vB Journal for vBulletin 3.0.3(v1.0.1)

[AN-net]

Im now getting

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting T_VARIABLE or '$' in /home/lxbjkoq/public_html/forum/journal.php on line 867

Fixed, sorry my bad:D

just redownload the zip;)

[CrazyLady]

Upgraded to v.1.0.1 done. Question: What kind of security holes were there and should I be concerned if someone already found them without my knowledge?

Thanks for the fix!!

[Cole2026]

Fixed, sorry my bad:D

Well, glad the 3.0.x version is back, hoping for a 3.5 version soon. :ermm:

[silurius]

My install went fine and I can see vB Journal on my forums page, but the last step (#9) directs me to a setting I can't find. Where do I "turn on vB Journal" in the AdminCP?

the file you ran covered those entries/comments/journals that may have been affected by the security holes

in the settings for vb journal there is an on and off switch for vbjournal if you turned it off just turn it back on. before i patched i warned everyone to turn off vbjournal via the switch. also in the instructions i said to turn off vbjournal.

dont expect one till after 3.5 gold

[Brolly]

Just ran a clean install, and it says I don't have permission to view any of the Journal pages, any ideas?

Everything else seems to be perfectly normal.

Okay, I see where I missed a step. Thank you for the reply. What would you recommend I do at this point?

[Jaxx]

Thank you. :)

Went smoothly.

logon to the admincp

Could be one of 2 things..


1. Make sure your Journal System is Active.
2. Check your usergroup permission of each group..

[AN-net]

Okay, I see where I missed a step. Thank you for the reply. What would you recommend I do at this point?
it doesnt really matter, its not a very significant step but just a precaution incase a user may of submitted something that could throw off the upgrade while in the process of upgrading but your upgrade turned out fine. it was merely a precaution:)

[zetetic]

I just upgraded and all apostrophes are showing up slashed. Problem with the new journal.php or something I might've done?

[Paul M]

Journalfix.php seems to add slashes to all journal names, descriptions, entry/comment titles etc.

[zetetic]

Hmm... and none of those things have slashes now on my site. Only the entry and comment bodies.

[Guest190829]

Do you have magic quotes enabled on your server?

[zetetic]

Yep.

[AN-net]

hmmm i will look into this...

edit:
can someone post a raw output of what a journal name/entry title looks like in the database after journalfix.php was ran.

[zetetic]

Hmm... I'm not sure exactly what you're asking for, but after comparing the new journal.php against the old I found this:
$entry['entrytext']= parse_bbcode2($entry['entrytext'], 0, $setting['allow_imgcode'], $setting['allow_smilies'], $setting['allow_bbcode']);

And added this after:

$entry['entrytext']= unhtmlspecialchars(stripslashes($entry['entrytext']));
$entry['entrytitle']= stripslashes($entry['entrytitle']);

And that seems to have fixed my problem (for the entries, anyway).

that leaves you vulnerable via journal entry text. i mean can someone go into phpmyadmin and just give what is in the title for a journal entry that is having the slash problem.

[Guest190829]

Is it really a security issue, since it's being pulled from the database not inserted? Just as long as your adding slashes when you insert the entries in the database it shouldn't be a problem, right?

[zetetic]

i mean can someone go into phpmyadmin and just give what is in the title for a journal entry that is having the slash problem.
Oh, well I was only having a problem with entries and comments. I don't have a slash problem with titles. :ermm:

[dsboyce8624]

So does the fix work, or is it not fixed? :laugh:

I can't tell from these last few posts.

[T3MEDIA]

I have the geek's thumbnail photo inserter thinige and it works like a charm.
Any photos I have in my photo g. I can load up click and it is inserted.

it works fromt the smilies on the wysiwyg. Has anyone tried to do this with the journals?

I dont need the whole edit box. (it would be nice. Spell check would show up too since I have that installed)

But I really would like to set it up. I know this site will not go 3.5 at all since there isnt a need to do so. (horward forums is a good example of not upgrading) so any help would be nice.

Please do not pass over the thread if you have some information on how to do it. I would like to know.

