I decided to say goodbye to this hack. Don't get me wrong! It's been ace, but a hack with no updates is like a geratric marathon runner. I'm switching to vBlogetin, I think I'll be happy now. :)

Finally have my member journals back on line. However, members can no longer edit their posts, insert images, links etc. How can this be fixed?

The "New Entries" and "Latest Journals" links no longer work. How can this be fixed?

Thanks,

I have looked over my vbjournal template over and over and I still get this error.

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_PRIVATE, expecting ']' in /mounted-storage/home30a/sub001/sc14192-UTSO/www/forums/journal.php(564) : eval()'d code on line 188

Here is line 188 below

<div class="smallfont">$vbphrase[your_current_journal_status_is]: <if condition="$bbuserinfo[private]=='1'">$vbphrase[private]<else /><if condition="$bbuserinfo[private]==''">$vbphrase[non_existent]<else />$vbphrase[public]</if></if></div></td>

see if this works

Code:

<div class="smallfont">$vbphrase[your_current_journal_status_is]: <if condition="$bbuserinfo['private']== 1"><b><font color="red">$vbphrase[private]</font></b><else /><if condition="$bbuserinfo['private']==''"><b><font color="orange">$vbphrase[non_existent]</font></b><else /><b><font color="green">$vbphrase[public]</font></b></if></if></div></td>

You are the MAN that worked.. Thank you...

I've installed this on my 3.6 but when I look in the admin panel there are no admin options showing up for vB Journal. I've put all the files needed in the /includes/xml file but still there are no options. Any ideas?

I made a plugin to add most of the the journal CP to the Moderator Menu, since I don't want to be hassled with adding moods! :P
But be warned, my plugin probably won't work for 3.6 without some changes. It uses phrases and I'm told phrases went "bye bye" on 3.6 :(

I have installed vbjournal in v3.5.x and its working well when i click into the navbar link.

However, as I am using vbadcmps, i get error url page when i click into the journal navbar link.

Can someone assist to lead me the correct procedures, please.

TIA.

does it have an import feature for vbjournal?

Are you really selling it for $50?

Ive set yes to auto approve, but still have to manually moderate all entries ...

hi...

I was wondering if anyone had coded a converter from vbjournal to zoints blog? I have the old journal system but swaped to zoints as it's got a better security model (sorry to say that , journal is still good non the less).

I was wondering is anyone had away to convert the entries to the blog. I know theres one for vbdurpal so was hoping someone had already taken the initiative!

does anyone mind if we just update vbjournal for vb363, vs buying alternate for us poor folk?

My vbJournal has not been working properly since upgrading to VBulletin 3.6. Yesterday one of my members lost entries while trying to edit them. The edit feature in the Journals has not worked since the 3.6 vbulletin upgrade. Is there a detailed description available on how to upgrade the VBJournal so that it will work smoothly with vbulletin 3.6?

Thank you
Widebertha

Just wondering if i will ever get an answer to my question regarding vbjournals and vbulletin 3.6. I have asked this question several times in the last month or so and have no received an answer.

Ever since the install of the vbulletin 3.6 upgrade my vbjournals do not work properly. The editing feature as disappeared.

If it is impossible to correct this problem with vbjournals could someone recommend a different journal/blog feature that could be integrated with my vbulletin message board. Please advise.

Thank you,
Luci (Widebertha)

this is what i did: vblogetin.com

i was impatient and it is also nice to have it as a commercial product because there iwll be security updates and it will be more advanced. i like it a lot so far.

vBlogetin is ok, but a bit boring and still in beta testing. Why not go for Zoints? It's pretty cool and offers your users more than just a blog. It's also FREE! I wouldn't trust a beta product as you would be going from 1 trouble to the next.

Forget vbJournal... it's no longer supported. That's your answer.

How's it boring? Anyway we're still in beta but we have some big plans - we actually expect to have fully static links for the blogs by around Christmas this year. Comparing strictly blog functionality, there is no comparison between vBlogetin and Zoints, but of course Zoints isn't just a blog so that's not a fair comparison.

I'm glad you like it so far, theChronic. :)

I was comparing blog vs blog. Zoints offers a blog system and obviously vBlogetin offers a blog system. The beauty with Zoints is that it's more sticky for creating online communities. vBlogetin only offers Blogs and from what I could see, Zoints offers blogs and more. It allows members to be more connected to each other and show off their own profile pages. There is the control with Zoints blog too - ie. members can choose who can view their blogs which is a cool feature.

