iamnofear - I got your PM but you don't seem to be accepting any so I can't reply.

I assume I have 1.0.2 Alpha 1 installed (that's what it says at the top of my readme file).

What is the recommended route to upgrade from 1.0.2 Alpha 1 to 1.0.2 Beta 1?

I am somehow not satisfied with this journal. Modern blogs have calendar in members blogs, custom link menu, custom layouts (colors, themes) and more.

Where is all this?

Well, I have always been of the mind that beggars can't be choosers. We are not paying so...we really can't complain. That said, I would love to see the journal become more of a blog system so my users would use it more especially since I use it offer it as a premium service for those that help support the site.

Anyway, still think its a great hack and when I have the time I wouldn't mind lending a hand and hacking it up a bit and adding some addons. But, it will be a while. I have been going through a messy divorce and my life has been shit for years.

Not anymore though!

I'd really really love it if the SQL queries in this hack were cleaned up. I have a very high-traffic site and some of my members have 50, 100, 400 journal entries. For some reason, the larger their journal, the heavier the queries, and this mod is really taxing the server.

Please clean it up.

Hello.

Is this mod really stable? And works it with vbseo?

Sorry for my english.:surprised:

This words are exactely, which I got from free forum developers, when I asked when some bugs will be fixed.

I soon after realized I need to move to paied forum (vB) to have full suport and out of the box product.

So, I wouldn't mind to pay for blog software, as our portal is sort of income, I just hate to wait.

A little "you" fun with the journal.

First credit goes to where credit is due (you know who you are)

Adding the [you] tag to the journal:

in Journal.php find:

insert under
find:
insert under
"..take the [you] code and replace it with the user's name who is veiwing the thread.."

see: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...99#post1000099 for the details

Oh, I also got the [hide] hack, its not all prettied up yet but my users love being able to hide their je's from a user group, to work in with the journal as well.

I sorry bothering you with this stuff, but I'm creeping throw this thread since more than a hour and I don't have any idea how to "install" the mood-sql zip (page 3). I'm sorry to say that I'm not very experienced with databases. Can anybody please advise?

Thanks a lot in advance,
best regards,

Hi guys,

I’ve some problem running 1.0.2 Alpha 3 with vbulletin 3.5.0 and MySQL 3.23.58 (Andreas helped us installing 1.0.2 Alpha 3)

I’m receiving continuous warnig messages like this in my php error log
After dealing for long time with this, I found that this warning occurs when anyone enters at any journal page

Did you notice any similar problem and how to solve it?. I did some searches at this tread but didn’t find any similar issue

I’m receiving at least 5 warnings per minute like this, and it obviously ends collapsing my server

Thanks in advance

any previews or screen shots or demos of this hack?

you can take a look here if you like to see it.

cant see it, keeps telling me to register,

did you logon with the test account?

I know exactly what you mean Sarthek. I like this free blog software also but it does not meet my needs. I need it so that journalist can have multiple blogs and will be able to edit there timestamp and would also like the journal to fall under different categories. I asked the developers of this blog software about these options and then said no they would not do this. I even offered to pay them to do it, but got no response. So I have hired someone to write my blog/journal software with all of these option and even many, many more options. I expect to have about one thousand blogs (I call journals) on my web site with in the next one or two years. I expect it to be up to about 8,000 within five years time if not less. Nothing against this blog software here, but I could not expect them to support free software and help you with any problems you might have when you have thousands of journals on your web site. You need software you can depend on and offers 100% support with quick response. So I had to go to a professional who will offer support when he was done. It is costing me a pretty penny to do so but that is what you need to do to get what you want and get the support you want.

As someone said “beggars can't be choosers”. That is exactly right. So if you are using this software you can not complain about it because it did not cost you dime. Another note is if you are using this software and you have a very large database of blogs and you have a major disaster and something goes wrong or the software does not support a large amount of blogs. You have no one to blame but yourself if something goes wrong.

The old saying goes something like this. “You get what you pay for”.

I am waiting patiently as my journals are currently being developed now.

Hey there, Great hack I really like it or liked it....

This started happening sometime ago when I changed the phrases. I un-installed the plugin and tried to install it again.

Now I get this:

I know I'm running 3.6 but the exact same was happening with 3.5.4

All help much appreciated. Thanks

maybe just disabling the hack wont do it, i think firstly it could be because your doing it on 3.6.0 but you say u done the same on 3.5.4, I think you need to get into your myphp section in your mysql db and drop the relevant tables and start over again. But you should have backed your things up before you even started to uninstall and reinstall.

wats your test account username and password?

