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:

------------------------------------------
- incooperate moods

- New user option to choose whether buddies/admin can view private entries.
- anything else that might come up from discussions.

how do I enter an image in the journal the way the journal is now? when posting... sort of.

The [img] tag should do the trick..

[bandersen]

I tried that... but this journal is not a forum. I have set yes on dynamic img tag. All that shows when adding an img in the journal is the code line itself. I have img showing in forums set for it.

Have you gotten this to work on your end?
Can you pls give code example...

[gmarik]

- A new folder for every user journal

- "journal_statsbits" template can be changed by every user - ther could be text links or a photography, for example, of a portrait.

- Download as txt file hack integration and Vb code in titles

- Can have multiple attachments

- A smaret views counter (maybe a vBstats hack integration)

- If the only journal in journal.php, than redirect as in AP when found only one item directly to the found one

- Zodiac and Age hack integration

- ARCHIVE SUMMARY
->View by Date
->View by Category

- Advanced search

- Notify me when someone replies to this post? and other functions from Quick Reply Box

- An "image bank" - a popup browser with uploaded imges for inserting sorted by categorys (avatar category hack integration)

Yes. The only difference being that I did it in lowercase, but that shouldn't make a difference.

[bandersen]

I've done:
Admin CP -> vBulletin Options -> Attachments -> View Images ->Yes

Admin CP -> vBulletin Options -> Posting code -> Allow Dynamic URL for [img] tags?
->no (ps. no changes if I try with a yes)

Admin CP -> Forums & Moderators -> Modify -> [edit] -> Allow BB IMG Code in post -> Yes for some forums and the image shows there.

User CP --> Edit Options --> Show image attachments and [img] code in Posts ->Yes

The size of the image is way below what I have allowed. Extension is allowed.

Still no image (or link even) showing in the journal... just plain text

what am I overlooking?

[Oblivion Knight]

Do all other bbtags and smilies work correctly with the journal for you?

[bandersen]

hm...
smileys work, but the URL and EMail tags do not (no link just plain text)

If your bbtags aren't working correctly with the journal, there was a problem with the install..

I think someone had a similar problem earler in this thread.
