:)Erm, ok. Surely it would have been more sensible to convert them as they were imported, instead of editing the display code ?

Erm, ok. Surely it would have been more sensible to convert them as they were imported, instead of editing the display code ?
Good point. What the hell's wrong with you, OBK? :D



Oh, btw, I found these three phrases missing:

Under Control Panel Stop Messages:

journal_mood_deleted_successfully --> Mood deleted successfully.
journal_mood_updated_successfully --> Mood updated successfully.
journal_inserted_mood_successfully --> Inserted {1} successfully.

[Oblivion Knight]

Erm, ok. Surely it would have been more sensible to convert them as they were imported, instead of editing the display code ?Due to the way that the query is run, it wasn't possible without running a second routine to grab the entries and comments once again, strip the slashes and unencode the HTML from them and re-insert them..

The script runs enough large queries as it is, and I felt that editing the display code would be better. I could always change this for v1.0 - but the majority of people will have already imported and started using vBJournal anyway.

[FleaBag]

I've got this up and running now thanks to Oblivion_Knight's importer. Thanks to all involved in this project, great work!

[Zacharicus]

Thanks for a fantastic system. Been using it for a while and members love it.

But say, is it possible to display title and some stats from the journal on the forum home? I know about the addon, but I don't use vBindex.

[She Unlimited]

I was so curious about this as well.

[Ryan Ashbrook]

Right, I just installed this on vB 3.0.7 because I saw posts saying it would work. However I am having a few problems. When I go by the instructions I get and error in the functions.php on line 2017 which is this:

$debughtml = '<hr />';
//$debughtml .= "<ul><a href=php%20back%20ups//%22#/%22 onclick=\"set_cookie('vbulletin_collapse', ''); window.location=window.location\">vbulletin_collapse</a>:<br /><li>" . str_replace("\n", '</li><li>', $_COOKIE['vbulletin_collapse']) . "</li></ul>";
$debughtml .= "\n<form name=\"debugger\" action=php%20back%20ups//%22/%22>\n<div align=\"center\">\n<!--querycount-->Executed <b>$query_count</b> queries<!--/querycount-->" . iif($_TEMPLATEQUERIES, " (<b>" . sizeof($_TEMPLATEQUERIES) . "</b> queries for uncached templates)", '') . " . ";
$debughtml .= " (<a href=\"" . htmlspecialchars_uni(SCRIPTPATH) . iif(strpos(SCRIPTPATH, '?') '?')'?')'?')=== false, '?', '?','?','?','&amp;') . "tempusage=1\">Template Usage</a>) (<a href=\"" . htmlspecialchars_uni(SCRIPTPATH) . iif(strpos(SCRIPTPATH, '?') '?')'?')'?')=== false, '?', '?','?','?','&amp;') . "explain=1\">Explain</a>)<br />\n";
$debughtml .= "<select>\n\t<option>(Page Generated in $totaltime Seconds)</option>\n$messages</select>\n";

It just happens like that. Even though I didn't edit it.

So I deleted the new randomly generated section and the whole board works fine again but I cannot access the journals, it says I do not have the permisson to do so. Is this stemming from the abovementioned problem or is it something completely different?

you should not have to remove other code. for your second problem, please set permissions before using;)

[Ryan Ashbrook]

Sorry about that. I never realised I had to edit the permissions as well. Though it was kind of weird; there where lots of buttons but no text beside them, but I just put them all to yes till I can sort that out.

Also I still cannot get the functions php to work with causing an error.

[YLP1]

I figured out how to fix the phrases issue (c/p the phrase fix code).

Thanks anyway.

[TwinsForMe]

Can someone point me to a fix for a blank "Journal Index" please? I'm running 3.0.7

[Oblivion Knight]

Can someone point me to a fix for a blank "Journal Index" please? I'm running 3.0.7Don't take this the wrong way, but you have added the templates - right? ;)

[TwinsForMe]

Lol. Yes. :D

But you know, I labed "JOURNAL" as "Journal"

That's probably it.

* TwinsForMe goes to make a change

ETA: That was it. Thanks for the kick in the right direction.

[TwinsForMe]

* TwinsForMe clicks install

:)

[spaghie]

I'm installing and I get this error:

Database error in vBulletin 3.0.7:

Invalid SQL: ALTER TABLE user ADD canhavejournal tinyint(4) DEFAULT '1' NOT NULL mysql error: Duplicate column name 'canhavejournal'

mysql error number: 1060

What do I do to fix this?
Thanks.

[Royalridge]

"Duplicate column name" would indicate that this part of the install procedure has already been done. Suggest doing an un-install and trying again.

