looBlogs - Journal/blog system I am developing

[Brad]

I have, I am currently in the process of setting up my project site so my license dose not go to waste, it will have a live preview of this hack when I feel it is ready to go up.

oooh feature request: only show XX entries per user on recent entries page.

I really can't wait to use whichever vb3 journal comes out first and is the best, as is it will be a GREAT subscriber only feature for any board.

• ability to easily add/remove Journal moderators in admin cp
• ability to disable private entries in admin cp
• a "report" feature for lurkers to notify the moderators
• link from user postbits through to user's jorunal
• some sort of paged organization, either by month or number of entries
• search capabilties (of some kind)
• a "last edited by" forced feature that shows if user edited journal or if moderator took action
• integration with a common user warning system (yes, I know this would be a huge pain)
• ability to list or display journals in order of who is most active/popular in last week or month (not since beginning)

I know these are some crazy requests, but since this is an open call for suggestions I thought I would just put down some ideas. Again, thanks for the work on Journals.

• create ability of entries and comments to apply towards poster's overall post count
• allow "ignore" function to be active in journal area
• ability for journal moderators to block or de-activate a specific poster's ability to use the journal area (similiar to forum-specific suspensions)
• ability for journal moderators to lock a specific poster's journal (without suspending the actual poster)
• ability for journal writer to decide if they do not want replies to a specific entry
• restrict the length of journal entries to match the number of characters allowed in normal posts (or allow a separate maximum length for journal area)
• ability for people to convert from other journals/blogs and transfer all of their material to the message board's journal area (I know it is crazy request, but people always ask for it)

I just offer these comments, feel free to sort out which (if any) are useful or relevant. Again, thanks for the work with journals.

Also is it possible to make the journals only viewable by certain usergroups, regardless of private or public entries? EG, guests can see that they are there but not read them unless the owner hits an override button.

Will it be possible to import from the vB2 Journal by Ryangel ??

Hi,
sorry for trivial question. Can you explain me litle what is blog? I know that it is kind of writing system, that you can pos your writing. But what is it genneraly used for? What is the diferrence between blog and news? It just another name for CMS? I also heard, that some blog-site cooperate somehow..... just still not clear enough to me...

thanks
Kafi

blog actually is short for web log.. it was originally intended as a sort of online journal/diary.. except that they are normally open for public view and comment.. nowaday, people use them for link spam and weird stuff..

i have never been interested in them, but everyone seems to be.. was hoping one of these people who said they could code one in a few days would hurry up after these past few months and get one out.. i may not be into them, but i am sure some of my users would be and it would be a decent addition..
