Miscellaneous Hacks - VB3 port of Ryangel Journal Hack

This is the VB3 port of the Journal Hack created originally by Ryangel for VB2. It was hacked by Wonko the Sane from www.shinraonline.com for our own needs and further optimized and developed by Aiky, Oblivion Knight, Sabret00the and other members of EverythingVB.com.

EverythingVB.com will be down as it undergoes an upgrade and we hope to continue this project here at vbhacks.us (which opened after we started project).

-----------------------------------------------------------------

Attached is the original journal thread from everythingvb.com for reference should anyone have problems that were previously answered along with the two latest releases of the journal hack files. Oblivion Knight explains the differences between the two as:

Quote:

1.2b contains the "cleanest" code (optimized by Bane), and is based on sabre's templates and also contains a recent MySQL fix done by me (which is why 1.1d was released).

1.1d contains the original templates by myself, but you'd probably be better off using the journal.php file contained in the other zip since there is a lot of redundant code in this one..

-----------------------------------------------------------------

Things to note:

* The journal hack works and has been successfully installed by alot of people, including myself on two clean installs. There are ALOT of manual queries and file edits... just take your time and be thurough about it and you shouldn't have a problem. If you do have an issue, you probably missed one of the edits, go back and check it and read the original evb thread (attached) to see if its been covered. Otherwise feel free to post and we'll see if we can help.

* The phrases and templates currently need to be manaully installed. An automated way of adding them has not yet been currently added. I would suggest adding the multiple phrases hack on vb.org to make your life a little easier.

Thanks for choosing vBhacks as the site to continue your developments on this hack.

I will install when this comes out of Beta, because I really dislike using Beta Hacks... >_<;

Anyway, nice job. Do you have a direct link to a demo?

1.1d Demo - http://www.gamerseuphoria.com/forum/journal.php
1.2b Demo - http://forum.xlau.com.ar/journal.php

If you receive a MySQL 1064 error when trying to run journal.php, make sure you have run the queries and updated the journal settings in the Admin CP (via vBulletin Options).

Ok, I've noticed a couple of template issues with unclosed <div> tags - I'm not sure if this problem exists with 1.2b as I am running 1.1d.. Normally these shouldn't cause too much of an issue, but in my latest design it was making the footer act bizarrely.

Open journal_display, find:
