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?

[Blackhat]

Is there possible to have a "recent journal entries" list as a sideblock on forumhome and how ?

Thanks

Try renaming your template 'journal_latestentrybitscmps' to 'journal_latestentrybitcmps' (without the -s-)

Great that worked It's always the smallest thing that creats the biggest problem!
One last thing. The title isn't showing on the module even though it's set via AdminCP.

Also how would I change the time font color?

Check if there's a phrase 'vbphrase[adv_latest_journalentries' in your phrases and edit it the way you want...

You can change the time color font by replacing the class="smallfont" in the div (template 'journal_latestentrybitcmps') with another class...

I don't have a listing for adv_latest_journalentries in my phrases

Add it ...or you can just hardcode it...by replacing the phrase in the template...

I'm trying to use this to add the recent entries at forumhome, but how can I include the journalentries.php file there ?

Are there any screenshots?
