I only have one question before I strongly think about installing this

does it have an option where though you make the entry private the writer can select whom they want to read it by entering a username in a field?

nope

Hi, Ramm!

Ninth Dimension is correct. This journal doesn't have selective private entries.

Unless if you're well-versed in the fundamentals of PHP, furthermore, I also advise against installing it since it seems that installations have lately been more complex than when Ryangel first released it.

Ryangel has said he will update it, which I'm sure he will once he has the time.. Anime-loo also said he was going to be coding his own version of a journal system, but he's now decided that it will be coded and released for vB3 only (the last I head from him on the subject anyway).

There are a quite a few issues and addons dealt with since the original instructions were posted. It would seem my HTML characters fix doesn't work for entries, and only comments at the moment which I will try and look into when I get some spare time..

Joeboo, thank you VERY much for the mood and np add on. It works great! :D

I just installed this and embedded BB Code images worked the first time I tried, but subsequently they do not. I tried editing the original post with img tags, and adding more posts, but they appear simply as url-type links.

Currently, bbcodes like BOLD, ITALICS, COLOR, SIZE, URL links, and smileys and such do work. I wonder how the vBulletin code would know whether or not to display embedded images?

Well, I have an idea for you. You might change the counts so they are only incremented when someone other than the journalist or a guest visits his page.

I added the parts in yellow to journal.php. Don't forget the closing bracket!:
The reason for not having guests increment the count is that a person could simply log out and hammer their journal to increase the post count. Unless guests were already disabled from reading, as recommended elsewhere in this thread.

Of course, to circumvent this protection, they will simply need to log in as someone else and then hammer the journal. But we needn't tell them that!

A member complained about that his first entries were gone. I checked her journal and this was true. Do journal entries automatically get pruned or do I have to change something somewhere to make everything show again?

It only shows a user's 10 most recent entries I believe..
Nobody implemented a way to view a journal in it's entirety or added pagination.

The entries are still there in the database, but they have been cut off from being displayed.

There is a link for [View All Entries]. It seems to work properly on some of the posters' forums.
