Thank you so much for this, It looks like it will perfect with an idea I had for my board. Installed!

Just a couple of quick questions. This mod looks like something that I have been looking for however, can the headings, (Editors choice Articles, Breaking Articles, Important Articles, RSS per category Newest Articles) be changed to your own headings?

Also, is there a setting in the admincp to allow the admin to add articles but not allow users to add articles?

Thanks.

vbFJournal is a 100% vB product, so all phrases are easily translating or changing to anything else.

Yes, you can do it by assigning only to administrator's usergroup permissions to add articles. But articles can be only add, at site's frontend and not at admincp.

Thank you very much for your very quick response. I will download now but I will install a bit later when my site is fully set up. I will clcik installed at that time.

Thanks again.

Hi,

I am trying to install vBFjournal but I have run into a couple of problems. Obviously something that I have not done correctly.

I uploaded the files and CHMOD the directories as needed, although my server requires folders at 775 rather than 777.

I turned off the board.

I imported the product.

I set the permissions in the Usergroup.

Then I configured the vbjournal options and then turned the board back on.

When I opened my browser and typed in "http:www.nextel-nascar.com/vbjournal/vbjournal.php I get the following errors.

Warning: require_once(./global.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/mysite/vbjournal/vbjournal.php on line 99

Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required './global.php' (include_path='.:/usr/local/php5/lib/php') in /home/mysite/vbjournal/vbjournal.php on line 99

I checked my server and the file vbjournal.php is there in the folder vbjournal.

Also, I would like to have it set up so that when a user goes to my site, the vbjournal is the home page. How would I do that?

Thank you very much.

That's the problem. vbjournal.php must be OUT of vbjournal directory. In the same level as is your vB's index.php
And if your server needs CMOD 775 do it this way and not 777

thanks friend

Thank you very much. It works now.
Is there a way to set it up so that when a user comes to the site, vbjournal is the home page rather than having to put a link on the menu to get to it?

Thanks again.

I think I have figured out how to make vbjournal the home page but the problem I have now is that when I click on "Add an Article" I get a "Page Not Found" error.

Sorry,... I have it working now.

It is not the best remedy in the world but it seems to work.

To make it the home page, I changed the name of vbjournal.php to index.php.
This caused the "Page Not Found" error because it was looking for vbjournal.php.
So, I just uploaded another copy of vbjournal.php.

Now I get the editor instead of the "Page Not Found" error. As I said, it may not be the most elegant fix but it seems to work.

Thanks and sorry for all the posts.
