I'm not positive if all the bugs are gone, but at least I can view and edit the blogs now.

In journal.php, find:

PHP Code:

$vbulletin->journal_opt = unserialize($vbulletin->journal_opt);
$setting =& $vbulletin->journal_opt; 


Replace with:

PHP Code:

// $vbulletin->journal_opt = unserialize($vbulletin->journal_opt);
// $setting =& $vbulletin->journal_opt; 


Haha, was that simple or what? I stopped getting database errors on my main page with this quick fix.

this isn't my code though but that removes your settings. i.e. turning it on or off, how many blogs are on index. everything in your journal admin cp will not take affect.

3.6.x brought table changes to datastore, which is causing the errors. Your fix will break the modification even more.

Are you working on a port to 3.6.4 for this, AN-net? Is anyone?

It seems to be working fine for me on 3.6.4 for the most part, but I had to disable the "edit jbuddylist" plugin because it was apparently stepping on the regular buddy/ignore lists. Specifically, when I would add someone to my buddy or ignore lists their name wouldn't be automatically entered into the field on the options page. So I'd have to type it in manually then click save changes to ignore someone or add a buddy.

Does anyone know how to get the admin permissions to save? I did it once before but dont remember what I did, all it does is when I click "Yes" on administer journal and click save, it goes back to no

Guys

I installed vbjournal on http://www.DomainSocial.com about 6 months ago, and it broke during the upgrade to 3.6.

I see that a few people can get this working. I have read through most of the thread but am not sure what I can do to get it working again..

Can someone just recap what I should do?

Thanks a lot

Zach

It would be great!

AN-net, sorry if it's impractical. All I know is my fix that breaks it even more got rid of a nasty database error I was having on every journal page.

Also, I'm pretty sure my quick fix comments out the datastore... and that's all it is, a quick fix.

I just wanted to say "Thanks!" for this great mod! Keep up the good work!

i was just warning you of the implications as in Andreas' code, he uses the datastore to load the settings from the admincp.
