Add blog comments to your portal !

One of the main problems with the vB blog module is its poor integration with the main forum. This module allows you to show the last 5 blog comments (number is configurable) in a module on your vba portal page. It displays a short version of the comment, the blog title, and the person who commented, with built in links to the commment, user profile and the blog post itself.

This was the first and is still the only blog comments module for vBAdvanced


Features
  • Comments will not display if they have not been approved.
  • Configurable number of comments
  • Includes smilies
  • Includes URL formatting
  • Allows for text format such as bold
  • Configurable word count in comments
Instructions
Click install
Download the attached zip file
Edit blog_comments.php and change the variables to allow connection to your database.
Upload blog_comments.php to your modules directory.


From your admincp - vba cmps
Add new module
PHP file
Title - call it what you want
Active - yes
File to include - blog_comments.php
Identifier - call it what you want
Initialize BB Code Parser - YES
Select clean file output
Link - choose either blog home or comments page as you wish
Save and add to the page of your choice, the module has been designed to be a center block on the basis that long URL titles will push the margins. You can however place it where you want.

28th Feb 2009 - VERSION 2
Version 2 has been completely re-coded to make install land confiuration simpler. Rather than 2 files, there is now only one. This must be installed in the modules folder.
Allows blog titles
Allows configurable word count to be displayed
Links to user profile, blog and comment included.
Made variable changes easier in file.

why isn't there a version of this just to display the latest blog submissions instead of the latest comments?

Latest Blog Entry Mod on vBa Website
There is actually a working "Latest Blog Entry" mod but its lost on the vBa forum here:

http://www.vbadvanced.com/forum/show...189#post170123

Attached is a screen shot of it in action. You will need to read through the thread if you experience any problems getting it to work on your site. When it was first released it had many bugs which have been worked out now. However, It works best as a side block only.

I have had this installed on my site with no problems. IMHO blog mods to date are stillpoor at best when it comes to matching the full functions of the recent threads default block built into vBa.

HELLO! vbBlog is a major add-on and highly over looked when it comes to mods. Maybe we need a combined mod for both blog entries and comments with proper center and side block formating that auto adjusts and has proper columns in it's layout. I may design this myself and offer it... Might not be free though...

Table 'xxxxl_xx138x.blog' doesn't exist
The table prefix was formatted as
Code:
 $prefix = '';
Update...

It would of been helpful if the instructions mentioned the . after the prefix...
Okay so now I get a nice blank white homepage through vbadvanced. Could it be because I don't have a blog or is it something else?

I'm running vbavanced at the root of my site rather that in the forum dir if that's any help
