vBJournal for vBulletin 3.5

[TunerNetwork]

Ok, Im getting the following Error:

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_PRIVATE, expecting ']' in /home/tnet/public_html/forum/journal.php(1955) : eval()'d code on line 48

- I am running PHP 5, and I tried to fix it as instructed, but I think im missing something simple

tried posting code, but is too long...

[Pcparts]

Did you triple-check permissions?
Thanks. :o
This was it. I never thought about the permissions.

1 down 1 more to go, now if you could also solve the problem with the admin not being able to view private entries.

[Andreas]

now if you could also solve the problem with the admin not being able to view private entries.
It's not a bug, it's a feature - and as it is this there is no problem.

Private entries should be private for everybody except those explicitly allowed.

TOTALLY agree... :banana: .. We use ours to support our mental health forum and somethings are just not meant to be seen by people. This was a great privacy control and we LOVE it... ;)

[docvader]

Andreas, any way of having a "x New Journal Entries" link in the forumhome template, much like the "New Posts" link that we already have? I'm not quite sure how to code that.

Sometimes it's hard to direct members to the Journal section of the site.

Thanks.

[Pcparts]

thanks for the clarafication. I asked this because previously it used to be a feature thats Admins had absolute rights to view any journal. Which was a useful feature for a site like mine. As we have had some issue's with journals where some moderation was needed, involving some inappropriate material posted in the journals.
In a few incidents people were keeping a whole archive of threads and posts which were removed but they had made copy and posted that in the journals. And then someone else made a screenshot of that material and posted that in the forums.

I think journals privacy is not that same, as PM and email privacy.

One should have the right to see what others are posting in the journals on their site. It's not like Admis go round checking every private journals.

[Pcparts]

I have another problem, now I think this is a bug and not a feature.

When someone tries to comment on a private entry in journals, they get this error message. Eventhough the person is in the journal buddylist.

[cbr929rrerion]

problem, if you do a search for members, it shows the link to the journal but its messed up and it dont put a thing at the top so it throws them all off..

[trackpads]

Any future on allowing attachments in the journals?

Thanks!

Can someone help me figure out why I get the mood image on an entry, but then right next to it is also the name of the mood in text? So, as an example, I get the "aggressive" image, but then the actual word aggressive is right next to it in text.

[cbr929rrerion]

What I get for installing an unsupported hack.... :disappointed:

[ocmca]

I keep gettng

When trying to to veiw the journal index; and
"Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_PRIVATE, expecting ']' in /home/ocmca/public_html/forums/journal.php(978) : eval()'d code on line 48"
when clicking my journal...

Anyone have this problem? When I first installed it I got the error when clicking the journal index, but I was able to go in and ALMOST make a journal entry... but now I can't even get that far....

Help please :(

[sybarites]

ALSO, is there a way to give a usergroup moderator priviledges in Journals (like to delete/edit someone's comments or entries)? If there is, I must be blind because I can't find it.

Ok.. Yea.. So I got impatient.. And looked through the entire thread.. Very painful.. Only to find one suggestion to fix this which was on page 39, post 578

Moonclamp.. Have any issues since doing this???

I had this on a few templates

I fixed it by searching for this

"$journalinfo[private]=='1'"

and replaced it with

"$journalinfo['private']=='1'"

Might not be the right way to do it, but it sorted out the problems

[squawell]

Okies...for those having the same issue...here's the solution:

Open up includes/config.php
Browse to the bottom and set the admin id number to that of your own admin number IF you are NOT number 1...or add number 1 in the missing areas if you are number 1. There are several diff options...do this for them all..
Save and upload...the journal admin appears!

Two days and it was that simple..ugh!

not sure anyone report this problem before...

when edit the entry and keep the original mood's name after edited the post about the
mood's name part double show?anyone know how to correct this?thanks...

Showing Last 5 Journal Entries In Members Profile Instead Of The Last Entry Beta Released

[lazytown]

It would really be nice if journal entries could be given rep. Sometimes they are more valuable than posts and users can't get a reputation boost from them. Comments could also use that as well, although I think that is less important.

