Ok you asked for it.

Here is what I would like to see:

I would like to be able to categorize the journals so that when you click on journals then they will also be listed by the year that they were started. My site if I install the journals will need to be that way. We are going to have journals for users that hike the Appalachian Trail and there will most likely be tons of journals and they will be posted by the year the person hiked. So I need it to come up with the listing by years. Then after they pick the year have it list the users in alphebical order that have journals for that year.

I could give you more options I would like to see but I will let you read this one first and see if you understand what I mean.

Okay, I haven't been keeping up with this recently, so I'm a bit confused, what/where is Alpha 5 and whos hack is this now, have you taken it over OBK ?

OK, please add support for the WYSIWYG editor and attachments.

Thanks for all the hard work on this!!

Sorry, I meant WYSIWYG in the edit page and attachments for new entries.

Thanks!

I noticed that when creating a new journal you have the field "Now Playing:". I tried typing in a music file here. But it does not seem to play when viewing the journal. Is this what this is for?

The feature requests have been noted, and hopefully I can add them shortly.


Alpha 5 will be the next build (unofficial) of vBJournal.

Currently, this remains to be AN-net's hack which Andreas has ported to 3.5.0. I'm just helping move things along for Andreas' eventual takeover of it when it will be renamed "Kirblog".


No. The "Now Playing" feature simply displays what the journalist is currently listening to when writing the entry..

Maybe it should be change to "Now Listening to:". I just went in and change mine to that.

You want some more journal inputs:

If you go back and edit the Title of the post in your journal then the title from the comments that other users have made stays to what the old thread title was. It does not change to the new title.

It would be nice to be able to have your own profile picture in the journal rather then an avatar.

Have the option to view the journals in thread format with just the headers/titles or in the current view with all the entries on the page.

Allow users to subscribe to a person journal. This way they get an email when a new entry is submitted.

Tha is all for now. I don't want to swamp you with suggestions.

This is the correct behaviour. Users may enter an alternative comment title than "Re: <entry title>" so updating this automatically would be rather tricky, although not entirely impossible..

Nice hack. Question - is the data available in external.php or are there plans to have a separate feed from the journals?

I'm hoping to get Cloud-Warrior's RSS feed addon working for Alpha 5.
