And added this after:

PHP Code:

$entry['entrytext']= unhtmlspecialchars(stripslashes($entry['entrytext']));
$entry['entrytitle']= stripslashes($entry['entrytitle']); 


And that seems to have fixed my problem (for the entries, anyway).

You are running stripslashes twice ?

can you please post an entry or comment with the problem that is directly from the database(phpmyadmin).

edit:
is this just new entries/comments or both old & new?

[zetetic]

Paul: I don't really know. :ermm: I haven't really had a chance to look closely at what's going on here, I just did the upgrade last night and then quickly tried to fix the broken slashes showing up in entries and comments. Not really knowing what the vulnerabilities were that inspired the changes in the first place, I'm having a hard time figuring out how to fix the fix.

An-Net: This is what the entrytext from the journal_entries table looks like for a pre-upgrade entry:

This journal is going to be news-specific. I\'m interested in understanding the world. A grandiose goal, yes, but at least the world is finite. It\'s a come-down from my adolescent desire to achieve Godlike knowledge.

So to give you an idea of what I\'ll be blogging about for you to judge whether you might be interested in reading it, I will be posting and writing about current events, perhaps illuminated by my meager reading of history. I\'m quite interested in politics, as well as social issues; I like to keep up with major scientific events. I\'ll probably never post anything about sports.

And this is the entrytext from a brand new entry:

This is a test entry, created just now and usin' apostrophes in various random places, just so I can figure out what is and isn't working here.

[dsboyce8624]

Okay, fix installed, seems okay.

Thanks AN-net.

One question from my members, any way to reverse the display order so the newest entries are first?

I had a feeling this was the case, but it would be nice to have the turn on / turn off feature again. Can you advise?

ill look at this when i get home from work 2night. is it just affecting new entries or old ones as well?

[PING1434a]

Ok, did a search on this thread with no luck, My settings are not saving? What's causing that? I went back and checked the file mods, it's all there. Also I'm missing the phrases for the settings?

Edit:
Ok, i got the phrases, it was missing, just one for odd reason, can_report_entries, added it and it works now.

Settings still not saving.

Edit:
Ok got the savings working, but "Time(in seconds) Between Journal Entries,Comments, and Reportings:" still dosn't save

[Otikeu]

well, I here you'll try a v2 later on.

i am very interested in this mod, but the interface is one I do not favor. maybe something more of a blog look would help for new comers and also just a better feel of the whole system.

I love your features, just the interface drives me away ... I was checking and actually, one site I see has a cool interface. This was actually a vB2 one that was converted to a wBB board.

I attached images of the more simple Journal, but I don't like the whole "simple" thing ... I like your features, this is just a suggested user interface that seems blog-ish.

this is JUST a suggestion of a interface IDEA. Take it or not, just here to help is all.

[Icehawk002]

Just installed the latest vb journal and appears to work just fine except to problems which may not be directly to do with the journal mod.

I have also installed the vbadvanced CPMS module and the journal menu item on the index portal page 'fails' i.e. object not found

Also on the index portal page the View Journals on the left side bar fails.

Any suggestions


Aha found a solution

http://www.vbadvanced.com/forum/show...hlight=journal

[Paul M]

That link requires you to be a member of vbadvanced

I would guess it tells you to add journal.php to the CMPS list of file names to be prefixed by the forum url (in the navbar).

Only the old ones, apparently.

[crossvegas]

Hi, I just installed the script, and everything is working great, except for one little problem. After the install, I clicked on user cp to send a private message to someone.

To save myself the problem of explaining this weird problem, I made a test account for you guys to login and see for yourself.


www.crossvegas.com/forum/

login: test pass: test

Go click on the user cp and see the display problem I am referring to.

Thanks a million in advance to anyone who cares

EDIT:

I was messing around with a style and I had this happen:
