I am a newbie and havent followed the history of the VB3 Journal hack quest but if he has the hack up on his site (http://www.shinraonline.com/board/journal.php) then why isn't it all set to go?
Any guess as to a release date for a VB3 Journal hack?

History

Prior to that, there were some who attempted to port this also, but decided to keep their progress for their own use.

This seems to be a "big" hack, so no ETA...but still great news that it is being done by some really experienced hackers!

I suppose he didn't document the instructions well then :p Many people tried it but they don't work; also there are many templates which have links pointing to his specific site (like <img src="http://www.shinaraonline.com...etc.etc." />

I still have the old synjournal code laying around, it is something ive worked with off and on but never really preped for release. I've always said that I plan on getting around to finishing it, altho I still don't know if I will ever release it to the public.

When I started work on it, I did plan on releasing it to the public. But an attepmt to get feedback from the community changed that as certain people decided to be very rude and hi-jack my threads.

I'm sorry that happened! I suppose all "public" forums have a few rude rotten apples.

If anyone decides to carry on with porting this hack, I pledge to be their official guard dog, hall moniter & cheerleader all rolled into one!

Best wishes to you.

KuraFire and I are working on the EvB JS (EverythingvB Journal System), hopefully we can get it done soon :)

Just a thought. (I am brain storming - no real idea on how complex or moronic it sounds, but WTH eh ?)

The user notes built into VB3. (Viewed on the profile page) would be easy to convert into a Blog. (Not for me, a coder :nervous: )

Make a mini-portal page to list the member’s personal Blog and other site info :

// this can be placed in the member profile accessed via link or image

$header
$navbar
// on the sides (right and left columns) all users blogs
Top 10,20,30 latest entries.
Top 10,20,30 most accessed by users
Top 10,20,30 most rated (avj. of all user votes 1-5)
// * any other things ..

// center table
$blognav
Your personal Blog
$blogstat – privet and/or public hit counter stats
// *any other things ..

$footer

I'm launching my new site on the 17th (a phpbb community being totally rebuilt on vb3). If your mod could be out by then what a nice bonus for the members that would be. Good luck! I am eagerly awaiting and needing this. If you have paypal I would make a donation! thanks :)

I don't know how viable your idea is, either, "butt, Harry," how else are any hacks conceived? Maybe it is a great idea that some one will pick up on and try. :glasses:

Personally, I looked at this hack and asked if it could be easily modified to work as an "articles" hack and surprise! the author said, yes. And they may work on it for all of us.

Of course, the point of opening this thread again was to seek porting of the original vB2 hack. As I have stated previously, Kurafire and Gary's hack will be a great journal system (no doubt), but all original coding...not based on the previous vB2 hack. I have placed several links to the progress of that hack on evB on these forums. Seek and ye shall find them.

However, the original vB2 hack still is not/has not/will not yet be ported.

Maybe it isn't worth it...I don't know...at least no one seems too keen on attempting it.
