zCommunity 0.8.1 Beta
by Charles Hill
Description:Powerful and flexible blog add-on for your Simple Machines forum. Tons of options and features for one or an infinite number of blogs. Use the Blogging Community mode to add a blogging community to your site or be selfish and just have your own blog.
Extreme flexibility because of the huge number of both admin-only options and individual blog settings. You could have a community blog in which all your members can post articles. You could have a blog in which only a select few members can post. You could even have a wiki-style blog in which literally anybody can post/modify articles (even guests). This is possible because you can add specific members to a blog's "Users Allowed to Post Articles" list or you can add entire member groups to a blog's "Groups Allowed to Post Articles" list. And each blog's lists are their own.
Instructions:* READ BEFORE INSTALLING *Uninstall previous versions of zCommunity before proceeding (this includes deleting the old zCommunity directory manually if you installed it manually).
note: Make sure you uninstall any previous versions of Blog Community also.Upload the zCommunity folder (from the compressed archive package that ends with __files) to your forum's main directory *BEFORE* installing the changes to your SMF Forum via the package manager installation package.* IMPORTANT * Please please please make sure you understand that this is an

Hi Charles,
Seems like a great MOD. 8)
Is there a link on a members profile to their BLOG??
Regards,
Sweetwater
Looks awesome. It would be perfect if it could be used for more than one board. Then members could have their own board/blog. Hmm... wonder how much modifications would be required to make that happen. Anyways, great job there!
Actually, it wouldn't require much modification at all. I will work on another blog mode that will allow for multiple blogs.

Right now this mod only supports one blog for your entire forum. When I finish adding the extra blog mode for multiple blogs, I'll be sure to add a link in member profiles to their blog (if they have one).
Thank you , great mod !!!
mod is working fine.
sorry for asking this simple question, but i can't find it.
where can i see the board ID?
found!
admin -> board -> mouse over 'modify' button
One more thing...
If i create new topic, the blog categories shows.
But, if i already have post in my board, how can i categorize them? because i didn't see the 'blog category' when i edit them
And if i created a new post and place the topic in a certain blog category, i can't edit it and move it to another category.
am I missing something?

Sorry about that. I had intended for you to be able to change the blog category of topics in the modify post page. I have fixed it, and updated the mod package.
i've installed the mod.
so, what should i do now? uninstall it and re-install it?
i prefer manual edit, if its ok for you, please give info what & where should i modify.
All that was required was a small change to the blog mod code in Post.php (and I moved it). So if you look in the blog.xml file for the changes made to Post.php, that's all you need.
i've moved the script, but still not working, blog category not showing on edit.
i noticed i more thing, if i created a topic and assigned a blog category for that topic, and then i edit it, the blog category don't show up and after i saved it, the topic become uncategorized.
Are you sure you applied the changes correctly? It is working perfectly for me.
i'm pretty sure about that...change the post.php only, isn't it?
Ya just post.php
Are you sure you are trying to post in the board that you designated as your blog board? Are you sure the blog is enabled?
Make sure you put the code for the blog mod (inside Post.php) in the right place. The location of this code is important.
yes, i'm sure.
i tried to create new topic, the blog category menu is exist and the topic showed in the blog.
i attached all of the modified files, if you don't mind, please check it
i've double checked everything, i'm pretty sure that i don't skip a thing.
thank you

No pressure here (lol) but do you have any idea when you might get this feature added? I've been working on my own mutli-user blog customization where each blog owner is the moderator of their own board, but it's lacking many of the features that yours has. If you were gonna have this done sometime soon, I'd much rather use yours. Just a rough ETA would be great. Thanks dude!

I am going to be developing this functionality for my own site anyways, so it'll most likely be about a week or so.
@ cr34t1v3:
I will look at those files you attached, and let you know where the issues are.
I've attached your Post.php that I fixed. Sorry I forgot one little thing in the blog.xml file. I'll update the package on the customization site now also.

Great jobs...thanks a lot....great mod, great support ;D
Look forward for the next development :D
I am having a totally vacant day...
I cannot find an option where i can post anything to the blog?
I can see catagories and set them, all installed fine, its in the header bar, ive assigned it to a board, but how please, do i post to it?
you can stop laughing now... i feel like stevie wonder when he has a crap jumper day :P
okays..... weve found the blog drop down list on the ordinary post to board routine.
is there anyway that the blog board can be made to look like a blog rather than the normal regular board layout (default setting)?
to the website visitor, it doesnt look like a blog, unless they click on "blog" in the header bar
one more important question...
instead of showing the user name, it shows the log in name!
can this be changed at all do we know?
this same problem occured with the site map mod but was resolved.
ta for the help
You mean show the user's display name rather than their login name?
Also... To make the board in the display view look like a blog would require a lot of changes to display.template.php. I don't know if that'd be worth it. What I am going to be doing for the next version is make blog boards not show up on the board index. Additionally, I am working on another blog mode that would allow every user to make a blog and set the settings and manage their blog categories via their profile.
May I ask how this mod differs from SMFBlog that already is on this site?
I've never used SMFBlog... But I can tell you that this mod does pretty much everything most blog software does and more. I am almost done with the new multiple blogs mode.
I am pretty much done with all the changes... You can check it out here:

Please let me know what you think of it so far :)
Awesome. That was quick. A couple of things I wonder if you could add:
- On blog index, can you make it show member avatars to the left of the names
- On blog index, can you make it show # of articles (and # of comments?) instead of total # of posts
- In your blog, I wasn't allowed to post a comment, will members be able to comment by default? Or will you need to explicitly set permissions for each blog board?
- On member profile, can you show a link to the member's blog, if they have one
- Not sure how you setup new blogs, add/edit categories, etc
These are all little things... overall, it looks great. When you get the mod packaged up, I'll give it a thorough test.
Edit: One more thing, on the blog index, can you display the blog (board) description below each blog name? That would be cool.
Thanks for all the good suggestions. I did already have some of the things you suggested, though you can't really tell:
- Already display avatars to the left of blog names on the blog index.
- Already display blog description on blog index below blog name.
I will definitely add the other things you suggested.
edit-
I'll add permissions for posting replies to each blog board so that all regular members of your forum can post comments.
great mod , congratulations. You can improve more.Again congratulations :D
I'm trying to edit the index.template on my custom mod but it isn't working out. Some of the things I'm supposed to change don't exist like[ban]
hello, this is my first post and my first week using SMF on a production site. :D
I'm excited to see this mod and I'm intend to use it.
I haven't try it yet but from the demo you've just shown above, it does look really promising and really useful.
so SMF users won't have to bother integrating their sites with wordpress or other blogging platform for a simple blog.
however there is one thing that keeps me a bit annoyed :(
the comment/reply view of the blog post.
does it mean all the comments will always be seen on the frontpage?
is there a link to "Read More" or something that is more like a common blog? :)
there is also one more request if you don't mind.
I'm currently using "Ultimate Profile" mod, could you perhaps integrate your mod so that it has a link to users' blog?
or maybe a "Recent Blog Posts" link?
regards
wonderful work
You can choose to disable comments on your blog's display page. And you can set how long comments can be. The read more link currently takes you to the display page in that board and it displays the entire topic with all posts just like any other topic would be displayed in your forum.
There are currently multiple links in user's profiles that take you to their blog page. If you want something more, you'll have to be specific so that I know exactly what you want.
thanks for the mod.
i installed and integrated with no problems.
I've been on the lookout for
just the mod like this one Charles!

I've never used SMFBlog (...)
SMFblog (http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?mod=793) is "A (very) simple SMF blogging system" made by Daniel15 some time ago, and the two of you seem to have been using very similar methods, except yours is further developed. Daniel also seem to have dropped all support at the moment, so your blog mod is my best bet for sure right now and an outstanding one at that :)
I was about to ask if you could please please update this mod to work with the 2.0 version of SMF (and that request would of course include your nice drafts-mod as well, hehe), but it seems you have an error that should be sorted out first.
On my first fresh install using WAMP, I got an error after I'd just installed this mod then went to try and post somewhere. The first time I just ignored it and kept on going until I got the mod working, but I did a new fresh install to see if I could reproduce the bug, and i could:
QuoteYou have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near ' , , 1, 4, 4,
0, 0, 0, 0)' at line 3
File: C:wampwwwsmf_test1SourcesSubs-Post.php
Line: 1579
Also, that
' , , 1, 4, 4,0, 0, 0, 0)' increases by one every time the error ocurrs (though it started at 4), like on my 6th attempt it would say
' , , 1, 10, 10,0, 0, 0, 0)' (I also don't get where the starter-'(' is at...).
Upon replying to an existing topic, it worked.
Again note: This happened by first installing the mod, applying no additional settings whatsoever but just going straight to whichever board around and attempt to make a new thread. I then went to blog settings and changed Enable Blog => Disable Blog (I thought 'Disable' was the pre-set on my first install, but I don't quite remember...), but the same error ocurred. I then switched to hidden mode, and to my surprise, it now worked! However, I doubt changing to hidden mode was what actually did it... Now, the "Blog" tab was finally showing up in the navigation, though there were no categories of course as I had not added any. Now I could also switch to "Enable Blog" and it would still work. When I switched back to "Disable Blog" however, that is when the bug ocurred again!
Okay, maybe I've been doing some things I didn't know I was doing as well (In all likelyness it
did initially say 'Disable Blog'), but it seems the "Disable Blog" is what brakes the threadposting on the forum. Please fix this,
then see if you could be so kind as to update this lovely mod to be compatible with 2.0 :)
Oh, and one last thing bothered me about this mod, though I'm guessing there's nothing you can do about it: After I write a reply to a blogpost (in the blog-interface), depending on my "return-settings" I'm either returned to the board index, or to the topic (in forum-view) that I replied to, and any sign of having just written in a blog is just gone :( Is there any way to change this redirect when I'm writing in the blog? so that when replying to a blogpost, you'll remain inside the blog interface, and that good ol' blogger-feeling remains!
The posting error with Subs-Post.php occurs only when you have the blog installed and disabled. I have fixed it for v1.08. I will be adding the redirects back to the blog after you post comments (replies) and new topics in that blog for 1.08 also.
As for making this mod compatible with 2.0... I am holding off on making mods for 2.0 until its final release.

You need the index.php at the end there. The dev site has v1.08 of my blog mod installed and 3 separate testing accounts already.. Just login using test, test2, or test3 and go to profile to check it out.
Looks great charles. When are you releasing this version?
Sweetwater
Most likely within a week. I'm going to be adding some extra functionality here and there and testing it fully.
This is coming along very nicely. Great job Charles! One more feature request:
Can you add a link to "Blog Settings" on the blog page (only if the blog owner is viewing it, of course)? You could put it at the top, just to the left of the "Post New Topic" link. That would make it much more obvious to get to the settings... so they can easily add categories, etc.
And a question: How will an admin be able to make a blog for a member? Just curioius.
Thanks for all the great work.
Admins don't make blogs for users. Users initialize their own blog via a simple click of a mouse in their profile... On the blog settings page. If they user doesn't already have a blog this is displayed: "You have not initialized your blog yet. Click here to initialize it."
Once they click the link their blog is instantaneously set up with default settings and they can modify their categories and blog settings at will. I'll add that link to the blog settings page like you suggested.
We have installed the mod on a brand new forum, then went into features and options and we are unable to find the blog mod appearing in the forum at all,
Is there anywhere else it should appear as we are unable to activate the blog mod on the test forum.
If you are using a custom theme you're going to have to make the modifications to your theme's template files manually.
You will also need to modify your template's language files manually. Check the blog.xml file for the changes made to the default template and language files, and make the corresponding changes on your theme's template and language files.
We have installed this on a brand new forum with the default mod and this is not working still, is there a reason why this might happen
I've installed the latest Blog mod on this site as of 28 Jun 08 with no apparent issues but when trying to post all I get is "There are no topics in this category." and I haven't a clue as to what the problem is, I'm using the default SMF theme as this is a test site. So where am I to add/edit topics. Thanx in advance!
Another feature request... Could you add a setting where members could specify if guests (or members) can view their blog. I know that some of my users would want their blogs to be for members only.

I am unsure as to what would be causing such an error. You could just wait for 1.08. I will be testing everything very thoroughly.

Scratch what I said about making a setting for the admin about allowing blog owners to restrict access. I am going to make another permission to do this. It'll allow admins to have a lot more discretion as to which of their users can do this.
edit--
Here is a taste of what you can expect from version 1.08 of this blog mod.........
- Multiple blogs mode, when enabled, will allow all users of your forum who have the write_blog permission to make their own blog. Blog owners will automatically be given moderating ability for their blog (their blog board only). All blogs appear on the Blog Index page. Users can set all the blog related settings and create, edit, move, delete blog categories of their own via their profile page.
- Added settings for admin only:
> Hide blog boards on board index
> Target category for new blog boards (which category you'd like all new blog boards to be created in)
- New Permissions:
> write_blog ... users with this permission can make their own blogs
> multiple_blogs ... users with this permission can make multiple blogs (must have write_blog permission)
> blog_restrict_access ... users with this permission can restrict access to their blog(s) based on member groups
New blog settings:
- Enable/disable Links window
- Enable/disable Friends Of window
- Set side windows to appear on left OR right
New blog tools:
- Links window allows users to show a list of links in a side window that will appear on every page of their blog
- Friends Of window allows users to shows links to blogs of other users
I am also planning on creating a few different blog themes that blog owners will be able to select from, but I don't think I'll get it done for v1.08.
Sorry... I'm totally new here...
totally new in SMF forum and also this Blog mod...
I've installed this mod and enable it in hidden mod then how to post inside this blog?
what is the 'Blog Board ID' how to get the 'ID'?
Quoteblog_restrict_access ... users with this permission can restrict access to their blog(s) based on member groups
Can you make it where members can only see/choose from membergroups they are in (plus Guests)? I wouldn't really want them to see all the defined membergroups. It would also be good to exclude post-based groups.

Your blog is just a board you designate as your blog. Once you've designated a board as your blog, you can post there just like any other board.

Sorry things have been really crazy for me the last week.. Been moving into a new place and have had all kinds of network/cable problems. It'll probably be 10 days or so before 1.08 is ready.
Hi Charles, it's me again.
I noticed some error during posting a calendar event.
When I click 'post event' in calendar below message appear:
'You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'ORDER BY t.categoryID
LIMIT 1' at line 5
File: /home/forumanu/public_html/Sources/Post.php
Line: 196 '
And it's pointing to the blog mod below:
189 // let's get the blog category that this topic is currently in
190 $request = db_query("
191 SELECT bc.categoryID, bc.name
192 FROM {$db_prefix}blog_categories as bc
193 LEFT JOIN {$db_prefix}topics as t ON (bc.categoryID = t.categoryID)
194 WHERE t.ID_TOPIC = $context[current_topic]
195 ORDER BY t.categoryID
196 LIMIT 1", __FILE__, __LINE__);
197
198 if (mysql_num_rows($request) > 0) {
199 $row = mysql_fetch_assoc($request);
200 $context['current_blog_cat'] = array(
201 'id' => $row['categoryID'],
202 'name' => $row['name'],
203 );
204 }
205 mysql_free_result($request);
206 if (isset($row))
207 unset($row);
Any idea?
I haven't worked with the calendar portion of SMF at all. I'm assuming that there is no such context variable as $context['current_topic'] when posting a calendar event. Try adding single quotes around $context[current_topic] and see if that makes the error go away.
Tried to add single quote like this: $context['current_topic'], still not working.
btw, I see there is a message few line above: '// !!! These won't work if you're posting an event!'
Is this mean that I can't post even in calendar?
Hi,
I'm very keen for the member blogs... looking forward to it.
Thanks.
That comment is by SMF about something else that has nothing to do with my blog mod. You added the single quotes in the wrong place. It should be '$context[current_topic]'
Fatal error: Cannot redeclare modifyblogsettings() (previously declared in /home/site/public_html/Sources/ModSettings.php:521) in /home/site/public_html/Sources/ModSettings.php on line 610
It automatically added in sources/modsettings.php as I looked into it. How to fix this?
@JoshieDaMan...
That means that you have more than one instance of the function declaration in ModSettings.php. Simply remove one of the instances of function modifyblogsettings() (and all the stuff in the brackets for that function declaration) from your Sources/ModSettings.php file.
Hi Charles,
Any idea on the release of the version you are testing?
I'm excited at the prospect of member blogs.
It's really coming along now. Most of the stuff left to do is minor, except for the overhaul of the blog admin area. I'm going to get rid of Features and Options >> Blog Settings and replace Blog Categories on the left admin menu with Blog Control Panel.

It's really coming along now. Most of the stuff left to do is minor, except for the overhaul of the blog admin area. I'm going to get rid of Features and Options >> Blog Settings and replace Blog Categories on the left admin menu with Blog Control Panel. (...)
That'll be a whole lot better, great change! Man I'm so looking forward to see SMF 2.0 go stable...
Quote from: Charles Hill on July 04, 2008, 02:22:59 PM
That comment is by SMF about something else that has nothing to do with my blog mod. You added the single quotes in the wrong place. It should be '$context[current_topic]'
it's working.
thanks.
Happy to announce that v1.08 has been released :)
Change made:
*new* Blog Mode (multiple blogs)
*new* Permissions: write_blog, multiple_blogs, blog_restrict_access, delete_own_blogs
*new* Blog Index (when in multiple blogs mode) ... Lists all blogs on your site
*new* Blog Control Panel ... Located in Profile and Admin area (admins only)
*new* Convert existing non-blog boards to blogs (for admin-only)... Located in Admin >> Blog Control Panel
*new* Global Blog Settings ... hide blogs on board index, maximum # of blogs per user, category for new blog boards... Located in Admin >> Blog Control Panel
*new* Links window
*new* Friends Of window
*improved* All actions made from a blog take you back to that blog (remove, delete, modify, post new)
*fixed* minor bugs
*removed* Features and Options >> Blog Settings
WOW!
Thinking to install one blog in my forum... ;)

1.09 already?
I might wait a couple more days to see if there's any more small bugs.
Reasonable I suppose. I am using it on my main site already. No problems.
When I go to make a blog with my test account, it says: You are not allowed to administrate this forum. when trying to make a blog. I setup the permissions right.
Only admins can access the blog control panel in the admin area. Non-admins must use the one in their Profile.

Yup I know. The profile is where I am trying to make the new blog.
Another great mod.
Will you be upgrading it for SMF 2?
Ok I figured out what the problem was. I'll add the fix to v1.10.
@Tony
Yes once 2.0 goes final.
Additional notes:
I've decided that for add-ons and extra features I'll be making additional mod packages just for the soul purpose of using in conjunction with this mod.
All changes made to this mod package will be minor bug fixes.
edit---
If you have 1.09 installed already... all you have to change is Profile.template.php (just replace the old template_blogControlPanel function with the new one).

Did you create those blogs via the blog control panel? Also do u have hide blogs on board index checked in the admin-only blog options window of your blog control panel?
i did but then deleted and reinstalled it because it wasnt working now i have it working and that wont leave
Never mind issue resolved
Nice mod. I would like add it to my page but it's still too buggy. I'm using SMF 1.1.5 with the default theme. So far I have run into the following bugs (version 1.10).
1. I can't remove any posts or boards after installing Blog mod.
Fatal error: Call to undefined function getCurrentCategory() in .../RemoveTopic.php on line 317
2. The link to the last post in blog index is broken. It returns the user back to the forum index. Currently the url is like this: index.php?blog=xx;entry=xxx. You need to add action=blog for it to work correctly. Also it would make more sense if the last post would be the last blog entry made by the blog owner, not the last comment made by some reader. It would be nice to see the name of the owner of the blog in the blog index.
3. Comments don't show up. Didn't show up in 1.08 either when I tried it.
4. What's the purpose of the "remove this" bar? It's just annoying.
EDIT:
5. When in single blog mode I cannot add new entrys from the blog index. I have to navigate to the blog board from the forum index and add a new entry (topic) from there. Navigating gets a bit hard when the blog board is hidden. Hehe...
I installed it and gave my members permission but they can't create a blog. They can read ones I do and cmment but not create their own. how do I fix this.
Thanks
@Joel-san...
1. fixed for v1.11
2. fixed for v1.11
3. I tested again on my blank forum and I wasn't having any problems with comments. Are you sure you have "Display comments on main blog page" checked?
4. There was supposed to be a link above that saying "Resume reading where you left off" and it takes you to where the Read more link cut off the topic. on the blog page. I fixed this for v1.11
5. fixed for v1.11

Did you install v1.10? v1.08 and v1.09 had this problem.
v1.10 does fix the members can't create a blog issue. I just tested it out. Charles, very nice job! Looking forward to more updates on this.
Thanks for the updates! I'll try to find out why comments aren't showing up.
Fixed it. It was the version.

