I am sorry if this question was addresses already but my eyes started crossing around page 18...

I was wondering if it was possible to use the advanced editor (Formatting tools, smilies, etc...) on the journal page?

Thanks in advance.

Thanks in advance.

you can use smilies and codes and stuff but the regular/wysiwyg editors do not exist at this time.

[vonedaddy]

Some more questions:

Is there a way to show the last post first instead of it starting with the first post? This will help when getting to a second page. If there is already an option I appologize but I must have missed it.

Sorry...no, I've looked over all of it and found nothing wrong. I had to apply a couple of the file edits after the install because of additional conflicts, but that's it.

Would like some help, please.

I had to change the files listed here:

you see how the can see the comments after each entry?

The way it is now its confusing you see all comments on the bottom its odd.
And users would like to remove double postings but they cant. its almost
like there isn't a delete for comments.

Please respond I have a fairly large site this is installed on.
Thank you.

sorry didnt realize you have to be a member to see the view. but all comments are in each entry

[GraphicW]

Has anybody got any answers for my questions a few posts above? For the time being, I have gone on ahead and set all journals to moderate. That more or less accomplishes my goal for now.

[Flow Fusion]

Installed and thanks.

[bigtime]

The journal has been working great for my site. Don't have any bad experiences. Here's my link if you want to take a look:

Also, there seems to be "11" permission options, but, only "3" are viewable: 1. Can View Comments 2. Can Edit Journal Entries 3. Can Delete Own Journal Entries...all others are blank.

How can I fix this?

Please read the first post this issue has been resolved so many times now

[G3MM4]

Ok I installed this hack, but there are only 3 phrases showing in the Usergroups in ACP. I ran the phrasefix.php file, and it showed "PHRASES FIXED", but it changed nothing. So I went to this page, but I don't know which file to apply the changes to? So please can someone help here? Below is my current phrase search for 'journal' (w/o the quotes) in Permissions.

Permissions Phrases Containing 'journal'

can_comment_journals
can_delete_own_journal
can_edit_own_journal
can_have_journal
can_rate_journals
can_search_journal
can_view_journal

I'm having the same issue cept I don't even see a vbjournal section in my User Group Manager. In the install instructions, it says
"6.Conduct file edits and follow "save and upload" instructions
7.Do Template Edits
8.Do Template Additions"
but I'm kind of a beginner and I need a little more direction than that.
Its very possible I just didn't do something in the install I need to do, but I did follow all the specific steps. My journaladmin page is just an empty "Manage Journals" table with no options to do anything: http://www.doggiebagonline.com/forum...urnaladmin.php

And I don't have a way to access that php doc without directly typing in the url. Am I supposed to have a link within my admincp?

[Dark Shogun]

Just trying to find out if anyone has found a solution to the parse errors when adding the templates.

if you did the file edits and uploaded and overwrite the old files it should all work. make sure you did all this.

WHY THE SHOUTING??? :down:

I did read the first post (of the thread that is, and several pages after that! :cross-eyed: Not good at reading lots of posts online!!!), still no help. If you meant the post you made above, sorry but that is no help either as FYI I did all the edits etc (from instructions supplied), carefully. I even went over them another couple of times since I thought I'd gone wrong somewhere, but came up with nothing. Everything works, apart from the phrases I mentioned. I don't know much about these things so I'd appreciate it if you was more specific.

My users will complain if they can't use the journals because I can't allow them to have free run over the journals since I don't know what I'm allowing them to do.
