I have an older version of Ryangel's Journal hack installed on my board and with a bunch of fussing and some help from experiened coders have things working quite nicely... except for one small glitch. If a member edits a journal entry it defaults to public status rather than what it was set to originally. 95% of the time this isn't an issue as most journals are public but the other 5% that were intended to be private have caused embarrassement to their owners when they didn't notice the setting changed back to public when they edited it. What I need is for the radio buttons for "Public" & "Private" to select whatever was already set in the database originally. The journals table has a field called "private" with either a 0 or 1 to denote the entry's status. Looking through ther php file I found the folowing queries which don't seem to be complete for status;

Then in the VB journal template "Public" is marked as checked="checked";

What I'm after here is for "checked" to = what the person selected in the first place. Any guidance on this would be much appreciated.

I'll download it and take a look.

I downloaded the Journal hack and I cannot find those radio buttons

Awww nuts! The hack must have been revised far more than I had expected since I first installed it. Either way it seems I've got it sorted. It took me longer than I had hoped to figure it out and have no idea if it's "technically" correct but it's working. I added the following to the journal script;

...then dropped $checked and $checked2 into either button option in the template. Appreciated the effort all the same harmor!

I downloaded the hack and couldn't find the radio buttons.

I was going to do the same but different.

Our codes are very similiar.
