vBJournal for VB3

[Zachariah]

I got one better .... Port http://cafelog.com/ B2 blog to each user in the forums.

Personal catagory with user name the member can only post in their own but can choose if other members may reply or not on a submission post.

Make B2 use VBCODE, smiles, VB user base ... Basically rip out the user fields and recode a few files to VB standards. ?

Why reinvent the wheel.. less code to figure out ... ect .. It offers rss feed and all that good stuff.

Could also leave blog intack and make a addon that when you reg @ the forums some of the same info is added to the blog tables.

There would also have to be some code to update user info. I would have the forums update the blog tables.

There will need to be a "login" made to login/out @ the same time.

just ideas.

Depends... How much more time will it take to finish? I look forward to seeing it either way. Thank you.

most of them type of sites run on the livejournal code, i'm sure that could be ported over to php (if it hasn't been already) then made to work for vB

• 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.

• 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.