[Paul M]

"Duplicate column name" would indicate that this part of the install procedure has already been done. Suggest doing an un-install and trying again.or you have another journal system installed that happens to use the same column name.

[scabbed]

thx for that, i have just do it :)

[zetetic]

This is a temporary fix, but it's better than adding loads of queries!
Wow, that fix made my queries drop from 35 to 16!

Here's hoping there's a more efficient way to add that menu item...

[YLP1]

When I grow up, I want to be just as smart as Oblivion Knight is with PHP and VB...;)

[Lionel]

where does it take the journal id in postbit? it is showing all users with no journals because there are no id even for those who have a journal

[Oblivion Knight]

where does it take the journal id in postbit? it is showing all users with no journals because there are no id even for those who have a journalWhoops! My bad.. :nervous:

I'll try and come up with a solution shortly.. There's got to be a better way than adding so many queries.

------------------------------------------------------------------

Ok, here it is.. The fix that will only show the menu item if the user has a journal, and grab the journal_id correctly with no additional queries added to your showthread.php page..

If you haven't already, remove this code from the includes/functions_showthread.php file:
$journal= $DB_site->query_first("SELECT journal_id,journaldesc FROM ".TABLE_PREFIX."journals
WHERE journalist_id='".$post[userid]."'
");
if(empty($journal[journal_id]))
{
$show[journal]="false";
}
else
{
$show[journal]="true";
if(strlen($journal[journaldesc])>150)
{
$journal[journaldesc]= "".substr($journal[journaldesc], 0, 150)."...";
}
}Now undo the changes that we made to the postbit(_legacy) and journal_journalpage templates earlier.. If you didn't use the previous fix, you obviously don't need to do this.


Now in the postbit(_legacy) template, find:
<if condition="$show[journal]=='true'">
<tr>
<td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="journal.php?do=showjournal&j=$journal[journal_id]" title="$journal[journaldesc]">Visit $post[musername]'s Journal</a></td>
</tr>
</if>Replace it with:
<if condition="$post['journal_id']">
<tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="journal.php?$session[sessionurl]do=showjournal&j=$post[journal_id]" title="$journal[journaldesc]">Visit $post[musername]'s Journal</a></td></tr>
</if>
Now open the showthread.php file, find (1st instance of):
user.*, userfield.*, usertextfield.*,On the same line next to it, add:
journal.journal_id,Find (in the same query):
LEFT JOIN " . TABLE_PREFIX . "usertextfield AS usertextfield ON(usertextfield.userid = user.userid)Below it add:
LEFT JOIN " . TABLE_PREFIX . "journals AS journal ON(journal.journalist_id = user.userid)
You should be set to go.! Please note that this fix is for the linear display mode only.. :ninja:

[Nordinho]

Jeek...that saves a whole lot of queries...thanks a lot for the fix!!

[Lionel]

Thanks Oblivion

[msimplay]

* msimplay joins the crew thanks Oblivion :D

[zetetic]

Now undo the changes that we made to the postbit(_legacy) and journal_journalpage templates earlier.. If you didn't use the previous fix, you obviously don't need to do this.
Hmm... I don't remember exactly what the changes were and you've edited that post. :ermm:

[Oblivion Knight]

Hmm... I don't remember exactly what the changes were and you've edited that post. :ermm:The journal_journalpage template edit added an if condition below $navbar, and closed it above $footer. The postbit(_legacy) template edit removed the if condition from the menu item.

[zetetic]

The journal_journalpage template edit added an if condition below $navbar, and closed it above $footer. The postbit(_legacy) template edit removed the if condition from the menu item.
Okay thanks. And thanks for this fix. :)

[YLP1]

I'm confused.....should the changes to the journal_jounalpage.php from yesterday stay the same with the new changes? If not, what changes are needed for this page?

Thanks in advance.

[YLP1]

I have another issue with the journal entry dates....how would I cause the most recent entry of the journal to appear first (reverse the order of entries)?

Thanks in advance...this is driving me nuts.

[Oblivion Knight]

I'm confused.....should the changes to the journal_jounalpage.php from yesterday stay the same with the new changes? If not, what changes are needed for this page?

Thanks in advance.Remove the changes that were made to the journal_journalpage template, they're no longer needed..


I have another issue with the journal entry dates....how would I cause the most recent entry of the journal to appear first (reverse the order of entries)?

Thanks in advance...this is driving me nuts.In the journal.php file, search for:
$fentries = $DB_site->query("
In this query, find:
ORDER BY entrydate ASCReplace it with:
ORDER BY entrydate DESCYou're done.. The entry # will be incorrect, but since there's a bug with this in vBJournal 1.0.0 anyway it's not worth reversing. AN-net has said that he's fixed it in 2.0.0 (and I've fixed it on my customised version).