Ok I got the blog working with 1.11 but noticed it shows comments but where do you see these comments? and the box is checked to display them on the main page. I also noticed if you set the non-admin blogs to 0 or a number it still only allows the non-admin to initilize only on blog.
I guess the user could create categories and that would break it up.
Thanks

For me too it shows correctly the number of the comments but it doesn't actually show the comments. So far I have been able track the problem to Blog.template.php line 112.
if (!empty($modSettings['display_comments_blog'])) {
if (!empty($context[$post['id']]['comments'])) {
foreach ($context[$post['id']]['comments'] as $comment) {
$modSettings['display_comments_blog'] is always empty because display_comments_blog is stored in $context['blog_settings'] variable. Then comes the next problem: $context['post id xxx']['comments'] is always empty too. It would also seem no matter if I check or uncheck display comments checkbox $context['blog_settings']['display_comments_blog'] is always 1. However the value is changed in smf_blog_settings table so the error is definitely in some function that reads from the database. Maybe the table name is hard coded in that function. My table prefix is smf2_.
EDIT: Regarding the issue of $context['blog_settings']['display_comments_blog'] always being 1 I opened Blog.php and looked at the Blog function. I quickly found the reason in line 108.
'display_comments_blog' => !empty($temp['display_comments_blog']) ? $temp['display_comments_blog'] : 1,
No wonder it ends up being 1 every time. Change the line to this and it works.
'display_comments_blog' => !empty($temp['display_comments_blog']) ? $temp['display_comments_blog'] : 0,
While fixing that you should also fix enableRecentEntries and enableArchives.
num_recent_entries, max_topics_on_blog, max_length_topics, max_comments_per_topic and max_length_comments aren't going to work when setting 0 for no limit because 0 is treated as empty. Isset would be more approriate in this case.
Thanks for all the help :) I'll get the mod package updated with v1.11 later this evening and all these issues with be resolved.
Okay. Finally comments are appearing. Here are all the fixes I made.

As I said comments are now showing up but there's still one issue to be solved. When you disable the comments from showing in the main blog page that actually disables them everywhere. You will not see the comments even if you view a single entry by clicking Read More. You need to set display_comments_blog to 1 and max_comments_per_topic and max_length_comments to 0 (no limit) as we are not in the main blog page but viewing a single entry.
Thanks for the help, Joel-san. I really appreciate it. I fixed everything and tested it all on my dev site. I am adding a link tree now just for the blog pages to help make navigation easier. Once I am done with that I'll package it all up and test it on my default blank forum. Thank you all for your patience.
Just updated it to v1.11. Hope there are no more problems ;D
About other languages:
I'll make additional zip files with translations available as soon as I get the time to compile them.
About additional functionality and/or add-on requests:
I'll make add-ons for the Blog Mod available in separate mod packages within the Blog Readme topic on my site and in the Blog Mod page on the Simple Machines mod site.
I have this in my forum error log after installed 1.11:
8: Undefined index: extra_links

As you can see these are the same fixes I posted earlier. Maybe you missed these accidentally.
When viewing a single entry comments were limited if max_length_comments was set to something. Fortunately it wasn't hard to fix that. Otherwise it was working great.

I like the blog navigation tree. Could the forum navigation tree be replaced by the blog navigation tree when posting a new entry or a comment? After posting an entry or a comment the browser should show a single entry or return to then blog index depending on the "return to this topic" found in additional options. Currently it always returns back to the blog index.
I fixed the comments issue in v1.11, Joel....
From getComments...
$rows = mysql_num_rows(db_query("
SELECT ID_MSG

WHERE ID_TOPIC = $topic
AND NOT ID_MSG = $exclude_message
ORDER BY posterTime DESC " . ((!empty($limit_comments) && empty($context['viewing_single_entry'])) ? "
LIMIT $limit_comments" : ''), __FILE__, __LINE__));This makes it apply the limitation on how many comments to show only when seeing a topic and its comments on a blog's main page.
From Blog.template.php:
if (!empty($context['blog_settings']['display_comments_blog']) || !empty($context['viewing_single_entry'])) {
if (!empty($context[$post['id']]['comments'])) {
foreach ($context[$post['id']]['comments'] as $comment) {This means that comments will be displayed if comments are enabled on a blog's main page OR if you are viewing a single entry.

Glad you like it :) And I'll figure out a way to replace the forum's link tree with the blog link tree when posting and replying in blog boards.

I guess I wasn't clear enough. All the comments are shown fine but character limiting on comments is still taking effect when viewing a single entry. Adding && empty($context['viewing_single_entry']) into the if clause before substr takes care of it.

I'm using the latest on and I hide the message from the main index. When you click on blog it shows the blogs and says 7 comments but no comments are showing up.
Not sure if you're familiar with the USER CP mod...but is there a certain way to put something in there so the member's blog CP can be in there instead of their old one?
Hey guys,
I have 1.10 installed and I am having problems with the comments not showing, I see the issues have been sorted out in 1.11, but I was wondering what's the best way upgrade to the new package.
Should I uninstall the old version then install the new version, or is it easier to make the changes manually?
I have members with blogs already and I dont want them to have to start again.
Thanks.
Issues seem to still exist in 1.11 as I unistalled my 1.10 and installed 1.11 and I still can't see the comments.

I wanted to let everyone know that the blog 1.11 is running great on one of my sites. I don't have any issues with comments.
Yes I've tested the comments thoroughly on a blank forum. No problems what so ever with v1.11 of this mod. If you had a previous version (1.08 through 1.10) installed, and you uninstall then install 1.11 you will lose ZERO data. Everything in your database tables will remain unchanged. There were several things fixed from 1.10 to 1.11 so I think it'd be better to uninstall and install the newer version.

No I am not familiar with that mod, but i suspect it modifies a ton of the Profile files in SMF. I will look at it when I have time and see if I can write a tutorial on manually editing your profile files when User Profile Control Panel mod is installed.
edit----
There don't seem to be any bugs that are causing usability issues, so the next version will probably be the last version of the blog mod. Minor improvements will be made taking into account suggestions you all have made (examples: blog link tree on Post pages when posting to a blog, redirect to entry page instead of blog page when posting new topics and replies).
Thought... would it be easier if I made patches instead of redoing the entire blog mod package? That way you all wouldn't have to manually edit the entire install again.

Sounds like a good idea to me. I am going to uninstall 1.10 and install 1.11 so fingers crossed.
Edit:
Installed 1.11 and all my bugs are gone, the improvements are spot on too. Awesome job m8, well done.
This is one of the most usefully mods I have installed. :D
Uninstalled it and I still don't see the comments. Check out www.canadianracingonline.com/smf it says 12 comments but they don't show up but when you see them listed from the unread since last visit you see the comments but not when you click on blog from the menu bar.
Please help
Thanks

Yes I've tested the comments thoroughly on a blank forum. No problems what so ever with v1.11 of this mod. If you had a previous version (1.08 through 1.10) installed, and you uninstall then install 1.11 you will lose ZERO data. Everything in your database tables will remain unchanged. There were several things fixed from 1.10 to 1.11 so I think it'd be better to uninstall and install the newer version.
Could you attach your Blog.php file please?
Here is the blog.php attached.
Thanks
There doesn't seem to be any problems with that Blog.php file. Are you sure you have Display comments on main blog page checked? Remember that each blog has its own settings.
It is checked I checked it.
If you like I can make you a admin account and you can look at it.
It shows up in the forums if I don't hide the post on the index but not in the blog.
Thanks

Could you make me an account that has all the blog permissions? I don't need admin to check this.
Here is a copy of the Blog.template.php you requested.
Thanks
Are you getting any errors in your forum's error log?
I would still suggest that computel isn't seeing the comments because of the AND NOT in the MySQL querys in getComments function.
That has nothing to do with it. It's working perfectly on one of my blank forums. He has a lot of mods installed. I will still try to help him figure it out though.
Also, if you all would like to see what new stuff I'm up to...
http://dev.degreesofzero.com/Blog.php?blog=69
If you notice that page only displays the blog, and not any of the other stuff from the forum. This is an added setting in the blog control panel. The plan is to allow users to choose from several different custom blog themes (like word press and other blogging software). How I did this was take Blog.php from the sources folder and modify it heavily, and I loaded SSI.php at the top. It uses the member, security, permissions, etc systems from SMF.
The possibilities of this are limitless. I am consulting with a graphics design person about him creating some blog templates for me. Let me know what you all think :)

It may have. I have two servers. One is running MySQL 4.1 and the other 5.0. Your queries work perfectly in 5.0 but fail to work in 4.1. It would seem that 4.1 doesn't recognize NOT.

Alright let's try it with != instead of AND NOT :)
@computel...
Find both instances of the following (in getComments in Blog.php)
AND NOT ID_MSG = $exclude_message
Replace both instances with the following:
AND ID_MSG != $exclude_message
There was only on instance in the blog.php and it didn't do a thing when it was changed.
Thanks

They are very similar. Find:

and replace it with:

That did the trick thank you.

In Blog.template.php there is a context variable....
$context['extra_links']
replace this with
!empty($context['extra_links']) ? $context['extra_links'] : ''
That messes up the template. the blog goes really small right beside the right hand archives.
Thanks

Thanks for all the great work Charles. I just installed and tested v1.11 and it works great. One thing I was wondering though... I had asked this before, but it's not showing avatars beside each blog on the blog index page. It would be nice if it did that. Would add a little more color to the listing.
Edit: Sorry, just one more request. Could you make the "who's online" page show people who are viewing a blog or the blog index? Right now it just shows "Unknown Action".
Edit: Hmm nvm, I have yet another request lol. Here's a list of all of em:
- Show member's avatar to the left of each blog name on the blog index
- Show users's blog action (viewing blog index, viewing blog, viewing specific blog entry, posting to blog entry) on the "Who's Online" page + a link to where they are
- With notification emails, it would be nice if the link went to the blog article, rather than the board topic
- Show total blog views (below # of topics and comments) on blog index, then maybe optionally sort the list by # of views DESC (would give incentive for ppl to post good blog content, to get their blog to the top of the list)
BTW, I agree about releasing new blog features as a separate package. I've heavily customized mine already, so uninstalling and reinstalling would not be much fun.

, !empty($context['extra_links']) ? $context['extra_links'] : '', @ilikeitalot
Thanks for all the great suggestions. I will add them in for the v1.12 :) And I'll make a patch version for 1.11 to 1.12 to make it easier for those who have it installed already.
Thanks that did the trick.

@ilikeitalot, in your Who.english.php add this string
$txt['whoall_blog'] = 'Viewing <a href="'.$scripturl.'?action=blog">The Blogs</a>.';
This will display where members are when members are viewing the blog pages.

I think ilikeitalot was looking for something more specific. I worked on this a bit today and I got the Who.php modifications 90% done. Only thing is... if a blog is pseudo-independent (http://dev.degreesofzero.com/Blog.php?blog=69) from the rest of the forum, you will only be able to see if a user is viewing a blog, not what they are viewing in that blog. I'll work on it some more, though. I added blog views below number of topics and comments on the blog index, also. I think I'll add another optional window on the side bar of blogs to display that blog's statistics.
I'm going to have people with graphic design skills make some templates for the pseudo-independent blogs. These templates will look as good or better than the templates available with other blog software. The default blog template will be free with the software. Additional templates will be available for purchase from my site as soon as they become available and have been thoroughly tested. I haven't settled on any details yet.
I cant wait till you get it all done, i will be starting a new smf site soon (waiting for the new smf and a couple of other bits and pieces). The blog will be one of the main features of the site its awesome.

We have installed the mod on a brand new forum, then went into features and options and we are unable to find the blog mod appearing in the forum at all,
Is there anywhere else it should appear as we are unable to activate the blog mod on the test forum.
Was this ever resolved? I'm having the same problem. I installed it into a vanilla test environment (no other mods, default template) but I don't see the Blog Control panel in the menu. I double checked the database and I see the settings in the smf_settings table but I can't access anything.
I have installed Blog mod,i can see the tag of blog ,but when i click that tag there comes nothing except blank space,no option where to start ,where to write etc etc.

Make sure the txt strings were added properly to your forum's language files. Look at the install.xml file that came with the package and compare the changes made to your language files.

Go to your admin area. Then go to Blog Control Panel (Configuration >> Blog Control Panel). From here you can set the necessary settings and set up your blog or blogs.

Thats what it was. I was installing the package through the admin control panel and it was reporting the package installed properly but the link wasn't showing. Turns out, the language files were right protected and not being changed.
Great mod works good but I wanted to know like most mods you have to uninstall older version to install new version in doing so will the blogs be lost if I uninstall or do I have to manually move the blog boards in Admin CP then make them blog boarsds again with updated blog mod?

Hi Charles,
I just loaded the newer version & it works fine. The extra features requested earlier in the string are great. Will post any other suggestions as they come to mind.
Thanks for a great mod.

Quote from: ghostfreakHey there,
Would you be able to create a blog mod that would allow a user to start their own (say within their profile) without having to turn the whole board into a blog?
Thanks,
Chris.
First off...
please don't pm me for support.I will answer your question, because I'm nice like that... however, all future unsolicited, support-related private messages will be ignored. If you have a question or questions related to this mod please post them in a topic devoted to support for this mod (like this topic or the Blog board on degreesofzero.com).
Now for your answer...
When you enable the blog mod in multiple blogs mode, all users who have the write_blog permission can make their own blog via their blog control panel (Profile > Modify Profile > Blog Control Panel). When they create a new blog they are actually creating a new board. As an admin, you have access to some extra admin-only options that let you convert existing non-blog boards to blogs (Admin > Configuration > Blog Control Panel).
edit---
@Sweetwater
Glad you like the mod :) have you had a chance to check out the latest things I've done on my dev site?

i can only view blog category not setting .I have checked everything there is nothing to start with :sad:
I think many are anxious about this mod Charles...I've been holding off installing it, because your making so many improvements to it... I can wait....
I might suggest checking out the Blog Mod for PHPBB for more ideas........I noticed you were working on possible templates....I know that mod uses javascripting to allow its blog owner to change the color theme with a click and a choice of 4 colors........
I have it set up on a dead site, if you wish to check it out....
Very nice mod.....I know your proud of it!
Nice work!
@kizley
Sounds like you are using an old version of the mod. Try v1.11
@damnitmike
v1.11 has no known issues at all. I will be making a patch mod package that will update v1.11 to 1.12 when I release v1.12. Beyond v1.12 I will be releasing add-ons which will be very specialized additions to the blog software. The way I am handling blog templates is not with javascript (as some people have javascript disabled in their browsers). Everything is done with php. Users will first have to check "Make blog appear on its own page" and then select which blog theme they would like their blog to use in their blog control panel. Each of their blogs can use a different blog theme (or they can use the same if they want to be boring ;))
QuoteBeyond v1.12 I will be releasing add-ons
Add-ons.....very cool. I am guessing things like, your own Shoutbox? The ability to add Widgets perhaps? Calenders?
I am guessing....I really have no idea....
But it doesn't matter, I am certain your going to do it up right!
Thanks again, and nice job!
Ok, I am having some serious issues.
1. I don't see anywhere where you can set who can view blogs. When someone creates a new blog, only regular members, global moderators, and admins can view it. My Charter Members, who are the only ones I am allowing to create blogs, can not view any others! So, I am having to manually edit who has access each time a new blog is created.
2. By default, after manually granting access to view the blogs, any user can create new topics in any blog! I have it set not to show blogs on the forum homepage, but the new entries still appear in the recent results, so people can still see the boards, and still have access to New Topic links! It seems to me to grant the owner of the blog the ability to post new topics, while restricting that ability to everyone else, you would have to create a new membergroup... <-- not true - I tested it - only blog owners can post new topics - even when viewing the board. (phew!)
Thanks in advance.
p.s., what is the "Friends Of" feature, and how do I use it?
@digit...
Please do not pm me for support
1. There is a permission blog_restrict_access that allows users to set who can view their blog(s) (by membergroup). There is no global setting for the default member groups that can view any/all blogs. I will add this option to the admin blog control panel for the next version.
Thanks - looking forward to it - sorry about the flurry of pm's :P
I just installed it...
Works fine.
Thanks
I'd like to know what the Friends feature is all about.
I don't see anyway to add friends, and it doesn't display buddies.
Oh yes, sorry. The friends window displays a list of links to the blogs of your buddies. If you have no buddies or if none of your buddies has a blog, then nothing will be displayed.
I guess I should add some little question mark links that open up info windows to help explain stuff like that in your blog control panel.
Ok, that feature is not working here on my end. I just tested it.
Created new account, created blog, added that new user to my buddy list, as that user, added me to his buddy list, enabled the friends window, but nothing appeared under the friends header.
Also, sn't there a way to make new blogs visible to ALL membergroups by default? It's a pain granting access to blogs to my Charter Member each time a new blog is created.
Thanks.
That buddy must ALSO have a blog.
Yes it is possible to allow the admin to set the default member group permissions for new blogs. I'm adding that to the next version. You can see the next version while I work on it at http://dev.degreesofzero.com/index.php (username: test password: test)
Quote from: Charles Hill on July 18, 2008, 02:02:51 AM
That buddy must ALSO have a blog.
I did that as well in my test. :(
If you look in the first blog listed on my dev site's blog index, you will notice the Friends window on the left. You must have a buddy that has at least one blog for it to show anything.
ok, well, I might have other issues.
1. I just created a new account...
2. then with that new user account, I created a new blog.
3. I posted a new message. (added me to the buddy list, went into admin account, added that new user to my buddy list - still no friend in my list)
4. I went back into the profile and there was no "Go to blog" link.
5. So, I clicked on "initialize blog" again. (even though in the admin area I have the blog limit set to 1).
6. Went through the same process... created blog, posted new message, etc.)
7. Looked in blog list and there were TWO blogs for the new user. THIS time, in the 2nd blog, I, the admin, appeared in the friends window, but the new user was not in my window.
I noticed someone else created two blogs yesteRday too.
Sigh.
If you feel like testing it on my system, let me know.
Hi guys
I've installed version 1.11 on smf 1.5 everything looks ok, but when I go to a profile all I get is this

That means there are two instances of the function declaration for blogControlPanel($memID)
Open Sources/Profile.php and delete one of the instances. I dont know what you are referring to when you say "there are two blog entries in the menu bar at the top"
Hi
Sorry to be a pest, but which code should I remove?
Thanks
Graham
One entire instance of the function declaration blogControlPanel in Sources/Profile.php
Hi
I've looked at profile.php, but could you please tell me what code to look for?
the two blog entries are in the menu bar with home, search, profile etc
many thanks

Hi
I've looked at profile.php, but could you please tell me what code to look for?
the two blog entries are in the menu bar with home, search, profile etc
many thanks

Sounds like you installed the mod twice. You need to find:
function blogControlPanel($memID)make sure you delete everything within its brackets too
OK, how do you create blogs for individual nonadmin members?

