Kirby, something to maybe consider in a future release...
In the Journal Settings, it might be a good feature to have where you can set the language that is used in the system. Such as "Blog" instead of "Journal", or something similar.

It's not too difficult to Find / Replace, just thinking it may be a slick addition.

The other thing would be maybe an online xml version of the journal, and an RSS syndicate link where people can publish their journal entries elsewhere. (This could easily tie into Zero's RSS system, or one of the other ones out there.)

Hopefully this makes sense.

There won't be any new featurss until this is stable.
However, making it fully phrased is planned for the near future.

Cool, I've got it installed on a 350k+ post / 20k+ user community, and it seems to be working well. No bugs as of yet. I'll let you know if I find any.

Install went fine, I thought, but I get this when I try and edit permissions:

Invalid SQL:

Do you have amykhar's Userpage Hack installed by any chance?
If so, it is not installed correctly and the cause for this Error.

[.Tim]

I did, thought I removed it but guess not. I'll take a look. Thanks.

[FleaBag]

Excellent work Kirby once again, you work very hard you deserve some credit! On a side note, as I am using an older version of mySQL than 4.0.4 - what exactly will NOT happen if I try to install this?

[Andreas]

Private entries/journals that are allowed to be viewed by Journal Buddies or Users in "Who Can View" will not be updated, so they won't show up even if you are one of the Users who has permission to view unless they are edited (just click edit and save afterwards).
Also, if the last entry of a Journal is private it might show up on the journal index if you do not have permission to view it.

[FleaBag]

Ah that's cool... There was minimal use of private journals on my site so can't see it causing many issues!

Actually it's a bug. It was on, whether you belive me or not. I had to turn it OFF, save, and then turn it BACK on.

That did the trick. I suggest you look into this as I'm sure a lot of people will have issues with this.
