EX: journal.php?do=showjournal&j=1

User(s) see's X amount of entries per page.

I would like to see a char limit (500-1000) option and a link to the "full story + comments" per entry. @ the moment a user can post a book (scroll 5-10 pages)vs. small "previews" and click [more].

Just some thoughts.

I'm looking to use this hack on an upcoming site of mine.. what I'm interested to know if is it will be possable for admins to set specific members as "featured" journal writers..

I'll go into a bit more detail.. my site is about the paranormal, and so the main forums are going to be used for posts on that topic, i'll be using one of the cool article hacks to post things like reviews on books (such as the da vinci code, for example), and this wonderful journal system for people to keep records of their own paranormal experiances.

Thing is, a few of the members, espiclaly the mods, are people who have dealings with the paranormal every day (such as member of a spiritulist church, a tatrot reader, etc..), and so, while all the other members journals are still worth something - these specific members journals will be far more, uumm, *interesting*, as well (i hope) updated far more often.

Due to this, what I'd be keen on doing is setting a couple of the members as "featured" journals, and somehow have their entries highlighted.. and maybe shown at the top of the list, etc... - you know?

I might even take this as far as having these specific members journals directly listed and linked to from the sites front page.. but that's more of an advanced feature... all I'm keen to know right now is if the idea of setting specific members as features is possable, and if it's currently not, how hard would it be to implament?

well you could add to the journal table a field that indicates if its a featured journal etc. or you can simply have them add it to the title of their journal Such as : "Featured Journal: xxx".

but it would require some php editing and database changes if you were to fully implement it

[Ninth Dimension]

OK, that sounds easy enough... it's kind of what I was thinking anyway... I was just wondering if you might already have it implamented already...

I noticed you talked about future releases? I was wondering, when might these happen? if at all? Last thing I want to do is use this hack, mod it to my own needs, the find you've released an update (which I either won't be able to use, or i'll have to mod yet again).

Thx.

there will be a future release but when is uncertain since it has yet to be started. once released there will be major changes to the structure and code so you most likely have to modify the file again at least

So I have just been installing the journal system over the past day and I think I have everything but 2 bugs worked out. Both of these seem to be template errors. I've been going over templates now for hours and I'm just burnt. I thought I'd post here to see if someone would be kind enough to give me a gentle shove in the right direction.

Running vBulletin: 3.0.6
vBJournal: v10.0
website: screamingelectron.org

Attached are the screen shots of the two errors I get.

Thanks for the any input!

*Update*

I got the template error in error2.jpg fixed up now. Still having the problem with error1.jpg

*/Update*

*Update 2*

Got the first template error worked out now. Nice mod! Great Work!


*/Update 2*

What would it take to add say 5-10 varchar text fields to the journal? I would like to use this hack as a Dive log system but in order for it to be functional it needs to collect some additional information and I'm wondering how feasible that would be. Thank you!

well you would have to modify certain templates, some parts of the file, and add new fields to the journal or entry table

So nothing overly complex? I'll give it a shot. Thanks for the amazing hack!

you currently can not edit comments...

AN-net - I've missed about 20 pages of comments, and did a search by post and didn't see if you did it yet but has there been an importer written for the old vB3 port of Ryangel's hack?
