[high]* michaelbenson installs[/high]

Aweome will test this out shortly and post feedback. :)

Awesome, I'm glad you solved the WYSIWYG problem. :up:

[high]* Guest190829 clicks install.[/high]

3.5.1 pretty please?

not until this version is out of beta.

Nice work!

If you are experiencing problems with WYSIWYG editor that is because i forgot to fix that in the release package;)

in the journal_submitentry template find:
replace that with:
in the journal_startpage template find:
replace that with:
in the journal_edit_entryinfo template find:
replace that with:
I have also attached the updated upgrade and install template xml files.

zip has been updated.

Looking forward to the 3.5.1 one. :)

Well the sooner people start testing the 3.0.7 version the sooner An-net starts 3.5.1 development. :)

@An-net, the WYSIWYG fix is working, and I can now use the system correctly. :)

A shame us 3.5.x users can't test it since we'd have to downgrade (which I believe is impossible) ^^

*Clicks Install*

I'll try and get this out to our audience this week. They love finding faults and whinging at us so I'm sure we can help get this out of beta pretty quickly. :)

its sort of scary and eerie that no one has found any errors yet but me>_>

maybe i will install on my localhost to test it out.

that would be great:)

I will be giving this version another week until i release a beta 2 with a few more updates. after that we will see. please test everyone:)

anyway you can make it so this journal has features to change your font, smilies, and font color... etc....


BTW:

GRACIAS!! I *clicks install*

i do not understand. what exactly are you asking it to do?

this journal now doesn't have an opition to change the page background, font color, font, font site, basically an editor bar with an opition to instert a pic.

you change fonts using the vbulletin editor for entries. page customization will become available in 2.0+

Thanks for porting this up to 3.5.x. Can't wait to see it's Gold release. :)

It's one of my favorite hacks, and one that looks "pro" too.

Chris

thankyou very much, i look forward to completeing 1.5 and then moving onto 2.0.

wohow, page customization in 2.0, really looking forward to that one too!

Error on upgrade:

Database error in vBulletin 3.0.9:

Invalid SQL: ALTER TABLE journal_settings ADD `version` VARCHAR( 30 ) CHARACTER SET latin1 COLLATE latin1_swedish_ci NOT NULL
mysql error: You have an error in your SQL syntax. Check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'COLLATE latin1_swedish_ci NOT NULL' at line 1

This occurs from script:
journalupgrade2.php

On step 2/5

vBulletin 3.0.9
MySQL version 4.0.24

Don't mean to be persistant, but when will this be made for 3.5? I'm using 1.0.2 Beta for 3.5 and it's pretty buggy.

@Kenny Pollock
If you would report bugs (so far I havn't seen any bugreport from you) instead of just complaining about their existance, then they could be fixed.
Just complaining about them doesn't help much, as I am not aware of any bugs at the moment.
So, please let me know what the bugs are.
Thank you.

@Nighteyes
mySQL 4.0 does not have collation support.

should i just remove it and will that make it ok for all versions?

Wasn't complaining. I'm new to vB from IPB and looked for a blog replacement from Invision's and saw posts that said there were a few versions of vB Journal around and by different authors.

Comments aren't posting to the blogs my users have, it makes the entry in the database but the message field is left blank. $_POST['message'] isn't passing to the database.

New journals seem to be towards the end, shouldn't they be at the top like regular blogs?

Is there an ability to recount comments/entries/journals? I wrote an Invision Blog to vB Journal converter and all those stats didn't count (forgot to update the table). A lot of scripts like vB and Photopost have this recount feature, I didn't see it with vB Journal.

Thank you.

@An-Net
Yes, just remove the collation/charset stuff and it will work.
However, make sure that fields you are processing string operations on (like CONCAT or FIND_IN_SET) should be BINARY, otherwise you might/will run into problems with conflicting collations.

@Kenny Pollock
Make sure you are using the latest Version and unmodified templates.
If it still does not work, make a bugreport.

As for recounting: It's not a feature yet, but i'll make a note to add smth, in the future.

Now im confused. *cries* :(

Thanks for the response.

The footer shows: vB 3.5 Journal (1.0.2 Alpha 1) by KirbyDE, based on vB Journal 1.0.1 by Antonbomb22

Is that the latest for 3.5?

No, that is very old.
Current Version is Beta 1, the previous one was Alpha 3.

So is the zip going to be updated so I can try to upgrade this on our MySQL 4 installation?

yes i will try to upgrade this tonight.

This fix addresses problems within the upgrade script relating to MySQL 4.0 Compatability problems.

upload and overwrite journalupgrade2.php, new file attached.

quick question, sorry if it is already stated or not. Is it possible to make the journal so that each journal uses the userid in the url? instead of "do=showjournal&j=id". The reason that I'm asking this is because I want each member to have a journal according to her/his real forum id.

thank you.

currently no, and for this version i do not see it being a feature. users can easily access their journals through journal.php?do=gotomyjournal

ok thank you, was just curious :)
