Hello,

I searched this thread but I did not find the asnwer to this question:

I created moods, and everything works except in the dropdown, they don't display.

I have that same problem. They are "there" as I can select one and it will display, but the text isn't visible. Its as if it is transparent. This makes it difficult as you never what "mood" you are actually selecting. They all went through fine via the acp and like I stated, they ARE there.

**EDIT - Needed to refresh a few times and they started displaying.***

Ok I have the same problem as Devil006.

I installed everything, and no errors or anything, but it says i dont have the permissions. There is NO link the the journal admin in ASP, I looked everywhere, and there is NOTHING about the journal in usergroup setting and permissions. I'm not a noob so dont tell me i just dont see it, i've been using vB a long time, and the link isnt there. (sorry if I sound a little mean, which i'm not trying to sound) I just dont want to waste time with the responce, as I'm eager to get it working!

I see admin options for journals in my usergroups, but I don't have any additional vbjournal settings in my ACP. I've checked the vbulletin options section as well as the navigational links on the left sidebar. I've logged out and then back into the admin panel to refresh the frame. I don't see any vbjournal settings (e.g. creating moods) other than the usergroup ones.

Check within each specific usergroup. There should be a section at the very bottom for the journal settings.

why is it not recommended to use mySQL 4.1+? i'm on 4.1.13-standard-log what problems would i be facing in that case?

[Andreas]

@dn_lodge
The permission setting are in usergroup manager. If they are not there, you did install it incorrectly.

@weaver
The navigation links are in the left frame. If they are not there you installed it incorrectly.

@Wordplay
mySQL errors about conflicting collations.

For setting permissions, you need to go to your usergroup manager, then edit usergroup, then scroll down towards the bottom. You'll see options for the journal permissions. Edit permissions for each usergroup.

if you don't see it there, then you've done something wrong during the installation :ermm:

I've since read in this thread that bitfield_journalhack.xml should be imported before installing the product. Is that still the case or is that unnecessary in the newer version?

[Andreas]

bitfield_journalhack.xml can't, couldn't and can never be imported.
But it has to be uploaded before you import the product XML.

I followed the instructions in the readme file. All of the files were uploaded before I imported the product. :ermm:

ETA: I don't know if this makes a difference but the first time I installed this I uploaded the product through the product manager by browsing to where it was located on my hard drive. This second time I imported it through the server. The journal navigation is now in the ACP.