Hey guys,
I really need help on this.
I installed vBjournal on 3.0.7. Now, I upgraded my forum to 3.5.4 .. and of course vBjournal doesn't anymore.
I tried the uninstall option in journalinstall.php but it doesn't work and shows:

Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in /home/truong2/public_html/forum/admincp/journalinstall.php on line 440

How can I uninstall the old vBjournal on 3.5.4 ?
Thanks a bunch

[DiscussNASCAR]

I've installed this 2 times w/o problem, but on the third time, it didn't place the vbjournal block in the AdminCP... ie, I can edit any of the settings :(

I've uninstalled and redid it all again, still not there. It worked fine on my other 2 sites though :(

Nice :)
Installed on 3.5.4 and so far working great

[xfaethorx]

trying to install it on 3.5.4, from an upgraded version of 3.08 that had journal on it orignally and now im getting

unknown at Line 0

when i try to import.

could it be the fact i've already got the tables installed form the previous version?

FIXED

xml file was f**ked

[xfaethorx]

as I stated in my earlier post i've upgraded from a previous version of vbjournal so the database was alreasdy there with comments etc in.

I've rebuilt the site on this database moving up to 3.5.4 and this version of the vbjournal. Unfortuantely i've found that my private comments are now all public and when i come to set them to private again in the editor on saving the pages i'm treated to a white page. In fact this is a genreal editing problem i just can't edit a comment event though i turned the option on in the usergroups.

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

ONCE AGAIN ignore me...

i had old templates in my style from 3.0.X and had to revert them to the default ones, the new ones that were installed. All is well now

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

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

I have searched this thread but can't seem to find anyone with this problem.

I'm on 3.5.4, and on the Journal Index, under 'Welcome to ...', it doesn't display any of the latest entries and latest journals. It's just blank. I was running the Journal on 3.0.7 earlier, so this is obviously an update for me as I switched to 3.5.4. Any ideas on what I can do to display latest entries?

Is that a no-go for this mod?

[Logician]

I found an error with the journal when you set you SET your journal to "private" and then goto journal menu (journal.php) and click on any of your journal entry... it will provide this error:


Warning: Wrong parameter count for explode() in /home/xxxxxx/public_html/forum/journal.php on line 1449


Anyone else get this same error and if so, how do we fix this? This error only occurs if you set journal to 'private' and have either yourself or someone else view your journal entry.
Fix for this:

Edit journal.php, find:

$jwcv = explode($entry['jwcv']);

replace it as:


$jwcv = explode(',', $entry['jwcv']);


Ps. I don't have a subscription to this thread, so if you address me here, I can't see.

[dilbert]

I Searched for this but didn't find it. I just installed and when I create a new journal I get this message:

Invalid Journal specified. If you followed a valid link, please notify the administrator.

Then if I go back to the journal page the link for New Journal now says My Journal, and I get the same error.

Did I install incorrectly?

Doh - nevermind. I had it set to moderate, I approved it and it's there now.

Hi,
one question: is there a possibility to use categories for the journals?

[cbr929rrerion]

I would like an area that has the usernames of latest journal entries and when you click that it takes you to their journal, I would like it to be in the "Whats Going On" section of forum home.

Does anyone have this or can they make it.

That way Journals will get read more...

I inspired by Cloud Warrior (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=834305&postcount=743), I decided it was time to get the latest blog entries on the rest of my site. After an hour of playing around, I have some working code. This code is NOT COMPLETE! You need to manually put in the RDF header information in the code. Please don't try to use it if you aren't comfortable playing with PHP code. If someone wants to fix it up and repost it with an explanation that a noobie could follow, by all means go ahead. My brain is about to quit for the day so I'm not quite up to it.

Added the following section of code to the journal.php file causes journal.php?do=rss will pull the latest entries in RDF format.

// RSS SUPPORT

if($_REQUEST['do']=='rss')
{
$vbulletin->input->clean_array_gpc('r', array(

Is there anyway to allow users to feed their LiveJournal into vbJournal (via RSS?)? I notice AN-Net had mention of it sometime in 2005 but it seems to have faded away and can't determine whether this version has this option?

this version does not, however on the vB Journal Development RoadMap i do plan to have at some point interaction with API's of popular journal and blogging systems.

[Morrighan256]

Okay, been through 25 pages of this thread and didn't see my particular issue, so here goes.