Thanks again.

[GraphicW]

Yes, the fix works. Installed it without a hitch.

[AN-net]

Oh, well I was only having a problem with entries and comments. I don't have a slash problem with titles. :ermm:
can you please post an entry or comment with the problem that is directly from the database(phpmyadmin).

edit:
is this just new entries/comments or both old & new?

[zetetic]

Paul: I don't really know. :ermm: I haven't really had a chance to look closely at what's going on here, I just did the upgrade last night and then quickly tried to fix the broken slashes showing up in entries and comments. Not really knowing what the vulnerabilities were that inspired the changes in the first place, I'm having a hard time figuring out how to fix the fix.

An-Net: This is what the entrytext from the journal_entries table looks like for a pre-upgrade entry:

This journal is going to be news-specific. I\'m interested in understanding the world. A grandiose goal, yes, but at least the world is finite. It\'s a come-down from my adolescent desire to achieve Godlike knowledge.

So to give you an idea of what I\'ll be blogging about for you to judge whether you might be interested in reading it, I will be posting and writing about current events, perhaps illuminated by my meager reading of history. I\'m quite interested in politics, as well as social issues; I like to keep up with major scientific events. I\'ll probably never post anything about sports.

And this is the entrytext from a brand new entry:

This is a test entry, created just now and usin' apostrophes in various random places, just so I can figure out what is and isn't working here.

[dsboyce8624]

Okay, fix installed, seems okay.

Thanks AN-net.

One question from my members, any way to reverse the display order so the newest entries are first?

ill look at this when i get home from work 2night. is it just affecting new entries or old ones as well?

[PING1434a]

Ok, did a search on this thread with no luck, My settings are not saving? What's causing that? I went back and checked the file mods, it's all there. Also I'm missing the phrases for the settings?

Edit:
Ok, i got the phrases, it was missing, just one for odd reason, can_report_entries, added it and it works now.

Settings still not saving.

Edit:
Ok got the savings working, but "Time(in seconds) Between Journal Entries,Comments, and Reportings:" still dosn't save

[Otikeu]

well, I here you'll try a v2 later on.

i am very interested in this mod, but the interface is one I do not favor. maybe something more of a blog look would help for new comers and also just a better feel of the whole system.

I love your features, just the interface drives me away ... I was checking and actually, one site I see has a cool interface. This was actually a vB2 one that was converted to a wBB board.

I attached images of the more simple Journal, but I don't like the whole "simple" thing ... I like your features, this is just a suggested user interface that seems blog-ish.

this is JUST a suggestion of a interface IDEA. Take it or not, just here to help is all.

[Icehawk002]

Just installed the latest vb journal and appears to work just fine except to problems which may not be directly to do with the journal mod.

I have also installed the vbadvanced CPMS module and the journal menu item on the index portal page 'fails' i.e. object not found

Also on the index portal page the View Journals on the left side bar fails.

Any suggestions


Aha found a solution

http://www.vbadvanced.com/forum/showthread.php?t=4842&highlight=journal

[Paul M]

That link requires you to be a member of vbadvanced :)

I would guess it tells you to add journal.php to the CMPS list of file names to be prefixed by the forum url (in the navbar).

[zetetic]

Only the old ones, apparently.

[crossvegas]

Hi, I just installed the script, and everything is working great, except for one little problem. After the install, I clicked on user cp to send a private message to someone.

To save myself the problem of explaining this weird problem, I made a test account for you guys to login and see for yourself.

login: test pass: test

Go click on the user cp and see the display problem I am referring to.

Thanks a million in advance to anyone who cares :)

I use the vBPager Hack. Now when my users send a page there is a \ before each ' in the text, so "it's" comes as "it\'s"

Not sure if this is related, but it started after the upgrade was applied.

this is a simplified version of whos online for journal but i never released due to some conflictions with variables. my planned version was for an exact location of what journal and where.

also to answer ur question about an editor, this wont be available till version 2.

on the topic of version 2 I have successfully ported the main journal page over to OOP. the new functions an very extendable which will make taking information, counts, and other things from vbjournal and use them else where by simply including the vbjournal class file:)

is there any way to add mass amounts of moods?

