I have changed the template edit to place the Latest Blog box below the what's going on box instead. Try applying the template edit again, be sure to note the new location in the instructions.

That's done the trick! :) In fact I might move it above the 'What's Going On' box, as it works well there too.

Glad it's working for you. Yeah, this way it can be placed above or below much easier. Please remember to click install if you use it. :)

I applied the new template edit and reimported the product, but now (for me) the "Views" and "Date" columns are missing information. Also, is there a way to put a border within the table and change the color of the table to one that matches the rest of the default style's colors?

I've just done very little modification to phrased the code. Thanks, it'a nice hack :)

Code:

<!-- Latest Blogs -->

<table class="tborder" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" border="0" width="100%" align="center">

<thead>

        <tr>

                <td class="tcat" colspan="4">

                        <a style="float:$stylevar[right]" href="#top" onclick="return toggle_collapse('latest_blogs')"><img id="collapseimg_latest_blogs" src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/collapse_tcat$vbcollapse[collapseimg_latest_blogs].gif" alt="" border="0" /></a>

      <a href="blog.php">$vbphrase[latestblogs]</a>

                </td>

        </tr>

</thead>

<tbody id="collapseobj_latest_blogs" style="$vbcollapse[collapseobj_latest_blogs]">

        <tr>

                <td class="thead">$vbphrase[author]</td>

                <td class="thead">$vbphrase[title]</td>

                <td class="thead">$vbphrase[views]</td>

                <td class="thead">$vbphrase[date]</td>

        </tr>

        <tr>

                <td class="smallfont"">$spitblogs_username</td>

                <td class="smallfont">$spitblogs_title</td>

                <td class="smallfont">$spitblogs_views</td>

                <td class="smallfont">$spitblogs_date</td>

  </tr>

</tbody>

Well, say I don't have vbadvanced... then how would I go about it?

Ericgtr, Any idea why I might be having this problem after reinstalling everything?

Seems to work ok on the foruhome page but not on any other page. The table is there but not the data. Any idea how to make this work on all pages?

I have no idea why the views and dates aren't showing up as the code is in both the template and plugin, only the template needed updating. Try installing the plugin again and see if it doesn't change it for you.

That's because it uses the forumhome_start hook i'm not sure which hook initiates it for every page, you can try maybe global_start or global_complete but I can't be sure.

Yeah, I can't figure it out either. When I paste the old template code I get all four columns showing information, but when I paste the new code I do not. Here is the old code:

HTML Code:

      <a href="blog.php">Latest Blogs</a>

  </td>

 </tr>

 </tr>

</table>

  </td>

 </tr>

</tbody>

</table>

<!-- Latest Blogs -->

I have pasted the Latest Blogs above the "What's Going On" and below, and get the same results. Is there some code in the FORUMHOME template that must be near your code? I am completely baffled.

I see an extra quote in the latest code (fixed now) will you try applying the template edit again and let me know?

I reimported the product and pasted your modified code and still is not working right for me. Would you mind looking at my FORUMHOME template?

That looks right to me. Can you try to apply this (just the template code) to your vb default template and see if you get the same results, just to test it out.

This is my default FORUMHOME template. This is totally weird. :confused:

I believe you get a better look when you use the following code:

Code:

can you please make it show the last 5 blogs that have been updated instead of the last blogs posted :) so if a user updates his blog, he won't appear in the 5 spaces and he would let other users appear :) that would be nice

i installed this (after RSS instructions) and now i have this error on the top of my forum

Quote:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '*' in /home/XXX/public_html/forums/index.php(63) : eval()'d code on line 139

I already unistalled both plug ins and the error still exisits. please help.

now I tried to reinstall the product and get this

Quote:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '*' in /home/kappat2/public_html/forums/index.php(63) : eval()'d code on line 171

The RSS is separate, the two should not be installed together. If everything is pulled you should have no errors. Make sure remove the forumhome_start plugin from the RSS instructions, it's under vbulletin titled "Latest Blogs" (it's not a part of the original plugin) it's under vbulletin.

Aye sound mate,

Screenshot here mate, I used the code in post 27

Maybe not as its not updated for a wee while and i've clicked on one of the blog entries a few times but don't know how the "views" work.. if its per link or Unique views

Only time will tell I suppose :eek::D

Edit:Aye its updating nae probs

Very nice - Thanx for sharing!
I do have a question though - See the pic attached...
I have the blogs link in our Forums section - I would like to put the Blog Posts table right in the description - but for some reason the variables aren't really showing - I know the modification wasn't made for it - but is there any way you can help me with fixing the code so it does like the attached pic?

Thanx again - Nice share

Jacquii.

Excellent, Installed it and works a treat :)

Jacquii.

<a href="http://lurkingmastermind.com/forums/blogs/evil/yesterday-s-entries-30/" target="_blank">http://lurkingmastermind.com/forums/...-s-entries-30/</a>

Problem. Entries saved as draft appear in the latest blogs table and when click naturally throw up an error message.

Just installed, thanks!

Edit: How do I hide this from non members or any other user group?

Thanks for the Russian translation, zCarot - using it. 8)

Concerning the hack you provided - it caused troubles when I tried to use it - half of my users could access the forum. So I switched back to the original version...

Thanks for the try anyway...

DB error (show it)? Or just blank page?

Very nice! Thank you, looks good!

I've got a major problem with this on my forumhome. I think it may be due to the fact that my server admin recently upgraded to php5. Installing the product as-is and making the template edit as-is I get a black table where the list of recent blogs is supposed to be (see image). I tried altering both the .xml file and the template edit to replace any .php extensions with .php5 extensions but I'm still getting a black table instead of the blog data. Can you please help?

I solved the problem myself. It was a style problem. I think you should mention in your read me file that people might want it to match their forums styles so, personally, I would change this:

Code:

<td class="smallfont">$spitblogs_username</td>

<td class="smallfont">$spitblogs_title</td>

<td class="smallfont">$spitblogs_views</td>

<td class="smallfont">$spitblogs_date</td>

to this:

Code:

<td class="alt2">$spitblogs_username</td>

<td class="alt1">$spitblogs_title</td>

<td class="alt1">$spitblogs_views</td>

<td class="alt1">$spitblogs_date</td>