I downloaded this hack, unzipped it, and uploaded the files through my FTP first. Then I installed the product through my AdminCP. Then I went into my templates and made all the changes, copy/pasting so I didn't miss anything. I set the permissions, and checked the vbJournal settings under that menu.

I created my journal, but for some reason, whenever I click "Go to My Journal" through my UserCP, I get a blank white screen.

http://www.cipher-wotr.com/forum/journal.php?do=showjournal&j=1

That's the addy of the page. Same thing when I go through the Navbar.

I uninstalled. Reinstalled. Checked the templates. Set the permissions. Completely deleted everything and did it all over again. Still the same error. My site is:

http://www.cipher-wotr.com/forum/index.php

I'm running vBulletin 3.5.4, MySQL 4.1.11, PHPMyAdmin 2.6.2. And as an addendum, the things I've done above are the extent of my knowledge. I know enough about HTML to copy/paste where I'm told, and that's it. :disappointed: Any help would be greatly appreciated.

[PixelFx]

any chance of getting info on what I need to do to fix bbcode in threads in the journal? its really the any error I've found, .. when installing it. I'm on vb3.5.4 / apache 2.0 / mysql 4.1.18, php 4.4.2 .. if that helps.

Will your version be compatabile with the Myspace Profile Re-Write PRO! 1.0.0 (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=109094) mod? The reason why I ask is because the vBJournal hack is required.

i would assume so...if the guy lists it. personally, i did not develop this particular version. Andreas ported with his own code so i can not vouch for this hack or any other hack. i am just wanting people to know that vB Journal is still continuing and will soon be on the 3.5 platform.

Okay a couple weeks ago I upgraded to 3.5.4 and it told me to update the navbar postbit or something like that. Since then the Journal link on the navbar is gone. I have tried reinstalling the xml file but it does nothing.

What are the common / funky moods that othe people are adding to their installs of vbJournal? (I've not used Myspace before so don't know what they use / what users might be familiar with).

Guys is there anyway to set Journal to show up on the frontpage CMPS?

[jndeakin]

Got this working pretty well, and asked one of our journal-users for their opinion on our test forum. One thing which concerned them was the option for people to download other people's journals. I can't see any way of switching that off. Is there one?

The search facility works, but doesn't actually jump to the entry it found, just the head of the page. Is that an error on my part, or just how it works?

The previous journal wasn't vBjournal, so it's taking a bit of playing with the database to get it working :)

Thanks for writing it in the first place, and thanks for any help!

I've looked through the entire thread to sort different issues on our server, but that comes up several times I think. On the lines where it occurs you need to put single quotes around the word 'private' which is between the square bracket. Hope that helps you :)

Lots of things are repeatedly asked. (are there screenshots, when's the next version, does it work with vBxxx/MySQLyyyy/PHPzzzz etc.) Maybe a FAQ in the download, or on that large download/description header?
Incidentally, there wouldn't be 75 pages, if the download details weren't repeated on every page. Are there many people wouldn't have the sense to go to the beginning of a thread for a download?

I feel stupid - I installed the journal, everything seemed to go ok, but everone get the "you do not have permission to access this page" I have been all over the usergroup manager and can find nothing about journal permissions - help!!

[Neo_obs]

rebuild bit fields?

I have a question if i check the box to make it private and the ones to have my friends view it do I have to put all my friends names in the text box below? or is that just for names not on ur buddy list?

[my3shadows]

I have another problem, now I think this is a bug and not a feature.

When someone tries to comment on a private entry in journals, they get this error message. Eventhough the person is in the journal buddylist.

I am having this problem too and do not know if it is an actual bug or if I'm just not getting the permissions right somewhere. I have comments turned on, but there doesn't seem to be anywhere to distinguish between comments on public entries vs comments on private entries. I, as the administrator CAN comment on private entries, but when I log on as a regular member, I cannot...even though that username has been added as a journal buddy and can view the private entry.

I've looked through the bug tracker and haven't seen anything pertaining to this, but I wanted to ask here first in case I'm just doing something wrong.

hello, i have a question, maybe someone can help me. I would like to know how to do like this hack

View the source of the page and do a ctrl+f for the name... you must be using firefox and its showing the alt text in place of it. Your paths are likely incorrect.

There is a shiney piece of text in your left nav in the admincp that is called Usergroups.

