If you're unsure how to edit a plug-in, you could edit the product file and do the same search /replace before you install it...

I can't even figure out how to get the blog feature on my forum, let alone use your add-on to help integrate it. Can you help me with that? I know it's out of the scope of this, but I would apprecite it.

blogs isn't a 'feature' per se, its an additional product you need to purchase from www.vBulletin.com

I may give this a go shortly, just wondering has anyone used it with vb 3.8 and vblog 2 yet?

I've not tested that scenario - I must say I'm suprised the VB team didn't integrate blogs and searches themselves in the latest versions?

Is there any way to stop the time stamp from showing in Military time and to appear in my forums time style instead... instead of 21:34:34 can it be 9:34pm... also, the time is showing as one hour earlier than the blog post/comment was made...

Sorry - I'm not going to be doing any updates to this one (no time / motivation).

As such I've changed it's settings to "Not Supported" and "Re-usable Code" which means I'm not necessarily going to help, however anyone else can copy/use/enhance the existing code to create a new product which will hopefully be better than this one.

Seems blog drafts are showing up in search results - anybody got a fix for that?

Found it:

In plugin search_start change
. " AND blog_text.state = 'visible'"
TO
. " AND blogtitle.state = 'visible'"

Thanks for the update.
Does anyone have a fix for blogs showing up multiple times, when there are multiple comments?
