vBJournal Lite 1.1b

ATM, this hack would work with ALL versions of vB unless they renamed the 'user' table :speechless:


README.txt (can be found in the zip)


README.txt
New in 1.1b
- Edit journal.php (2 lines). New journal.php here, for 1.1a users

================================================== ===================================
================================================== ===================================
=== vBJournal Lite version 1.1b =============================================
================================================== ===================================
================================================== ===================================
This is an addon to vBulletin and acts as an online journal/diary. Users can add entries, either

making them private or public(for all to see). For the public entries, users can comment on them.

Thats about it. You should be able to get a better idea viewing a live demo at

http://sgstudents.com/forum/journal.php. The GUI was modeled after gamingforces journal at

http://www.gamingforce.com/forums/journal.php .
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
=== This being my first hack, i am SURE that there are going to be =======
=== some bugs, and problems, so just to warn you first =======
=== :: BACKUP YOUR DATABASE ! =======
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now thats over with lets start... I will list the steps of what needs to be done...
NOW :

1) Edit the images to suit your site.
2) Upload the images to the forum's /images folder.

3) Upload install_journal.php to your admin directory.
4) Run install_journal.php and follow instructions... shouldn't be a problem. but i only tested

it once .

5) Run this query (using phpmyadmin,or use this hack

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/show...&threadid=26272 , etc)

ALTER TABLE user ADD journal SMALLINT NOT NULL

[note this will add a column in your 'user' table, but i think that shouldnt be a problem ...]

6) Upload journal.php to your forum's root directory.
7) goto journal.php page and click on the button ... (should say "Get a journal" or "Unlock

Journal" Cant rem which
... bad memory. lol) this will enable the admin journal (userid=1) and show the first default

welcome msg.

8) Link to journal in postbit.
------------------------------

- open admin/functions.php

FIND

/////////////////////////////////////////////////////

$datecut = time() - $cookietimeout;

if ($counter%2==0) {
$post[backcolor]="#13486D";
$post[bgclass] = "alt1";
} else {

/////////////////////////////////////////////////////

Add ABOVE THIS


/////////////////////////////////////////////////////

// vBJournal Hack by Ryangel
if($post[journal]==1){
$journal = '<a href="journal.php?s=&journalid='.$post[userid].'&action=view"><img

src="https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/images/journal.gif" alt="View '.$post[username].'\'s Journal" border="0"/></a>';
}
else {
$journal = '';
}

/////////////////////////////////////////////////////


save and upload admin/functions.php.

9) open your postbit template and add $journal to where you want the link to show.


You are done ! The journal should be able to work now

FEW THINGS TO NOTE
------------------------------------------
- private entries can only be viewed by the owner or admin.
- erm... did i say a few? ok thats the main thing to note.... I'll edit this as it comes to my

mind. lol :laugh:

IN WORKS FOR NEXT VERSION
------------------------------------------
- incooperate moods
- better interface ( but that you can do now by editing the templates yourself )
- Admin interface -> from admin cp.
- New user option to choose whether buddies/admin can view private entries.
- anything else that might come up from discussions.


Version Update Log
------------------

I've now read this thread again.... I see people asking the same as I.. but none of those posting a solution...
Perhaps better wait for the new update as I read the code was to be redone anyways. Thanks for the support Oblivion Knight!

Adding the AP things. Only the first part.

// Step 2
if ($install=="2") {

$DB_site->query("INSERT INTO settinggroup VALUES (126, 'Journal Pro', 126)");
$DB_site->query("INSERT INTO setting VALUES (NULL,126, 'Mini Calendar', 'valid', '1', 'Do you wish to have a mini calendar with links to posts?', 'yesno', 1)");
$DB_site->query("INSERT INTO setting VALUES (NULL,126, 'WYSIWG panel', 'valid', '1', 'Do you wish to have a WYSIWG panel when submiting / editing an entry?', 'yesno', 1)");
$DB_site->query("INSERT INTO setting VALUES (NULL,126, 'Short / Full Entrys', 'valid', '1', 'Do you wish to have short article linkinking to the full artcile?', 'yesno', 1)");
$DB_site->query("INSERT INTO setting VALUES (NULL,126, 'Random photo', 'valid', '1', 'Do you wish to have a random photo in your journal profile?', 'yesno', 1)");
$DB_site->query("INSERT INTO setting VALUES (NULL,126, 'Archive / Static HTML', 'valid', '1', 'Do you wish to have an archive by months and create static html from php files?', 'yesno', 1)");

echo "Adding field to vBulletin Options....<br>";
echo "..<b>Journal Professinal Settings have been added successfully!</b><br><br>";
echo "<b><a href='$PHP_SELF?install=3'>[Continue Installation]</a></b>";
}

da, spasibo boljshoe? :-) "yes, I wish to have".... and perhaps able to register on tomorrows date / coming weeks too....

[gmarik]

Pozaluista ) The problem is - don't have the time and knowledge. We defiantely need somebody, who could become the big remaker of this great hack.

[Intex]

I believe Amiloo said she would be looking at it, but I guess its not one of her priorities, especially after joining the vB.org team.

[Ryangel]

Will be working on it again, starting sometime this week. Stay tuned but no promises. busy busy busy ...

[bandersen]

Great... I wish someone would include the features mentioned here. If you need a tester PM me.

[Crinos]

Hmmm, I made mine like that by just replacing this in journal.php:

PHP Code:

/*
if ($bbuserinfo[userid]==0) {
  show_nopermission();
}
*/ 


with this:

PHP Code:

if ($bbuserinfo[userid]==0) {
  show_nopermission();
} 


Basically just uncomment it

[redd]

I hope this still works with vB3.

[Koutaru]

It's not, vB3's coding has been completely reconfigured.