In the bottom of this is another shiney button called Administrator Permissions, click this button and notice the additional VB Journal radio option , select yes.. apply and viola.

If you're an admin and can view it but cannot as a user, go back into Usergroups, edit the usergroup that is having issues viewing journal.php on the site, scroll to the bottom edit as desired.

I tried to send this private message to Andreas (author of this hack) but got an error that his mailbox was full. So maybe he is offline for a while...

Hi Andreas,

What's happening with vbJournal? Are you still supporting it? There are folks having trouble with it that are posting on your hack thread and not getting any response.

I wanted to install this, but I can't if there is no support. I was looking for a blog/article system where the main author's posts stay on the primary thread and discussion happens on another thread (or some how separate but associated.)

[veedee]

Hi there, would anyone be kind enough to post an example of this? I have a board with over 27k users and I think this might be the answer to many 'asks' for blogging capability.

Thanks.

[CocteauBoy]

Hi everyone!

Thanks for this AMAZING, wonderful hack, first of all!

Next, I just did an upgrade from 1.0.1 to 1.0.2 and NOT until after doing so did I see the fine print in the history list to instruct me to run a QUERY before uploading the xml. I don't know if that is what caused my problem, but...

Everything seems to be fine, but I did lose ALL "last" and "latest" entries from my journals and there seems to be no tracking of the new entries.

Is there a quick and easy fix for this?

Thank you so much! Otherwise, the installation is running perfectly!

troy

[CocteauBoy]

Since this is not easy to find in the search, and it is not in the documentation, someone should clearly state that an unistall of the product.xml does destroy and delete all of your journals.

My users are devestated.

I had uninstalled and reinstalled the product because it is not installing/upgrading properly. The LAST ENTRY, LATEST ENTRY, and LATEST JOURNALS are not pulling into the journal index page. I lost everything.

I don't know what to do, but do not make the mistake of uninstalling the product if you do not want to lose your journals.

troy

[jndeakin]

Others have got caught by that too Troy, but all Andrew has said is that an uninstall can be expected to remove all traces of the program. I disagree strongly! An unistall should only remove tables if they're empty!
Have you a recent backup? It should be possible to recover the journal tables and merge them back into your database.

Has anyone gotten this to work with PHP5 and SQL 4.1+?

i have it working on php 5.1.2 and mysql 5

What problems are you having

[gibhut]

if YOU have a problem with it.. I might could help you. i fixed it up myself and added some stuff like Blog Subscriptions and a main blog control panel and such.. Hit me up

[bchertov]

Hey folks,

I am very interested in using this hack, however I am very concerned that it doesn't appear as if it is being supported and there are a number of people who are having problems:disappointed: (as well as people who are not having problems:D ).

So I'd love to hear any experiences you've had with it, along with how it has been received on your board (especially any comments that have not already been expressed on this thread.)

Also can someone post a link to their board where it has been successfully implemented and is getting used well?

Feel free to PM me.

Thanks!
Barry

[Taipa]

I'm having a problem where the BBCode simply doesn't work.

I've got the "Parse BB Code" option set to "Yes" (and it's staying at Yes, so it's not that weird un-selecting problem some people are having).
But BB Code simply doesn't work, it just displays the BBCode tags instead of actually making things italic, or bold, or linked or whatever.

I haven't the faintest idea what could fix that...

[Taipa]

I haven't the faintest idea what could fix that...

Well, now I do.

If I turn on Smilies, the BBCode works. If I turn the Smilies off, the BBCode is also turned off.

Is this a bug, or just a weird feature? The two don't seem related to me.

Hey, I had this installed for a short period, but while my site is still small, i found noone took an interest to it. I also had a problem with the whole buddies thing that comes with it. I could only set it so everyone could see what someone had posted. or noone could.
I have now uninstalled it, waiting for my forum to grow and for a better one to be released. It also doesnt look terribly attractive.

so there...

Thanks Murty! Anybody else? How about from someone using it?

[gibhut]

We use it..

100,000 Users and it runs fine

had to work out some kinks in it..

[bchertov]

had to work out some kinks in it..Can you share the fixes with us, or least give us an idea off how much work it took to get it working?

