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.

What were the errors that mysql gave you?

Wow!

Can you anyone tell me how this compares with the vbJournal shown here:

http://www.vbhacks.us/forum/showthread.php?t=481

That version also on this forum was also a port of Ryangel's vb2 hack. However, I found a number of "bugs" and incompletely implemented features.

The main problems with THE OTHER hack was that clicking comment shows all the comments in the entire journal, journal buddies was not implemented. That hack also miscounts posts when deletions are made.

This hack looks like the one to have?

Regards,

Matt

Does anybody have any idea how to do this because I urgently need to get rid of somebody's journal who is abusing it. As admin I have no way of editing posts or locking journals. I can only edit comments.

edit - take that back, seems I only have editing power over the comments in my own journal.
