vBulletin Blog - vBdiary & vBblog - Convert a forum into a diary or weblog (blog) forum.

Notice: This mod is no longer being developed by the original author. As of today (1-1-2008) it will be continued by Laura!

This mod will enable you to convert a forum into a diary of weblog (blog) forum. A diary or blog can be started by any user who has permissions to post in the forum and only the author of the diary is able to post entries.

The autor of the diary is able to protect the diary with a password so that only users (also guests) who know the password are able to view the diary or blog.

This mod may contain some bugs as I did not yet test it extensively. Please let me know if you find any bugs and I will work on it. Feature requests are also verry welcome!

Have Fun!
Jan Jaap

Updates:

• v1.1
  • Diary Forum Display
  • Diary Thumbnails (professional, using the vBulletin Avatar thumbnail management system)
  v1.2
  • vBBlog extension
  • Comments page (comments per diary/blog entry)
  • Customized Diary/Blog template wich shows the post date for diaries and entry title for blogs in a <h2> tag.

This mod makes use of the original vBulletin systems so it will perform on a big high traffic forum. Aprox. 30 hours have been invested in this mod so far. Ofcourse also a lot of study work to get to know the vBulletin systems like Postbit factory and datamanager.

No template edits are needed, all is managed via the plugin system, a onetime install and further configuration from the original vBulletin forum adminpanel.

I get this when I try to add .xml

Database error in vBulletin 3.6.4:

Invalid SQL:
ALTER TABLE `forum` ADD `is_diary` INT( 5 ) NOT NULL DEFAULT '0';;

MySQL Error : Duplicate column name 'is_diary'
Error Number : 1060

a small issue, but not nice to view.

after editing phrases for german and english language
the colon " : " went to the next line (see attachment).

this issue appears only when creating a blog and not
when creating a diary thread.

didn't find a fix right now.

Error in the ACP. No announcement. see screenshout

[Cocko]

Try to make a thread / diary sticky and have a look how
thrad listings looks like..

[MrNase]

Well done!

It would be very good if you keep the first post updated with a list of the things you already worked on and with a list of things that might not work at the moment.
From what I've read you spent some time fixing some bugs but others still exist or did you already fix them?

What do you mean by 'unfinished work on the showpost system'?