OK, how do you create blogs for individual nonadmin members?
Enable blog in multiple blogs mode (Admin > Blog Control Panel > Main)
Give the write_blog permission to the member group(s) you want to be able to create their own blogs.
They will now be able to make their own blogs via their Profile > Blog Control Panel
does anyone have this installed and fully functioning so I could see it in action before I install it?
http://degreesofzero.com ;) That's using a beta of 1.12 though.
http://maia-alta.snowweb.info is someone's site that has 1.11 installed
this release is buuuuugy!
from one of my users....... today....... (note my earlier post....)
"I created a Blog called "BeachBumm's Hunt Blog" and made an entry. The next day I attempted to access it to add a new topic. In the control panel it said I have not initialized my blog yet. I should have known better, but not knowing what to do, I clicked it and I now have 2 blogs. I posted a new topic to my new blog called "BeachBumm's Blog". I have tried several times to access my first blog but can't. What is even more weird than this is . . . . people were able to make comments on my first blog with no problems, but nobody can comment on my new blog. Obviously, I would like to keep my original blog. Can you please let me know what my options are? I can't have 2 blogs and my current one, nobody can leave comments."
this, with multiple blogs on, and the limit set to 1.
I just tested it with no problems. Are you sure you installed it properly?
edit-
I just ran through the possible sources of such a bug for you.... Look at your ManageBoards.template.php and ManageBoards.php. Make sure whatever was done to those files by the install.xml file in the Blog mod package was done properly.
Hi there!
I am installing this mod right now, but I encounter a problem :( I install it manualy, and in the file ./Sources/RemoveTopic.php I can't find the code which I must replace:
// We want to redirect back to recent action.
if (isset($_REQUEST['recent']))
redirectexit('action=recent');
elseif ($full_topic)
redirectexit('board=' . $board . '.0');
else
redirectexit('topic=' . $topic . '.' . $_REQUEST['start']);
Can anyone help me, please?
The version of my SMF is 1.1.4, I know that this mod is for version 1.1.5, but all files could be modify in right way. This is the last step.
@LosCatmanos
That code can be found at the end of the function DeleteMessage() in Sources/RemoveTopic.php
So this is the code:
function DeleteMessage()
{
global $ID_MEMBER, $db_prefix, $topic, $board, $modSettings;
checkSession('get');
$_REQUEST['msg'] = (int) $_REQUEST['msg'];
$request = db_query("
SELECT t.ID_MEMBER_STARTED, m.ID_MEMBER, m.subject, m.posterTime
FROM ({$db_prefix}topics AS t, {$db_prefix}messages AS m)
WHERE t.ID_TOPIC = $topic
AND m.ID_TOPIC = $topic
AND m.ID_MSG = $_REQUEST[msg]
LIMIT 1", __FILE__, __LINE__);
list ($starter, $poster, $subject, $post_time) = mysql_fetch_row($request);
mysql_free_result($request);
if ($poster == $ID_MEMBER)
{
if (!allowedTo('delete_own'))
{
if ($starter == $ID_MEMBER && !allowedTo('delete_any'))
isAllowedTo('delete_replies');
elseif (!allowedTo('delete_any'))
isAllowedTo('delete_own');
}
elseif (!allowedTo('delete_any') && ($starter != $ID_MEMBER || !allowedTo('delete_replies')) && !empty($modSettings['edit_disable_time']) && $post_time + $modSettings['edit_disable_time'] * 60 < time())
fatal_lang_error('modify_post_time_passed', false);
}
elseif ($starter == $ID_MEMBER && !allowedTo('delete_any'))
isAllowedTo('delete_replies');
else
isAllowedTo('delete_any');
// If the full topic was removed go back to the board.
$full_topic = removeMessage($_REQUEST['msg']);
if (allowedTo('delete_any') && (!allowedTo('delete_own') || $poster != $ID_MEMBER))
logAction('delete', array('topic' => $topic, 'subject' => $subject, 'member' => $starter));
if ($full_topic)
redirectexit('board=' . $board . '.0');
else
redirectexit('topic=' . $topic . '.' . $_REQUEST['start']);
}
Please, could you tell me, how should I edit it?
And the second query, this code:
redirectexit('board=' . $board . '.0');
is in the file twice. Should I modify both?
find the following:
if ($full_topic)
redirectexit('board=' . $board . '.0');
else
redirectexit('topic=' . $topic . '.' . $_REQUEST['start']);
replace with the following:
// if this delete message request came from the blog page... redirect back to there
if (!empty($_REQUEST['blog']))
redirectexit('action=blog;blog='. $_REQUEST['blog'] .';entry='. $topic);
else {
if ($full_topic)
redirectexit('board=' . $board . '.0');
else
redirectexit('topic=' . $topic . '.' . $_REQUEST['start']);
}
Great mod but a couple of things... testing on default theme 1.1.5
1. Is there a way to have a community blog where anyone can post to it. This way you dont need individual userblogs.
2. When you start a new blog theres the Blog Category option, if you dont have categories enabled can you add a permission that hides the Blog Category option.
3. As seen in the other pic thats a TP recent topic side bar, could you add support for that like the forum where it hides the recent blogs / posts made ?
That should be it for now, but the main thing is the community blog. For those that want a blog which anyone on their forum can post to assuming they have the permission. This way you dont need individual user blogs. I hope all this makes sense but if I can think of anything else I'll be sure to post.
Edit:
Unchecking (Enable list of most Recent Entries) doesnt do anything, the box is still there with the recent posts. The one thing that does work with the recent box is this (Maximum number of recent entries to show).
I have a couple of issues (probabily installation related... I've messed up a bit ;)).
Only admin can create blog, users have no blog control panel in their profile.
I've created an admin blog, and if I try to reply from a regular user, I get the following errors...

Obviously something went wrong here, I attach my post.php just in case.

and a filter for pretty URLs would be great!
Thanks for your work :)
Can you give some ETA on when you will get the SSI thing out of the oven?
That'll come in the next version. Next version won't be out for at least a couple weeks, because I want to have my store up and running with a few add-ons / custom SSI blog themes available.
Hi -- I've installed the mod and set up a test blog that shows up in my Admin panel in blog format (so cool!) and also on my Forum board as the correct blog title and location, but when I click on it to enter the blog, the topics show up in the Forum format instead of in the blog format, as it appears in the Admin panel. Thoughts?
I haven't customized anything about my forum's theme other than the colors and the css for the header of the site ... www.allaboutdarien.com/forum
In v1.12, you won't be able to view blog boards in normal board format. In v1.11, you have to access a blog board via the blog page (index.php?action=blog;blog=BLOGID)
Your blog's blog page is... http://www.allaboutdarien.com/forum/index.php?action=blog;blog=80
I'd stil llike to see a community blog, somethign everyone can post to instead of letting everyone have their own blog. That and a "fix" for hiding blog posts from the recent block on tiny portal.
I'll take a look at tiny portal eventually to make the two more compatible.
I think I said somewhere already that I will be adding the ability to set posting rights for each blog much like viewing rights. You'll be able to restrict posting rights based on member group.
Charles Hill: Thank you very much!
But, I have two problems:
If I want post new topic to my blog (I run multiple blogs - I want one for every user), it does this error:
Chyba databáze
You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'ORDER BY t.categoryID
LIMIT 1' at line 5
File: /var/www/www.maxiforum.cz/htdocs/Sources/Post.php
Line: 249
And I find out, that users can't base new blogs. I think they should have "Control Panel" (i translate it like "Administrace Blogu") in their profile. But there's nothink. Do you think there's problem with permissions? I can't find permissions to user to posting blog.

LEFT JOIN {$db_prefix}topics as t ON (bc.categoryID = t.categoryID)
WHERE t.ID_TOPIC = $context[current_topic]

I edit to this:
WHERE t.ID_TOPIC = '$context[current_topic]'
And now, I can add new posts :)
//EDIT: Sorry, the second problem was my mistake. Now, it works!
Thank you for blogs!

I manually installed this - and I just now double checked everything, line by line.
I see no errors - again. Everything is installed as per the install.xml file.
I wonder if I have a conflict with another mod. :( SIGH.
I have TP 1.0.5 and the Blog 1.1.1 installed on a test site. I won't be installing Blog 1.1.4 on there since I will be taking it down soon. They do work together but I think I had to install the blog before TP. The other way around, you get errors. I have TP as my home page. Blog is just a link in the menu. This is on the default theme too.
I posted a few blog without a problem. I added TP blocks without a problem. I did get errors when trying to uninstall either one. But I have other mods installed on it also.
I would say more tests are in order before running it on a live site.

attached are both files.
I installed it and had error messages on my first post so I uninstalled the mod but still left with the Blog Control Panel in the admin interface, any way to get rid of that? BTW, the uninstall routine doesn't seen to work for me, I guess I'll have to do a proper uninstall via the package parser.
If I would have known...
Thanks,

When you have a lot of other mods installed, you should expect to have difficulties when installing a complex mod.
Gosh, you know ... I think maybe mine's not installed correctly.
-- It doesn't look or act like a blog when I click on the blog title from the board index, it acts like a message board and shows my "blog posts" in message board format
-- When I posted a 'new topic' from inside the blog admin panel, it again looked and felt and posted as a message board post instead of a blog
So, I'm thinking maybe something's not right about my installation...? I don't know the first thing about coding so be gentle with me :-)
See: www.allaboutdarien.com/forum >Welcome > AllAboutAdmin's Test Blog2
***
You pointed out to me that my blog URL is: http://www.allaboutdarien.com/forum/index.php?action=blog;blog=80
How do I connect that URL with my Forum Index page and/or the Blog Title that shows up in the Forum Index?
Many thanks for your patience!!
(sorry i need to add this to my prior post) ....
I just posted a new topic on my blog at the URL
http://www.allaboutdarien.com/forum/index.php?action=blog;blog=80
and when I hit submit, it returned me to the message board format again ...
don't get me wrong, everything I submit and/or enter shows up, it just seems like it keeps showing up as a message board instead of a blog ...?
You access your blog via the Blog or Blogs link in your forum's navigation menu (Home, Blog, Search, Members, etc). If you aren't redirected to your blog page after posting, then you didn't install something correctly to the Post.php or Subs-Post.php files. Double check the modifications made to these files by looking at the install.xml file that came with the blog mod package.
should be evident but how to delete a blog and/or categorie ?
thanks!
You can delete a blog either from the blog control panel (delete link next to each blog or in the normal manage boards admin area. Categories... do you mean blog categories? To delete those you use the "Delete" link next to a blog category in the blog categories window on the main page of the blog control panel.
thanks Charles !
I'm so stupid not to have seen the last column with the delete link.
I'have to say that was hided by the fact that the display was out of my screen :P
Have a nice day.
This mod sounds just like a dream to me.. just what I've been looking for.
I only have one question..
The blogs (boards) and blog posts (topics), will they ALSO show on the forum as regular forum boards and topics for all to see?
( i dont want that .. ;) )
The next version is going to be a large step forward from v1.11. I'm going to eliminate the ability to view blog boards like normal boards. Even the links to these blog boards from the board index will take you to their blog page instead of the normal board view.
It'll still be a week or two until the next version. I promise it'll be worth the wait.
Sounds perfect :D :D
Thanks for making this mod, its gold
I've installed this mod on two different machines with the same result. The blog control panel only shows for the admin.
This question was posted several times already, but I don't see an answer. What do I need to do for the control panel be visible for regular users. I already inspected all the files an it appears that all the modifications are there.
Both installs were clean with default theme. SMF 1.1.5 with Blog 1.11 mod.
The admin user has no issues. Control panel is there, and can create/delete/modify blogs and categories.
The ordinary user's blog control panel is accessible via their Profile. You have to enable the blog mod in multiple blogs mode for them to be able to use it AND they have to have the write_blog permission.
You can do something for smf 2.0?
I will start looking at what it would take to convert this mod to smf 2.0 compatible. I don't think it'd be too difficult. Version 1.12 of this mod for SMF 1.1.x is almost done by the way :)
Sounds great ;D looking forward to the new version ;)
Very nice looking mod. I am looking forward to the release of the SMF 2.0 compatible version.
Installed the mod with much success and got it working. One question/possible problem I'm experience is with the Blog Index. I read in one of the first posts in the thread that the ability to display avatars in the board index was built in. When I go to view my board index I do not see my members avatars. Is there a setting else where I need to make sure is enabled before seeing the avatars?

Yes you will have to enable "Display avatars on blog index" in your Admin > Blog Control Panel

I looked for this option in the Admin > Blog Control Panel section and did not see it. I'm using standard english-utf8, so I don't think thats the problem in not seeing the option...any ideas?
Are you viewing the Main tab of the admin blog control panel?
I am.

Hmmmmm I've been working with v1.12 for so long. Can't even remember if 1.11 has avatars on the blog index or not. It might not. Sorry :(
Good news, though. v1.12 should be ready within a week. :)

@Charles HillYou said that the blogs would be seen as regular forum boards, and that for next version it would not... And reason I wait ;)
But looking at the example in the quote above, I can see no forum board that is representing the blog...
Did I misunderstand something? :D probably.. lol
runebergen - if you go to admin/blog control panel, there is an option to check to hide blog boards on the board index. click that and hit save. this should hide your blogs in the forum
When I try to install this on 1.1.4, it tells me that it's not compatible with my version of SMF or is corrupt [I downloaded it twice and tried it twice, so I doubt it's corruption that's causing it.], so I tried installing it manually which ended with pathetic results [Going to the blog page resulted in errors, and the configuration panel contained no text, etc.], so there goes two hours :P
Anyway, is there any particular reason it's failing or should I get a special package for 1.1.4?

Hum, thats all I want to have. The blogs not seen as regular boards.. Should I wait for 1.2?
Its the last mod for my site to end up perfect, just like I want it ;)
Got a few from Sinan on board, and this will be the final one to complete a fully functional community site:)
Blog, Ultimate Profile, Simple Portal, Gallery, etc... :)
How do do you enable this mod for the admin only?
Standard mode allows only the admin to make a blog.
---edit:
If anyone here has graphic design skills or knows someone who is very good with graphic design, please contact me via email. I am in desperate need of custom blog templates for this mod. I am building a paypal supportable store on my site that I will use to sell these custom templates, so we will come to some deal that will make us both happy :)
Hi... I am trying to install this mod... I don't find it on the package manager, so I am trying to upload it myself... but, I have a few questions...
I have downloaded the zip file and have tried to use the "upload-browse" option in the package manager. But:
Do I upload the zip file?
I keep getting an error if I try to upload the zip file (HTTP 406 Not Acceptable message)
If not the zip file, then which files (I have unzipped it offline)... that is, what should the directory structure be? Should it mimic the offline structure?
Please let me know...
Thanks,
Mo
Once you've downloaded the mod as a zip archive, you need to upload it via the package manager. Then you can install it. If you are getting a corrupted error, you may have to repackage the files within the archive in a new archive. There is no special file structure.
Hmmm... okay, that didn't work...
So I went ahead and just uploaded the files within the WebEPanel... main forum directory... because it wouldn't upload the zip file, nor any of the actual files otherwise. Now they're uploaded... and I clicked on the add_settings.php... so it's in the database... but it doesn't show up in the admin panel (as it says it will), nor in the member's area...
Any ideas?
Even though this package states that it works for 1.1.5, the package_info.xml file restricts the package from installing on anything lower than 1.1.5 [Simply editing the numbers there let me get past the 'This package is corrupted or not compatible with your version of SMF, blah blah blah' for SMF 1.1.4]. Might wanna change that >_>
After getting past that, I get the following test failure:
7. Execute Modification ./Sources/RemoveTopic.php Test failed
Is this something I should be concerned with?
Anything you get an error on install, you will want to look at the file(s) you are getting errors on and attempt to coincide your files with what the xml install file is trying to change. You may have to look at an un-altered version of the file(s) from your version of SMF (or the SMF version the xml install is designed to work with).
Upon installing, I get the following error when trying to view the blog page:
An Error Has Occurred!
You are not allowed to view this blog
As an administrator, I doubt this should be happening ;) Any idea on what I should do?
EDIT: Okay, I went on as a normal user and can see the blog board. Upon attempting to post on the blog board as an Admin, I received the following error:
Database Error

Great mod Charles. Installed flawlessly on my 1.1.5 board. My members had been asking for something like this.
But I am having the same problem that other had with the comments not showing even though the setting is correct. Do I need to do the edits that you posted earlier to fix that?
Okay, JimM, give-- how did you do it?
I have 1.1.5, too, and nothing seems to work... I re-installed the script (1.1.5) and now I cannot even link over to the mods area...
@ Everyone attempting to install this mod:
v1.12 is going to be released within a week. It simplifies/stream-lines a lot of aspects of this mod as well as adds a ton of new functionality. I suggest waiting until v1.12 is released before installing this mod.
@trackermo
I use the default theme and just installed with the Package Manager. Everything tested successful and installed fine. I am still having a problem with the comments not showing and getting an error in the log "8: Undefined index: extra_links".
@Charles
Thanks, I'll uninstall and wait for v1.12.
@JimM
Thanks for the info... hmmm. For some reason I'm having trouble with the Package Manager. It won't load within the SMF admin area-- even when I copy the URL and create a new link. (sigh) That's probably why I'm running into trouble (see above).
@Charles
No pressure, but yes, I'll wait for the v1.12, too. Maybe that will solve my headaches.

XML is just a form of text-file. Try opening it in a text editor or load the source in a browser.
Ehhh I think ill delete it and wait for the new one/.
Well, never one to leave well enough alone...
I went outside the system, uploaded the zip file in my WebEPanel into the packages directory then had no trouble installing it after that... it works great now!
Thanks!

Hi, Charles.
Thanks for an outstanding Mod. If it's possible to do, I'll upgrade when you release the next version , but for now, I'm getting two errors that I'd like your advise on... if or when you have time.

@CaptJack
The extra_links undefined error is referring to $context['extra_links'] in the Blog.template.php file. It's not a major error. If you'd like to stop the error from ever occurring you could put if (!empty($context['extra_links'])) { } around the part of the template that has $context['extra_links'] in it.
-- edit --
Can you give me the 20 or so lines around line 627 in Blog.php please?
And I'm glad you like the mod. I think you'll be blown away by v1.12 :)
Thanks for your help. My community is small, and our site new, but your blog mod is the highlight of the forum. I just wanted to make sure everything was ok with it, and that I didn't mess something up. I would hate to cause someone to lose work that they've done.
Here's the bit of code you asked for. If you need the entire file, let me know.

Will I have to uninstall the old mod when the new one comes out? Or will there be an update script?
Also for some reason, only I can view my blog. I checked the permissions, but I didn't make the theme edits because I can't open the install file even when i try to open it in word.

v1.12 will have way too many changes for me to make an update script.
You shouldn't use word or other similar programs to edit programming scripts. You might try notepad2 (http://www.flos-freeware.ch/notepad2.html)
Is is possible to use subdomains with blogs? So that every created blog has blogX.domain.com url? This would be very cool.
Can you put automatically the Spanish traduction from Soloxd and I've found a very bad bug ... The blog posts count and in your blog you are moderator and if you enter like a normal section to your blog you can move the topic, etc ..

That's not a bug... blog owners are moderators for their own blogs.

Currently I have managed to allow users to make their blogs pseudo independent... meaning they appear completely outside the rest of the site (with their own unique templates). I will look into sub-domain support as well.

Hoo-boy... (not about using notepad; about the update)... when did you say this will be coming out? Soon, I hope... :D
When the new version is released will we be able to transfer our existing blogs over, or should I go ahead and close our blog section?
You don't have to worry about compatibility. If you are using an earlier version of this mod, your blogs and all the info you've got in them (including their settings) will all transfer over seamlessly.
The next version (2.0 beta) will be available soon. I am releasing it as a beta because I want to test it very thoroughly before I call it a final.
Thanks! That's great to know. 8)

Blog: Community's currently available version is 1.11. The next version is going to be 2.0 (as a beta). It will be compatible with SMF 1.1.x for now. Once it gets near final, I'll create an alpha version compatible with SMF 2.0.

@ Everyone attempting to install this mod:
v1.12 is going to be released within a week. I suggest waiting until v1.12 is released before installing this mod.
Sorry I meant 1.12 .. :)

Hiya, this mod software is really great. Have used it before, though on my board i'm getting the following error:
You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'ORDER BY ID_FIRST_MSG DESC
LIMIT 7' at line 4
File: /home/liveflg/public_html/fuel/Sources/Blog.php

It's for a website which has to be released very soon [few days], so help asap would be really appreciated :) thanks all.
Sam
I suggest you hold off until version 2.0 of this software is released. See it on my live site: http://degreesofzero.com. If you think v1.11 was great..... just wait :)

This issue has been fixed for version 2.0
coolness lol. Is it hard to fix the error iv got then??
No it isn't difficult. If you really want me to have a look at the code of v1.11 to get you a solution I can do that.
well - if the problem will be irrelevant in 2.0 then dont worry lol. but because it was a mysql syntax error, i assumed it wouldn't be?
What do you reckon?

Hi,
This mod looks great.
Is it compatible with the SimpleBlog Mod?
Or can i somehow convert the data to your mod?

