here we go

Create a template called 'adv_portal_latestjournalentry'

Paste the text below in it and change 'http://www.nordinho.net/vbull/journal.php?$session[sessionurl]' to the url where your journal is located.

<table align="center" border="0" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" class="tborder" width="100%">
<thead>
 <tr>
  <td class="tcat" colspan="2">
    <a style="float:$stylevar[right]" href="#top" onclick="return toggle_collapse('cmps_pagesmenu')"><img id="collapseimg_cmps_pagesmenu" src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/collapse_thead$vbcollapse[collapseimg_cmps_pagesmenu].gif" alt="" border="0" /></a>
    <span class="smallfont"><strong><a href="http://www.nordinho.net/vbull/journal.php?$session[sessionurl]">$vbphrase[adv_latest_journalentries]</a></strong></span>
  </td>
 </tr>
</thead>
<tbody id="collapseobj_cmps_pagesmenu" style="$vbcollapse[collapseobj_cmps_pagesmenu];text-align:$stylevar[left]">
$latestbitscmps
</tbody>
</table>

Next create a template called 'journal_latestentrybitscmps'

Paste the following and change both 'vbull' and 'http://www.nordinho.net/vbull' to your forum directory

<td class="$bgclass"><a href="vbull/journal.php?do=showentry&amp;e=$latest[entry_id]" title="$latest[entrytext]">$latest[entrytitle]</a>   
<td>
<div align="right" class="smallfont"> ($latestentrydate - $latestentrytime)</div>
</td>
</td>
<tr>
<td class="$bgclass" colspan="2">

$latest[entrytext] <br />
<span class="smallfont" style="float:$stylevar[right]">Written by:<a href="http://www.nordinho.net/vbull/member.php?u=$latest[journalist_id]">$latest[journalist]</a></span>
<br /></tr></td>

Upload the attached 'journalentries.php'

Create a new module in your cmps

- Title - Latest Blog Entries (or whatever you want)
- File to Include - journaltries.php
- Templates Used - adv_portal_latestjournalentry,
journal_latestentrybitcmps
- Use module shell - no

Click and it should be done. Live demo at http://www.nordinho.net

If you want to change the number of entries shown, look for 'LIMIT 3' in the journalentries.php file and change that to the number of entries you want.

anyone know why this isn't working for me?
