Well, I'm going to work on reorganizing that, I was just handed whatever code that our last php guy did, and started working with it, I'll get stuff like that dealt with when the time comes.

tada, it's up.

www.shinraonline.com/board/journal.php

templates still need work, and the code still needs major revisions, buuuuut, it works in vb3 without screwing up anywhere.

[sabret00the]

what's on the official features list?

[Wonko of Shinra]

Hmm.

It's basically the same as the vbJournal 1.1b By Ryangel, but with some enhancements

features would be...

• Users can post Public and Private journal entries
• (new) Journal entries are divided up into pages
• (new) Each Journal has it's own comment thread like system (will be adding feature to toggle between entry centric and general comment thread later)
• (new) comment subject heading, that way the reader knows which entry you're talking about, if one at al.
• (new) Journal Buddy List, designed if you don't want to go hunting for your friends journal, it's now quick and easy to find

I may of forgotten a few, but it's a little early in the morning for me still

not bad, if you haven't already read the thread kura pointed too, what he seems to have planned for the journal system is drool worthy.

Well, I've been working on it on and off, I've added a few things to it, Like page support, journal buddy lists, thread style comment pages, comment titles that default to Re: journal entry name.. blah blah blah

to see vb2 hacked version in action www.shinraonline.com/board/journal.php

I've got the vb3 version working on my beta server from home, the templates are still a mess, there's major 'counting' issues on most of the entries, but that's pretty much cosmetic. I'll be upgrading shinra tomorrow night to vb3 and adding my modified code for the journal hacks, so if you like what you see, let me know. and I'll put more work into fixing it up and releasing it.

I don't know anythign about vb.org so like umm.. the original hack was vbJournal 1.1b By Ryangel.

Tootles!

It looks good on Shinraonline.

I'd be interested in using this (whilst waiting for Kura's journal update - hint, hint). Any idea when it will be available?

I'm currently using vb3 rc4, but with the journal running off my old vb2 site. It's a real mess in terms of cookies, new users etc etc, so any improvements would be most welcome.

[Wonko of Shinra]

Well, I can put it up now if you want, Reeve's put out an email to the creator of the previous hack, to make sure it's alright that I release this.

the templates are still full of ugly vb2 code, and I have one bug left that I want to hammer out and I'll toss it up in the betas section and link you

I will only partially support this hack. because I want to have time to do my school work and work on this archiving hack I'm doing for the shinra writing community (currently not really working in any shape form www.shinraonline.com/wbarchive.php )
