The screenshots are indeed nice.

It does have a lot more features than vbjournal currently has.

Falls short of what wordpress has.

aaah what would live be without choices If I start writing for myself I'll get in direct competition with vbjournal and wordpress is flexible and I like it as a blog tool.

Vbulletin could use a major blog tool. Hell of a coding job to write it all.

You all have the floor, talk to me and together we'll figure it out.

Yes YEs Yes I would be interested for both my sites

I'm with you all the way sweetie :bunny:

what ever you chose ...i am in.........

was just interested on how much the invision blog was taking from the DB and wether it has its own db or was it integrated...have not read the discription though......i must read a bit...lol

I wonder ...

Our Board is very specific and the users are very creative and many of them try to start their own blog. So why are they doing it? I am quite sure, that they are looking for something of their own. They want to create something by themselves and especially for themselves.
That's the way it is and I couldn't stop them, but my website looses their traffic. Most of those users are - how could it be - very important to the board and their knowledge is in many ways incomparable.

So what I - and I think the rest of you too - really need is a blog system, which is easy to handle and gives the users all the freedom and the possibillities they are looking for.

@stonyarc
I think you are going to far with your mod.
Make it in several steps.
1. only users in a special second usergroup can write blogs.
2. the user joins this open usergroup
3. the admin of the board needs a button to start the process of creating the blog for these users - more comfortable it works automatic by accepting the user in the usergroup
3. the passwords and usernames should be identical and use the DB of the board
4. the search engine of the board should integrate the blogs

This concept doesn't need a full integration in the admincp and doesn't care about the updates of the single users wordpress versions. That's their problem. You can offer help, but I don't think, that many of them will need it.


Thanks for listening and a beer to your health if it's all bullshit I wrote.

The process is currently already working as you describe it but glad to see it confirmed. (php installer I wrote for wordpress)

I just want it to be manageable.

100 blogs means 1000 tables in some cases that will kill your server.

Bringing the function within vbulletin can solve that partially.

I strongly agree with peterle1. That's just the thing I'd need too.
Our board is about Trekking and Outdooractivity and users like to report about their adventures and trips. vBJurnal which is currently installed doesn't meet their needs for having something for their own. One told me he couldn't write anything in vbJournal (I called it 'Blog'), which he couldn't specify at the open discussion forum at my board.

Like peterle1 says, it's also an issue about keeping them in your forum. So I would add point #6 (OT @ peterle1: hast du gesehen, dass du Ziffer 3 doppelt verwendet hast?):

6. postcount in the forum should be increased whenever a user writes an entry in his wordpress-blog or gets a comment.

I think this depends on the kind of mood, in which the users are. I my case many of them don't like the posting counter, but none of them wants us, to turn it off. :knockedout:
So this is one point, but I don't think it is to important - at least for me.

As a matter of fact I don't like killed servers and I have no idea about the programming background this mod will need, but if you need any help cry it out, because I know, where to get the beer.

Allright, if you will realy finish the job and bridge wordpress to vb as you are planning it, then I will be glad to offer up to 100$ per year for a working and living mod.

Thanks for all, even if you go down on the last two meters. :bunny:

Same with me. But there should be the possibilty at least, maybe to turn it on and off again.

And I'll join you with this!
