I'll be impressed if someone can do that. Live journals are customizable and as such, the HTML is never generally the same, in some cases not even Close to being similar. Very hard to separate content from markup that way...

wouldn't it just be a matter of looking for certain strings?

Nope, I know for a fact that the html output from Livejournals (for example) is incredibly awful and has NO useful identifiers whatsoever that you could use in a regexp to gather the desired data (ie. the journal content itself).

I've not yet encountered an online journal site where they've done proper HTML markup that's thusly useful that we could fetch the data automatically. If you can show me one that does it consistently, I could write an importer for that specific one, though, but I don't know if it's worth the hassle....

Kura, great hack!
Later on, I'll write my huge wishlist for the deluxe version, as for now - good luck! Any deadlines for the first release allready known? The public release?!

Respect, Marco

No release dates planned yet, at all.

I'll be able to give an indication somewhere in december

can't wait as long as the layout doesn't differ from the vbJL version my users shouldn't be too baffled, but saying that i doubt that'll happen as your users have no idea what vBJL is lol

oh well atleast it seems like 1 hack down and only really 3 to go.

The overview layout will be very different, and there will be some differences to the journal layouts as well (for much bigger efficiency and userfriendliness). However, as said, the display style of Journal entries (ie. overview of titles, then one entry per page with comments, OR overview of entries with separate page for viewing the comments) will be a user-setting (that the Admin can globally enable/disable if desired).

The deluxe version will definitely be able to compete, as it has a lot of Very useful features for your entire site, not just the Journal part

(stuff that LJ etc. don't have)

I'll not go into details (though if you hang out in #Kura on the Devcore irc network you would've known some of it already

), all I'm gonna say here is that the Deluxe edition of my Journal System will provide functionality for any average site with a community, that far exceeds being 'just' a Journal system.

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
