• ability to easily add/remove Journal moderators in admin cp
  
• ability to disable private entries in admin cp
  
• a "report" feature for lurkers to notify the moderators
  
• link from user postbits through to user's jorunal
  
• some sort of paged organization, either by month or number of entries
  
• search capabilties (of some kind)
  
• a "last edited by" forced feature that shows if user edited journal or if moderator took action
  
• integration with a common user warning system (yes, I know this would be a huge pain)
  
• ability to list or display journals in order of who is most active/popular in last week or month (not since beginning)
  

I know these are some crazy requests, but since this is an open call for suggestions I thought I would just put down some ideas. Again, thanks for the work on Journals.

• create ability of entries and comments to apply towards poster's overall post count
  
• allow "ignore" function to be active in journal area
  
• ability for journal moderators to block or de-activate a specific poster's ability to use the journal area (similiar to forum-specific suspensions)
  
• ability for journal moderators to lock a specific poster's journal (without suspending the actual poster)
  
• ability for journal writer to decide if they do not want replies to a specific entry
  
• restrict the length of journal entries to match the number of characters allowed in normal posts (or allow a separate maximum length for journal area)
  
• ability for people to convert from other journals/blogs and transfer all of their material to the message board's journal area (I know it is crazy request, but people always ask for it)
  

I just offer these comments, feel free to sort out which (if any) are useful or relevant. Again, thanks for the work with journals.

[sabret00the]

[spence2]

Hope we haven't scared you away from completing this hack!

fyi, i was in no way demanding them features, to the best of my knowledge most of them were to be featured in kura's paid Journal system, i was just making sure they were here, if you want to add em, it'd be appreciated but it's in no way a neccessity.

no way am i gonna pay for a journal

I'm trying to fix up the currently released port of vBJournal 1.1b to make it much more stable and usable.. Progress on this can be found at EvB, and all being well should be released by the end of next week..

I'm however having a couple of problems with this, and would appreciate any help that anyone can provide.

Yeah, it's code related.. :disappointed:
The only way I could fix it is by studying showthread.php for hours and hours and see how jelsoft do it by default, which I don't really fancy doing to be honest.!

[sabret00the]

from what i read of your problem (post, not code) you might be able to do a dirty fix with a conditional and a $clause in the query so

PHP Code:

if (&page >= 1) {
$clause  = blah + 1
} else {
$clause = blah
}


// then have the query down here
SELECT (*)
FROM journal_entry
WHERE journalid = $bbuserinfo[userid]
AND $clause

lol na i mean theres some things i would pay for but journal isnt one of em
i don't mind giving my appreciation in the way of donations but paying for a journal i don't think thats worth it as its only useful as an addon script

coupled with that if i wanted to use a seperate script i'd just get a free blogger

[AN-net]

[kerplunknet]
