(I am sorry that it requires a spearate Registration. If I ever find Time i'll write a vBulletin Authentication Module)

I would be willing to test it on my community, I like to be a lab rat.

As would I. Dang Kirby you are pumping out ports and hacks left and right. Awesome job dude. PM me or I'll PM me if you need me to test (I'd be more than willing ;) )

This the same one as kirby is talking about?

Would hate to have 2 dif port overs to play with.

It wasn't there for you ;) I just couldn't email it to Kirby from work. It's one I've been running on my own site for a week or so.

Amy

Ahh, so if I use it then I did not use it right ? :) And I never seen anything lol

WOW, I've been looking for this. I love this site!

I love the zip I dl by mistake , but ..... I see nothing in it , no no (I see nothing)

Actually I have yet to try it, due to once amy said it was not for me, I am awaiting permission to try it, if not I will delete it .....

[high]* vBintense begs amy to allow me to try it :)[/high]

I am supporting nothing that was downloaded by mistake. ;) And, the install directions and file changes weren't in the zip cause I figured Kirby didn't need em. :D

Now that is very very evil of you amy :)

[high]* vBintense goes off to cry I do not know the file changes (unless amy shares)
[/high]

The contents I can figure out where they all go though lol :ermm:

<<<<< oOOOooo OOOOOO me guinea pig want to be!!!

definitely willing to beta test this. :D er...what exactly to have to do? register on you site? users would love a blogish system. :)

yep im willing to test it 2.

great I really need this hack :)

its working fine for me :) why not realese it ?

ahh I get it. ok...registered and already reported on bug. :D woot!! (woot! now I feeeel like I contributed SOMEthing. :p)

don't worry...I'll do my best to try break it. heehee. :D

i signed up to test it and it loads terribly slow. i dont know if its the server or the code...

It's the Server which is goddamn slow.
(You get what you pay for ^.^)

lol what are you hosted on 1.5 ghz?

Dual Xeon 2.4 Ghz.
But it's VPS with approx. 100 Clients, so mathematically I got like 48 Mhz :)

thats terrible...

Yeah, that's why I said: You get what you pay for :D

I will gladly give your beta a whirl on my forums.

The sooner I get a journal system compatible with the old version of vBJournal installed on my 3.5.0, the better. Many of my users preferred using their forum blogs over LiveJournal. Also, if you wish I will gladly re-add the changes I made with vBlog (another customisation of vBJournal) and share them with you.. :)

I would love to help test this on my forums :).

*bump*
I fixed all Bugs reported so far, as well as a whole bunch of issues releated to Private Journals/Entries (hopefully ...):
- Guests cannot view private Journals/Entries
- Private Journals/Entries do not show up in Top Stats
- Private Journals do not screw up Index Display/Pagination
- Private Entries do not screw up Journal Display/Pagination
- Latest private Entries/Journals do show up if the User has Permission
- If a public (or Private Journal where the User has Permission) is being shown on Index, and it's latest Entry is Private (eg. User does not have Permission) it will show "Private" instead of a Link

Other Changes
- Fixed Journal Rating (should work now)
- Fixed a lot of Redirection URLs
- Added some checks for Invalid IDs
- Settings saved in Datastore => 1 Query less for every Page generated by journal.php

Please test and report Bugs :)
If everything goes well, Alpha 1 should be ready within a few Days.

any chance their might be a rating system, like on the invision blog system?

Is this only a port of vbjournal? Or are you going to develop your own hack once you get a stable version released?

Maybe I missed the obvious, but where do we download this beta from ?

i believe you have to request it from him via pm/email

Nope. Go to his site to test..

http://kirbydemos.ath.cx/forum/journal.php

As stated in the first Post, it's not yet available for installing it yourself, just for testing on my Site.

Any idea when a release will be made public?

When there are no Bugs found in the current Version for some days.

Well if that is your answer, may I ask how many bugs are left and how many are coming in? A little idea would be nice, I am not asking for a dead line, just a little insight on how it's coming along.

There are currently none that I am aware of.

Kirby, I'm not getting any images. (Opera 8.02/Linux)

Erm ... which Images?

Interesting. Just fired up XP and it shows as text. I'll post a screen shot from the Linux side shortly.

I'd more be interested where there are missing images ...

Posted a screenshot.

I see ^.^
The Stylevars for Image Paths were set to localhost - LOL.
Didn't notice that as they are valid on my System ;)

Should show up now.

Yep! :)

Mood drop down shows only "none". As designed? Or should there be other options?
