I'm working on a simple journal hack for release soon. :)

I reckon that it wouldn't be too hard to convert the current vB Calendar into a Journal system - just make it so that a member's private entries can be viewed by other members if they have enabled it in their Options.

michealo 08-23-2002 12:11 PM

yes, i did that exact thing

i made a new forum listing for the members journals and changed the permissions so only the thread starter can post in his own thread.

works great

No, I'm not talking about making a forum with threads - I am talking about integrating the journals into the vB calendar.php - I'm going to work on this right now, and see if I can get it working. :)

Okay... I managed to convert my calendar.php to journal.php :) - works well... I basically use the same calendar.php functions, but modified it so that you can choose to show all birthdays, all public journal entries, or a specific user's public journal entries. Private journal entries remain private. It was easier than I thought.

I can't really release it as a hack, because it is based heavily on calendar.php, and I don't think I can post it - the changes are all based on copying large chunks of calendar.php around.

Its getting to the point where I just might spend a day doing a Live Journal clone in vBulletin. I really want it!

@ erwin.

The calendar system already has public and private entries.

Using the same calendar templates and db tables, I made MASSIVE changes to calendar.php and the templates to make it into a journal. Some of the changes:

1) The latest journal entries show up on the homepage. If there are no entries, it says "No journal entries for today yet".
2) Private entries are private - only the poster can see them. Private entries show up on the homepage only for the poster.
3) Public entries can only be edited by the poster. At the moment everybody can edit them.
4) The ability to view only certain member's journal entries, and navigate the calendar viewing only that member's entries.
5) Make the entries look like your postbit. :)
6) Allow mods to delete or edit journal entries.
7) The monthly public journal entries show up on the calendar page, or you can choose to see individual entries only.
8) Choose to see all daily public journal entries for the day.
9) Birthdays are shown on a separate monthly screen - you choose to only see journal entries or birthdays on the calendar.
10) Ability to search for members to view their journal entries.
11) A link on the member's postbit to view their journal entries.
12) A link in the member's profile to view their journal entries.
13) Showing the journal link in the memberlist.
14) Adding the ability to add journal entries in the control panel.

It's actually not that hard to do - it's a matter of just adding new queries, modifying current ones, and changing the permissions, then editing the member's profiles, control panel, memberlist and index.php. :)

I'm still looking for bugs... So far it looks fine. It's popular with the members.
