Well, I finally found my last issue conflicting between this hack and the V3 Articles 1.0.1 hack.

In includes/init.php

Journal has this for UserGroup permmisions:

PHP Code:


			
'canviewcomments'    => 4,

and

Articles has this for UserGroup permmisions:

PHP Code:


			
'canviewcomments'    => 2,

So, If you go into AdminCp/Usergroup Manager/Edit Usergroup and look for these 2 permissions:

Articles/ Can View Comments

Journal Permissions/ Can View Comments

If you select YES on either one of these it automatically kicks the YES and/or NO radial selection out of the other selection.

Thought I would give a heads up on this for those that may incounter this issue.

I don't have a fix for it, nor do I know why its and issue, (I can assume why) for I am not qualified to know what to do.

If anyone else know how to fix the issue it would be greatly appreciated.

Hi all

after installing this hack, it says that its installed correctly, but when I go to my http://10.3.153.138/journal.php

I get the following

you do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons:
Your user account may not have sufficient privileges to access this page. Are you trying to edit someone else's post, access administrative features or some other privileged system?
If you are trying to post, the administrator may have disabled your account, or it may be awaiting activation.
anything I need to edit or change?

I'm the sole user on this forum, it's my test forum before I upload to the live one.
thanks for your help

Regards,
Mark Vick

hi there.

I went into my user group for admin, and there is nothing for Journal.
not sure if I have missed something..

I simply downloaded the zip and installed it.
do I need to add / edit anything else?

thanks for your help.

cheers

Paul M · #**401** 10-25-2004, 10:42 AM

When you say "installed it" - did you do all the required file & template edits ?

JazzleBug · #**402** 10-26-2004, 04:00 AM

Installed beautifully - wonderful hack!

Thank you so much!

I have a question (or request). Prior to your hack, we'd been using a "journals forum" where everyone just has their own threads and cannot reply to anyone else's posts/threads. Any idea how to merge that single forum into the new journal tables in the database? If some of my members didn't have such HUGE journals already, I wouldn't even be worried about it. Any thoughts?

i could look into a query

spence2 · #**404** 10-26-2004, 08:38 PM

Would anyone know how I might go about linking to journals this way:

http://www.mysite.com/directory/jour...nal&j=username

or better yet:

http://www.mysite.com/directory/journal.php?do=showjournal&j=username's journal

rather than:

http://www.mysite.com/directory/jour...owjournal&j=13

Any help is much appreciated. Oh, and I've said it before, but it bares repeating ... AN-net, you're the greatest! Thanks again for all your hard work and for sharing it with all of us.

well j=username is possible by modifying the $journalinfo query in journal.php
