Add-On Releases - vBulletin Diary

What is it ?
It's a simple diary for your vBulletin. It looks like a blog, but isn't.
Users can write their entries into the diary. If they like, they can crypt the entries (base64) [prepared for mcrypt (but isn't implemented].
There are NO comments for diary entries !!! A diary is personal.

vB Diary uses it's own calendar. Each user has his own diary. All entries can only viewed by the user itself (there is NO right for any other - also administrator(s), moderator(s), ...). Each diary page is a whole day, but a day can contain more than one entry.

Each user also have a friendship book, were other users can write in (13 personal questions about f.e. "favorite drink", "favorite color" ...). User can only edit their friendship entries - the diary user can delete it.

If you like, you can allow guests to have a diary, too.

But remember:
Each guest write into the same diary and guest can't have a friendship book or write into it.
I haven't tested guest enough ... but I think, lots of SPAM-Bots will write into it.

Installation:
Quick & easy (there is NO documentation). Upload all files (in the "upload" folder) onto your server. Go into your AdminCP and import the product. Go into Usergroups and set the Permission for EACH usergroup.
Create a link into your Navbar -> diary.php
Remember:
There is no AdminCP and no Options (Settings) for the diary.

Demo:

Hey, once again a great mod! One Question: Is it possible, to choose date in future for diary entries? I know, it seems a litte bit strange for a diary, but i like to use this modification in another way. Would it be possible to set dates in future?

Thanxs and greetings,
Peter

Yes, it's a little bit strange. But ...
in diary_newentry.php
search

if ($new_dateline > TIMENOW) $new_dateline = TIMENOW;

and change into:

// if ($new_dateline > TIMENOW) $new_dateline = TIMENOW;

Hey, liking this mod

Is there any way on calander view to reduce the size of the previous/next month? It's outwith the main width of my forum and needs some tweaking!

Cheers,
Martyn

[Coroner]

Not really to reduce.

In the Template "diary_calendar_main" you will found the following code:

   <table cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" style="width:100%" class="tborder">
    $prev_month
   </table>
   <br />
   <table cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" style="width:100%" class="tborder">
    $this_month
   </table>
   <br />
   <table cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" style="width:100%" class="tborder">
    $next_month
   </table>
   <br />

This is the whole "left" site of the calendar

@Coroner, if you wanna put that in the first post with phrases, I don't mind.

I suddenly started getting a MySQL error when trying to select the calendar:

Database error in vBulletin 3.8.3:

Invalid SQL:

AND dateline BETWEEN 1257048000 AND