[xfaethorx]

i've knocked up an away to allow users to delete their own comments and i'm currently testing it on my board. I've needed it because of a vicious flame war thats been going on and because our admins have their own lives its taking a while before we can get round to delete entries.

Its a really quick change and i'm not the greatest at hack mods so i could be a sack of cack but it seems to work well atm. Once I'm happy with it if anyones interested i'll post it up. If you want PM me and i'll send you what i did but as i say it might not be the greatest of solutions.

[Beth]

Thanks for the hack. I've installed... and read all the 89 pages :D

So far, nothing is wrong. If i come across anything, i'll be back!

[f-a_org]

Does anyone think they can help me install this on my forums ?

[AN-net]

It seems that it is having trouble parsing ASCII (is that the right word?..formatting maybe?). To quote one of my members:

Every time I input some specific symbols and hit the "Update Entry" button, some of the symbols change the way I don`t want them. Some I have problems with:
& ---changes to &amp;
> ---changes to &gt;
" ---changes to &quot;
< ---changes to &lt;
they do not revert back when shown?

[jilly]

Is there a way that I can give an individual user the option to turn comments on or off at their whim? Right now, it's just a global yes/no comments for everyone, correct?

[AN-net]

yes turning comments on and if is global currently. in version 2 i will make so journalist's have more options and control over their over journal.

[xfaethorx]

ok, i've tested this on 2 forums and it seems to work . Heres some changes you might consider making to allow users to delete comments placed in their journals.

Have a look it might help, they work for me on my sites and have got rid of journal flame wars.

back your code and tempaltes up first so if it doesn't work you can go back!

good luck

Any updates for 3.50?

[AN-net]

Any updates for 3.50?
you wont see a 3.5 probably till end of this year maybe being of next. most likely version 2 will be for 3.5 and 3.0.x but version 1 will not be available for 3.5.

[Chadi]

Ok, will the current version work with 3.50 by any chance or not? It would kill if it doesn't

[ChristianA]

I am glad that there will be a version for 3.5. My users really appriciate it.

[AN-net]

Ok, will the current version work with 3.50 by any chance or not? It would kill if it doesn't
it will not because all the variables have been changed.

[applehat]

then change the variables :(

[AN-net]

i will not port this code over to 3.5, i may port vbj 1.5/OOPed over since it will be easier but only if i see a large demand.

[Paul M]

What is vbj 1.5 ?

[bleodler]

I would very much like to see 1.5 for vb3.5 if it isn't too much trouble. It's one of the last hacks I'm waiting on before upgrading.

[Gutspiller]

r u using the file system or database to hold to custom avatars

Currently i am using the file system

yeah im planning to fix this in version 2:)

So is there a fix for this and if NOT then how do we remove the avatar image code and the box that is there to hold it?

If somebody can help me ASAP I would really appreciate it. A great mod, but seems to be lacking in polish.

[ged]

Does it work under VB 3.5.0?

you can remove the avatar box by editing the journal_showjournal template i believe:)

[AN-net]

Does it work under VB 3.5.0?
this will not work under 3.5 as i have stated above due to the core rewrite of vbulletin 3.5 from vbulletin 3.0.x. meaning all the variables/functions have changed.

[AN-net]

What is vbj 1.5 ?
it is an ooped version of vb journal with several bug fixes and upgrades. most likely once i finish this i could easily port to 3.5 for use. also 1.5 will allow me quickly move into 2.0 because of the extendability and ease of use 1.5 will have.

[ged]

Is there a deadline? :)

[AN-net]

i have decided to give no deadlines for future releases sorry:)

[MotoUp]

I'm trying to uninstall the journal because no one on my board uses it. But when I uninstall, I get forum errors and my site won't load. What do I need to do to completely get rid of it? I re-uploaded all the original files, so the file edits are no longer there, and I ran the install and chose uninstall. What else do I need to do?

[Paul M]

What errors ?

