vBulletin Blog - Blog Customization

Tested with vb 3.6.8 and blog 1.0.2

*Requires the Vbulletin Blog product.

This hack extends the blog functionality by letting the users manage, in a limited way, their "styles".
They'll be able to choose a background color, color for the entries and the titles, and reorder the panels in the blog in any way they want.

Instead of all looking the same, with this hack the users have LIMITED control over their blogs.

Key functionality

• User may create "styles", as many as they want. A style consist in a background, header, second header, first and second alternating color
• User can select a style for his blog, the style is used immediately
• User can reorder the position of: "user info", "search", "calendar", "options", "last comments" and "categories"

Installation Instructions

See the included readme.txt

Changelog

• Bug fix: Guests couldn't see the custom styles
• Bug fix: Only the owner could see his style, visitors and other users saw the default

1.0.1 (Upgrade instructions: reupload the files in the "upload" directory and reimport the xml for the product)

• Fixed bug where, when "transparent" is selected, or an empty color, the message "The color is not valid" is displayed to the user
• Fixed a bug where, the icon for transparent and switch wasn't shown

No, there aren't. Seems the bug wasn't gone

I hope the third try is the charm. I updated the package, you only need to reupload the includes/functions_blog_customize.php file

Thanks a lot. Yes, there was a bug with the mod, I just updated it.
Since you run a spanish forum, I'm attaching the spanish translation too, here: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/attachmen...2&d=1195498774

I'm sorry, I didn't understand your post.
This mod brings limited customization to the blogs, style-based.

I have not vBlog, but I have to say this is a really great idea!

[hotwheels]

quick question, i just installed your mod (which is kewl), but i noticed that the page doesn't exactly center itself. I think it has to do with the size of the centerbox alignment, but not sure.
I attached an image so if you have time, you can look at it and tell me what you think.

thanks, hotwheels