There should be no mysql errors or other errors in 2.0. Of course it will be going through a beta test phase to be sure :)

Hi,

This mod uses SMF's boards, topics, and messages tables. If your data is stored in those tables, then it's simply a matter of using the admin-only convert board to blog function in your blog control panel.
No, blogposts in a seperate table and the comments too :(
I'll have a look at SimpleBlog... and while I'm at it I'll look at FelBlog as well. I know that uses its own table also. I'll try to come up with some conversion kits :)
Or I might be able to just add more conversion functions for admin use only.
Wow, that would be great!
Another question: Dies storing blogposts as forum messages also mean that they are displayed in f.i. serach results? And in what way?
Yes I am working on adding flags to all areas of Simple machines forum that will omit blog articles/comments from search results, recent posts, etc.
Thanks Charles, you're really helpful - definitely what I would describe as a commited SMF developer. Can't wait for the release!
Cheers,
Sam. :)
Hi Charles, this is an awesome mod, I have a question though, would it be possible to add a blog icon to the post information of a person that has a blog? You know over on the side of the post where you avatar and such is, maybe below the email, messenger icons and such.
Would it be a lot of trouble to add that, I think it would be an awesome addition and since it creates a link in the profile I assume you already have them linked somehow?
Thanks in advance!
Yes that is possible. Wouldn't even have to add any queries to make it happen. I'll look at it tonight. I have been reluctant to make a lot of unnecessary edits to SMF's core files (especially templates).
I agree with mediabob.... That would be a nice addition.
Yeah, I can see why you would be reluctant to want to modify to many template files, I would be happy if you just tell me how to do it and I can add it in on my own if you don't want to "officially" add it 8)
Oh yeah, maybe you can help me with something else to . . .
I want to display on my homepage the 10 most recent blog entries. I got it to display the entries fine, that was pretty easy, but I would like to link that to the actual blog so they see the entry title, click it, and are taken to the blog so they can read it. When I attempted it clicking the link took me to the entry, but it was in a forum post view instead of the blog, what would be the best way to link it to the blog entry?
Sorry if i am annoying :-X
wow... this is actually the first time I saw this thread/mod.
I'm using a Blog theme for projects over on my site.... but it's getting annoying to keep adding a new child board, etc each time a user wants a blog... This looks nearly perfect.
Questions:
- When do you (or do you at all) plan to support this mod in smf 2.0?
- Is there the ability to have multiple authors post to the same blog (i.e. we have a group that are blogging the same project. I'd like the 5 of them to post to the same blog.)
- how does one determine if it is a blog post versus a forum post? (Is there a tag in one of the smf tables?)
If the 3rd question has an affirmative answer, once you get this running for 2.0, I'll write an SSI function for you so this can be added to people's external sites, CMSes, etc....
Thanks for the kind words, kindred :)
1. Yes I do plan to support it for 2.0. I've already made some minor adjustments to make it easier to do so later on. I was planning on doing that once I was ready to release the 1.1.x version as a final.
2. Yes. Multiple people have expressed an interest in allowing multiple authors to a single blog. You can add individual authors or you can add entire groups as authors. All authors must still have posting permissions for that board (if local) or global posting permissions. Messing with a single blog's posting restrictions will not affect the overall site's permissions at all. I figured that would just get messy and confusing.
3. There is a flag in the boards table that tells you a board is a blog (the column blog_board). Messages/topics tables don't have flags to explicitly tell you they are in blog boards.
I have been wanting to develop an SSI function or two for this. If you wanted to do that, that would be awesome :)
a few more questions:
- do blogs show up in a person's profile?
- are there personal blog statistics available
- I am offering personal blogs only for all payed users. Is that possiblke with this mod?
1. Yes
2. What kinds of statistics?
3. Yes there are several different permissions just for blogs. You can allow/disallow the feature entirely and allow/disallow specific features within the blog feature.
ok call me thick how the hell do you set it so members can make blogs i set the pernissions and multiple blogs but i dont see noware when logged in as test user to add blogs
never mind figard it out lol should of known profile heeh
Really looking forward to Version 2 :)
Quote from: Charles Hill on August 11, 2008, 05:58:01 PM
Good news, though. v1.12 should be ready within a week. :)
Looking forwards to that too, checking the site every day :D
Charles, since its gone way over a week, is it allowed to ask an estimate at when 1.12 will come ? ;)
I wanted to clean up a lot of the code, because I will be planning to make add-on packages and patches from here on out. Also I've been getting Degrees of Zero itself ready for the release. Trust me, you won't be disappointed :)
i know :D by no chance I'll get disapointed, your mod is already awesome ;)
Just curious and you know... kids the days before xmas.. we get impatient.. lol :D hehe
Ks I have a question? We set up our blog for all members, four people have
blogs, robbie and I included. We tried it out, it worked really well, everyone
liked it... Then just now I went back to add another new topic and got this
reply? " Only the blog owner can post new topics " I don't get it? I've
created six new topics, no problem, have them in the correct categories,
yet this time when I try I continually get that message...
Only the blog owner can post new topics
So I asked robbie to see if he could still add new topics to his, he tried
and got the same message?
Oh and when my moderator tried to post a reply to one of the topics
she got this? Plus she gets that when she even tries to create her own
blog?

I apologize for the difficulties you are experiencing, hotchildxox. The issues you are experiencing are known issues with v1.11. Good news for you, though. Version 2.0.1 beta is going to be released within a few days.
What I can do for you right now is fix your Subs-Post.php and Post.php files. If you could email both of those to me, I will perform the necessary fixes. :)
Thanks Charles,
I am sending it to you via this post in attachments. I really appreciate it!
O:)

and thank-you again!
Did you by chance use SMF's manage boards to edit these blogs or even just save them via the manage boards page? I'm thinking that might be the root of this problem that people have had with 1.11.
The only thing I can think of? Is that my moderator had no option to blog in
her profile so I went to admin and started hers for her in admin blog control?
Would that have caused the problem ? Should I just delete her blog?
O:)

If you have access to the database, could you check in the boards table and make sure that blog/board has that user's ID # in the blog_owner column?
hi charles :D
I have just checked in the boards table and it has the number 1 in the blog_owner colunm
8)
I assume the admin's user ID is 1 then... Ok ya... Since you created this user's blog for them, your ID was input as the owner instead of their ID. This is a problem :)
To fix the problem you can simply overwrite the 1 in that column for that blog/board with the real / intended owner's ID.
This is a non-issue in 2.0.1 because I've restructured the entire mod so that everything is very clear. Admins will be able to edit any/all blog control panels without any issues.
shall we wait for the new version to come out then :D
I'm guessing I should bite the bullet and make an upgrade package for 1.11 to 2.0.1 ........ sigh
I would respectfully disagree with that decision. Even though I'm using v1.11 and waiting for the new version, I wouldn't want you to waste time creating an upgrade package. That would surely be a huge amount of work. I'd much rather you get the new version out quickly instead lol. With such major changes, I think people should be ok with uninstalling and reinstalling. Just my opinion though. I'm really looking forward to v2!!! Thanks!
I can't wait for the new version of this mod to come out...it is already a great product, and I am sure you are making the new one a lot better!
One question...do you plan to provide the option to make your first post on the same page where you create your blog in the blog control panel? I believe this would make the entire blog creation process soo much more straightforward and much less confusing.
I will attempt to cram a couple extra links (maybe tab links) .... Write Article.... which will take you directly to a post page for that blog.... and Go to Blog which will take you directly to the main blog page for that blog.
Yes this blogging community mod will be ridiculous..... I keep coming up with new awesome things to add..... so it might be a little longer...

Dude, the suspense is agonizing. Like someone else said, I feel like a kid on Christmas eve. I am sure it will definitely be worth the wait.
Think this is the right place to post.
I'm using SMF 1.1.5 (installed about a week ago) with blog_smf11X.
Whenever I try to access Blogs via the tab in the menu bar I get the error: "You are not allowed to view this blog." I get the same error when I login under the regular member test account I've set up aswellas when I view the site as a guest. The blog package did work at one point because I created a test blog when I first installed the package.
To try to remedy the error, I've uninstalled, removed all references to the blogging package from subs.php, index.template.php and deleted blogs.php (might have done something else too but I'd been awake a long time when I did this) then reinstalled the package. Using cpanel, I checked the SQL database for errors (although not manually because I don't know how to).
I can access the blog admin panel and view blogs when a direct link to a blog is clicked (i.e the error occurs when I click the blog tab in the menu bar across the top of a web page).
Please can someone suggest a fix.

installed fine no errors howevew i think it conflicks with simple portal
blog contral panel i get this
Fatal error: Cannot redeclare getarticles() (previously declared in C:\wdm2005\htdocs\dev\Sources\SPortal.php:163) in C:\wdm2005\htdocs\dev\Sources\Blog.php on line 1645
also when trying to convert a board i get this
You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '' at line 4

Ok. First thing tomorrow I have a mission.... Make this work with Simple Portal and Tiny Portal. So anyone with either of those things installed, please give me detailed info on all errors. Thank you.
ok if i find anything else ill post here :D
looks great on my test site cant wait to get it working ;)
i have this when making the first edit on the index.php page:
elseif (empty($_REQUEST['action']))
{
// Action and board are both empty... maybe the portal page?
if (empty($board) && empty($topic) && $settings['TPortal_front_type']!='boardindex')
{
require_once($sourcedir . '/TPortal.php');
return 'TPortal';
}
if (empty($board) && empty($topic) && $settings['TPortal_front_type']=='boardindex' && (isset($_GET['cat']) || isset($_GET['page'])))
{
require_once($sourcedir . '/TPortal.php');
return 'TPortal';
}
// Action and board are still both empty...and no portal startpage - BoardIndex!
elseif (empty($board) && empty($topic) && $settings['TPortal_front_type']=='boardindex')
{
require_once($sourcedir . '/BoardIndex.php');
return 'BoardIndex';
I have left this edit as it is at the moment.
Other fail was on locktopic.php but that is because i have the "Post reason for Lock" mod
EDIT: Nothing appears (My limited knowledge is telling me its because of the index.php edit im missing.
I have attached my index.php to help solve this for other TINYPORTAL users :)
I edit using Notepad++
EDIT 2:
using no changes what so ever to index.php, im now getting it working with a direct link:
http://voguefm.co.uk/forum/index.php?action=blogs
However, i can not view individuals blogs or any articles.
I just get my index page :S
Cheers Charles

I will add a setting to hide TP blocks on blog pages. This will be available in 2.0.2 (which will be released within a couple days after I compile a bunch of changes).
edit--
In the mean time, you can "Don't show forum layers on blog pages" which will cause all blog pages to display without surrounding template layers. Use the admin only option to hide the layers on ALL the blog pages (including blog index).

Charles WOW!! what a beauty!! I've been away for a while and I got back to see this beauty of mod!! thanks for the work, it is really fine!!
its out :D :D :D i'm so excited... :D
unfortunately I got Simple Portal installed...
Is there a lot of problems recarding SP and Blogs?
And is it easy to fix?
I am currently making things compatible.... Tiny Portal and Blog Community seem to get along ok... I have changed the first edit in the other.xml, so it should work when you have TP already installed.... I haven't looked at Simple Portal yet, but the reported problem is that SP has a function called getArticles().... so does Blog Community. I'll just change getArticles() in Blog Community to getBlogArticles(). Hopefully that's the only issue.

Thank you for the kind words :)
I think I found a issue with the blog 2.0.1. Or a conflict with a some other mod.
I tryed to install it and I get ./index.php test failed. So I went ahead and looked it up. I went to the parse editor and found this:
Says to find:
elseif (empty($_REQUEST['action']))
{
// Action and board are both empty... BoardIndex!
if
And replace with:
elseif (empty($_REQUEST['action']))
{
// Blog is not empty... action is empty... Let's Blog!
if (!empty($_REQUEST['blog']) || !empty($_REQUEST['article']))
{
require_once($sourcedir . '/Blog.php');
return 'Blog';
}
// Action and board are both empty... BoardIndex!
elseif
But my code looks like this:
// If guest access is off, a guest can only do one of the very few following actions.
elseif (empty($modSettings['allow_guestAccess']) && $user_info['is_guest'] && (!isset($_REQUEST['action']) || !in_array($_REQUEST['action'], array('coppa', 'login', 'login2', 'register', 'register2', 'reminder', 'activate', 'smstats', 'help', '.xml', 'verificationcode'))))
{
require_once($sourcedir . '/Subs-Auth.php');
return 'KickGuest';
}
elseif (empty($_REQUEST['action']))
{
// first..if the action is set, but empty, don't go any further
if (isset($_REQUEST['action']) && $_REQUEST['action']=='')
{
require_once($sourcedir . '/BoardIndex.php');
return 'BoardIndex';
I have 1.1.6 and TP 1.0.5 installed. I downloaded the file from your site and not the one from the mod section here at SMF.
Yes there is a minor issue with TP. I believe I have solved the issue.
Find:
// first..if the action is set, but empty, don't go any further
Add before:
// Blog is not empty... action is empty... Let's Blog!

I will be making an upgrade package from 2.0.1 to 2.0.2 within a day or two... so you'll probably have to undo that manually when using the upgrade package. Or you can just uninstall 2.0.1 and use the full install for 2.0.2 which will work fine with TP already installed.
I have just installed this blog system today actually, and I fixed the other error that I was having both with the update of the database and the other one with the index.php now I have this one when viewing the blog. Trying to make it also so this blog is only available to subscribers but already got that part figured out, just don't know what this error means or how to fix it.

Adding in another error that I found.. When I go to the "Admin" panel and then down to "Blog Control" area.. thsi is what shows up..
An Error Has Occurred!
Unable to load the 'main' template.
Ok on the first error.... That is related to the Friends Of window.... could you tell me a bit more? Do you have any buddies on your buddy list? Do they have blogs of their own if you do have buddies?
edit--- could you also please tell me any mods u have installed?
For the second error.... What url is that happening on?
Charles - it's looking awesome so far, can't wait for the next update! I REALLY like the new blog control panel, which includes the link to post a new article to your blog, the mybloglog/blog catalog links, and all of the other features. I think this is probably the best put together mod out there so far, and your hard work shows (even with the few kinks that it currently has). I can't wait until a more stable version comes out so I can get it up and running on my live site.
Glad you like it, chris. :)
I am reworking some things... I figured out how to "clean" the blog pages of tiny portal blocks. I will look at simple portal next. I have added a setting in the admin only options which will allow you to hide all portal blocks on blog pages. Your blog pages will be shown with the normal forum header and footer (just no TP or SP blocks). I will attempt to create a conversion tool for felblog to Blog Community. This is going to be difficult because felblog is just so.... difficult to work with...
Anyways... now for more philosophical changes ... I am placing several "plug-in slots" throughout the Blog.php and Blog.template.php files. There will be admin-only options to disable/enable each plug-in slot. What these slots will do is allow you to install / uninstall add-ons without altering either of the main two files (Blog.template.php or Blog.php). You will install these add-ons via the SMF package manager. Additionally, I have moved the prepareDefaultBlogSettings function to its own file (BlogSettings.php). I did this because the arrays in this function are likely to be modified and customized by admins/webmasters. This will make upgrading from one version to a newer version a lot less painful, because your changes should be kept intact.
Hi Charles Hill.
I have so far used Felblog. Since i noticed that you have updated the smf blog.
I would like to change from felblog to smf blog.
Give me suggestions on it.
Now tried installing with 1.1.6 over felblog and got these three errors.
1. Execute Modification ./index.php Test failed
14. Execute Modification ./Sources/Recent.php Test failed
26. Execute Modification ./Themes/default/index.template.php Test failed
Checked the index file and found that i have simple portal . So the default it points to simple portal.
Checked the recent and index template file. And found many codes to modify so i left it and standing in the mid to install or not.
Could you help me to continue further Charles Hill.
I'm not sure what you are saying. You are trying to install Blog Community?

Amen! I dropped felblog a few months ago because of that. And also because, even with some improvements I made, it was just um... fugly. And my users always had issues or questions with the editor, which was different than the forum editor. And the developer was a... well nvm, a gentlemen wouldn't say such things about a lady lol. Anyway, because of all that, I decided to convert all my felblog blogs into forum boards... then I made some changes so they looked more like blogs, wouldn't show up in the forum index, etc. As I was finishing that up, I ran across Charles' cool mod... and it was a no-brainer to switch to it.
Whoops, I started this post just to mention that I don't need a felblog converter, but instead, it turned into a rant lol. Anyways, it's great to have an awesome mod like this... especially from someone who's so talented, dedicated, friendly and responsive. Thanks Charles. I look forward to supporting your efforts by purchasing some of your add-ons or templates!
Oh... do you think you'll have v2.0.2 out by Friday? I'd rather wait for it btw, so I can get the TP fixes. My site is live, but a few glitches would be perfectly ok. I have TP, lots of mods and everything is heavily customized, so I'm sure getting the old BC uninstalled, then the new BC installed and configured might take a good bit of my weekend.
Hmm "BC"... am I the first to use that acronym? And can we use that? Rather than "Blog: Community"? Or maybe "B:C"?
Actually someone else used it in an IM conversation with me and I liked it. So I've been using it a bit. It is a lot easier :) I am getting rid of the : in between btw.
As for 2.0.2, ya it should be out by Thursday or Friday. I've been creating the upgrade/install packages for it as I've been making changes. So it should be a lot easier for me to get that ready. Here's the change log from 2.0.1 to 2.0.2 (so far):
*fixed* Install error in /index.php for users with TinyPortal already installed
*fixed* Undefined index: scripturl error in Who.php
*new* Admin option to hide all portal blocks on blog pages (tiny portal AND simple portal)
*new* Blog Index side windows (two optional windows: Global Tags and Most Recent)
*new* Added more "share" options (and now you can pick and choose which options to use for each blog)
*new* Two new side windows for blogs: Most Commented and Recent Comments
*new* Added plug-in "slots" for future add-ons/plug-ins. One slot is below the "share" and "options" in the width="60" column next to the article's body text. The other is below the "options" in the width="60" column next to the comment's body text. This will make it a lot easier to install/uninstall add-ons/plug-ins for these two areas. Plug-ins/Add-ons that could go here: Moods, Article Ratings, etc. One more slot in the loadBlogIndexSideWindows function and another in the main loadSideWindows function.
*changed* prepareDefaultBlogSettings function moved to its own file: BlogSettings.php (this will make upgrading a lot easier and cleaner for future versions)
*changed* removed text censoring for editing/adding custom windows, links, and categories (everything should be censored before it is displayed anywhere except the blog control panel, though)
*changed* created a function just for tag font sizes (tag windows). Should more accurately resize tags based on how many articles in which a specific tag is used as well as how many total instances of tags there are.
*changed* added admin options for guest CAPTCHA posting verification (can now disable entirely or disable for non-blog boards only)
edit--
*fixed* renamed getArticles to getBlogArticles so that there won't be a conflict with Simple Portal
AWESOME :D :D :D
my community going to be in LOVE this weekend, with blogs comming ;)
Thank you soooooooooo much for doing this mod
Hello is it possible to upgrade this mod to 2.0? Very impressive!
Charles, I'm getting an error on modifying "index.php"; I have the SimplePortal mod (http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?mod=1104) installed.
I can uninstall it and get the Blog Community mod to install, and it works fine. SimplePortal then will not install because of the changes to the "index.php" file (it also chokes on the default theme's "index.template.php" file.)
Love the Blog Community mod, so its staying! But wanted to let you know that it isn't compatible with SimplePortal.

Sorry took a couple days. Anyway's yes had buddies on the buddies list and amazingly when I went through and simply removed a few files and such it stopped happening and now it runs perfectly. Hm let me see if that second error is still happening in the admin panel.. Yes the admin panel-blog control gives this error

I have mentioned that,
I have felblog in my smf.
Could i able to upgrade the felblog contents in to smfblogs .
I tried installing , got three errors as mentioned above.
Mods conflict in installing is simple portal.
Any updates. And will wait till thursday or friday for the updated version Charles.
I am going to look at Simple Portal today. Yesterday I got Tiny Portal completely compatible (including being able to hide portal blocks on blog pages only).
@asudhukar... I dont think it's worth my time to try to make BC compatible with felblog already being installed.... why don't you uninstall it? It should be enough that I am going to make a conversion tool for importing felblog data to the smf tables...
@TaintedX.... I am confused. You are using 2.0.1 beta or 1.11?
1.1.6 actually did the upgrade the other day yes sir. no was asking if the newest release as perhaps i was reading it wrong still far to early for my brain to comprehend to much, but yes anyways was asking if that was for the beta.
Quote@TaintedX.... I am confused. You are using 2.0.1 beta or 1.11?
I was asking what version of this blog mod you were using?
Currently this mod is only available for SMF 1.1.x

And thanks for your interest towards working on simple portal today.
Additional Request, Felblog editor is so cool to work on both html and design. Will that be compactable with Smfblog.