[YLP1]

You are a stinker Oblivion...... You removed the code that was originally used on the journal_jounalpage.php LOL

I thought I was going nuts and spent the last 30 minutes mowing through all the posts...

So, uh...what code do I need to remove???
;)

Edited: Nevermind....I found a copy in my Clipmate...I love that copy/paste archive program....

[GrusPer]

This version is already updated?

<if condition="$post['journal_id']">
<tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="journal.php?$session[sessionurl]do=showjournal&j=$post[journal_id]" title="$journal[journaldesc]">Visit $post[musername]'s Journal</a></td></tr>
</if>
Oblivion, the title tag is not displaying. But it's ok. If you are fixing, instead of journaldesc, I'd rather have the journal name. So it looks like:

<a href="journal.php?$session[sessionurl]do=showjournal&j=$post[journal_id]" title="$journal[journaldesc]">My Blog: $post[journal]</a>

[Oblivion Knight]

I completely ignored the title attribute of the tag.. :p

It's easy enough to fix it, just add journal.journaldesc, on the end of the line where you added journal.journal_id, in the showthread.php file and change title="$journal[journaldesc]" to title="$post[journaldesc]" in the posbit(_legacy) template.

[PixelFx]

I was thinking of installing this on my production forum I have 6500+ members. Is there anything I should know before installing this and is it stable, or should I wait for a new release?

[Paul M]

It's reasonably stable. :)

[Oblivion Knight]

I was thinking of installing this on my production forum I have 6500+ members. Is there anything I should know before installing this and is it stable, or should I wait for a new release?There are a couple of bugs with the current version, but nothing major..

If you're users are wanting a journal system, install it now - if they know nothing about it and you've just come up with the idea to install it, i'd wait for the next version.

[TRStealth]

Will this work for 3.0.7?

Any ETA on a new version ?

[Cloud-Warrior]

I've made some changes to the RSS 1.0 export. If you use this, I'd recommend you upgrade (fixed some problems with XML encoding).

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=564200&postcount=384


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.

[Oblivion Knight]

Any ETA on a new version ?I don't know, I'll have to talk to AN-net and see where things stand..

As it is, he's been working on the official 2.0.0 vBJournal release while I've been bugfixing, adding features to and re-designing his 1.0.0 release and badged it as vBlog (currently on 1.0.1b).

[PixelFx]

any way to test it? I haven't talked about running it for my members yet, but the site is on the up swing with 11 million page hits in the last 33 days .. so its something I'd like to offer my contributing members ..

[jungleb0y]

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?

Here's what I did because I had the same need as you.. I also vB Journal as well as Geek Article System and only wanted select users to post in either the Journal the Article or both so I created 3 separate usergroups and gave each one write access to the area I wanted them to be able to post in.

Worked good for me and was the easiest solution in my eyes.

[Pseudomizer]

Will this work for 3.0.7?

Hello,

i just tried this "old" hack with VBulletin 3.0.7.

Here is my feedback if anyone is interested:

The installation is not nice. It takes about 30 Minutes if you are experienced with VBulletin and Hack installations.

3 or 4 File edits/replacements will not work and you have know PHP, MySQL to do the appropriate changes and compare line by line to fix these issues. The same for the applet modifications.

After having done all this I still have one error on the member.php where it calls an undefined function. I will look into this later.

In the ACP the phrases in the usergroup manager do not work on a german board. They are just blank. Only the hardcoded text will be shown. I think some phrases are missing here. The good thing is that the variable names tell you what the option does.

But this hacks works despite of the issues above with 3.0.7.

Now I have some questions: This hack is very old and I have seen the list of future additions.

- Will there be any update to this hack?
- Why is the hack authors page down? ( suspended page: Bandwidth Limit Exceeded ???)
- Will the new version include an installer ( just for the templates would be enough in addition to the existing DB query installer )

And now the most important question for me:
Will the new version allow to moderate ( edit / delete ) specific comments/entries? Without this functionality this hack is useless for me. I do not want to delete all comments from a journal due to one bad entry. PMA is also not an option here. Admins and Journal Authors should have this option.

I hope that I get some answers to my questions because this hack is very powerful and should get updates.

Cheers,

Pseudomizer ... AN-net has moved his site (http://www.animationtalk.com/).

That's the only question you asked that I can answer.

[Oblivion Knight]

With the broken phrases, you need to rebuild the language.

Edit any phrase through the Admin CP and click on "Save", this will fix the issue in the Usergroup Settings with the blank phrases. My importer mod can be used to automatically install the vBJournal 1.0.0 templates, simply enter this url in your browser: http://www.yoursite.com/forums/admincp/jimport?do=stepnine

The hack is being updated as we speak.. ;) - As for working on 3.0.7, it worked perfectly ok for me.

