can't view members private entries?

all fixes except the ones only pretain certain conditions(such as conflicts with other hacks) are all in the zip. admins are able to see all entries even private ones for the purpose of moderation.

Thanks for the quick reply, An-net. You've done a great job with this. :)

If you're taking requests for features, it would be nice if "Can view users private entries" was a usergroup permission -- and if private entries were somehow marked as such on the journalbit.

Also, has anyone mentioned that bbcode isn't getting parsed in the Recent Comments section?

i am planning on adding alot more usergroup permissions in the next version and bb code is purposely not parsed in recent comments for loading reasons;)

[Cloud-Warrior]

Not sure if this is a common bug but on:

http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/journal.php?do=showcomments&j=1163&e=1280

if you click on page 2 you get a weird _REQUEST in the URL. Also, there's only two pages shown when there should be seven. Maybe it's something to do with the fact that I've just used OBK's handy exporter, maybe not...

[zetetic]

Cool. :)

and bb code is purposely not parsed in recent comments for loading reasons;)
You mean to make the page load a little faster, or is it something worse? Because I wouldn't mind a slight performance hit if it means not having to see the raw bbcodes in comments... that's pretty ugly.

[AN-net]

This is excellent but could it be possible for comments to lead back to the journal entry that they were posted in because I look at the recent comments on my Journal and sometimes i don't know what i've said in the entry that they commented on

[pipedreams]

<i>forgive if this question was asked already..</i>

It is possible (now) for the journal text input interface to be the same as that of the thread text input interface???

In others words for it to have the b i u buttons and so on?

I know the journals support bbcode - so it should not be a problem?

Surely its just a template change?

[Gio Takahashi]

Just thought I mentioned that thanks to the importer that is out by oblivion knight (I think he made it), I was finally able to install it, I've waited for almost a year for a whole new system, and many, many months for the importer. It is definitely worth the wait. I'm happy and my member is happy with this journal.

One thing I ran into was when someone starts or updates their journal and select a "mood," the icon doesn't show. I set them up in the admin, but the actual entries they're not visable. Is there something I missed or messed up?

Edit: I also get this message... "Could not find phrase 'journal_mood_updated_successfully'." Doing a search on this mboard didn't come up with anything.

I did find it. My text editor's search didn't find it, but I found it manually just now.

I think I may have located the problem... The script is not seeing the smilies in the smilies directory. If I tweak the path, they show up.

Still a couple of other things to solve like the "Could not find phrase 'journal_mood_updated_successfully'" error message when I edit the moods.

Well taking a look - it does - it's on line 1109 - and is already fixed.

Great Hack.

Since upgrading to the newest version of VB (3.0.7) When people try and look at there journals it just returns a blank page?

Any idea what is causing this - I have installed all the latest bits from this thread.

You can see it at http://www.uk-muscle.co.uk/journal.php

The "showentry" works - http://www.uk-muscle.co.uk/journal.php?do=showentry&e=187

Its the "showjournal" bit that dosnt work