It is version 2.0.1
The changes made by Charles are significant for the modification to be branded so.
Just because the modification is version 2.0.1 doesnt mean its designed for a BETA release of SMF.
I dont want to be brash or rude but by simply reading, this would have been clear.
Keep up the good work Mr Hill

What list of mods do you have installed on your site?
If you have Simple Portal or TinyPortal installed, there will be a problem with the first edit in index.php (when installing Blog Community 2.0.1 Beta)... 2.0.2 Beta has fixed the compatibility issues with Simple Portal and Tiny Portal (I will be releasing this version later today).
YES... TQ... FIXED NOW..
another thing is..

I need a bit more information than that.
im trying this
Use the form below to convert existing non-blog boards to blogs
and i choose my board. But that msg appeared...

Ah ok I found the problem....
Need to change the $blog in the following query to $board...
// let's get all the topics of which we need to refresh the month and year
$request = db_query("

LEFT JOIN {$db_prefix}messages AS m ON (m.ID_MSG = t.ID_FIRST_MSG)
WHERE t.ID_BOARD = $blog", __FILE__, __LINE__);
That is located in the initBlog($memID) function in Sources/Blog.php
edit----
I have not tried to figure out how to add a block for Simple Portal... I'm sure I will eventually make an add-on package that will add several simple portal blocks related to blog community, but I am not going to be making add-ons just yet. Blog Community 2.0.1 beta has had relatively few bugs considering how insane it is.... Hopefully the changes I have made for 2.0.2 Beta will work great and I can get moving on making some templates and add-ons :)
Charles Hill this mod will be updated to SMF 2.0??
Thanks
PD: Waiting the Blog v2.0.2 :)

PD: Waiting the Blog v2.0.2 :)
Not until I am fairly sure that I am done adding major things to the main files. I don't want to make a version compatible with SMF 2.0 and then have to change a lot with that version as well as the SMF 1.1.x version.
I had errors with blog_smf11x.
I've un- and re-installed it but I still get permission errors. If I uninstall it again then remove the SQL entries blog_categories/links/entries (nothing to keep in the blogs...yet), will it create problems with smf? Will I be able to re-install the blog package (or upgrade to the new one) more easily?
The last question is, should I remove entries in my php files that refer to the blog file? So far I've removed entries from index.template.php and subs.php.
All the data in your database tables will be unaffected by installing the new version. You will want to remove all the bits of Blog Community 1.11 or earlier from your files.
For my instance, I'm not worried about the blog data in my database. I'm concerned that by deleting the database's references to the blog package then I might render my forum unusable! (I have backed up my database though).
Are these the only files to hold references to the blog:
index.php
Sources/BoardIndex.php
Sources/ManagePermissions.php
Sources/Post.php
Sources/Profile.php
Sources/RemoveTopic.php
Sources/Subs.php
Sources/Subs-Boards.php
Sources/Subs-Post.php
Themes/index.template.php
Themes/ManageBoards.template.php
Themes/Post.template.php
Themes/Profile.template.php
Themes/style.css
Themes/languages/index.english.php ?
You're asking about version 1.11?
Hello Charles,
sorry for my stupid question but i don't understand a thing:
Does this mod modify the entire community and will make the forum a blog or what?
I run 2 different no profit communities (www.FreeSporePrints.org and www.FreeSeedsRing.org) and i believe your mod can interest a lot, because users can have a personal diary about your experiments and so on..
Thanks.
F.
This is an add-on. It is separate from the forum. Sorry about that. I suppose that isn't as clear as it could be :)

You're asking about version 1.11?
I think you were asking me. Yes, I'm asking about 1.11.
version 1.11 modified the following SMF source files:
index.php
Sources/BoardIndex.php
Sources/ManagePermissions.php
Sources/Post.php
Sources/ManageBoards.php
Sources/Profile.php
Sources/RemoveTopic.php
Sources/Subs-Boards.php
Sources/Subs-Post.php
Sources/Subs.php
other files modified:
index.template.php
ManageBoards.template.php
Post.template.php
Profile.template.php
style.css
index.english.php
index.english-utf8.php
I've attached the install.xml from v1.11 so that you have a reference for what you should take out.
tq for answer..
the new thing is... can i make the blog go to the childbord? not to parent board?

Ok Charles, thank you for the beta .
Since i have simple portal i could not install 2.0.1
Waiting for it , thank you Charles Hill.
Charles, thank you very much. Couldn't reply this morning (had been awake nearly 24 hours so had to sleep).
If anything goes wrong, I'm sure you know I'll post back here.
Thank you.
Update: so far, so good. Deleted php references and the SQL references to the blog. Fingers X. When they the new version is out of beta, I'll give it a go.

Hi:
My site was the same mistake, but was cleared with your indications.
But now, when i´m going to see blog, error:
"There is no blog with that ID"I convert a board to blog.
is the user can edit their article after submit? There is no icon for edit.
All the options are in a drop down menu on the article... Make sure your site's permissions are set properly. Admins can do anything.

i dont want the blog board showing in the forum board... it because if my user setup the blog, its make soo many board there..
In the blog control panel.. in the Admin-only blog options sub menu... "Hide blog boards on the board index"
is it compatible with Simple Portal yet? O:)
Tried looking for the change log, about it
Yes 2.0.2 Beta is compatible with Simple Portal and Tiny Portal. I will be releasing the install and upgrade packages for this new version later today.
Just updated to 2.0.2 Beta
*fixed* pngfix.js now included
*fixed* Install error in /index.php for users with TinyPortal or Simple Portal already installed
*fixed* Undefined index: scripturl error in Who.php
*fixed* Renamed getArticles function to getBlogArticles to make Blog Community compatible with Simple Portal
*fixed* Mysql error when converting boards to blogs
*new* Admin option to hide all portal blocks on blog pages (tiny portal AND simple portal)
*new* Blog Index side windows (two optional windows: Global Tags and Most Recent)
*new* Added more "share" options (and now you can pick and choose which options to use for each blog)
*new* Three new side windows for blogs: Most Commented, Recent Comments, and Polls
*new* Added plug-in "slots" for future add-ons/plug-ins. One slot is below the "share" and "options" in the width="60" column next to the article's body text. The other is below the "options" in the width="60" column next to the comment's body text. This will make it a lot easier to install/uninstall add-ons/plug-ins for these two areas. Plug-ins/Add-ons that could go here: Moods, Article Ratings, etc. Five other plug-in slots in various locations in the other blog sources files.
*new* Plug-ins submenu in Main area of blog control panel (for admin only)
*changed* prepareDefaultBlogSettings function moved to its own file: BlogSettings.php (this will make upgrading a lot easier and cleaner for future versions)
*changed* removed text censoring for editing/adding custom windows, links, and categories (everything should be censored before it is displayed anywhere except the blog control panel, though)
*changed* created a function just for tag font sizes (tag windows). Should more accurately resize tags based on how many articles in which a specific tag is used as well as how many total instances of tags there are.
*changed* added admin options for guest CAPTCHA posting verification (can now disable entirely or disable for non-blog boards only)
*changed* got rid of unnecessary redirect changes in several SMF sources file... Display and MessageIndex handle most blog page redirects anyways
Can I upgrade to this from 1.11 or should I uninstall 1.11 and install fresh?

Have to uninstall 1.11
Got it working, looks great, it shows how much work you put in to this blog, this is easily one of the most awesome mods I have ever seen.
Also another cool side note, on my Tint Portal main page I had a block (experimental) on the main page that pulled all the recent blogs by checking for the most recent posts in the forum designated for blogs. Before with 1.11 it would link to the blog, but when you clicked the link that way it took you to the standard forum view, now it takes it straight to the blog just like it should, so I don't know what you did different there but I like it :)
Hi Charles Thank you for v2.0.2 Beta. Cool Update.
I am going to install now with my simple portal version.
Could i know , when you will be converting the felblog datas to smfblog.
Hello,
Is there any metode to disable all blog post to recent topic (Main Forum) ?
Thanks
In your blog control panel..... Main ... Admin-Only Blog Options...
Don't count articles and comments in forum topic/post totals
Hide blog boards on the board index
Hide all articles and comments from your forum's recent posts (Be sure to Recount all forum totals and statistics after changing this setting)

Hello,
I already tried your instruction, but the post still appears on recent topic (Main Forum)
You're using what mod? Tiny portal? If that's tiny portal, you can hide the portal blocks on all blog pages with "Hide portal blocks on all blog pages"
I haven't made any portal specific add-ons for Blog Community yet.
....so you're using portal system, which pulls the recent posts in a different way. remember that it's important to document what you're actually referring to when posting an issue. If you look in the recent posts from the SMF part, it won't be there.
This might be something that you want to talk to the people at the portal system about, since it's part of their system of how they pull it up. This mod was made for SMF, and the additions to the mod to make it work with TP and Simple Portal don't modify those mods at all.
oww .. ok then .. thanks a lot for your reply .. :)
Charles Hill for gold!
Many thanks buddy for such an awesome update
will be fully live on our site soon
www.voguefm.co.uk
anybody can make block code snippet for tp for the latest image in mgallery?
@ Furgon, the standard TP recent post block will pull all recent forums posts, since the blog uses modified forum posts it will still pull those as well, you will have to code your own recent post block that excludes the forums that you use for blogs. I use this in a PHP block
global $context, $scripturl;
$bullet = '<img src="'.$settings['images_url'].'/TPdivider.gif" alt="" border="0" style="margin:0 2px 0 0;" />';
// 10 is the number of posts to return, 2,3 are the boards that I want to exclude (blog boards)
$result=ssi_recentTopics(10,array(2,3),'return');
foreach($result as $my){
echo "$bullet";
echo '<span class="smalltext">'.$my['link'];
// is this topic new? (assume they are logged in)
if (!$my['new'] && $context['user']['is_logged'])
echo '
<a href="', $scripturl, '?topic=', $my['topic'], '.from', $my['newtime'], '#new"><img src="', $settings['images_url'], '/', $context['user']['language'], '/new.gif" alt="', $txt[302], '" border="0" /></a>';
echo '<br>';
}
echo '</span>';
Hi!
Well, I finally got a chance to install the new version and I have a few questions.
Is there any way possible to put the blog index in the Main Menu Bar (i.e., home | Help | Search | Profile | ...) such as you have in the degreesofzero site? How would I do that?
Thanks for the mod-- it looks great otherwise.

It does put a blog button in the menu bar, but only on the default theme. If you are using a custom theme you will have to make that edit yourself
if you check your defaulot theme, (the core default) the button should be there already.. take the index.template.php file, file the blogs button and then compare the buttons from the default to the ones on your custom theme and try to work it in..
or you could read the docs on how to add a button! ;)
2 hands up for the blog.. thank you very much!! :P
There are actually two edits to make, you have to add it to the button array and add in the button code. Unzip the blog archive on your local machine and open install.xml and find the edits made to index.template.php and make those edits to index.template.php in your current theme.
Thanks, mediabob and SmokeyBlue for help answering some questions :)
@ qubbah... As I said I will be making an add-on designed to enhance your Tiny Portal / Simple Portal with custom blocks to incorporate your Blog Community. I just have a lot of other things I have to do right now. Once I get to making add-ons, you all will have lots of new stuff to play with :)
Issue with 2.0.2 Beta discovered.... When you do have blogs and a user is unable to view any of those blogs... there is a mysql error when they view your blog index.
Here's how to fix the problem:
In Sources/Blog.php
Find:
// ok let's get a list of blogs then
else
replace with:
// ok let's get a list of blogs then... if there are any that this user can view
elseif (!empty($context['visible_blogs']))
find:
// load blog index side windows
if (!empty($modSettings['blog_index_side_bar']))
loadBlogIndexSideWindows();
replace with:
// there are no blogs this user can view....
else
{
$context['blog']['blogError'] = $txt['no_blogs'];
}
// load blog index side windows
if (!empty($modSettings['blog_index_side_bar']) && !empty($context['visible_blogs']))
loadBlogIndexSideWindows();
And in Blog.english.php (or whatever Blog language file(s) you are using):
add at the end:
$txt['no_blogs'] = 'There are no blogs to view.';
no biggie Charles.. sorry i didnt have my files out when i posted, but glad its fixed now..
sweet mod.. thanks again, you made someone very happy that i am working with.. keep up the good stuff!! ;)
This mod doesn't seem to work with my forum, I'm using 1.1.6, and when I went to "create" a new mod, i'm told it doesn't exist. On the boards in my forum I have a load of new boards at the top. I can't delete or remove these, and I've even uninstalled the mod with no luck. See here: www.simulation123.com Also google ads have appeared when I have them specified not to appear... Please help as this is a live site...
I need more information to help you........
What errors occurred when you tried to install the first time? What version did you try to use? What other mods did you have installed? What do you mean you can't delete the boards in your forum? What errors are you getting and where?
Note... my mod has absolutely nothing to do with Google ads....
Ok firstly...
There are a number of boards after appearing at the top of my forum, when I clicked on "create" for admin it gave me a message that the board didn't exist but it was created. These don't show up in my board administration (they aren't there, just showing up on the front, boards with no topics in them). I've reinstalled the mod, and it seems to be working fine now, however these boards are still here.
For some unknown reason a google ad section has appeared with them, I'm not saying that your mod has anything to do with google ads, I'm just saying it might have affected the other mod's display settings when displaying these boards.
I'm not even too bothered about google ads appearing there, I'd just like to get rid of these extra boards. If it means deleting them from the database using sql then it's fine, I just don't know anything about them.
I'm using the latest version of the mod, I had the other blog mod installed previously but uninstalled it first.
Other mods?

hi charles
we have this error when you click on the blog button
Database Error
Please try again. If you come back to this error screen, report the error to an administrator.
and in error log
Database Error: You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near ')
ORDER BY b.blogViews DESC
LIMIT 0, 20' at line 7
File: /home/****/public_html/Sources/Blog.php
Line: 724
any ideas? :o
I have absolutely no idea why boards would be appearing on your board index and not anywhere in your admin areas.... You might consider attempting to clean up your forum's source files by comparing them to the clean source files from SMF 1.1.6....
Before you spend hours doing that.... Try running all the maintenance functions for SMF... Then look at your boards table in your database. See if you can find rows that have the ID_BOARD that match the mystery boards at the top of your forum.
Also... you are aware that you can hide your blog boards on your board index with an admin-only option in the blog control panel?
edit...
@robbie93.. That is the issue I posted a fix for here (http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=244848.msg1706511#msg1706511)
I updated to 1.1.6 this evening right before installing this mod... and I ran the maintenance functions, and backed up my forum data..
I'll have a go at looking at my database..
These boards were created when I clicked on "create" blog for both administrator and another user.. The notification I got back was that "this board does not exist" or something to that affect.. The amount of boards correlates to the amount of times i clicked create, a few times for the administrator and a couple of times in another member's profile... I got one blog working at the time by converting a board...
When you create a new blog in this way, I'm assuming it automates the process of creating a new board, hiding it and converting it to a blog? Do you know where in the database to look when a new board is created in this way? The boards are called "Admin's Blog" etc.. I'll have a look for ID_BOARD like you said...
Hiding the boards does not work unfortunately :(
Thanks again for the quick replies
Charles, one quick question, not sure if this has been asked or??
what about pinging?? lol... do you think that could be a function in the future?? would be nice if they could, but im not sure how it would be all set up.. im sure you could look thru word press, but ??? :P O:)
@SmokyBlue ... Pinging what?
@jimbo007... your boards table....
lol to get the blogs to ping.. servers i think?? for announcing that there is a new post or blog up.. but then i am not sure that it could do that, but maybe?? then again.. with it b eing a forum mod, im not sure Charles, but i was curious.. ;)
I am still not sure what you're asking for? You want to have a place to show when a new blog is created or when a new post for a blog is made? Where would u want these things to be displayed?
There's an off chance you're talking about making an API to somehow connect ALL blogging communities that use this software?
No need to go as far as the database, maybe I should have listened to you instead of firing back a post ::) :-[
Find and repair any errors worked, thanks!
It did throw up this error though, can't for the life of me see what's wrong with that SQL syntax...!!
You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'WHERE blog_board != 1' at line 4
File: /home/rentaroo/public_html/simulation123.com/Sources/Subs.php
Line: 427
Note: It appears that your database may require an upgrade. Your forum's files are currently at version SMF 1.1.6, while your database is at version 1.1.2. The above error might possibly go away if you execute the latest version of upgrade.php.
@ jimbo007... please give me the full code of the database query at line 427. I will spot the problem for you.

something like that Charles.. or a connection between 2 or more "communities" while improving on the seo, kinda like what word press does..
as far as a display, that too could be usefull.. not sure where you would place it either right now.. as there are now 3 portals with the use of blocks.. lota ifs ;) but im sure this is going to be a great mod.. :)
Well if I could perfect some kind of API system that would connect all the communities that use this software... that would certainly make this a step above any other mods... and would definitely make this a great alternative to word press' community software.
I've been spending the better part of the last 7 hours rebuilding the store front on Degrees of Zero..... really want to get this thing done so I can start making add-ons and templates... Once I get the store front done and get a few add-ons and templates made I will get crackin' on examining the viability of an API to connect all the blog communities.

Charles..
i have a few errors.. not sure where they are coming from.. perhaps you could check..
8: Undefined index: rss_feed
File: /home/lisa2/public_html/test/Themes/default/languages/Blog.english.php (manageBlogs sub template - eval?)
Line: 1708
8: Undefined index: can_poll_view

if you need access to this, if you could, give me a few hours, as this is a test site for a client of mine and i am in the process of moving it to his site today.. will be glad to send you a demo pass, etc.,
EDIT: and the polls dont show on the blog..