Thank you. It works. What is the use of Can report entries?

[Oblivion Knight]

Thank you. It works. What is the use of Can report entries?Nothing, as the feature isn't enabled with vBJournal 1.0.0 - it probably needs more development.

Hi,

will there be any updates to this in the near future or not?

If not I will modify the code by my own to fit my needs. I do not want to spend time on this and then a new versions comes out. There is no need to redevelop the wheel. :ninja:

Upload your backup .. you DID make a backup !?
If not .. upload your original from your Vbulletin package and then you'll have to add all the hack's which added to the admincp.

[Nick0r]

I don't suppose anyone has made a mod to have at the bottom of forumhome, Posts, Threads, Blog entries, Members?

[Nick0r]

Another great addition I've just thought of. You can add RSS feeds (of peoples blogs/journals), preferably ones that show the full post and add it into vbjournal which will add in their daily entry...

[Kyderoy]

In the admin CP I cannot see all the options... I have attached an image so you can see what I am talking about. What do I need to do to fix that?http://www.nastech.net/rio9/Journal.JPG

Kyderoy, a fix for your problem was posted in the last page.. ;)

Thank you sir :)

Surely there should be a note of this fix in the install instructions - it crops up time and time again .....

One last question... How do I add the journal link to the navbar of my other skins? For some reason I can't seem to have my hack applied to the other skins automaticaly.

Ok I jsut converted Rygels version to this and alot of our users have loads of entrys.

The problem is if I click someone with over 500 entrys it takes about 2 minutes for the page to load. Something is obviously not right anyone got any ideas I've quoted the querie that seems to be causing the problem

User with 500 entrys...
105.45921612 seconds (0.26% PHP - 99.74% MySQL) with 17 queriesWorking from memory as I don't have access atm, I don't think there are any indexes on any of the journal tables - I would guess from this that some are required.

[Ghostsuit]

Yup looks like that was the problem.

I added an Index to journal_entries for journal_id
and
Two indexes to journal_comments one for journal_id and one for entry_id.

Hey, I have a question. I have just installed it and it seems like it works, though I can't do anything with the journal. When I got to the link it says that my account doesn't have permission even though I am the admin. Any thoughts. Also, I have three templates in stalled on my forum. How could i edit and move the templates without having to do it manually.

Installed and working well, had to fix the permissions issue but that was it. I also intergrated it with PhotoPost so users can select photos in their member gallery and post them in their journal :D

Request
How can I add the latest journal entries to a NON VB page and also on my forums home page?

Thank you

[rookiyong]

1st thanks to AN-net for this great hack, I installed and its working fine but I have a question here,

I set default usergroup permissions for Registered Users "not to have journal", and than goes to the per user setting and set "can have journal", the user ends up not having a journal.

So this happen for me:

User permission / Usergroup permission : No / No = No
User permission / Usergroup permission : Yes / No = No
User permission / Usergroup permission : Yes / Yes = Yes

Basically what I want to provide is that registered users will not have a journal by default, but only when given the rights individually by the Admin.

How do you guys tackle this? Sorry if it has been answered before, but I cant find the answer :p

[jungleb0y]

Can you explain what you did to integrate it with PhotoPost.. Maybe a link to your site?

Hi guys.....

I have tried everything to get rid of this error:

PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_PRIVATE, expecting ']' in dmyISP\lpsforum\journal.php(819) : eval()'d code on line 69

I have uninstalled and reinstalled after redownloaded a clean mod packet and I cannot get around the above error.

It appears to only occur when clicking Go to Journal.

I have searched on PHP site for how to hunt down this error but I don't know much about PHP and couldn't find the answer.

Can someone point me in the direction to fix this?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

[Paul M]

What is line 819 in journal.php ?

[womensden]

ok, I did all steps and it's not showing. I have it active and still nothing. When I type in the URL to get to it, I get a permission error. ? I'm running 3.007. Can anyone help?

[womensden]

nevermind, I got it all figured out.

This doesn't add a link to the forums, does it?

[Paul M]

This doesn't add a link to the forums, does it?
You add a link to it yourself on the navbar. There are also links in the usercp and user profile if you do the template changes.

[T3MEDIA]

This is more a template thing... can some one be ever so kind to make my layout like this?

never mind the color scheme and all that. Just an area for the blog and on the side an area for the google ads?

Ever so thankful.

Hi Paul M

I attached my Journal page because what appears to be line 819 to me could be something else based on monitor rez.

