vBJournal Lite 1.1b · **Released**: 09-18-2002

ATM, this hack would work with ALL versions of vB unless they renamed the 'user' table :speechless:

README.txt (can be found in the zip)

README.txt
New in 1.1b
- Edit journal.php (2 lines). New journal.php here, for 1.1a users

================================================== ===================================
================================================== ===================================
=== vBJournal Lite version 1.1b =============================================
================================================== ===================================
================================================== ===================================
This is an addon to vBulletin and acts as an online journal/diary. Users can add entries, either

making them private or public(for all to see). For the public entries, users can comment on them.

Thats about it. You should be able to get a better idea viewing a live demo at

http://sgstudents.com/forum/journal.php. The GUI was modeled after gamingforces journal at

http://www.gamingforce.com/forums/journal.php .
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
=== This being my first hack, i am SURE that there are going to be =======
=== some bugs, and problems, so just to warn you first =======
=== :: BACKUP YOUR DATABASE !

=======
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now thats over with lets start... I will list the steps of what needs to be done...
NOW :

1) Edit the images to suit your site.
2) Upload the images to the forum's /images folder.

3) Upload install_journal.php to your admin directory.
4) Run install_journal.php and follow instructions... shouldn't be a problem. but i only tested

it once .

5) Run this query (using phpmyadmin,or use this hack

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/show...&threadid=26272 , etc)

ALTER TABLE user ADD journal SMALLINT NOT NULL

[note this will add a column in your 'user' table, but i think that shouldnt be a problem ...]

6) Upload journal.php to your forum's root directory.
7) goto journal.php page and click on the button ... (should say "Get a journal" or "Unlock

Journal" Cant rem which
... bad memory. lol) this will enable the admin journal (userid=1) and show the first default

welcome msg.

8) Link to journal in postbit.
------------------------------

- open admin/functions.php

FIND

/////////////////////////////////////////////////////

$datecut = time() - $cookietimeout;

if ($counter%2==0) {
$post[backcolor]="#13486D";
$post[bgclass] = "alt1";
} else {

/////////////////////////////////////////////////////

Add ABOVE THIS

/////////////////////////////////////////////////////

// vBJournal Hack by Ryangel
if($post[journal]==1){
$journal = '<a href="journal.php?s=&journalid='.$post[userid].'&action=view"><img

src="https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/images/journal.gif" alt="View '.$post[username].'\'s Journal" border="0"/></a>';
}
else {
$journal = '';
}

/////////////////////////////////////////////////////

save and upload admin/functions.php.

9) open your postbit template and add $journal to where you want the link to show.

You are done ! The journal should be able to work now

FEW THINGS TO NOTE
------------------------------------------
- private entries can only be viewed by the owner or admin.
- erm... did i say a few? ok thats the main thing to note.... I'll edit this as it comes to my

mind. lol :laugh:

IN WORKS FOR NEXT VERSION
------------------------------------------
- incooperate moods
- better interface ( but that you can do now by editing the templates yourself

)
- Admin interface -> from admin cp.
- New user option to choose whether buddies/admin can view private entries.
- anything else that might come up from discussions.

Version Update Log
------------------

1.1a
- Fixed some table color code.
- Added template txt for manual install.

@Koss - I said to stop after adding the templates

Thats why you get the errors...

Riddel · #64 09-20-2002, 09:47 PM

Koss, are you using a journal system already? that error says that the journal table is already taken up by something. Just delete what you have there and you should be okay

afterlab · #65 09-20-2002, 11:28 PM

Does this hack block HTML out from journal entries when submitting and modifying them?

Kaelon · #66 09-21-2002, 12:20 AM

afterlab - from what I can tell, yes.

Any thoughts on the above problems I mentioned?

Is there any way that you can modify the "View All Entries" display to be multi-paged, for those users that will have hundreds of entries? Thanks!

Kaelon

ahhhh if you look carafeully into the journal.php code , you'll see alot of commented code of this. I came across a huge bug and i didnt want to spend too much time on it having time constriants.
Will add that it the future though.

Koss · #68 09-21-2002, 12:51 AM

crap I read this too late.....anyhow thanks for your help guys
everything works fine, but I had to add 37x4 templates manually *me tired* :/

When users go to add an entry to their account, they see on the breadcrumb up top a link to my standard account's Journal, not their journal.

E.g., instead of it saying

Forums > Journal > User's Journal > Add a New Entry

It says

Forums > Journal > My Standard Account's Journal > Add a New Entry

I was able to remove this issue from the template, and when you go to "edit" an entry, the breadcrumb displays properly with links.

Apparently, this is a problem happening on all installations and journals, including your demo one. Is there a way to possibly fix this? Thanks!

hmm, I'm working on this now. Wonder why no one on my board has told me about it ...

ok got it fixed.

open journal.php

find

PHP Code:


			
$journal = $DB_site->query_first("SELECT u.username, u.userid, j.journalid, j.title, j.description, j.timestamp, j.userid, j.entries, j.views   

                                FROM journal j

                                LEFT JOIN user u ON j.userid = u.userid

                                AND j.journalid = $journalid");

which is within
/* Journal Add Entry Page */

and change the AND to WHERE or just replace the above with this

PHP Code:


			
$journal = $DB_site->query_first("SELECT u.username, u.userid, j.journalid, j.title, j.description, j.timestamp, j.userid, j.entries, j.views   

                                FROM journal j

                                LEFT JOIN user u ON j.userid = u.userid

                                WHERE j.journalid = $journalid");

Nice addon. I'd like to add the link to the personal journal on my VBIndex (which is outside the forums root). How can I do this?