[MotoUp]

Sorry for the inconvenience, I reinstalled, and uninstalled, and it's fine now. Thanks.

[Gio~Logist]

I noticed if i create a private journal, logged in members cannot see journal OR entries (like its suppose to be), however, guests can see the journal (it just wont list the entries) and if they click the "latest entry" link in someone's profile, they can see the entry. KEEP IN MIND EVERYTHING (JOURNAL AND ENTRY) WAS PRIVATE AND I MADE SURE!

[Guest190829]

Did you log out and check this yourself? It could be them on the page, getting an error page. If you did, that's a pretty big privacy issue.

[Gio~Logist]

Actually yes i did log out. I know the privacy functions well when you're logged in because i logged into my test account, however, when you're not logged in, you can still see the journal (just without the entries). You can also see the entries individually! When you are logged in and you're not a buddy or an admin however, the privacy is fine and you cannot see either or.

[Guest190829]

Do you have the hack installed on your board? If you could PM me the url, I'd like to look at it. Maybe I can supply a quick patch.

[Gio~Logist]

<font color="red">*PM'ed you*</font>

[Gutspiller]

How do I reverse the entries so that the newest entry is on top instead of appearing at the bottom?

[csidlernet]

nice preety cool!

[FASherman]

Bad decision.

This isn't compelling enough for me to stay on 3.0.8. There are ways to create blogs using nothing but vBulletin. And with the "Split Forumhome Into Several Pages" hack, I can give the blogs their own home page too.

Bad decision.

This isn't compelling enough for me to stay on 3.0.8. There are ways to create blogs using nothing but vBulletin. And with the "Split Forumhome Into Several Pages" hack, I can give the blogs their own home page too.


So then you have absolutely no reason to stay with vb3.0.8. According to you, you can make the hack yourself. Why even waste your time POSTING here? AN-Net has alot on his hands at the moment. I'm sure we all know what it feels like, the last thing he wants to worry about right now is re-coding a hack for vb3.5. So why don't you simple APPRECIATE what he has ALREADY given you, and ANTICIPATE what he WILL be giving you?

I think An-net just simply messed up an if statement, I'm too lazy too install atm to test it though. :/

[AN-net]

I noticed if i create a private journal, logged in members cannot see journal OR entries (like its suppose to be), however, guests can see the journal (it just wont list the entries) and if they click the "latest entry" link in someone's profile, they can see the entry. KEEP IN MIND EVERYTHING (JOURNAL AND ENTRY) WAS PRIVATE AND I MADE SURE!
ooo my bad, ill look into that this week:)

these arent blogs and secondly this my hack and its freeware. i will develop how i want when i want. i am sorry i can not appease to your needs to upgrade to an unstable software version. hope version 2 will appease you once it is ready for 3.5 post gold.

[pablo]

I am wondering what people are going to do when the upgrade to v3.5 any ideas anyone ?

This isnt the thread to ask that... but... i don't plan on upgrading till vb4

With the new version of the Journal coming out next year (not before the end of this year, which generally means next year ;) ) this is indeed a problem.
I?m looking into multi user blogs, but we?re probably going to have to programm our own blogs from scratch in order to update to vB 3.5.

Umm when do you plan on fixing the bug AN?

[AN-net]

I am trying to find time for it

[Jaxx]

huh?

What I meant was when a user makes a new journal entry, it would then post a msg in a specified forum that so and so has added a new journal entry. For example:

I make a new journal and the system would then create a thread in forum titled Journals titled: Jaxx has a new journal entry for date 8/13/2005.

When clicked on, it would have a msg in it saying:

To view this entry, click here.

I thought I had seen this before. But i'm not quite sure.

I know about the cmps and front page block for journals, but I do have people that still say they don't kno wwhen others post one because they're to lazy to actually scroll down the page to the bottom. :p

A progress update on vB Journal 1.5:
As you may already know the main index page is already done. Showjournal is 95% complete, which fixes entry counting and some privacy issues. Shownetry is currently being worked on and is about 50% done. There is still more pages to go but I thought I would update you guys on my progress.