hi charles,
I tried to edit the blog.php like you said but for some reason the file wont let you save edits in cpanel, so, I tried uninstalling the mod and reinstalling, and noticed this.
looks like you had no problem installing robbie..
are you using notpad++ to edit your files?? you need to take the blog.pp file down, add the edits (or check them) like that link that Charles pointed you to:
http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=244848.msg1706511#msg1706511
and then re upload the file from your desktop via ftp to the file it came out of.. this isnt a cpanel edit Robbie.. ;)
also, it should be noted that uninstalling/reinstalling is usually the WORST thing your can do.
hi smoky ;D
I usually edit files from cpanel I havent even heard of notebokk ++ :-[
but on this occassion the file blog.php had no option to save all edits, so i couldnt do it :'(
have you got link for the notebook download :D
thanks for you're helpys 8)
notepad link here (http://notepad-plus.sourceforge.net/) you didnt say if youwere on windows or?? but if this wont work they have a version out for mac as well.. never ever use just notepad, use the notepad++ or other text editor..
alos, i use coreftp light, its free, and good ;)
Hello .. its me again
Is there any methode to redirect/replace index forum to index blog ?
Thanks
thanks for the link smoky, I downloaded notepad++ and edited the required files :D
I am now getting these errors :-[
when i click on one members blog and then there blog control panel I get this error
An Error Has Occurred!
Hey! Get down from there!
also the same members avatar has mysteriously changed by itself :o form the avatar they used to an iceberg any ideas ???
did you go over your edits you made?? check to make sure you didnt put a " . " in the wrong place ;)
sometimes that does happen..
@ SmokyBlue... Undefined index errors mean that a variable is being used that hasn't been set yet. rss_feed is a txt variable. Most likely you're just missing this variable in your Blog language file. can_poll_view is a context variable. It is a context variable. It should only be used if viewing the blog control panel... Maybe your BlogSettings.php. Make sure you can find the following in the blogControlPanel2 function in Blog.php:
'can_poll_view' => 'poll_view',
@robbie93... If you are getting the following message:
An Error Has Occurred!
Hey! Get down from there!
That means you are both not the blog owner and not an admin. You have to be an admin to view other users' blogs... If you are an admin and are getting that message, there is something wrong with your Blog.php.
Thanks Charles, will check it out.. if i get it cleared will say how ;)
i do think i got the rss fixed tho O:) lol will check tomorrow... had too much stuff to do today..
Hi Charles,
I have posted this topic in the drafts page. Earlier i was replying to drafts mod. Then i had typed everything and posted in drafts mod itself.
Waiting for reply here, and found my post is not found, so i went to my post and checked that i have posted in drafts mod.
-----------------------------------
Here is my question, before that i will let you know that, am a php developer and i know how to edit but still i would like you to edit and change it. Since i had already faced lots and lots of error log because of SMF . But now its safe and i want to modify and patch blog mod without any error .
------------------------------------
Hi Charles, I have tried to install 2.0.2 beta in my smf 1.1.6
Noted two error test failed fails.
11. Execute Modification ./Sources/Recent.php Test failed
22. Execute Modification ./Themes/default/index.template.php Test failed
Used the parser to manually check the files and found these simple errors,
In Default/Index.template.php file,
Find : <meta name="description" content="', $context['page_title'], '"
Present in my file as : <meta name="description" content="', $context['page_title'], (!empty($context['description']) ? ' - '. $context['description'] : '') , '" />', empty($context['robot_no_index']) ? '' : '
So that gives me a issue.
In Source/Recent.php file,
Find : WHERE ml.ID_MSG = b.ID_LAST_MSG" .
Present in my file as : WHERE ml.ID_MSG = b.ID_LAST_MSG" . (!empty($modSettings['recycle_enable']) && $modSettings['recycle_board'] > 0 ? "
Find : WHERE b.ID_CAT IN (" . implode(', ', $_REQUEST['c']) . ")
Present in two lines : Line 237 & Line 1375 So conflict occurs
Give me a solution for the above errors.
I have attached the index.template file and recent file.
Kindly help me to modify it, i will install with errors and then replace the edited file charles.
Help me with the felblog conversion tool also. :)
Have you considered making a dev subdomain with the same files as your live site? That way you can make edits and test them before uploading changes to your live site.... can avoid a lot of problems that way. And can increase your user base's confidence in you.
I would really prefer not to get into making manual edits for anyone as my time is extremely scarce already....
Ok Charles, thats right . Everyone's time is precious.
I will try it myself. But you check the lines i have mentioned and then give me a manual changes required for those quoted lines only.
yeah charles, I edited the files in blog.php and then started getting this message when trying to view a members blog as admin
An Error Has Occurred!
Hey! Get down from there!
any idea how to fix? also why did the members avatar change? when the member didnt change it ?
Well it uses the defaultAvatar.png as the avatar for a board if the blog owner's avatar was not found... That is a highly complex feature and it may have some minor bugs. Are you sure those users have avatars?
What did you modify in the Blog.php?
yep the user added an avatar of there own then made a blog, I saw the avatar he used, then for some reason the avatar switched only in the blog section to that of an iceberg.
in blog.php I edited the fix for the database error that you showed me, thats when I started getting this
An Error Has Occurred!
Hey! Get down from there!
Uh.... the fix I gave was for the Blog() function... you are getting the "Hey! Get down from there!" message when attempting to view someone's blog control panel yes? The blog control panel is handled by the function blogControlPanel2()
Ya I'll have to run some more tests on the avatar on blog index feature... I'll be working a lot with attachments/avatars/file/downloads for the store front I am building and for an additional couple features in the Blog Community mod. So hopefully I'll figure out what the problem is.
before the fix I was getting this error
Database Error: You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near ')
ORDER BY b.blogViews DESC
LIMIT 0, 20' at line 7
File: /home/****/public_html/Sources/Blog.php
Line: 724
then after the fix in Blog.php I got this error "Hey! Get down from there!"
plus the error with the avatar :D
same error here Charles:

i found this in the settings charles:
$poll_permissions = array(
'can_poll_view' => 'poll_view',
'can_poll_vote' => 'poll_vote',
so this is right.. ;)
edit:
i have gone back over the settings and checked everythingg i was supposed to, but i still am showing errors in the log:
Quote8: Undefined index: sideWindows
File: /hsphere/local/home/***/forum/Themes/default/Blog.template.php (main sub template - eval?)
Line: 614
and
8: Undefined index: rss_feed
File: /hsphere/local/home/***forum/Themes/default/Blog.template.php (main sub template - eval?)
Line: 782
i have enabled everything i can.. still nothing gives..
The sideWindows error...... That is actually a mistake I made with the default blog template.... I forgot to change something in the template_sideWindow($array) function....
I make changes on my template files and then I make the changes to the default template version.... Anyways.. find the following in Blog.template.php:
global $context;
// it's done this way for ordering purposes...
for ($i = 1; $i <= count($context['blog']['sideWindows']); $i++)
{
replace with:
global $context, $settings, $scripturl, $txt;
if (empty($context['viewing_blog_index']))
$sideWindows = $context['blog']['sideWindows'];
else
$sideWindows = $context['blog']['blogIndexSideWindows'];
// it's done this way for ordering purposes...
for ($i = 1; $i <= count($sideWindows); $i++)
{
This is probably why your side windows weren't working right. Also... the rss_feed is a txt variable which *should* be in your Blog language file.
edit---
About that mysql error at line 724... did you do the fixes that I suggested? It has to do with $context['visible_blogs'] being empty....

Charles, the msql is gone.. error no more.. i re did the db and then applied your mod and the rest of them.. one at a time,, to double check, as this is a paid job for me..
only errors now are the rss and side windows.. i will make the corrections now and thank you for helping me out with this..
if i can not find the rss txt variable, could you post it up for me please?
@SmokyBlue... Oh I just went to find it in my language files and apparently I forgot to put it in the Blog language file.
It's $txt['rss_feed'] = 'RSS Feed';
thank you very much Charles.. i am sure this is going to be a great mod..
keep up the good work you are doing with it.. you are a life saver ;)
much better!!!!
thank you tons Charles.. the edits are great.. no errors from the mod at all now.. i love it when its like that!! yes!! lol 22 mods with zero errors..
thanks again Charles.. ;)
You're very welcome :)
mine is still broken :'(
;D
Could you attach your Blog.php please?

Undefined index
i have enabled everything i can.. still nothing gives..
You have enabled PHP error reporting in PHP ini I guess.. or SMF does so..(I hope not).
Undefined isnt really an error often, but just means a string is empty.. and it will be when you start new at something (such as blog)
Usually, in PHP5, it means that a variable is empty.. and can be solved by setting a value to it..
$i=0; //init temp var (to prevent emty strings errors, where things havent been properly initialized.)
I usually turn off error reporting, because it isnt really "errors", and will populate the error log at SMF to be HUGE
Add this at bottom of Settings.php if you want to get rid of it all
// Turn off all error reporting
error_reporting(0);
or
ini_set('display_errors', 0)
Will prevent the error log in SMF to get huge with all these petty small "errors" that arent really important..
And its a pain to get all the mod developers to do what PHP really likes (initialize everything)...
I dont really want to see all these "errors" logged.. so that what I do :) I mean, the SMF forum works fine with all my mods.. But its bound to produce a lot of these small "errors" that php reports to log (even if all works fine)
Disadvantage is of course that it turns off ALL error logs.
If you want it only at certain mods/scripts, you can add the stuff at top of the pages, instead of Settings.php
:)
id rather keep my log clean to start with, that way, should something ever go wrong, i wont have tons of errors to go thru, i will know immediately what did cause the errors and i can fix them, but each to their own.. :)
the blog is a kewl feature and i really do like it.. i might play with it more.. ;)

here you go charles ;D
@ robbie... what is the URL you are going to for the other people's blog control panel?
edit--- and where is the link at that you are clicking?
You should note that the b102 error (the one you're experiencing) occurs for one of two reasons....
1... you are trying to view another user's blog control panel and you are not an admin
2... you are trying to view the blog control panel of a user that does not exist... ie the 'u' request variable IS set AND does not equal to the ID of an existing user in your site.
here is the url to the error
http://robbie93andhotchildxox.net/index.php?action=blogControlPanel;u=1;blog=310
here is the url to the control panel
http://robbie93andhotchildxox.net/index.php?action=blogs
I get the error when as admin go to check a members blog
and the member exists :D
at the moment I cant even access the control panel for members blogs I am going to disable the blog because as of now it is worthless :o
this is a really good mod charles but at the moment it has too many bugs in it :-[
hard to see what you are pointing too robbie, when you have the site disabled for guest viewing..
unless you can provide a temporay access.. ;)
thats the thing smoky, I have it set for guest viewing :-\
I am gonna delete the mod I give up :'( :o
that isnt the mod doing that robbie..
its your forum setting.. they arent allowing for guests to see the site..
I changed it so that guests could view Blogs but it didnt work lol
does the mod work for you smoky?
@ robbie93... Find "Allow guests to browse the forum" on the following page:
http://robbie93andhotchildxox.net/index.php?action=featuresettings
the person i installed it for has no issues with the mod now..
Robbie.. if Charles cant help you by the time i wrap up, maybe late tomorrow, i will edit for you.. just pm me to remind ok?? ;)
Editing is not required... he just doesn't understand that he has to make his site accessible to guests for guests to be able to view his blog community. As for his b102 error... The URLs he gave are confusing... He is trying to access user #1's blog control panel? Isn't that the admin (him)? The second address he gave was to the blog index.... You can't get the b102 error there.
i do agree.. after i did the edits you said to, there has been no more issues with the mod at all..
but maybe the files are umm missing a bit?? might cause errors to happen, anyways Robbie, if you still need help, post up ;)
I haven't had time to install your new v2 version yet, but I'm dying to... can't wait! It really looks amazing. I'm hoping to get it installed this weekend. I was curious if you might have a newer version out before then. If not, that's fine... I'll just install v2.0.2 and apply the fixes you've posted in this thread. Thanks again for the great work Charles!
I haven't gotten to work yet on any of the new things I wanted to add / finish. I have already made the couple fixes for a new version though. All of which are in the Blog files (not smf source or theme files).
I've been rebuilding my store front. It is almost usable. Once I get that working I will get to work on 2.0.3 Beta and some add-ons.
how about commentors avatars?
i'm having an unusual problem. the blog community thing works great for the admins! but when a member tries to create a blog, they get a page that says an error has occurred. but it doesn't say WHAT error occurred. i do have it set to community blogging mode. i thought maybe i could get around this by setting up blogs for the members, but it doesn't appear that i'm able to do that.
any suggestions? here's a link to the forum it's on. http://2glorify.com
do you have any errors in the log? if so, could you list them?? :)
Apply Filter: Only show the error messages of this URL http://2glorify.com/index.php?action=blogControlPanel;u=113
Apply Filter: Only show the errors with the same message
8: Undefined index: cannot_write_blog
File: /home/cprice/public_html/Sources/Errors.php
Line: 337
Ahhh... Yes I forgot to include the error language strings :( I'm a goofball.
Here they are...
$txt['cannot_write_blog'] = 'Sorry, but you are not allowed to blog.';
$txt['cannot_multiple_blogs'] = 'Sorry, but you are not allowed to have multiple blogs.';
$txt['cannot_pseudo_independent_blog'] = 'Sorry, but you are not allowed to use the pseudo-independent blog setting.';
$txt['cannot_blog_restrict_access'] = 'Sorry, but you are not allowed to restrict access to your blogs.';
$txt['cannot_blog_set_posting_restrictions'] = 'Sorry, but you are not allowed to set posting restrictions for your blogs.';
$txt['cannot_delete_own_blogs'] = 'Sorry, but you are not allowed to delete your own blogs.';
You'll need to add those at the end of your Errors.english.php language file or whatever language you are using.
ok, so if i add those to the end of that page, people will know that they aren't allowed to blog, but WHY aren't they allowed to? i've got it set to community mode, i want people to be able to use it.... can i fix that?
ok, let me rephrase that question... i checked the permissions for each group and they were all off. i'm turning them on now. but why were they off? when i set it to community mode, shouldn't it have turned them all on?
its just like any other setting in the forum Lady C, if you dont give permission they cant use it ;)
thanks Charles, i was going to ask about that as well ;)
Yes you need to give the member groups the write_blog permission for them to be able to access their blog control panel and create a blog. Look for "Can make their own blog" under the permission group "Blog" in your Administrator area of your site (Members > Permissions).
I need to uninstall an older version of this.
Would you happen to have previous versions?
Which version do you need?
Not sure, but my Blog.template.php is v1.11.
I see there have been A LOT of changes recently!
I posted the install.xml from v1.11 a few pages ago in this topic... Here's the link:
http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=244848.msg1703476#msg1703476
That should help you manually uninstall v1.11
edit---
You should note that there have been a few minor issues with 2.0.2 Beta and I've posted a few fixes in this topic also.
Thanks - apparently it's not 1.1 I have this in Post.php....

Sorry I don't have version earlier than 1.11. But it's safe to assume that the code right there is part of an older version of the blog mod :)
Is it compatible with smf 1.1.4
I dont know. But if you're still running a forum at 1.1.4 you should really consider upgrading to 1.1.6... There are several security vulnerabilities that have to be corrected.
Do I need to uninstall first all mods and later install them again or i can upgrade my smf directly without uninstalling all mods?
You can use an upgrade package. Some of the changes you've made to your sources files might cause problems, but you should be able to make the necessary changes manually if you encounter any problems. Upgrading won't undo your currently installed mods.

Thanks for advice. I just finished my upgrade. I had some problems so i was forced to upgrade it manually. All mods are working fine, just for two of them ("nneonneo's AJAX ShoutBox" and "SMF 1.0.13 / 1.1.5 / 2.0 b3.1 Update") it displays like there are not installed but they work normal. In a fact shoutbox works normal and i even don't know where form appeared the second one!? Is it a problem?
once you upgraded, the version of some mods that you have installed may not be supported under the new version... so there is no uninstall option. The mod is still installed, you'll just have to uninstall it manually if youd ecide to get rid of it.
Thanks! O:)
Using the "Note" theme for 1.1.6. Installed fine, and works in IE. In Firefox, the link to the blog is placed as the second button, but doesn't actually appear as a button, rather it's just floating text. In Opera, it appears at the end, not as a button, but as text, but in an appropriate spot. Let me show some screen shots:
I suppose I should use the theme link tree function to show the blog link tree. Would make compatibility between themes a lot easier :)
I have not used your theme, so I couldn't tell you how to fix that. I am not the best person to ask about CSS problems.
That's ok. At least you know what it does with this newer theme.
Can you post up what the code is that you modified for the blog here, and please use the [ code ] code [/ code ] tags? :)

and the index.template.php.... well that might be more efficiently displayed by looking at:This (http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?mod=1209) = manual instructions for installation for 1.1.6
For TP - how can i only show left ang right block in all blog sections?

no!! you do not mess with the css..
as for the button not showing up correct.. what i am saying is to look at how i coded the buttons for the rest.. if you use the default way of coding, of course it will be screwy and not match the theme i created.
first you do the theme edits for the index.template.php file.. when you get down to the bottom of the file, you will see:
// Show the [help] button.
this is where the blog button will be going!! "after" the help button,
for the default theme it should look like this:
// Show the [Blogs] button.
echo ($current_action=='blog' || $context['browser']['is_ie4']) ? '<td class="maintab_active_' . $first . '"> </td>' : '' , '
<td valign="top" class="maintab_' , $current_action == 'blog' ? 'active_back' : 'back' , '">
<a href="', $scripturl, '?action=blogs">' , $txt['b1a'] , '</a>
</td>' , $current_action == 'blog' ? '<td class="maintab_active_' . $last . '"> </td>' : '';and for the theme "note" it will be this:
// Show the [Blogs] button.
echo '<li', $current_action == 'blog' ? ' class="chosen"' : '', '><a href="', $scripturl, '?action=blog">' , $txt['b1a'] , '</a></li>';i hope this helps you and any moore issues, post them up as well.. also, if you would like to show the theme off, please post a link for that as well..
thanks!! :)

if you look in the blog control panel (admin>blog control panel) you will see it under the admin only options:
Blog index side bar
and just chose the option you wish.. ;)
Smoky, I think he was asking about how to disable only some of the Tiny Portal blocks when viewing blog community pages.
At the moment you can't do that. I suppose I could add that functionality though.
oh ok Charles.. ;)
Charles, do you have a few SSI function, such like latest blogs, recently added or som. like that?
I had installed SMF Blog, then found this one. I uninstalled SMF Blog (with some errors, which I foolishly didn't check manually afterwards), and installed this Blog Community, with no errors. I am running SMF 1.1.6.
The blogs worked fine, as far as I can tell. I only have a problem when I click on "Blog Control Panel" in the Admin side panel. It gives me back:
An Error Has Occurred!
Unable to load the 'main' template.
I'm quite capable of editing the code, but I have no idea where to start on this, since the mod said it installed without errors. Any ideas?
Also, are the attachments supposed to work? I can't get them to display. I also can't find a way to add tags.
Thanks for this great Mod! Even without the admin controls, it works fine, but I would like everything working fully.

No there aren't any SSI functions yet. You could help me out by giving me some ideas for SSI functions that you would like to have.
@Abavagada... No attachments don't work yet. You need to change the Blog Control Panel anchor's href. You can find this in Sources/Subs.php. The link should be http://www.yoursite.com/index.php?action=blogControlPanel. You add tags when you write a new article. They are created automatically for you.

As long as I know the attachments don't work, I won't worry about them then.
I found another place to change the link reference, so fixed that, thanks.
I still don't understand about the tags. I turned on global tags in the admin control panel, but still couldn't create any when I posted. What is that function supposed to be doing?
Thanks again!

Well Smoky is the one who helped you with that. And she is not a sir :)
@Abavagada.. If you go to the post page (write new article), you will see an input field for Tags. You just write in any tags you want to use separating each tag with a comma. Any new tags (ones you havent used before) will be automatically added to the tags table for you. The global tags window simply displays tags from all the blogs that are visible to a user viewing the blog index. The windows on your blog index page just pull info from all the visible blogs from your blogging community.
Whoops! Two things. First, sorry for the missed sex assignment! Many thanks, good lady!
Secondly, I just found out that it's not as functional as I thought. After altering the code from:
// Show the [Blogs] button.
echo ($current_action=='blog' || $context['browser']['is_ie4']) ? '<td class="maintab_active_' . $first . '"> </td>' : '' , '
<td valign="top" class="maintab_' , $current_action == 'blog' ? 'active_back' : 'back' , '">
<a href="', $scripturl, '?action=blogs">' , $txt['b1a'] , '</a>
</td>' , $current_action == 'blog' ? '<td class="maintab_active_' . $last . '"> </td>' : '';
to
// Show the [Blogs] button.
echo '<li', $current_action == 'blog' ? ' class="chosen"' : '', '><a href="', $scripturl, '?action=blog">' , $txt['b1a'] , '</a></li>';
The button actually just re-routes me back to the "Home" button. Thoughts?
change:
href="', $scripturl, '?action=blog"
to:
href="', $scripturl, '?action=blogs"
That's it, right there! Perfect. Working perfectly!