I uninstalled and reinstalled for the third time and I am still getting this error...not to mention that the journal entries from members is now gone (I saved the old db before reinstalling, is there a way for me to copy over the journal entries from my backup db to the current one so my members can have their entries back?)
Thanks in advance for any help on the above...I am fairly new to PHP and vb.

[AN-net]

ylp 819 is a free result which should not cause an error, have you modified the file?

[Paul M]

Hi Paul M

I attached my Journal page because what appears to be line 819 to me could be something else based on monitor rez.Line 819 in that file is this ;

$jbuddies= explode(' ', $jpermissions['jbuddylist']);Which makes no sense as far as that error is concerned - are you sure this is the actual journal.php you are using ?

[AN-net]

he most have added something cause that is not line 819 in my default file on my comp>_>

Hey AN-net or ANYONE that knows... is there a way or workaround to have at least admins be able to delete comments?
I have on user that posted into his own comments. I cant even delete it.

Thanks to anyone that helps.

[Paul M]

Admins can delete comments on my system - do you have the correct permissions set ?

[YLP1]

Line 819 in that file is this ;

$jbuddies= explode(' ', $jpermissions['jbuddylist']);Which makes no sense as far as that error is concerned - are you sure this is the actual journal.php you are using ?


This journal is the exact journal file from a fresh download of the mod. The only alteration was the delete user avatar fix.

Edited to add:

I just compared the journal.php from a current mod d/l against what I had on the server.

There are many differences between the two. I have no idea what version the the journal.php I was using but for some reason the fresh upload of the journal.php didn't take.

I have uploaded for sure the latest avialable journal.php and am checking to see if I get the same line errors.

I still have the problem of putting back the journal data from backup in to the current db.

I swear I have a thousand gray hairs over this error and now compounded by the uninstall and reinstall and losing the journal data from current db.

I can tell ya that we women don't like gray hair!!!! LOL LOL

I will test and see if the error occurs again. Any quick and easy way to put my journal data back into the db?

Thanks in advance.

is it possible to get an update for the journal system for v3.0.7 or is it stable enough to install as is? I've been wanting to put this on my production forum but wonder how stable this is with the version number saying 3.0.3 ...

[Paul M]

It works but there is no way to delete comments.I'm curious, how many times do you need telling that an administrator can delete comments before it actually sinks in ?

I guess when it actually works.

I guess when it actually works.It works fine as you have previously been told a number of times - are you actually an administrator on your site (as your primary usergroup) ?

Thanks for Reply Paul ..

ok for the most part got this working on 3.0.7

question: I'm having a brain fart, what do I need to add to show whos online when someone is viewing the journal system on my site, rather than it giving an ugly url..?

I think I may have found what is causing this error. BUT I am not that familiar with PHP or VB so I have to rely on you php/vb gurus to help a girl out on this.

After many hours or researching the error code and all vb sites this is what I found:

In showthead.php the journal code looks like below. However, this is something that I did not add so I am thinking the install script installed this??? The journal instructions indicate that this:
should be added to the memberlist.php which I did do.

Notice the word "journal" that was added (again by the Install script as I did not add this to my showthread.php file)


LEFT JOIN " . TABLE_PREFIX . "journals AS journal ON(journal.journalist_id = user.userid)

The instructions for the Journal say to add the below code to the Memberlist.php file:

LEFT JOIN " . TABLE_PREFIX . "journals AS journals ON(journals.journalist_id=user.userid)

Notice that the word "journal" in this code is journals (plural).

Since I am very new to PHP and VB, is this plural word of journal causing the error as indicated above?

If it isn't that ...can someone help me fix this error as I have tried everything.

U have attached my showthread file (I hope this is ok to do) in hopes that someone can help me fix this issue.

Thanks in advance.
Robin

[Paul M]

The install script does not (cannot) make file edits, you must have. I suggest you re-edit it to what the instructions say. :)

DOH! You are so right!! What was I thinking LOL LOL

Though I still don't know how that bugger got edited....I removed the coding from the php file and so far so good....no errors.

Now I just have to figure out how to move the journal records from my backup db to the current one because when I uninstalled an reinstalled it wiped out the journal entrys.

[Ladybugs487]

Looks like a great hack, however, one question before i install it. Is it possible for only some people to do journals and not others. Like if i have a certain group of people who have access to the journals and then everyone else is just a normal member? Thanks

Hi all,

the journal on my site is flying along so much thanks to all involved.

I had a request the other day to change the default display option to be:

last entry's date / descending

Any advice on how to do this?

Also, is there an RSS or Atom feed?

[Paul M]

I had a request the other day to change the default display option to be:

last entry's date / descending

You have to edit the journal.php file to do this.

Find ;

$sort= "journaldate";
and change it to ;

$sort= "lastentry_date";

Find ;

$order= "ASC";
and change it to ;

$order= "DESC";

There are two instances of each.

