vBJournal Lite 1.1b · **Released**: 09-18-2002

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
------------------

1.1a
- Fixed some table color code.
- Added template txt for manual install.

Would this page http://www.devarticles.com/art/1/110/ help anyone that understands php to create multiple pages for the journals?

ethics · #**143** 01-25-2003, 07:53 PM

Well, I finally used this. Was a breeze. Anyone who needs the templates (for the template backup import) instead of hacking the journal.php see the attached file (it has all templates used in this hack).

i've searched this thread and basically altho i saw a half answer i'm looking for a full answer (meaning not firefly's hack lol)

basically i'd like it so that when you view online.php is says who's journal you're viewing, is that possible at all?

ethics · #**145** 01-26-2003, 12:57 AM

There's no other way, but firefly's hack is fast, easy, and will work for you for many other hacks. I have soooo many different hacks installed on my board and now, with FireFly's hack. everyone knows where and what others are doing.

sabret00the · #**146** 01-26-2003, 02:10 AM

i think i'll have to try writing it myslef then :-S

sabret00the · #**147** 01-26-2003, 05:54 PM

been having a few problems with that idea, but i'll muster on

new thing tho' how do you add smilies to the addentry page and add comments page 0_o

oh and is there a way to only allow members to view journals?

ChurchMedia · #**148** 02-02-2003, 08:25 PM

Fantastic hack! Just what I was looking for.

Is there a way to let users include html or VB code in their entries?

just a suggestion, maybe add a column on the member page (members.php) with a link of all the members with a journal

Here's how to do this:

In memberlist.php find:

Code:

if ($userinfo[receivepm]) {
      eval("\$userinfo[pmlink] = \"".gettemplate("postbit_sendpm")."\";");
    } else {
      $userinfo[pmlink] = "&nbsp;";
    }

and add after:

Code:

// vBJournal Hack by Ryangel
	if($userinfo[journal]==1){
		$journal = '<a href="journal.php?s=&journalid='.$userinfo[userid].'&action=view"><img src="images/journal.gif" alt="View '.$userinfo[username].'\'s Journal" border="0"/></a>';
	}
	else {
		$journal = '';
	}
// vBJournal Hack End

In memberlist template, find

Code:

<td bgcolor="{categorybackcolor}" colspan=

Your columnspan needs to be increased by one, so if it's 7, make it 8.

In same template, find:

Code:

</tr>
$memberlistbits

Beneath that add:

Code:

<td bgcolor="{tableheadbgcolor}" align="center"><smallfont color="{tableheadtextcolor}"><b>Journal</b></smallfont></td>

In the memberlistbit template find:

Code:

</tr>

Right above that add:

Code:

<td bgcolor="{firstaltcolor}">$journal</td>

That should do it

geniuscrew · #**150** 02-04-2003, 12:47 PM

OK I deleted the first entry and I got "Deathsttryke's Journal Entries : -1"

I posted my own and my entries equalled 0 - [ makes sense]

Can you make so that either a] you can delete the welcome message or b] you can delete it but it doesn't change?

Thanks

Other than that, wicked hack!

Great hack ... anyone know a way of showing a list of all user journals?

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