Wanted: Testers for vBJournal for vBulletin 3.5

[Andreas]

I did not enter any moods, but I'll do so now for testing purposes.

Edit: Done. Not many and kinda lame as they are standard Smilies

Now that the images are fixed, I can see the rating system and mood smilies.
Nice!

Very Nice Kirby, I signed up as HAL-9000. I find this hack to be most excellent, it seems pretty functional right now even. Hopefully we see a release in the coming weeks.

The only thing I could think of wanting perhaps, would have the comments featured underneath the entry when you click on the individual entry. Not sure how possible this would be, but it'd be cool to see them underneath my entry.

Why is the default journal display option set to

sort By: Journal Start Date
sort order: Ascending

How about changing the default display options to

sort By: Last Entry's Date
sord order: Descending

that way when members visit the journals they see active journals on the first page and not a bunch of journals started long ago and not necessarily with any entries in them.

Just checking lol

If I already have vbjournal for 3.0, I don't need to do anything to make them work for the 3.5 version??

Hey Kirby,

I was just starting building my own Blog system hack for vb, but something came up and I'll be busy with some other projects, and since you are porting an existing one and adding new features to it, which should be better having one official Journal's system for all of us to use.

AN-net, sure, I just gathered some information from here and there and wanted to have everything in one place, I know most of the features are already there, I wouldn't think of something new, it's a Journal system!
Did not mean to credite my self, and never said so, atleast I wouldn't post it here!
I was just trying to help and participate with you all!
