so when you clicked on comments you'd be taken to comments that are pretty much styled like showthread.php with the ability to change the display type.

It would be nice to see the comments like showthread.php making the journal entry and comments a thread unto themselves, then you could support more display views, the postbit templates, use the quick reply box as the add new comment and other bits and bats.You could potentially do stuff for journal attachments as well but that would mean changes to newattachments.php and attachment.php. However thats a big change and would mean much more intergration work.

It would however be nice to have the comments similar to postbit and postbit_legacy so you can see user avatars etc.

that is something i do not have planned and will most likely not implement as vb journal will try its best to stay separate from the forums.

I tried to upgrade but the old templates still look the same... (your signage on the bottom) and I get a database error even if I update the journals in admincp

Database error in vBulletin:

Invalid SQL: SELECT journalist_id, entry_id, journal_entries.whocanview, journal_entries.private, journal_entries.allowbuddies, jbuddylist
FROM myvb3_ journal_entries AS journal_entries LEFT JOIN myvb3_journals AS journals ON (journal_entries.journal_id=journals.journal_id)
LEFT JOIN myvb3_usertextfield AS usertextfield ON (journals.journalist_id=usertextfield.userid)
WHERE journal_entries.journal_id IN (1) AND entry_active=1

mysql error: You have an error in your SQL syntax near 'AS journal_entries LEFT JOIN myvb3_journals AS journals ON (journal_entries.jour' at line 2

mysql error number: 1064

entire editor is gone through out the site.
An obvious error in changing the hacked code. any idea what file would do that?

As in what file would handle the wysiwyg editor? or template? It seems to have disapeared thru out the site.

Thanks.

[T3MEDIA]

For some reason editor_toolbar_wysiwyg has replaced editor_clientscript template...
newpost_usernamecode
posticons these templates are not in the 3.0.x setup.
How do I adjust things back to call proper templates?
Please and thank you.

How would that happen? Please advise.

Please take a look at post #52
It happens whenever I try to goto journal.php and adjusting the admincp does nothing.... unless you need a specific edit
this was on 3.0.3 board and updating to your latest version here. your other port for 3.5 works like a charm I just have a 3.0.x site that needs updating...

it should have updated the old templates...you did not get any errors while upgrading?

AN-net I have one more question. Would it be possible to pull out the latest journal entry and display it somewhere in the user's profile if he/she has created a journal? if so could you give me some directions or ideas of how I would be able to achieve this? if you are too busy at the moment then don't worry I will try to ask someone else.

thank you.

try looking at the code in vbjournal_class.php, it has a function for recent entries, that code should give you an idea of how to use it
