Display thread as a Blog · **Released**: 03-22-2005

I banged this out fairly quicky but it does seem to work OK on my forum. Additional testers would be welcome though.

What it does.

Displays a single thread in reverse chronological order as a "blog".

New files: 1
New templates: 2
File edits: 0

Installation.

Copy blog.php in your forum directory.

Create 2 new templates (BLOG, blogbits) using the attached files.

Usage:

http://www.yourforum.com/forums/blog.php?t=12345

Displays thread 12345 in reverse chronological order. If there are more entries than a single page worth then page selection controls will be displayed.

New blog entries may be made by clicking on the Reply icon.

From the instructions...

Usage:

Did you specify a thread (the t=12345 part)?

This looks like it has a lot of potential, but is very beta. I put up a slightly modified version at http://www.greenhybrid.com/discuss/blog.php?t=2406 but it's virtually unusable in its current state. Are you planning on developing this into a full-blown hack and what would the ETA be on that?

I like people to be able to respond to my Blog, but I would like to see a more blog-like reply system with the number of replies mentioned in the lower right corner, and a link to a separate page with the replies listed.

I'd like to use this to offer my members a forum to write up their own blogs. I have a military website and blogs are becoming quite frequent in the military so I think this could have potential for my site but how would I go about setting up a forum that only displays the threads created there as blogs instead of the normal display?

I see how to make a thread display in the blog format but how would one do it by default in only one specific forum?

Ok, I've got the option in the Thread tools to view it as a blog, but I'm still at a loss as to how I can make it the default way to view the thread in specific forums.

Can't you just iframe it?

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