It seems like this Hack has a major Performance Issue:
It executes 1 additional Query for every Post in a Thread.

KEEP IN MIND EVERYTHING (JOURNAL AND ENTRY) WAS PRIVATE AND I MADE SURE!

Around line 1146 of journal.php
FIND

if(($bbuserinfo['usergroupid']==6) OR ($bbuserinfo['userid']==$entry['journalist_id']) OR (in_array($bbuserinfo['userid'], array($entry['jwcv']))))


REPLACE that with

if(($bbuserinfo['usergroupid']==6) OR ($bbuserinfo['userid']==$entry['journalist_id']) OR ($bbuserinfo['userid'] AND in_array($bbuserinfo['userid'], array($entry['jwcv']))))


This should fix the Problem.

Yes. I might be wrong with my assumption that it does add the Queries, but I don't think so.

Query-Less approach:
Modify the $posts/$cacheposts Queries in showthread.php to join the journals table.

[Gio~Logist]

Translation?

[Andreas]

Ja. Kann sein dass ich mich mit der Annahme get?uscht habe dass f?r jeden Beitrag in einem Thread ein zus?tzlicher Query ausgef?hrt wird, glaube ich aber eigentlich nicht.

Idee das ohne Queries zu realisieren:
Die $posts/$cacheposts Queries in showthread.php dahingehend ab?ndern dass ein JOIN auf Tabelle journals durchgef?hrt wird.

If that is what you wanted ;)

[Gio~Logist]

ROTFL!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Translation= A language in which someone with only html and very little php knowledge, can understand.

Hence, a language alot unlike the one previously used.

[Guest190829]

I think he's saying a better solution would be to join the journal query with another query. Specifically the $posts/$cacheposts queries. Therefore, elimanating the issue of executing 1 additional Query for every Post in a Thread.

<sarcasm>
That helps
</sarcasm>

I understand that you guys are trying to help but i don't exactly know hwo to join queries....

[Andreas]

OK ;)

Replace the Code added in functions_showthread.php with

if ($post['journal_id'])
{
$show['journal'] = true;
$journal['journal_id'] =& $post['journal_id'];
$journal['journaldesc'] = fetch_trimmed_title($post['journaldesc'], 150);
}
else
{
$show['journal'] = false;
}


In showthread.php locate the $posts/$cacheposts Queries.
Add journals.journal_ad, journals.journaldesc to the List of selected Fields.
Add

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

to their Joins.

Done.

But as said: No guarantee that my assumption is right; can't test it as I don't have a vB 3.0.X Board with this Hack installed available at the moment to test it.
But from looking at the Code it seems so

[Gio~Logist]

Thanks, i will also try this ASAP....

oh yeah i forgot to change that code for 1.0.1 >_< yeah someone mentioned it awhile ago and I completely forgot about the issue of that edit. will change that for 1.5:)

the deletion of comments is not available in this version of vB Journal but is planned for future versions.

Is this going to be available for VB 3.5?

a 1.5 version of this hack is in development for 3.0.x and then will be ported over to 3.5. vB Journal 1.5 is a significant overhaul of the existing code and includes numerous fixes and optimizations. If you are looking for a somewhat stable version of this hack for 3.5, try locating KirbyDe's beta thread for vB Journal 1.0.1 for vB 3.5.

[AN-net]

Another 1.5 update:
Showentry is complete which now includes recent comments on the entry you are looking at under it. Also several possible mistakes for unapproved entries were fixed for journal and entry insertions. also the vbulletin standard editor has been successfully intergrated into the start journal and new entry pages. another neat feature is that the last entry column on the journal homepage is now dynamic so only people who are susposed to see that last entry can if its private. if they can not see it, the will 'Private' replace the entry's title and links to the entry removed, only the date and time for the entry will be viewable.

I hope this is exciting to some because its exciting to meh:)

[Beng Yeow]

Hi AN-net, I am setting this for a new board set up that I have done, I have not created any additional forums, what are the permissions that needs to be set?

Hi, I just installed this and everything seems to be ok on 3.0.8.

There are a couple of minor issues I'm having...