BTW, interesting site! :cool:

[jndeakin]

Looking at fixes. We found that owners looking at their own journal was effecting the view count, so we edited journal.php

We found the line:
$db->query_write("UPDATE " . TABLE_PREFIX . "journals SET journalviews=journalviews+1 WHERE journal_id='".intval($j)."'");

and added this line:
if ($vbulletin->userinfo['userid']!=$journalinfo['journalist_id'])
just before it:


Jim Deakin

[rob30UK]

Can users style their own blog yet?

[Tulsa]

My site uses it on an infrequent basis. A handful of users really like it. For the most part it runs pretty good.

Now today I kicked my system up to php5 and this hack puked all over itself.

[guwebby]

We use it..

100,000 Users and it runs fine

Im interested in you're version, especially if it solves the problem of not allowing Admins to set the permissions in the ACP.

Also I checked out the profiles on your site, and I was wanting the same thing done to the one Im on, which bussy list do you use to display the pictures on the profile and what hack does the comments?

[gibhut]

We wrote out own buddy list (relational) and not storing it in one field anymore.

and we wrote our own comment system,

what is showing on the profile is just a simple script to grab the top 8 (the user sets them)

[jndeakin]

Well, now I do.

If I turn on Smilies, the BBCode works. If I turn the Smilies off, the BBCode is also turned off.

Is this a bug, or just a weird feature? The two don't seem related to me.

Similarly, To get my smilies to workI had to enable [img] !

ditto to your question!

Jim Deakin

[guwebby]

ooo, are you able to share the buddy list and comments cause I could really use those and a journal that works too :)

[veedee]

Can anyone post a link to an example on their site please?

Thanks.

[Oblivion Knight]

I'll try and take a look at some of the compatability issues with 3.5.4 late tomorrow..

No promises though.

[gibhut]

hmm so NO questions about this ?

[TRR]

I am attempting to d/l the zip file, but it is corrupted. Is this on my end?

[Snake]

Yeah you do that man. And I thought the Final version will be released by the end of 2006? :p

[kall]

Yeah you do that man. And I thought the Final version will be released by the end of 2006? :p
He still has 6 months till the end of 2006. :p

[Snake]

Whoops I was going to say 2005 but whatever.

Knight, this is the greatest hack ever, believe me when I say that. I just can't wait to get my hands on the final version. Everyone has been waiting for months now so I think it's the time to work on it, ya?

[Oblivion Knight]

Yeah you do that man. And I thought the Final version will be released by the end of 2006? :pIt's not my release.. I just contributed toward the layout and added a couple of features. ;)


Knight, this is the greatest hack ever, believe me when I say that. I just can't wait to get my hands on the final version. Everyone has been waiting for months now so I think it's the time to work on it, ya?You and me both.!

I kinda gave up and figured I'd wait for An-net's "official" vBJournal 3.5.x release.

[AWS]

I have it running with 3.5.4.

[dimopoulos]

I seem to have a small problem with the journal mod.

It was working fine a week or so ago. Then we moved servers on a dedicated box. After that it stopped working as expected. I get an error:


Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_PRIVATE, expecting ']' in /.../forums/journal.php(1593) : eval()'d code on line 61


The only thing I can think of that changed was the encoding on mysql and the fact that we are using now MySQL 4.1 and PHP 5.

I looked in the code and it seems to be the line where you post what mood you are in. I managed to remove that line from one or two of the templates but on the others it still happens....

Has anyone seen this before? If not I can report it as a bug.

[Oblivion Knight]

@dimopoulos:
Known Issues
It is not recommended to use mySQL 4.1+
Beta 1 does not work properly with PHP 5. Problems are to be expected if you try to run this Hack with PHP 5.

[gibhut]

What template is being pulled in on line 1593.

open that template and show me line 61 and i can show you how to fix it..

If you get errors.. Ask me

[guwebby]

do you use 3.5.4 gibhut?

if you do how did you get it to save the Administrator Permissions for the Journal? thats my problem with it, it wont save the setting to yes so I can adminster it

[cmrplusradio]

Firstly, this is my first post and install, it exactly what i was looking for!

I have installed and it all looks fine, but how do i allow users to edit thier journals, i have logged in under a normal user and cannot access the journals section, i dont have the right permissions, how do i allow users and my admistrstor acount to add journal entries - as you can tell i am new to vbulletin!