:)

[kenwen]

Cheers mate, works perfectly

now have you got any advice on the RSS/atom feed? :)

I've done a search in this thread but the post on it didn't make any sense at all to me.

[Cloud-Warrior]

Yep, for RSS 1 try this post:

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=564200&postcount=384

Edit: Oh, it didn't make sense!

Basically, there's a chunk of code in the journal.php to create .txt and .xml feeds, which are pretty basic and/or not valid. You put in the code from the above post after the xml if block, and make the other changes mentioned to your navbar template. Not sure if this is any clearer but others have installed this so if you reply here hopefully someone (or I) can help.

Firstly I take full responsibility to it not making sense. Stopped following IT and coding a few years back and now the only thing that makes sense is the value of importing Playstation Portables from Japan (use Sharp LCD's apparently, much better quality!)

first q: Where is the XML if block? I can't find it.
second q: I'll try to muddle through the navbar changes but how do my end users get hold of the RSS feed?

[midnightwalker]

how can I edit the date of journal??? It's integer type in my database, not a string type :)

[kenwen]

One more amendment to make...

I'd like to change the display option in the top panel from Latest entries, latest journals, journal links to something else.

The two options right now would be to latest entries, latest comments, latest journals or latest entries, latest comments and journal links.

Any advice on how to do this?

Thanks

[dsboyce8624]

Okay, I installed this yesterday and had the user permissions problem which I fixed, thanks for the hack and the patch.

Now I thought everything was running fine, until I got to this new problem, which I see no fix for.

If I go to Member list, then click on a member name, I get a parse error:

Parse error: parse error in c:\inetpub\wwwroot\forums\member.php on line 536

536 is $templatename = iif($quick, 'memberinfo_quick', 'MEMBERINFO');

This is stock, however I added "$journal= fetch_journal($userid)" above it. If I remove the addition it works.

Any help is appreciated.

See https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?p=567736Is that offer still good on sharing your journal.php?

[Paul M]

Not sure - it's been customised a bit more since November, so it may break another system. I'd have to spend a bit of time comparing it to the current released version, and time is something I'm always short of.

Once again... is there any chance of having the ability for a user opt to have their LiveJournal inserted into VBJournal via LiveJournal's RSS feed?

basically yeah, when oblivion was working with me earlier this year i did some code optimizations but no new features.

[Oblivion Knight]

basically yeah, when oblivion was working with me earlier this year i did some code optimizations but no new features.Speaking of that, do you want me to package up what i've done at Gamers Euphoria for you to take a look at? I was working towards 1.0.2, but haven't had the time to do everything that I wanted to with it and so it has remained at 1.0.1b for a few months now..

Sorry, but I would need details of what you actually think you found/fixed, since my version is edited anyway (I removed many holes, and fixed all the privacy issues long ago).

For some reaon after i start a journal, it still has the "start journal link". Also I get duplicate actions (buttons, commands etc) in my journal part... anyone else get this?

[:Judge:]

I just took out the whole site! Please help :(

What does this mean?

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_STRING in /home/planetqu/public_html/forums/includes/functions.php on line 507

Okay I opened with note pad went to line 507 and just took it out. All is okay now..so far.

[:Judge:]

I got everything done and for the most part looks okay except I tried to access the journal and was told I did not have access. I looked around a bit and went into user groups.

In user groups I found the journal options and they was off but most of the options are missing.

Checkout image to see what I mean.

How or what do I need to check to fix this?

Yes your right and believe it or not this was like one of the first hacks I did not read through the whole thread.

Just goes to show that you must read the entire post for an issue that you may have. People get a little tired of answering the same questions over and over when the answer is already there in your face, just have to look for it. If you are not trying to read the entire thread, much like this one with over 1200 replies then do a search.

I have my AdminCP permissions working now on 3.0.7 and all is well.

Well thanks for broardcasting it to the whole world - TBH, you are not exactly being very helpful here are you ? - now every unsavory person who reads this bloody great message will be looking for exploits. Uninstalling it is not exactly an option so why don't you be a little more helpful and tell us how to fix it, I don't even know what an XSS vulnerability is.

I have to say the same, there are too many people using it to uninstall it... we appreciate the info but a pm might have been more of a option to the people who have clicked install... we need a fix asap...

[Pseudomizer]

Hey guys,

sorry but I do NOT agree with the last 2 postings. VB.org moderators have to warn their members about any possible impact. If this hack has serious problems then I would deinstall it by removing the journal.php file in the first instance.

I have the hack installed as well and the first thing I did was to remove the file.

