Me too :)

anyone port over the vbjournal module for vbadvanced CMPS for vb 3.5.0? we upgraded to vb 3.5.0 and we cant get the CMPS module block for vbJournal to work on the main page. :(

Alrighty then, here it is.. Alpha 4 (unofficial and unsupported). :)
A lot of stuff was changed, if you choose to use this I'd recommend backing up your journal stuff beforehand (including database tables) and then reverting the templates..

Andreas, perhaps you could link to this post in your first post or something until you release your update?

{Zip Removed - 16/11/05}

any description of what you have changed?

<i>Now Playing feature added to entries
Completely new templates, cleaner design
Journal entries sorted by latest first
Entry # fixed for perpage in journals
Journal buddies linked on journal index</i>

Just to name a few.. I can't remember everything that I changed in all honesty.

I'd love to see a shoutbox on the user's journal page, is this possible?

there is one already

really? guess I missed it.

How can I download Obvilion Knight's newest version?

Whats special in the new version?

Now playing isn't working and I don't know what else, doesn't really look much different to me. Also, I tried to revert the templates like you said but they show us unchanged so I can't.

Hmmm, nevermind, reuploaded all the files and it seemed to have fixed the problem. All works now. :D

Ok, I'm getting weird errors when I try to post a journal entry. And I'm getting a weird error when I try to access the journal now. Here is the error:

Database error in vBulletin 3.5.0:

Anyone got a latest journal entries module for vba cmps 2.0?

Anyway I can add my buttons back into the journal and latest jounal entries at the top again maybe a cleaner version of it.

Also the comments still aren't wrking proplerly

anyone has other button for the journal? who wouldnt mind sharing with me :)?

Glad you got it working.. Can you see the template differences now? :)


Sure, find this (twice) in your JOURNAL template:
Replace them both with:
Not much point in this, since it's directing to start a new journal.. The default package doesn't seem to have a "My Journal" image of any kind.

I have no plans to re-add the "Latest Journal Entries" and "Latest Journals" stuff back. However, Andreas plans to make this an option in future..


What's wrong with them? They're working fine for me..

The update works great, http://www.streethop.com/forum/journal.php

Still looking for a vbAdvanced Module....

Anything on my error?

Did you import the product file? Seems that the query didn't run for some reason..

Try running this query manually via phpMyAdmin:
[sql]ALTER TABLE p_journal_entries ADD np text NOT NULL[/sql]If you use a table prefix, replace "p" with it - if not remove "p_".


You may want to check a couple of those templates.. Namely, journal_journalbits. I seem to remember removing the journal views column from the journal list as I was going for a similar look to that of the forum home..

I also forgot a buddy_journals.gif icon..

OK say I click on the "vuew comments dropdown. it will take me to all my comments that have been posted in my journal. If I have mulitibple pages and click say on page 6 the URL changes but the comments don't meaning that it still reads as the first page. even has the page 1 hilighted

screenshots posted below

Also anther thing How do I remove the rating system for the journals. I want to remove it for everyone and they still have the stars is there anyoway to fix this? reset the rating table in the DB or what ^_^ Thanks

I'll have a play with it, see what I can come up with for you.. :)

Thanks I am getting Support PMs out the butt to get this fixed

Fixed, overwrite your journal.php file with the one in my zip.

If you're viewing all comments and not just ones specific to an entry, the URL will show &e=0 - but it works.. ;)

I believe so.

Thanks, worked like a charm. Is there any way to insure that I have all the tables needed? Seems weird that it would leave out that one.

thanks now one more issue I would like to ask for in the final release of this mod. Able to enable diable rating system via the admin CP like you can with the forums see a site with 20,000 members and the vets being all popular and what not its like a popularity contest with the rating system so I think it would be cool to have it where you an diaable it if need be

I think Andreas will be doing something like this.

When I was discussing things with him a while back, he intended to make the script much more customisable.

sorry to be a poin in the but but maybe some Mod options to delete other peoples comments?

Planned and the permission are already there, just the code is stall lacking.

How Steady Is This with 3.5 Gold?

I'm a bit confused by what's happening here, I understand Andreas/Kirby will probably not have alot of time to work on this, and I see OblivionKnight has stepped in to fix some things. So will you guys be teaming up? Or is this hack going in two different directions without either acknowleding each others work?

The only reason I ask is this is the hack besides the arcade my users want the most. And a collaboration to help work on it might be better. :)

Basically, I did some custom work on vBJournal back on the 3.0.x system and nicknamed it "vBlog". I eventually planned to fully rewrite the script and release it under it's own name..

However, along came 3.5.0 and Andreas asked if I would be willing to share these additions to his port. I did so, but he hasn't got the time right now to integrate them in to his next update - so I've posted the version that I've shared with him, and it'll act as a footprint leading to his next release. There seems to be a couple of issues upgrading from Kirby's Alpha 3 release to my unofficial Alpha 4 release, however (mainly with templates).

But a fresh install of this will be ok ?

Should be.. :)

Is there anyone that has installed this Journal hack that has it up and running where they can show us a Demo of it without having to register on a site to see it. I would like to see if I like it before I install it. I have installed journal hacks before and they ended up being lame. Then after finding out you don't like it there is not uninstall program to remove the tables from the database and your either stuck with the database changes or you have to hunt and pick through the database to find the tables to remove. The journals I have installed before are usually just extentions of the forum that end up looking like a thread. I want a good indepth journal program. Is this one of those?

you can view but not have a journal :) but im sure you'll like it

In case you didn't know, u still can change the Entries Order in the original Alpha 3 build, just open journal.php and

FIND THIS
REPLACE WITH THIS
I'm pretty sure, Oblivion Knight version of this hack fixes this issues and adds some other stuff, but if u only want to change the order entries... that works since VB 3.0 :ninja:

For anyone interested, I've included a new myjournal.gif image in the zip. I'll make a small update to the templates shortly to use images instead of form buttons.

Yes, it does.. :)

Since Andreas will have increasingly less time to work on this, being a vB dev and all, I've started work on Alpha 5 (probably unofficial again). This update will fix any issues present with Alpha 4 (mostly layout stuff), and add several customisable options to the Admin CP.