I guessed there should be an entry for tags, but there isn't one.
I just created an new blog, in case it was a problem with the previous one. Still no box to enter tags.
Including a screen shot:
(https://www.simplemachines.org/community/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.abavagada.net%2Fnotags.jpg&hash=f57bb4c7ddb83757fdf0c0f4393713b9f0e79be6)
how to show users avatar in comment?
@Abavagada... Could you post your Post.template.php here?
@qubbah... That would require editing the getBlogComments function's mysql query and the associative array that it returns. Then you'd need to edit the blog template.
Too big to post here...
I uploaded it to a single directory here:
http://www.abavagada.net/code
And the direct link:
http://www.abavagada.net/code/Post.template.php
Thanks
QuoteI guessed there should be an entry for tags, but there isn't one.
if you already have the default tags set up, the person posting the blog only has to choose what they like for tags ;)
Change log so far for 2.0.3 Beta...
2.0.3 Beta -
*fixed* csshover.htc now included to fix CSS hover problem in IE6 and earlier
*fixed* View Results link for polls now links to the article page and displays the results of the poll properly. If hiding articles with polls in them is enabled, the most recent articles are shown (as if viewing the main blog page).
*fixed* Errors language strings now added to Errors language file (forgot them in previous 2.0.x Beta versions).
*fixed* Problem with Blog Index windows and some regular blog windows not displaying properly, because of a template problem.
*fixed* Mysql error when a user who did not have permission to view any blogs tried to view the blog index (and at least one blog did exist)
*fixed* various Undefined index errors
*fixed* articles/topics in blogs will now get marked read properly
*fixed* when a user who was not allowed to access a blog (which is displayed without forum layers) the error page they saw was header'less and style'less ... fixed this by handling the error with $context['blog']['blogError'] instead of fatal_lang_error()
*improved* pages that are served by using any of the following request variables will no longer be indexed by search engines because they display very similar content to other pages: sort, desc, all
*improved* Blogs on the board index are not shown to users who are not allowed to view them
*improved* Truncation of body text in comments and articles on main blog pages. The body text will be cut off at the first space after the maximum number of characters has been reached. Also, broken html tags are closed automatically.
If you would like to make suggestions please post them :)
very nice Charles.. :)
Do you have an ETA on v2.0.3?
Somehow, the tags have now shown up. I guess the post template didn't get moved properly to the theme. I have them now.
Thanks again for this great mod!
Charles.. I have a question.. when do you think it will be ready for the newer smf release?
and also, what type plug ins do you think could work with this? I think i really do like this mod of yours and i can see it working in a few different ways.. very nice lol..
cheers!! ;D
Thanks , thanks , thanks
For upgrade i can overwrite the blogs.template and blogs??
i updated by un installing the blog and then re installing it ;)

I won't be making it compatible with SMF 2.0 until Blog Community is closer to being bug free. Plus it still seems to me that they are going to make some changes to SMF 2.0... makes me not want to rush into anything just yet.
I have several ideas for plug-ins already:
Ad management
Ad revenue sharing
Article ratings

@ NIBOGO... 2.0.3 Beta isn't available yet. I just wanted to let everyone know what I had done so far.

that sounds great Charles.. if i wasnt so backed up, or can make the time, i have a few ideas myself.. im thinking radio/mp3 player, perhaps some kind of download type block, either for tp/sp/portamx or the downloads mod from smf.. also a way to perhaps change the colors of "memeber" blogs to the group colors (ie: for admin, its red) and some more but want to get them all written down, and not sure on how complicated.. i do like the simple.. ;)

tnx for this "Charles Hill"

i just made Serbian translate, so if you are intersting i will atach it here.reply
This may be more of a feature than a plugin... but how about a [more] tag? Then instead of using the "Maximum length of articles on the main wetspot page" setting, you could place this tag where you wanted the article to break. Then it would show a [Read more...] link at that spot, rather than cutting it off at some unknown point in the middle of a paragraph. The tag could also be used as the bookmark/anchor when bringing up the full article.
Hum, I ran into an issue..
I got a very old version of Blog installed, version 1.11.. And it gives me a few "Test failed" when trying to uninstall..
Since the version I got installed is not around anymore, how to I go about to manually uninstall now? :)
I want to upgrade to the latest version of Blog Community
if you would, via ftp, find in the packages area the old blog package, and download that to your desktop..
open it up and all the xml files.. then figure out where your errors are, on what page, and find out what you need to remove..
if you need help, pm me with your ftp details and a test admin acct and i will remove it for you.. :)
Quote from: mediabob on September 13, 2008, 07:36:32 PM
There are actually two edits to make, you have to add it to the button array and add in the button code. Unzip the blog archive on your local machine and open install.xml and find the edits made to index.template.php and make those edits to index.template.php in your current theme.
Charles,
It's taken me a few days to respond to this, but it's still an issue.
Now, I followed the instructions in the "add button" Docs, as much as possible, as well as copying the actual button code from the default index.template.php to the theme (DMC_115). I have no idea what to look for as far as the install.xml file goes... nor what to do.
But the buttons still won't show up. I'm trying to add them to the DMC_115 theme.
Help....
Mo
Have you read this article I wrote about adding nav links to your main nav menu?
http://degreesofzero.com/index.php/topic,21.0.html
Charles,
Since I copied it from the default theme, understanding the code wasn't the problem...
Actually, though, I discovered the problem was a glitch. For some reason my php editor had not saved the file as a php file... >:( (grrrrrr-- not to you... to the php editor...)
I since corrected it and it works perfectly now...
But thanks. That article is a good explanation of the coding, which I had been pestering antechinus about...

Someone had suggested just this actually. It's a good idea and I intend to add it :)
@trackermo... Happy to hear you got things sorted out :)
Charles,
Here's a really, REALLY stupid question... and maybe I should just continue hunting for the answer... How do you edit a blog article? Maybe others never edit... but I am one to edit, then re-edit, then add another thought... so editing is absolutely crucial...
But, though I've looked all around, I can find no way to edit a blog...
Thanks!
Mo
on the blog you will see the first blog post.. right??
there are 2 buttons on the top right, "share and options.." it is the paper and pencil on the very left that will let you edit the blog.. :)
Smoky Blue,
Hmmm.... well, there you are!
Because that's not showing up... I have Lock, Share, Print and Notify. But no pencil. Boo-hoo. It also doesn't show up in my default theme...
I wonder if it has to do with the way I set up blogs in the admin area... checking...
Mo
You're the admin and the edit isn't showing up but other options are?
Yep...
Mo
Uhhh. Are you getting any errors in the error log? Does edit_16.gif exist on your server at Themes/default/images/icons ?
I have the same problem. The admin only buttons are not there, and if they are there they are not clickable. Strange...

I'm getting tons of errors... I've already posted about them under
Forum Error Logs (http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=264310.msg1725561#msg1725561) and have added examples there.
Also, yes, I checked and the edit_16.gif is right there... so close, yet so far... (
sniff!)
Mo
There are no "admin only options" on the blog pages...... If a user has the necessary permissions to do something, they will show up.
So an admin can not edit or delete blogposts?

Ah.... didnt think about that, that the old package was still on the server ;) thanx ;)
Admins can do anything
tested the new 2.0x version just now.. and loving it ;)
One thing I cant quite figure out....
If in blog community mode... the blog index page has a side bar, where one can choose side or no display.
But the side bar has no content.
Would love content in blog index page (community mode), where it would show stuff like "recent comments", "most viewed" etc... globally, for all the blogs
Is there such a thing, or planned such a thing?
There are currently two side windows for the blog index. One for global tags and one for global Most Recent articles. I will be making more :)
Also, you should note that 2.0.2 Beta has a problem that will prevent your side windows from functioning properly. You will have to fix the template with the fix I posted:
http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=244848.msg1709532#msg1709532
On a side note... last night I discovered something useful I could add to the blog index page... an OPML feed (Outline Processor Markup Language). It's like an RSS feed, except it displays an organized list of RSS feeds instead of articles/posts. I added this last night in a couple hours of work. Also, since SMF doesn't have this functionality, I will make my OPML feed usable for regular forum boards as well.
Hey Charles Hill, Have you got the converter prepared for felblog to smfblog.
Because i like your blog and needs to install after felblog data were retrieved.
Sorry, but that is just not very high on my priority list at the moment. I am more interested in making a converter for Word press to Blog Community.
Ok that is also a good thing.
Will you help me to install the smf blog mod . because i got 2 or 3 error in one file.
Could i upload the page for edits, i have tried and it doesn't works good.
attach your files asudhakar, and if you cant figure it out, i can help..
btw.. just showing off my new theme with the blog:
http://www.pixelbypaint.com/forum/index.php?action=blogs :)
Thank you SmokyBlue, I saw your blog and its really superb. :D
I got two test failed.
11. Execute Modification ./Sources/Recent.php Test failed
22. Execute Modification ./Themes/default/index.template.php Test failed
Let me know whether to install with errors and replace the files you are going to edit.
Thanks for Advance.
here ya go.. let me know if anything else needs adjusting.. ;)
and thanks for the complement on my theme..
Thank you Smoky Blue. Could i install with test failed and then replace the file.
Or Initially replace the file and then install the blog.
install and then replace.. you should be good to go.
i left the fels blogg on there.. i hope it will all run right.. let me know :)

This error i got after installing and replacing the file.
please use code tags...
Line 68 is missing a single quote and a double quote and has extra code.... and then 69 seems off too....

69: (empty($context['robot_no_index']) ? '' : '<meta name="robots" content="noindex" />','

Am using PHP designer. Its shows error on the same line.
link to your site.
this is the code from my site and it works.. not sure what you are doing, but if i can elp, tat is good, and if not ten maybe Charles can help you out..
being the fact you also have fels blog on there as well, i am not sure what to tell you..
what is php designer?
-edit- oh, ICK! why bother? Just use a text editor. ConText, NotePad++ and UltraEdit all have syntax highlighting as well.
Avoid using in-browser text editors... They are slow and usually aren't anywhere near as good as an application text editor on your computer like the ones Kindred has mentioned.
Hi Charles and Kindred ,
you were correct.
I have directly applied the code in my notepad and then forwarded it to my panel.
Still its showing error in the meta tag where blog title were automatically loaded.
Could you help me out .
@asudhakar....
I found the error in that index.template.php... Find:
(!empty($context['blog']['meta']['description']) ? $context['blog']['meta']['description'] : $context['page_title']) . />'
replace with:
(!empty($context['blog']['meta']['description']) ? $context['blog']['meta']['description'] : $context['page_title']) . '/>'
Just a suggestion Charles... a blog template similar to this SMF theme (http://www.smfthemes.org/index.php?theme=583) would look very cool... especially if the blog owner could select/upload their own background image.
Thank you Charles, I got it working perfectly.
Now I was creating a seperate board for blogs.
I got the following errors.

I like your idea a lot.
I have smiled once after looking at your idea.
Ya I had thought about trying to make a theme that has transparent "windows" for the content. I'll be getting to working on the blog theme feature soon :) That is going to probably be the coolest feature.
Last night I completely redid how blog_settings are done. Now instead of each setting having its own row (and each blog having 50+ rows in the blog_settings table), each blog has just one row with 50+ columns. This will drastically improve long term performance (especially if your blog community ends up having hundreds of blogs). Additionally, this allowed me to get rid of a large query for loading just blog settings. These are now loaded via loadBoard() instead.
Also I redid how things are handled when a blog does not have any settings saved yet... If a user goes to a blog's page in the blog control panel and that blog does not have a row in the blog_settings table, one is created for it using the default settings and any info available from the boards table related to that blog.
It all sounds complicated I know... Basically things are a lot more stable/solid now.
edit---
@asudhakar...
Those are all errors I have covered in previous posts in this topic.
Hi Charles,
Its late night in India.
Am moving now.
I have created on blog and found its be a separate board.
So I could have only for few members only. If there are several member. Then what about the entire board count will move up to 1000.
Could we have this only as a topic in a common board.
All looks good . Even tagging system is perfect.
Congrates on future upgrade you have mentioned above. And tomorrow morning i will work on the error by referring all the topics.

Charles,
Here's a really, REALLY stupid question... and maybe I should just continue hunting for the answer... How do you edit a blog article? Maybe others never edit... but I am one to edit, then re-edit, then add another thought... so editing is absolutely crucial...
But, though I've looked all around, I can find no way to edit a blog...
Thanks!
Mo
This is still a problem... as you may recall I (and presumably all members) cannot edit our blog posts... because the edit link/icon is not showing up. And it happens in both the default theme and others... it doesn't matter.
Any suggestions?
Mo
any errors in the log?? if you have firfox and webdev or fiebug, you can see if there is any missing images.. but the link show be showing up for you..
are you using a custom theme, and if so, did you make sure to do the right edits to the theme?? and move a copy of the images to the new theme??
do you see the 2 buttons that say share and options?? its in the options area..

Excuse me? What part of
"...And it happens in both the default theme and others... it doesn't matter" is unclear? I KNOW it's supposed to be under the options... I only repeated the first post on this topic as a reminder... but we went through all the normal questions... And I did check-- the image is in the images file.
Mo
have you checked the edits to the files? do you have any errors in your error log in the admin? (second tiime i have asked)
how about a test admin acct?? you could send the info to Chuck Hill and he could check it out better.. or i can..
and i do hope you get this resolved. nothing is unclear, but it helps if you answer questions so that someone can help you.. repeating what you type doesnt help without the right info that is being asked of you. Thanks!! :)

I have found that using FireFox, the edit buttons are there.
Its an issue with IE 6
okay... I'll try it. Although I'm using IE 7... hmmm.
Mo
Sorry, thats what i ment.
The latest IE is what i was using on both machines i used to test it.
http://www.pixelbypaint.com/forum/index.php?action=blogs
ie 7 can view the edit button on PixelbyPaint.com is that the ie 8 you are using?
Blog.Serbian-utf8.php (Latinic)
Translate is Attached with post :D
@trackermo... Could you make an account for me to use so that I can see exactly what the problem is (make sure the account has permission to make a blog)? Just send me a pm on here with the login/pass.
@ravac... I appreciate you making translations of the text strings. However, you should know that the text strings are still in the process of change, so some strings might be removed and others added.
About the IE problems... Yes IE6 and earlier have problems with css hover. I have compensated for this problem by using csshover.htc. This will be included in 2.0.3 Beta.
whatever, when come final strings i will translate again, there is no problem :)
I could see 2.0.3 Beta in degrees of zero.
When a release note will be updated.
Actually what I am running on Degrees of Zero (live site) is not the most up to date :)
My dev site has the most up to date... I am still trying to get the OPML feed to work right and I am looking through topics/posts to find people's suggestions that I haven't included yet. I've been using Google to find websites that ARE blog communities that developed their software just for their purposes and I am noticing just how awesome this Blog Community mod I made is.... I am having a hard time finding features on other sites that I have not included in this software and I am 99.999% sure that none of those sites have a control panel anywhere near as powerful/easy to use as this one is.
Yes charles hill,
you are right, i like the control panel. Its really has all the interfaces.
I would like to contribute in developing a help menu.
Because when i first implemented i was in bit of fear. Whether these changes will cause something to our forum and all.
I want to develope a video what says how to install first , setting up admin account - Most important - what is single mode and community mode etc.
For those i have to get prepared of these settings.
For instance, am using community mode and saw one board is occupied when i create only one blog.
so if 100 members wants there seperate blog then 100 boards no will be occupied is it.
If i enable to have multiple board for all.
Then if someone creates second board, will that take separate board id or it will be child of first blog / board he/she had created.
Having a help section within the mod would be useful. I would really appreciate help in developing such a section, as I have limited time as it is.
QuoteThen if someone creates second board, will that take separate board id or it will be child of first blog / board he/she had created.
There's an interesting idea.... But this would be difficult to implement and it would open up a can of worms (could create a bunch of new problems)... What if you want to delete their first blog (the one that had all the others created under it)? Would have to reassign all the others to be the children of their second blog. Would get really messy. But I do see the benefit of doing it that way. Would make the board index more organized if you aren't hiding the blog boards on the board index.
Yes charles hill, i will start work on the help menu video soon.
you have raised a good question and answer is too good with details.
Let me ask in one another way. I want to use only one board . Take the assigned board no is 80.
So when ever new user adds new blog with the write permission to only one blog per user.
Will this create new blog with new board id as 81 or how this will look like.
Whatever the answer is? I want the additional users board to host something like 80.user1 or 80.1 as board number or something.
Because it does not have a meaning if the blog is going to create n numbers of boards.
Every blog you create is in actuality a board... But it is treated differently than other boards. When any user creates a new blog they are actually creating a new board.
Ok i got it,
Is single blog mode allow all the users to create a blog under this single blog mode.
Single blog mode allows you to have just one blog.
finally got a chance to straighten up the theme Charles.. see attached..
got some new ideas floating around, will catch up with you soon.. :)
http://www.pixelbypaint.com/forum/index.php?blog=4.0
also.. new poll on my site for blog themes..
I created a new site to test this out before installing it on my live site.
I have SMF 1.1.6 fresh install, bridged with the latest Mambo 4.6.5.
All seems great, but for some reason when accessing the blogs link it jumps out of the mambo site into it's own window.. Any ideas here?
url is www.dvds.com.au as I said, just a test site.
probably because the link was hardcoded rather than using $scripturl or $boardurl.
I've never worked with iframes before... Plus I am not entirely sure what problem you're having. You need to be more specific if possible. Otherwise I don't know what is causing a problem.

See here: http://www.dvds.com.au/index.php?option=com_smf&Itemid=3
That is SMF wrapped inside Mambo. As you can see it's a default install of SMF and it's sitting nicely inside the Mambo theme thanks to the bridge.
When you click blogs: http://www.dvds.com.au/index.php?option=com_smf&Itemid=3&action=blogs
It does seem to be using the $scripturl to me according to the URL anyway, because the URL looks the same with &action=blogs on the end. But as you can clearly see it's no longer wrapped inside the Mambo theme as it was when viewing the forum only.
Any help would be appreciated.
Make sure "Toggle all blog pages to display without forum layers" is NOT checked. If it isn't.... then I have no idea why it is doing that at this time. I have yet to test it with smf bridged to mambo.
If you do figure out what was causing this and fix the problem, please post your solution here so that if others encounter the same problem they know what to do :)
Quote from: Charles Hill on October 02, 2008, 08:39:36 PM

It was checked, but I have unchecked it and it made no difference.
If I click the Blog Control Panel while on the blog page, it goes back to wrapped. So i'm guessing it's something to do with the styling of the blogs page.
I really have no idea where to start though :(
Thanks for looking into it though. Cheers.
Seems to only be that page, when I went to post a blog, it jumped back to being wrapped.
So must be that one page.
I suggest:
1-) Import articles from other blogs :)
2-) Pretty Urls Support :D
Thanks charles
Anyone willing to install this for me on the Grungy theme? Please?!
Charles I update my tinyportal to v1.06 and the blocks are in my blogs :s
Please fix this little bug ^^
I had a feeling that they might mess something up..... Sigh... I'll look into it when I get some time.

Thanks Charles maybe you can add this to the v2.0.3 features
Very good mod for me, and i have traslated it to Italian language.
Only a problem: when i remove a blog, i receive this message
"You have articles in questo blog. If you continue, those articles will be deleted along with questo blog. Are you absolutely sure you want to delete questo blog?"
( i translated "this" with "questo")
and i can't tranlate this from language file.
And final, a question; i can istall it on my board? If a new version it's released, it's simple to update?
if you remove a blog, the post and replies to a blog will be deleted as well ;)
About that piece of text not existing in the language file... It was hard-coded before, but for 2.0.3 Beta it will exist in multiple strings in the language file.
It'll be a few more days until version 2.0.3 Beta is ready. Here's the change log (as of today). You should note that there are still a few things I am going to add that are not in this list.
*fixed* csshover.htc now included to fix CSS hover problem in Internet Explorer 6 (and earlier IE versions)
*fixed* View Results link for polls now links to the article page and displays the results of the poll properly. If hiding articles with polls in them is enabled, the most recent articles are shown (as if viewing the main blog page).
*fixed* Errors language strings now added to Errors language file (forgot them in previous 2.0.x Beta versions).
*fixed* Problem with Blog Index windows and some regular blog windows not displaying properly, because of a template problem.
*fixed* Mysql error when a user who did not have permission to view any blogs tried to view the blog index (and at least one blog did exist)
*fixed* various Undefined index errors
*fixed* articles/topics in blogs will now get marked read properly
*fixed* when a user who was not allowed to access a blog (which is displayed without forum layers) the error page they saw was header'less and style'less (fixed this by handling the error with $context['blog']['blogError'] instead of fatal_lang_error()
*improved* pages that are served by using any of the following request variables will no longer be indexed by search engines because they display very similar content to other pages: sort, desc, all, asc, start (if isset and empty)
*improved* Blogs on the board index are not shown to users who are not allowed to view them
*improved* Truncation of body text in comments and articles on main blog pages. The body text will be cut off at the first space after the maximum number of characters has been reached. Also, broken html tags are closed automatically.
*improved* construct page index function (did not alter one in Subs.php... using altered version in BlogSubs.php)
- added anchor titles
- span tags around each element (with a few unique classes) in page index to make customization with css a lot easier
*added* BLOG THEMES... this is one of the most powerful features. Users who are allowed to set a blog to display without forum template layers can pick from any of the currently installed Blog Themes that your website has. This will allow blogs to look much different from the rest of your site.
*added* custom windows for blog index
*added* reordering of blog index side windows
*added* pagination for main blog pages
*added* "Remove poll" link to polls
*added* Blog Preferences:
- Every user can access the Blog Preferences page of their Blog Control Panel to play around with various personal options they have for the blog community
- Example: newest_comments_first (which would display the most recent comments on an article first)
- Note that even if users cannot make their own blogs, they can still use the blog preferences page of their blog control panel. However, their experience with the blog control panel will be much different from users who do have permission to make their own blogs.
*added* New admin-only settings...
- Maximum length of blog descriptions
- Column with which to sort the blog index by default
- Sort blogs in blog index ascending or descending by default
*added* Blog maintenance page which will auto-detect if there is a problem with either the blog_preferences table or blog_settings table. If a problem is discovered, it will tell you and you can click the "fix" link to fix the problem.
*changed* Show blogs page now handled from BlogControlPanel.php instead of Profile.php
*changed* blog_settings table restructured to improve long term performance (having 10,000 rows in the blog_settings table as opposed to 200 when there are 200 blogs in your community just does not make sense)
*changed* Blog names must be unique now
*changed* Combined all of the 16x16 share icons into one image and combined all of the action icons into one image. Image sprites are used to display these icons now. This will improve performance and save bandwidth.
*changed* Table headers are now created with one easy function. Additionally, table headers have titles (visible on mouseover) and will maintain asc, desc, all, sort, start request variables.
*changed* Almost all of Blog Community's files are now located in the new BlogCommunity directory which is located in your forum's main directory.
Charles
i have been thinking on this, perhaps a first plugin as a tag cloud.. might serve the tags even better
not sure if i suggested this already lol but just in case!!!
and great new adjustments to the blog!!
thank you ;D
I love it charles , great job , You will fix the bug with TP v1,06???
I'll try to make the hide portal blocks setting work properly for Tiny Portal v1.06, yes. Hopefully they won't keep changing things...
Umm, if bbc codes work in custom windows, how come I get this (http://emperium.uni.cc/forums/index.php?blog=21.0), on the blog page. I mean in the preview it works. Also, the weird "\" when using an apostrophe keeps showing up after it is set up.
@Emperium... Ya that was a problem with 2.0.2 Beta. It has been fixed for 2.0.3 Beta. I even just tested it on my dev site to make sure :)
Example here:
http://dev.degreesofzero.com/index.php?bc=blogs
Sweet, so when the 2.0.3 is out I can simply just add the upgrade package to the package manager, it will overwrite and add the files it needs? Also will all the settings and blog content (articles and polls) be intact? Hopefully it doesn't create any problems or epic crashes.
I won't be making an upgrade package this time, because only 6 people used the last one... Not worth me spending 2 days on. Besides, there aren't that many edits on the SMF files anyways. As for the information in your blogs right now. Yes, everything will remain intact.
Ah, so if I were to uninstall and delete the blog 2.0.2 package on admin panel and add/install/apply 2.0.3, everything will look the way it was but, only better? I'm surprised settings and content would remain intact, excellent work!
Well the only reason settings and other information would be destroyed is if the database was messed with upon installing or uninstalling. There is a major difference between version 2.0.3 Beta and 2.0.2 Beta with the blog_settings table, but even with completely restructuring that table your data inside the table is preserved. Also there are some added columns for a few of the blog related tables in the database, but those changes don't affect your current data.
When it is released, i update my language files and i use that for the Forum of my University. ;)
Has this been modified to support individual blogs for each user yet?
Nvm, I see that it has.
I've installed this, and it seems to work for me, but when I log in under a regular member account and click on the "Want your own blog?" link, it gives me a message saying "An Error Has Occurred!"
Any ideas?
http://www.othersi.com
Edit -- Nvm, had to set permissions for regular members. :)
I keep getting this when I go to certain member's blog:
There are no articles to display in this blog.
But they have articles in there.
It goes away when I put it back as a board then create it into a blog. But then it has my avatar where the blogger's avatar is supposed to be and I'm not the blogger.