In addition Kirby is not responsible to provide any fix for this hack. He is just informing you guys. So do not blame him for informing you because next time he will just sit back and relax to see you struggling with your hacked board. I agree with Kirby that if the author does not react on any message he should inform the people by posting into the appropriate thread and not send a PM. Because a PM will not have the same effect like his posting.

If I would be the hack author I would react on the posting rather then on a PM to all users.

Summary: Contact the author to create the pressure to fix the security issue(s) and THANK Kirby for informing us.

Cheers,

[Marco van Herwaarden]

As Kirby already mentioned, the author have been privatly informed about the vulnerabilities in more detail then this public post. He was given time to create a fix without mentioning the risks to public.

Since the risks still exist, it is our duty to inform the users of this hack of the risks. The choice to do this in the public thread was being made since not all that use the hack would have clicked install, and contacting in private would therefor be impossible.

[Paul M]

Since the risks still exist, it is our duty to inform the users of this hack of the risks. The choice to do this in the public thread was being made since not all that use the hack would have clicked install, and contacting in private would therefor be impossible.
Inform the users yes - but broadcasting it to every man and his dog when no sort of fix is available is irresposible as far as I am concerned.

One of the reasons we click on install is to allow updates to be sent, users should have been informed in this manner. If the author is unable / unwilling to fix the issues then another user may have been able, before it was made public. BTW - if people install it and don't click install as requested then that is really their fault, as a hack writer, I have little sympathy for them.

FYI - this is the second time this has been publically posted in this thread, not the first - and as I said last time - I need to know what the actual problems are since we run a "hacked" version of the hack - so just replacing it with whatever the author provides is not feasible anyway.

[Andreas]

@Paul M
Well, if only the users were informed then others (who might not have clicked Install or have not yet installed this) would not know.
And I think it's better to know that there are problems, instead of keeping them secret.
It's the same with for example Browser security issues: Once they are discovered, the developers are being informed.
After a while the information gets made public on Full Disclosure or smth. like this, so users are aware of the problem and can take apropriate action before a patch is available.
If they don't do - it'sd their fault
But leaving them uninformed increases the risk, as users wouldn't even know that there are problems.

[Paul M]

I'm not going to argue about it, you have your opinion, I have mine, clearly they are never going to agree, and since you have now made it public, nothing can be done about it anyway. ;)

Since you are obviously aware of the issues, you can at least help me salvage what I consider a bad situation - please send me details of what you have found so I can check my own hacked version to see if I need to apply any fixes. I am aware of some issues in the original and removed some elements of code relating to them months ago. :)

[dsboyce8624]

I need to know what the actual problems are since we run a "hacked" version of the hack - so just replacing it with whatever the author provides is not feasible anyway.Sadly, the author is not inclined to do so.. He even stated the following in his original post:

Support may be denied if provided files are edited/modified and support may be stopped at any time due to any circumstances.

I too am currently using a "hacked" version of vBJournal. It would be useful if such information about these security issues were provided for us, but from the sound of things - it's is unlikely to happen for the time being..

You do not get the point. This is like:

I know An-net personally, and to the best of my knowledge he thinks he fixed all XSS vunerabilities. Kirby can you PM me and tell me whats wrong so I can tell him personally tomorrow? I know he is busy with his site so that could be the reason for not knowing about any other vunerabilities...

i am sry but personal things have kept me occupied such as my website, school, work, and life its self. i am currently very busy but i will try to find sometime to fix this. i am currently revising the fixes a i posted earlier with a better and more efficient fix. also at PaulM you are always for warned of file modifications and i am not required to provide you with edits if you modified my hack. Try getting a file comparer in the future;)

As long as you are looking into it, and will work on a fix, I think we are all happy. It's just scary to have somebody post a big ugly message about security issues, and have no idea what they are talking about, or how to fix it.

As I said earlier, my users are just figuring out how to use this thing, and they like it.

I'd hate to have to pull it.

That said, thank you for checking into this.

FYI - I have a file compare program, please don't try and be smart, it doesn't suit you. :p

[Colin F]

Paul M,

Thanks for your input.
We know that announcing that a vulnerability exists can cause people to go search for it and try to exploit for it. In this case, the author had been contacted multiple times, but didn't seem willing to fix the script.
After discussing this internally, vBulletin.org staff decided to announce, that there is a vulnerability. We assumed that people using this modification would in the most cases be able to temporarily remove it and announce on their forum that it was removed due to security issues.

Still, I'm sure we will be reviewing our procedure for such cases. If you would like to provide any input, feel free to PM me.

[MajorFm.com]

Ok anyway... i have removed journal.php for the time being, please let us know the fix...

Our journal is actually used by music artists as a diary for the fans, even though its not as busy as some others, its viewed alot...