The whole idea with building online forums is to create a sticky experience for users and Zoints lends to this nicely.

Cheers.

I had this working fine on a different forum (3.5.4) and it worked pretty good.

When I created a new site, I was hoping to have this as a perk/premium for VIP members, etc.

After reading everything over, I have installed it fine on a 3.6.4 board, and all works well.

However today one of my members told me there was an issue with the buddy/ignore screen, and that the Journal buddies was "trapped" inside the Ignore users box. I guess when I modified the MODIFYLIST template, I stuck the code in the wrong place and it was causing issues with my ignore user functions.

I now see that much of the code it's looking for does not exist in my style (unsure of default 3.6), so i must have spaced out and installed it close to what I think it was.

The instructions say:

Code:



   In Template modifylist

Anyways, I guess I had to fix it.

I looked it over and decided that I didn't like the one that was there anyways.

So i created my own:

In MODIFYLIST find:

Code:

<script type="text/javascript">

                                                                <!--

                                                                vbmenu_register('userfield_buddy', true);

                                                                snc_buddy = new vB_AJAX_NameSuggest('snc_buddy', 'userfield_buddy_txt', 'userfield_buddy');

                                                                //-->

                                                                </script>

                                                        </if>

                                                </td>

                                                <td align="$stylevar[right]"><input type="submit" class="button" value="$vbphrase[save_list]" accesskey="s" /></td>

                                        </tr>

                                        <tr>

                                                <td colspan="2"><label for="chkall_b"><input type="checkbox" name="allbox" id="chkall_b" onclick="js_check_all(this.form)" checked="checked" />$vbphrase[check_uncheck_all]</label></td>

                                        </tr>

                                        </table>

                                </form>

                        </div>

                        </if>

Please save your modifylist template first, just in case, because I am not a coder by any means, i simply hack away, so please be gentle, it might not work for you (it should though)

The results are in the attached image

if anyone thinks they can improve on it (and they probably can), feel free. All i did was copy the buddies section, and edited it out as needed

However this is where I need some very small help.

When you add a username to the buddy or ignore list, the name is defaulted as checked, therefore next time you add names, they will remain on the list.

In my changes above, when I add a user, it is defaulted unchecked. if you press the check / uncheck all button it works fine. Can anyone help me fix this small issue?

Also, on the /journal.php?do=showjbuddies page, all the user names are stuck together 9no spaces between them)

i know both are related to $jbuddy_listbits but when i search the journal.php, I can't really figure it out much.

Can anyone interested in fixing this buddy page help me out on these two minor issues?

thanks

I checked out the vBlogetin, its a nice system but it can't compare to the IPB nore Zoints System. I havegrown tired of vBulletin putting an update out every week. So I converted my board to Invision Power Board. Tho still in Beta and RC Release IPB 2.2 plus their blog Gallery and download products built officly boy them its a pretty stable community.

I still usevB but only on the site I admin at. We are still using the vBjournal and we are going to the Zoints system as well. Why do you ask? because its stupid paying money for a mod that is done by a third party.

I bought GARS for my vB but never really used it. So I gave it to the sit eI admin at that is a vBulletin.

Sorry but I am going to have to go with aacircle on this. I like the Zoints. is myspace without all the loonies

Vbulletin is far more powerful than Invision.

Let's not turn this into a this system versus that system thread. In the end, each forum owner should evaluate what is best for their community; to each their own. We're hoping to work with vBlogetin to standardize our block systems which would, in the end, benefit the forum owners.

With that said, after evaluating vbjournal's current state and codebase, we at Zoints have decided to write an import script to our Zoints Local blogging system which runs nicely on 3.5.x and 3.6.x and will continue to be supported and upgraded. It should be ready soon.

We have an importer for Zoints Local available for testing. We've tested it successfully on a couple forums but want a couple more testers before we release it to the general public. If you're interested, please PM me here.

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2006/12/2.png

Have installed Zoints on our forum and am just playing with it now. Looks like a cool system and will import the blogs from vbJournal tomorrow hopefully.

Will this work in 3.6.4?

No. You will get strange stuff happening. Hence the reason why many have moved over to Zoints.