Indeed.

From our prospective, I would give a second tought beetwen vB and IPB if I had to choose again, as they have blog component, for payment though.

Third party software is not an option, neither free or commercial, as it's not much user-friendly, if guests are to be registered twice or more for different parts of portal (forum, shop, blogs...), and not with only 1 ID.

Please inform me asap, how long are blogs expected to be in dewelopment, and what is the price? Perhaps we could split it.

Just so everyone knows, while this hack will work with 3.6, there's something within the code which caused errors in the admincp (fatal error in adminfunctions_options.php), so I hope a fix can be made soon ;)

Are there any bug fixes to do while running on 3.5.x?

I have installed this hack and it will allow me to create my first journal but then when I go back to it I just get a blank page. Any ideas what I have done wrong?

Thanks!

I need help. I've been using this hack since it was first released for vb3 and so my users have accumulated large amounts of posts in their journals. The problem is that regardless of the pagination, the larger their journal, the longer it takes to load and the heavier it is on server resources. For some users, I click on their journal link and come back 5 minutes later. If enough people are browsing journals, it brings my server to its knees. This isn't how things should work.

So, I'm faced with a decision - either clean up this hack myself, or find a new way for users to keep journals. Has anyone had to do any work on the queries to make them more efficient? Please please help!

Ok I fixed the problem. The issue was not the query itself, but the database structure. The install script does not set up proper indexes. If you want this mod to run faster, you need to set up an index in the journal_entries table for the journal_id column.

I would also suggest setting up similar indexes on the other tables, as they are also lacking.

I can't view the journals page instead I just get a blank white page.

http://www.finalfantasyforums.net/journal.php

And yes, I am running on PHP 5+ and mySQL 5.

To reiterate what I said eariler, there's an issue with the bitfields_journalhack.xml file that causes the error in adminfunctions_options.php. Because of that, having the journal enabled causes such things as bbcode to not function, so I've had to remove the xml file for now until a fix is released soon.

Yeah, having the Journal enabled on 3.6.0 also causes a problem with about 4-5 vBulletin options where multiple checkboxes are listed for the admincp>vbulletin options (such as bbcode, image verification options, memberlist field options, active members options, etc.) Disabling journal allows those fields to appear normal once again...

Ok... so it wasn't just me. Well, here's hoping Andreas will check this thread again :)

Sure hope so, I'm just leaving it disabled (and deleted the files) temporarily until this is updated.. My members love this.

couldn't find it in the thread sorry if its been asked...

anyone have trouble getting the postbit edit (link to journal for those that have it) actually to appear? It seems to work in Firefox but I get nothing in IE.


any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. :)

vB Blog (or whatever it's going to be called) is about to be released - this will be a great complement and bring even more great features to end users.

You'll need to go through your templates with a 'fine tooth comb' and check that every 'opening tag' has a closing tag and that things are closed in the correct order.

Well I wouldn't say "about to be", because it won't be until September...</threadHijack>

I’ll try it again. ?Any one could help me please?
Some days ago I posted a warning message that I get when anybody enters at any vbjournal page about the class_core.php, exactly about this piece of code in class_core
More info about this issue >> https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....postcount=1255

Any clue could be fine
thanks

I'll do that again, but I just copied and pasted it from the code up provided. dunno why it wouldn't work. I didn't change anything.

this is the exact code I used (several different places -- still nothing)

<!-- Journal -->
<if condition="$post[journal_id]">
<tr>
<td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="journal.php?$session[sessionurl]do=showjournal&j=$post[journal_id]" title="$post[journaldesc]"><phrase 1="$post[username]">$vbphrase[visit_xs_journal]</phrase></a></td>
</tr>
</if>
<!-- /Journal -->

You'll probably find that the problem of a missing opening or closing tag is elsewhere in the template. Have you tried running the page through a HTML validator such as http://validator.w3.org/

i get errors with 3.6.0 beta 2...

hope this one can be converted without loseing data

Hello? Is there someone who can help here?

I'm still looking for a method to make private entries viewable to Admin...when I upgraded to 3.5.4, that ability changed...

Anyone know what happened to Andreas? His profile shows that he last logged in on the 13th and has only made 4 posts this month (before that, he hadn't posted since March). Hope things are ok...=/

i'm use VB 3.5.4 and i can't use it.this error :
