vBlog (Another planned blog system)
 

After attempting to contact Gamingforce.com about their ChocoJournal system with no reply, I've decided to start working on my own blogging mod by the name of vBlog (I'm surprised nobody has released a mod of this name previously). I feel that the 2 currently released mods (Ryangel's ported vB2 Journal for vB3 and vBJournal for vB3 by AN-Net) lack certain features, and certainly I'm going to design completely new templates.

I have the templating side of things covered, but I do however require assistance with the coding. I can only do the basics, which aren't up to scratch for such a system.. So if anyone is interested in helping out that has some PHP and MySQL knowledge, send me a PM or something - no beta testing requests please! :)

funnily enough i had the exact same though today as well, i had it all planned in my head and then slapped myself as i'm already working on something.

good luck :)

sadly my heads stuck in another coding project or i'd offer assistance although i think you're a better coder than me anyway, good luck, any help you need i'd love to help although saying that i've been bugging this place and Pie for help with my code lol.

ooo what features is my journal missing...

- Ability to design your own journal.
- Statistics (x Entries, y Comments, z Views, a Journals).
- Random entry.

Probably a couple of other things too.. It's 10am, I can't think of them all. ;)

OK: were you involved in the development over @ BearFacts2?

Yes, but that Journal system was taken the exact opposite way development wise that I had in mind..


vBlog will be merging with vBJournal (by AN-Net) when he releases v2 and will be under the vBJournal name - so if anyone else wants to use vBlog as a name for a blog hack, they can. For now, I will be working with his v1 code to give a demo of what I have in mind.. It seemed crazy for me to write a new script from scratch when there's already a stable system in development that I feel I can help improve upon.

good luck :)

i am very grateful to have another coder joining me in this next version and someone with fresh new ideas on how to take this addition to the next level and become a better quality and more usable addon:) I will also be reading up on some php and other coding lanuages throughout my christmas break which will hopefully prepare me for version 2:)

Vbjournal is a great hack and a big one also, but it is a nightmare when it comes to translation, I have this hack translated to spanish and since there is a new version coming up soon, in the near future when I update vbjournal I will have to go again throw all templates and files to transalate the hack, could you please use phrases for your next realese, thanks for this great hack but it will be very appreciated by your international users if you take this in consideration, thanks anyway for this master piece.

yes the next version will be completely phrased;)