I encountered the issue with the usergroup phrases not showing up, searched this thread, and found a fix. However, how come 4 of those options in usergroup.php are unavailable because of "//"? I got rid of the "//" so that I could access those options in the usergroup settings, but when I tried to edit them, I got an SQL error. Is this because they are features that aren't yet implemented?

Another problem, which may well be related, is when I hover over the IP icon of the user who has posted an entry, and the IP doesn't display, the ALT text is just "Ip: " - maybe all these problems have something to do with an admin permission in one of the files?

Otherwise, great job! I just want to get these minor problems ironed out :)

ok lets take the first minor bug:D
the "//" in usergroup.php should stay there as though features have yet to be implemented and probably will be used in 2.0 of this hack

the other one I am not sure of, if you could access phpmyadmin and then look at the entries within the journal_entries table. there look for the ip field, if its empty that means the ip was never saved to the database. also can you see the ip's the journalist started with to create the journal?

[Andreas]

Replacing all instances of $REMOTE_ADDR with IPADDRESS should fix the IP-Problem - for new entries.
For old entries it won't show up simply because it's not there :)

First off, huge thanks for making such a cool add on available freely. Community is loving it. I do have one question however (probably a stupid one at that =P).

I'd like to do one of two things with my setup. Little background info: We're currently alpha testing a game, and the way we'd like our testers to "leak" certain info to the public, is by keeping a journal.

The issue is, the community is built up of around 500 users. Only 15 of those are alpha testers. We'd like to have to approve the alpha usergroup's journals before going live (in case of them including sensitive info in their entry). But not the other people's. This is relatively small issue/inconvenience if not possible. It just means we'll have to hit approve often when we dont care what the regular users say in their entries.

The second being, my forum moderators and game moderators are built up of different sets of people. I'd like the game moderators to approve journals before going live. Is there a way i can make a usergroup for them and have them approve, rather than the default moderator usergroup?.

Thanks in advance to any insight you or anyone else may be able to give. Appreciate all the hard work you've so obviously put into this Anthony.

Hi,

Question; you say that this new v1.5 release will be ported later to 3.5. Is this done by Kirby or is this an unofficial port? And if I were to use kirby's port, would I be able to upgrade to the official 1.5 release later without problems? i.e. does he use the same table names, etc...

well i gave him permission to port it so i do not if thats considered official but i will not give support for his port(meaning i will not be answering support questions for his port cause i barely know 3.5 yet>_<). however it seems he is not going change much from the original so the upgrade script that comes with 1.5 for 3.5 should work. just so you know his port is based upon 1.0.1 and not 1.5. when he does release it i will have to see if anything drastic has changed that could conflict with 1.5.

well thank you for the compliments. now to your predicament. currently as you already know you can only moderate entries in bulk, well for version 2 i will be adding journal moderators and many more usergroup and settings options. i hope those 2 features cover everything and i am sorry they are not available currently or in the 1.5 release.

Security Update:

The following XSS Vulnerability was found by KirbyDE on 09/22/05.

The zip has been updated with the patched journal.php file.

For those who rather do a manual update simply open journal.php in your favorite text editor and find:

$reccom['coment_text']= htmlspecialchars_uni($reccom['comment_text']);


Replace that line with:

$reccom['comment_text']= htmlspecialchars_uni($reccom['comment_text']);


Sry for the security hole but even typos can do the darndest things.

If you then try to add a second comment, you get a VB error screen which is blank.

after that going back to the comment page and adding again works, but it seems you only get this error when you try to add a second comment immediatly after the first.

thanks

there should be a error message there telling you to wait X seconds before posting another comment.

i am using the journal system for my browsergame for soocer clubs and if the manager changes, also the owner of the journal should be changeable.

So how about a possibility to change the owner? ^^ :)

currently i do not see a big demand for a such feature, so saidly the answer is no.

Hey!

Does anyone know if this hack is easy to carry over to 3.5.0?

cheers!

---time passes---

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


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.Did you ever find out how to fix that? I do not see a post where you stated you did. (Or anyone else) if so please post

its been ported by my good friend kirbyDE

[skydancer]

Thanks AN-net!