Also is thier a way to change all referneced to "Journal" to "Blog"?

Any help would be great. E-Mail me @ info@afhwebsitedesign.co.uk if you can help.

Alex

[Tulsa]

Go into each user group from your admincp and you'll see the journal section where you can choose what you like for each.

[Craigex]

Why doesn't journal.php work?

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_PRIVATE, expecting ']' in /home/admin/public_html/journal.php(564) : eval()'d code on line 188

I get that!

[Tulsa]

Are you using php5 too?

[gibhut]

ok quick explain ,
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_PRIVATE, expecting ']' in /home/mysite/public_html/forums/journal.php(564) : eval()'d code on line 188

means line 564 of journal.php is calling a template.. on line 188 of that template is where the error is..

so tulsa look on line 564 of journal and tell me the template it is calling

and same goes for your Craigex

[Sarthek]

Can somebody share a live demo of this please.

Also, last update on this hack was on 17. Nov 2005. Is this correct?
Is this still up-to-date?

[Dan]

Yes this hack should still be working with the latest versions of vBulletin, best way to find out is to install it and find out.

[Tulsa]

so tulsa look on line 564 of journal and tell me the template it is calling

and same goes for your Craigex

Line 564 of the journal.php does not look like it's calling for a template to me.

Line 564: 'sort' => TYPE_NOHTML

However I was able to find what was that error on line 188 of the journal template. Removing one of the </if>'s caused it to save just fine. Not sure if it's going to work but vbulletin seemed to like it better. This was the line in the journal template.

<div class="smallfont">$vbphrase[your_current_journal_status_is]: <if condition="$bbuserinfo[private]=='1'"><b><font color="red">$vbphrase[private]</font></b><else /><if condition="$bbuserinfo[private]==''"><b><font color="orange">$vbphrase[non_existent]</font></b><else /><b><font color="green">$vbphrase[public]</font></b></if></if></div></td>


So I'm down to that last error and it's located in the journal_journalpage template. It's line 48 and I can't find what's wrong with this one.

<b>$vbphrase[status]</b>: <if condition="$journalinfo[private]=='1'"><b><font color="red">$vbphrase[private]</font></b><else /><b><font color="green">$vbphrase[public]</font></b></if>

[moonclamp]

Has anyone else here upgraded to internet explorer 7 beta?

I did this and all the journal entries now get underlined when a mouse is hovered over them ... kinda weird.

[gibhut]

Change $journalinfo[private] to $journalinfo['private'] and $bbuserinfo[private] to $bbuserinfo['private'] That should fix it

Unfortunately that change did not fix it. :confused:

I think I have it?? If you remove the " " from $bbuserinfo[private]==1 (journal.php) and from $journalinfo[private]==1 (journal_journalpage) they save in vbulletin. Now I've not run them through tests yet but they did pass the vbulletin check on them and seem to be working on my site. Under php5.

[Neo_Angelo]

when i post a journel entry it shows up but my message is gone, when i click edit there is no message even though i typed on in.

[iamnofear]

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_PRIVATE, expecting ']' in /home/thucnghi/public_html/forum/journal.php(564) : eval()'d code on line 188

How can i fix it ?

[Tulsa]

You can do what I did. It's not a fix, it's a band-aid for making this work with php5 at least for my site.

[myridespace]

im sorry for not looking through all 83 pages but i need help. i thought i did everything as instructed but when i click on journals off my forum page it directs me to a webpage and say it cant locate the page. what i do wrong? www.myridespace.net, try it and u will see what i mean, thanks for any help you can give

[Tulsa]

Did you upload the journal.php file to your forums root directory? That's what it can't find.

[myridespace]

alright now it says i dont have permission, now what?

[Tulsa]

You have to go into each of the usergroups in your admincp and give them all access as you see fit.

[myridespace]

i have changed somethings, but i dont see nething that is related to the journals, any ideas?

[Tulsa]

This is what you should see in each of your usergroups.

[myridespace]

ok so i dont have that, so what i screw up?

[myridespace]

i am still trying to get the hang of uploading the files, can u go over where everything needs to be uploaded, i think that where i went wrong

[Tulsa]

The only thing I can suggest to you is start over, and follow the instructions very closely.

