<span class="smallfont">$vbphrase[last_entry] / $vbphrase[date]</span>

to

<span class="smallfont">$randj[lastentrydate] / $vbphrase[date]</span>

not sure if $randj[lastentrydate] is what was meant to go in at this point?

what is the different you made?

</spna> to </span> to cause the proper display of displayed info.

and

$vbphrase[last_entry] to $randj[lastentrydate] to cause the proper display of the journal entry date.

What About a MOD of this mod, perhaps doing a Journal of the Day kind of thing?? Thats what I am essentially looking for atm. Maybe an option to instead of have one randomly each time, have one up for the entire day? =)

This is possible, but now I'll take a holiday to study, and I'll never code any thing before june, 22 2006.

wait for me

tried this , but it still wont show - anything else i need to do ?its enabled in the admincp .

Ok i got this working - and i also edited it so that instead of random journals , it shows the last 5 entries in the journals - and it has an Update your journal now button on it to encourage entries.

If i can figure out how to make a module for it ill re-write it and post - but i wont have time for a few days.

Ok , i think i managed to do this , but i have not tested it.

I have it working on my own boards and i dont want to uninstall it to test the module install, but as far as i can see it should work ok.

I can talk someone through how to do it manually if theres any issues with this , but if someone has a test board they want to try it on that would be even better.


I hardcoded the english words into the top of the module because i didnt have time to get the phrases working on my own board , so it'll stay like that unless someone else wants to re-code it to a better standard.

go to

vba CMPS admin cp >> Edit pages >> homepage (edit) >> Modules Enabled >> make sure Random Journal box is checked. ;)

In the file cmps_index.php (or whatever you had renamed it.)

Sorry guys, would like to know how to find the above file?

Under ftp host? really no idea how to do the above instructions.

Kindly soul pls advice. TIA