Funny enough, after failing on installing this, we tried exactly that hack!

I was hesitant to use that one, because I had already written an importer for the Antonbomb22 journals from our old journals script and I was devastated to see that 3.5.0 came out :D

Then I found out that the 3.5.0 hack was based on Antonbomb22 and used (almost exactly) the same database layout, which saved me a LOT of work recreating an importer!

Kudos for the developers and maintainers of this hack!

Is anyone aware that *if* you have a direct link to a private journal entry a GUEST can actually read the entry. I have folks ready to call lawyers on each other right now because of this:

http://www.mysticwicks.com/journal.php?do=showentry&e=895

That's a private entry. Logged in users get a no permission, but guests get the full view.

Oh, and that is the latest software, too. Even though it says 1.0.0.

[AN-net]

i will be releasing 1.5 within a few days which fixes many issues with 1.0.x

This is a pretty big issue, man. I had to shut my journals down. I am upgrading to 3.5 tomorrow anyway so I will probably just have to lose the journals.

I know. I found that. I am just worried that there will be holes in that one, too. I guess I will just have to get off my lazy ass and actually fix something! =)

I thought, 1.5 would work with vB3.5 too?

not as of yet, i am going to release on 3.0.x until gold. when i know there is no problem with the actual core of vB Journal i will port it to 3.5 for beta

[T3MEDIA]

Hi -

I added RSS 1.0 (RDF) functionality to my install of vB Journal. Basically, you have to change "SELECT journalist" to "SELECT journalist,journalname,journaldesc" in the downloadjournal section of journal.php, make sure your Unregistered usergroup can view journals in the Admin CP, and paste this code in journal.php after the XML download part:Parse error: parse error, unexpected $ in /var/www/html/forums/journal.php on line 1978

Little help in placement.

There are no known issues with the port - at least not known to me.

Hi.

My vbjournal has been working fine, but now I get error when trying to view my journal or other peoples journals. I can view the journal main page, but thats it.

This is the error:

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_PRIVATE, expecting ']' in /var/www/html/dinklikk/journal.php(821) : eval()'d code on line 69

[AN-net]

did u edit any templates or files?

[cecdah]

did u edit any templates or files?
I might have, because I resently added vbchat, I dont know if thats the reason for the malfunction.

I think I found one template thats corrupted, can anyone paste the template journal_journalpage here so I can try to correct it?

[cecdah]

When I try to save the template I get the following error:
The following error occurred when attempting to evaluate this template:

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_PRIVATE, expecting ']' in /var/www/html/dinklikk/includes/adminfunctions_template.php(3055) : eval()'d code on line 69

This is likely caused by a malformed conditional statement. It is highly recommended that you fix this error before continuing, but you may continue as-is if you wish.

[cecdah]

Never mind pasting the template, I found it in the install.txt- :)

It did not work however, and my users are missing their blog/journal. :(

[cecdah]

I have linked my problem to the new server because it uses php5.

The line that is stated to be wrong is this:

if($permissions['journalpermissions'] & CANVIEWJOURNAL)

How to write this so that php5 will accept it?

[cecdah]

I used the journalinstall.php and selected uninstall and everything seemed to go fine, but now my whole forum is down. :devious:

this is not coded for php 5 nor is vbulletin coded for php 5.

vB works fine on a PHP5 server.

well jelsoft does not officially support nor endorse the use of vbulletin on php 5 last i knew of.

For some reason, when I click "edit entry" and edit an entry, upon clicking "save" - the edited entry goes completely blank.

I have three separate issues (I am running 3.5.1):

1) I have a broken image on the Add Entry page.

2) If you leave the subject line blank and click "Add Entry", you get an error that I assume should say something along the lines of can't leave the subject line blank (LOL) but it doesn't say anything.

3) Only a few smilies show on the page, then the link where it should say "more smilies" just appears like this: []

See attachments.

Please help!

P.S. The Add Entry functions fine as long as you enter the subject, but I'd like to get these fixed :) THANK YOU!