In the zip file, the journal.php goes into your root directory

The journaladmin.php goes in your forums/admincp directory

The bitfield_journalhack.xml and the cpnav_journalhack.xml go in your forums/includes/xml directory

The image files upload to the same image named directory as they are stored in the zip file.

[myridespace]

tulsa, thanks for the late nite help, it works now, i uploaded incorrectly, thanks agian

I assume I have 1.0.2 Alpha 1 installed (that's what it says at the top of my readme file).

What is the recommended route to upgrade from 1.0.2 Alpha 1 to 1.0.2 Beta 1?

[Sarthek]

I am somehow not satisfied with this journal. Modern blogs have calendar in members blogs, custom link menu, custom layouts (colors, themes) and more.

Where is all this?

[version2]

I am somehow not satisfied with this journal. Modern blogs have calendar in members blogs, custom link menu, custom layouts (colors, themes) and more.

Where is all this?
Well, I have always been of the mind that beggars can't be choosers. We are not paying so...we really can't complain. That said, I would love to see the journal become more of a blog system so my users would use it more especially since I use it offer it as a premium service for those that help support the site.

Anyway, still think its a great hack and when I have the time I wouldn't mind lending a hand and hacking it up a bit and adding some addons. But, it will be a while. I have been going through a messy divorce and my life has been shit for years.

Not anymore though!

[Halarkin]

I'd really really love it if the SQL queries in this hack were cleaned up. I have a very high-traffic site and some of my members have 50, 100, 400 journal entries. For some reason, the larger their journal, the heavier the queries, and this mod is really taxing the server.

Please clean it up.

[Franky45]

Hello.

Is this mod really stable? And works it with vbseo?

Sorry for my english.:surprised:

[Sarthek]

Well, I have always been of the mind that beggars can't be choosers. We are not paying so...we really can't complain.

This words are exactely, which I got from free forum developers, when I asked when some bugs will be fixed.

I soon after realized I need to move to paied forum (vB) to have full suport and out of the box product.

So, I wouldn't mind to pay for blog software, as our portal is sort of income, I just hate to wait.

[louis_chypher]

A little "you" fun with the journal.

First credit goes to where credit is due (you know who you are)

Adding the [you] tag to the journal:

in Journal.php find:


$bbcode_parser =& new vB_BbCodeParser($vbulletin, fetch_tag_list());
$text= $bbcode_parser->do_parse($entry['entrytext'], 0, $setting['allow_imgcode'], $setting['allow_smilies'], $setting['allow_bbcode']);


insert under

$text=str_replace('[you]', $vbulletin->userinfo['username, $text);


find:

$bbcode_parser =& new vB_BbCodeParser($vbulletin, fetch_tag_list());
$entry['entrytext']= $bbcode_parser->do_parse($entry['entrytext'], 0, $setting['allow_imgcode'], $setting['allow_smilies'], $setting['allow_bbcode']);


insert under

$entry['entrytext']=str_replace('[you]', $vbulletin->userinfo['username'], $entry['entrytext']);


"..take the [you] code and replace it with the user's name who is veiwing the thread.."

see: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?p=1000099#post1000099 for the details

Oh, I also got the [hide] hack, its not all prettied up yet but my users love being able to hide their je's from a user group, to work in with the journal as well.

[newbe_haselina]

I sorry bothering you with this stuff, but I'm creeping throw this thread since more than a hour and I don't have any idea how to "install" the mood-sql zip (page 3). I'm sorry to say that I'm not very experienced with databases. Can anybody please advise?

Thanks a lot in advance,

Hi guys,

I’ve some problem running 1.0.2 Alpha 3 with vbulletin 3.5.0 and MySQL 3.23.58 (Andreas helped us installing 1.0.2 Alpha 3)

I’m receiving continuous warnig messages like this in my php error log
Warning: mysql_free_result(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result <therootofmyforum>/includes/class_core.php on line 744
Date: Wednesday 07th of June 2006 09:15:20 PM
Username: <username>
IP Address: <userip>
After dealing for long time with this, I found that this warning occurs when anyone enters at any journal page

Did you notice any similar problem and how to solve it?. I did some searches at this tread but didn’t find any similar issue

I’m receiving at least 5 warnings per minute like this, and it obviously ends collapsing my server

Thanks in advance