I know this is a free hack and is a massive one to that is very helpful, we do appreciate your time etc... look forward to the fix

Thank you

[AN-net]

you dont have to remove the file just turn it off via admincp, i created a master switch for such reasons.

[AN-net]

please don't try and be smart, it doesn't suit you. :p
woops sorry if my smartness was not part of my brilliant character who created this hack;)

[Paul M]

woops sorry if my smartness was not part of my brilliant character who created this hack;)I'm not sure now is the best time to be boasting about creating it. ;)

Despite the lack of help and/or co-operation from yourself and KirbyDE, I think I have now plugged all the possible SQL injection points and any XSS stuff I could find. It took me about 3 hours. I just have to test it tomorrow to make sure I haven't broken anything. :smoke:

[MajorFm.com]

I have re-uploaded and turn the lights out on it... shout us wen u got a fix...

[Flexo]

I'm not sure now is the best time to be boasting about creating it. ;)

There?s always the best time to boast about creating this hack. This is a great hack.
If you?re so much better at coding, create a better one. There?s no reason for personal insults.

[Paul M]

There?s always the best time to boast about creating this hack. This is a great hack.Have you actually read post #1215 ?

If you?re so much better at coding, create a better one. There?s no reason for personal insults.As it happens I have modified my version to improve on some flaws in the original - though please feel free to point out where I actually said I was "so much better" - while you're at it, perhaps you could point out where the "personal insult" is as well. I fail to see where I have personally insulted anyone.

[Flexo]

I?ve read post 1215. So? It?s a faulty hack, but still a very useful one. vB itself has security issues (why else would we be at version 3.0.7?), does that make it a bad software?

please don't try and be smart, it doesn't suit you.
I call that an insult.

[Paul M]

I?ve read post 1215. So? It?s a faulty hack, but still a very useful one. vB itself has security issues (why else would we be at version 3.0.7?), does that make it a bad software?Correct - it's currently very faulty - to the point where vB recommend you don't use it until fixed - not really a good situation for 500 or so users of it to be in. I am fortunate in that I can fix my version, most people cannot. If you think this makes now a good time to boast about the hack then I guess you are in a different world to me.

I call that an insult.Erm, okay, if you consider that a personal insult then clearly you are on a totally different planet to me.

I see little point to continuing this discussio/argument since it clearly has nothing to do with the Journal, and we obviously have vastly different views of the world - so are never going to agree.

[Andreas]

Could you guys please stop fighting?
That would be nice, thank you :)

Furthermore I have to point out that vB.org staff are not Jelsoft officials!

[Guest190829]

Paul, since you've edited the default journal files(You've stated this more than necessary), you shouldn't even be posting in this thread, as you are flooded the thread with your insults and opinions that aren't needed. Let's leave this for support and constructive critisizm. ;)

An-net already apologized for getting personal issues sorted before a hack, which seems like something every hacker would do here.

[Paul M]

Could you guys please stop fighting?
That would be nice, thank you :)Sorry, but if people post comments in a thread, directed at me, then I will respond to them.

i will be able to fix the vulnerabilities complete this weekend as i took off this entire weekend:)

[dsboyce8624]

Thanks you very much.

[zetetic]

Glad I happened to stumble on this thread tonight, otherwise I apparently never would've known there was a security hole. Whether it was the best idea to announce it publicly or not is one thing, but it would've been nice as someone who has clicked install to get some kind of notification about this.

Good luck with the patching, AN-net. :)

[TruthElixirX]

I will be waiting for the patch. Thank you for updating. It is appreciated. :)

[Andreas]

As it stands, this Hack still has major unfixed security vulnerbilities.
According to our Policy I am closing this Thread now, the ZIP file has been removed to protect new users of this hack.

[Andreas]

All known Security issues have been fixed.
I'd strongly recommend every User to upgrade immediately

[AN-net]

vB Journal 1.0.1
This upgrade fixes all known security holes within the vB Journal software. If you have vB Journal 1.0.0 installed please download the zip labeled Upgrade_vBJournal_v1-0-0_to_v1-0-1 and follow the ReadMe.txt within the zip. New installers/vbjournalers do not worry the vB Journal_1-0-1 zip package is the most recent and contains all current fixes. Thank you all for your patience and I am deeply sorry for security that were once present in my software. I will strive for a quicker and safer vB Journal in version 2.

If any of you are wondering about version 2 i have a progress update. vB Journal 2 will be written in Object Orient Programming(OOP) format. This will make journal more extensible and easier to use. I will post more progress updates as I see fit. There is no release date!!!

EDIT:
I would like to thank KirbyDE for all his help and support throughout the process of patching. He deserves the most thanks from everyone:)