This happened to me to... we just deleted the blog and made each member there own on a section of our site, less trouble that way. :D
This mod has way to many errors man!
You guys don't give me any specific details about what versions you are running, what other mods you have installed, or anything specific... I cannot fix the problem then.
If you don't want to use it that's fine... your loss :)
Since only you two have ever had this issue... it's most likely a problem with how you installed the mod.
Just stopped in to check on the new version's progress, and thought I'd say hello. Have a great week, Charles. 8)
Thanks, CaptJack :D
I've been building a bug tracking system. It's pretty much done. Just finishing up a couple things and then I'm going to launch it on my live site. After that I will need to test the paypal integration of my store front. Then put the finishing touches on BC 2.0.3 Beta.
Thanks for the update. I'm sure it'll be awesome, and I look forward to it's release. :)

Looks Great I think of this would be a mod of SMF xD
Nice Job ;)
Maybe you can add this features:
* Attachments
* Put projects on the boardindex
* Timeline
* Bugs & Features
* Timelines
* Statics
* Assign features or bugs to a Member or Developer
I have a question on this mod. Well, two. I'm planning to add a blog to my forum, I'm new at this, and I'd rather use an SMF mod than Wordpress, if I can.
(1) Can it syndicate like Wordpress does, from another blog location?
(2) Can it gather excerpts from multiple blogs and put them in one place?
TIA.
1... I have never used word press, could you explain more please?
2... Do you mean input the URL of an RSS feed and have the posts made in that feed be displayed somewhere?
i think that is what he is talking about Charles..
as far as Robbie.. that was your decission, you know you could have come to me and i could have helped you out.. should you decide again to try it out, let me know and i can help.. ;)
Um, he? ;)
Charles, I haven't personally used WP. I like forums better than blogs. But...
(1) A member told me that Wordpress allows her to post on her blog on her site, and it will automatically redirect and update her blog on another site. Basically, two identical blogs on separate locations.
(2) The same member said it's possible to have one block that directly displays excerpt/link combinations from various individual blogs. Again, a WP thing, somehow related to atom or rss.
lol Doc.. i get the same thing.. >:( :D
Hi,
Could i have some help ???
I am using a custom theme and basically i want the Blog button next to the Forum button (right hand side of forum button).
I have added buttons previously without problems but am very confused with this one.
I have uploaded my index.template.php file for my custom theme.
If you would edit it for me that would be great. I notice there are a few things in the index.template.php that need changing but worried to change any of the changes required.
If you could do them for me i would much appreciate it.
Thank you,
Mathew
try this one out.. if it doesnt work, post back ;)
may i ask first where it says:
<meta name="keywords" content="', !empty($context['blog']['meta']['keywords']) ? $context['blog']['meta']['keywords'] : $modSettings['default_meta_keywords'], '" />
before that was changed i had my site keywords in there but now i dont, how is google going to know my keywords if they been removed from this file?
Thanks for helping will try it when you reply back to question.
Mathew
Mathew,
it is done that way on purpose.. your site now, even with the default is like that ;)
directions are in the xml file to edit your custom theme.
the reason?? you now have a blog on your site, that can and will add, not only the default meta tags, that you set in place, but also your memebers can add to it..
this is why it is important to look at the xml file when editing or adding any mod to your site, so that you know exactly what the function is.
now its up to you, to use it to its full potential or not.. personally, i think Charles has a killer idea on the meta.. but again, its on you now ;)
Thanks for the advice, that what i wanted to know whether it used my keywords and ones frmo blogs.
Great! better than i thought as it uses both.
Also it works perfect, thank you for taking the time out to add it for me.
Much appreciated ;D
Thanks ever so much
Mathew
more than welcome Mathew
i hope you will really enjoy it and put it to lots of good uses.. ;)

lol Doc.. i get the same thing.. >:( :D
Maybe we just need bigger avatars. ;)
lol.. just maybe Doc.. ;)
now im wondering what Mr. Charles is up to next for the blog.. :P
Hi,
I seem to have one slight problem.
When trying to submit an article in my blog to Facebook it says:
Quote
The page you requested was not found
You may have clicked an expired link or mistyped the address. Some web addresses are case sensitive.
Not sure if this is due to facebook links proably being changed as it still beta or soemthing.
anyone know what to do so i can fix it please ???
also my friend created a blog, it shows on the main blogs page but when i try to view her blog it says no articles to display even thou on the main bogs page it says she created an article. Now reason for this is the setting: HOW MANY ARTICLES TO BE SHOWN ON PAGE is auto set to '0' for unlimited, problem is a user has to change this as if they dont change it it says no articles to display, i think this is a bug, as if 0 is for unlimited then it still should show article but it doesn't unless you change it to a number like 1, 5 or whatever.
So basically if you dont change it from 0 to to something else it will count the article as in arictles created but not show it on there blogs.
Thank you,
Mathew
@genieuk... About the facebook thing... Simple fix for that. Find sharer.php; in Blog.php. Replace with sharer.php?
As for the other issue, I am not sure what is causing that. I've changed so much from 2.0.2 Beta to 2.0.3 Beta it'd take me a bit to find the problem. I'll post a solution here for you when I find one.
@SmokeyBlue... I'm restructuring the entire mod from top to bottom. It's going to be nearly stand-alone. There will be almost no edits made to SMF's source or template files once I've redone it. The problem is... I will have to create almost all the current functionality SMF provides with my own functions for BC (posting, editing, locking, moving, sending, printing, etc etc etc). Also I made my own permissions system. It will make a lot more sense for BC than SMF's permissions system. And it will only require one database query for all the permissions (unlike SMF).
now that is going to be sweet Charles.. that means separate themes etc., right?? ;)
hmm.. my illustrator is going to get a good workout i hope!! O:)
Mmmm... With this lot of new requests the release 2.0.3 have a long time to wait, i think...
And i need this mod. The 2.0.2 have any really big problems at this time? It's simple to upgrade to 2.0.3 if i want to use that now?

Good question!
this is what i wanted to know. I was dying to install so went ahead and installed it but worried that i will have to uninstall old version and loose the created blogs etc.
If you could provide details on how we would install new blog when it comes out, i mean will we have to uninstall our current version then install new version or upgrade and will all content created be lost?
Thanks
Mathew
I have been writing a function to import all the information from the SMF tables related to the blog community. So when you uninstall the old version and install the new version, you won't lose anything. But there are a few issues with 2.0.2 Beta. Nothing major. I will add the two fixes for the problems genieuk had to the bugtracker on my site (http://degreesofzero.com/index.php?bt)
I have these 2 errors:
8: Undefined index: cannot_write_blog

Line: 337
8: Undefined index: page_title

For the second error this is line 789:

Hi Charles
If someone have installed the Tagging System mod of vbgamer and want of the tagging system tags dont appear in the new article of the blog mod you have to:
Search:
//Tagging system Mod
if(!isset($context['num_replies']))
Replace:
//Tagging system Mod
if(!($context['blogBoard'] == $context['current_board']) && (!isset($context['num_replies'])))
Maybe charles you can add this to the v2.0.3 release using an error="ignore" ;)
Won't be a problem because i am building my own posting page and post functions. Blog Community will be completely separate from your SMF forum... except it'll use the member groups and members tables.. of course.

But if you create your own posting page , we can lose the bbcodes , right
Well so that post is only a reference :p
No you won't lose bbc. I am still going to use SMF's parse_bbc function. I'm also going to figure out how to use all of the same bbc buttons that are on your SMF posting pages also.

Awesome charles ;)
The v2.0 Final can be released before christmas??
lol.... probably before my birthday. Pretty much all that's left to do is the post pages and a bunch of sub functions for articles, comments, polls, and drafts. Then testing, of course.
My b-day is Nov 7th btw... :)

Also fix some bugs on the v2.0.2 but I am expecting the new mod ^^
hey Charles... what are the possibilities that, with the "competely seperate system", you can get this released for smf 2.0?
It'd be A LOT easier to make it compatible with SMF 2 actually. Since it only uses info from the member groups and members tables. I haven't messed with the Who page in detail yet... but I might have to use the activity log table from smf as well. We'll see.
What a very great mod. I have only two problems:
is give me a error;
8: Undefined index: rss_feed
Bestand: /home/httpd/vhosts/site.com/httpdocs/Themes/default/languages/Blog.dutch.php (manageBlogs sub template - eval?)
Regel: 1714
and:
I have market Hide portal blocks on all blog pages but i see all te TP tools on my blog. How can i hide this? I have te latest TP version.
Who can help me to fix it?
@mikemikemike
Fix for first error:
http://degreesofzero.com/index.php?bt;bug=4
Version 1.06 of TP came out after version 2.0.2 Beta... so it doesn't work right with the latest TP version.
Thanx, I have make a mistake i have the latest smf
and i have tp version 0.983.
Hide portal blocks on all blog pages don't work with my tp version
I am getting the distinct impression that TP is not very compatible with anything.... I will do my best to make BC work with the latest version of TP, but beyond that I cannot guarantee anything.
i can help check things out too, if i get some time.. ok Charles?? :)

@ Lotti... that's not a critical error. Those are just missing variables that don't do anything very important.

Once I am done with this next version for SMF 1.1.x it'll be a lot easier to make a SMF 2.0 version.
@SmokeyBlue... I haven't even tested the massive changes I've made recently yet. Getting very close though.
ok Charles, just let me know ;)
im still sick so.. but will be around :)
Great mod! I definitely like what I'm seeing (at least, the stuff that works :)
When accessing the blog via a member's profile, I get the following notices:
Above the main menu:

I'm running dilbermc theme, so I tried following the install.xml to see the necessary edits to dilbermc's index.template.php. I got most of it working, but am I missing something?
Bump?
Undefined index errors are just missing variables. They are not critical errors, unless they are supposed to be displaying something important.
From when i use this mod the SMF use more CPU on the server.
The errors it's not stupid if generate 844 pages of error logs...
im not getting those errors on mine, perhaps if you dig thru this thread you will fi8nd the answers to the issues you are having.. ;)
I have solved for cannot_write_blog (an error when an user cannot have a blog, for fix simply add the errors message on errors.language.php).
$txt['error_guest_no_link'] = 'Sorry, guests are not allowed to post links. If this link is of any importance for your posting, please register first.';
$txt['cannot_write_blog'] = 'Sorry, but you are not allowed to blog.';
$txt['cannot_multiple_blogs'] = 'Sorry, but you are not allowed to have multiple blogs.';
$txt['cannot_pseudo_independent_blog'] = 'Sorry, but you are not allowed to use the pseudo-independent blog setting.';
$txt['cannot_blog_restrict_access'] = 'Sorry, but you are not allowed to restrict access to your blogs.';
$txt['cannot_blog_set_posting_restrictions'] = 'Sorry, but you are not allowed to set posting restrictions for your blogs.';
$txt['cannot_delete_own_blogs'] = 'Sorry, but you are not allowed to delete your own blogs.';
For page_title on blog.php, it's an error when it is active a multiple blog system and a user view the blogs index without any blogs. There are no <title> on the page.
I fix in this way this night
find
// the blog settings array is not applicable to the blog index
if (isset($context['blog']['settings']))
unset($context['blog']['settings']);
$context['blog']['meta']['description'] = $context['page_title'];
$context['sub_template'] = 'main';
and replace with
// the blog settings array is not applicable to the blog index
if (isset($context['blog']['settings']))
unset($context['blog']['settings']);
if (!empty($context['blog']['blogError'])){
$context['blog']['meta']['description'] = $context['page_title'];
$context['sub_template'] = 'main';
}
else
{
global $db_prefix, $context, $scripturl, $mbname, $user_info, $txt, $modSettings, $ID_MEMBER, $memberContext;
$context['page_title'] = $mbname . ' - ' . 'Blog Index';
}
}
// we want to view a single blog... not the blog list

Me to very excited about the next release. :D
it is coming! Charles is working very hard on this.. :)
Yes be patient
I want an stable and awesome version with a lot of new things and bug fixeds , Its better wait some time to have a nice version ;)
Keep Working Charles ;)
NIBOGO,
wait till you see what the next version will be like!! only thing i can say is, sweet!!! :D
It's very close to being complete. To give you an idea... I think the last version had 3 or 4 sources files? This one has over 16. I've backwards engineered a lot of the functionality that used to be provided by SMF. For example... the permissions system is now 100% completed. It will end a lot of the confusion that was occurring with the last versions. Presently there are about 50 or so permissions that you can assign. Making your own permissions is as easy as making your own global blog settings, preferences, etc.
You may check out the latest version at http://dev.degreesofzero.com/index.php?bc
This Mod conflicts with Profile comments. go to users blog is above "Summary-(NAME)"
2.0.3 won't.... because there won't be any heavy coding in the Profile page for this mod.
looking really good there Charles.. ;)
Yes i agree looks really good. I really do like the globe icon and page tool icon sort of image, i find with current version they display just anywhere, this is much cleaner, simpler and more orientated.
Looks really good, Well Done and thanks for making a great Blogging System.
Mathew
Alright thanks for that progress update. It's so close we all can taste it~ and damn it tastes so good...
any possible date to the final release of the final version of the mod???

No, but it's pretty close. I solved a lot of issues earlier today. Lemme see if I can come up with a list of things left:
Clean up display poll template
Fully test all aspects of polls (posting, voting, editing, etc)
Make send article function (uses e-mail system of your forum)
Fully implement marked read system (independent of SMF)
Create functions for Notifications (new comments to article / new articles in blogs)
Add blog avatar setting option for blogs (will involve adding to my processFormFields function to handle file uploads)
Fix posting restrictions page in blog control panel
Finish import SMF boards function (this one's about 1000 lines of code itself...)
Just amazing charles
I cant help in anything because I dont know about php and mysql :s , but I can help with the spanish translation ;)
Update for you....
X = done
X Clean up display poll template
X Fully test all aspects of polls (posting, voting, editing, etc)
Make send article function (uses e-mail system of your forum)
X Fully implement marked read system (independent of SMF)
X Create functions for Notifications (new comments to article / new articles in blogs)

Also... new some other things I need to do still:
Add "bbc cloud" above body text fields in posting forms
Finish Previewing for post forms

Hey Charli First of All Congrats For the 2.0.3 Beta which U have completed and will recently launched. You Blog Mod is Wonderful I loved it but i don't think it is compatible with latest SMF 1.1.7 ? Right Now i m using 1.1.6 and with that its compatible.
There is a serious problem in using the blog which i m facing .Only Admin Group is able to create blogs. I had given permission to all the groups but still its only the Admins who can make blogs . I m have selected Blog Community in Blog Control Panel still i m facing this problem . Can You Please Fix it.
Please Check it your self once at http://forums.parilok.org
Looking for Positive Results

you need to upgrade your site.. the one you are using now have serious security flaws..
the blog will work for 1.1.7
it must be set in the admin>blog control panel
under admin only options, you will see:
Blog Mode
that is where you set it for community.. ;) wish to see an example, head over to my site: PixelbyPaint.com (http://www.pixelbypaint.com/forum/index.php?action=blogs) :)
Thanks Smoky For Providing information about the working of blogs with 1.1.7. I had already enabled community mod ... i was making a silly mistake i just forgot to add maximum number of blogs for non-admins. Anyways its solved now .... thanks again
@ NIBOGO... That's an interesting idea. I have been doing some thinking about how this could be done in an awesome way... And I think I got it figured out. I will allow you to make "blocks" for the blog index page. The blog index itself (the actual list of blogs) will be its own kind of block. Also you'll be able to choose from a few standard blocks, and I think I'll add the ability to have some php-blocks (for admins only). Oh and you'll be able to order the blocks just like side windows.
lol Charles, that sounds like a plan!!
you welcome pariofdreamz.. ;)

Charles, I just uploaded your original version of the mod on the forum we use and I'm very happy with it.
Thank you so much for all your hard work!
I'm a little nervous to move to a new version but I'm trusting you will give details of upgrades for those of us who are new to the ways of version upgrades. ;D That said I did manage to update from smf 1.1.6 to 1.1.7 without the whole thing falling to pieces.
Can you tell me though if the blog posts will transfer over easy from the one version to the other? I suppose that's my main concern.
And did I see you mention that the newest version will work on smf version 1.1.7
Sorry if I'm double questioning but those questions I didn't find answers to clearly.
Thanks, again Charles :)
It'll work with all 1.1.x versions. Since there are very few edits made to SMF's source or template files, compatibility should not be a problem. There will not be a version for SMF 2.0+ until there is a stable version of Blog Community. Also, still rather concerned that they might change some big things in SMF 2.0 anyways.
Yes, your blog related data from previous versions of this mod will transfer over to the new version. I am unsure of a release date. When I have it all put together and am satisfied with it, I will release it :)
Thanks for the reply Charles. I'm excited about the new release.
Good to know about the compatibility and post change over. That's a relief. ;D
I have this installed at BigMarketingForum.com and a member notified me that the share links do not work. When you click one of them like dig it or something it lists the link as:
/Forum/http://www.stumbleupon.com/submit?url=http://www.BigMarketingForum.com/Forum/index.php?article=1728&title=Daily+Update+For+11/18/08
Is this something that can be fixed? If so could you tell me where to do it at?
Thanks in advance for any advice.

Installed in smf 1.1.7 with TP and custom theme, and it works perfectly... fantastic!
http://historyhuntersinternational.org/index.php?action=blogs
Now I am working to integrate the blogs with other online communities, starting with blogcatalog.com as a channel.
That is, I do not want to rely on my existing community for all activity, but to extend ours into others and others into ours. I guess this is the point of Blog Community.
Many thanks! I will try and learn more on how to do this.
@ gotcan... Could you paste the code from Sources/Blog.php that creates the share links? I believe if you search for sharer.php you should find the area in that file that I am talking about.
@ HistoryHunter... BlogCatalog and MyBlogLog are somewhat integrated into Blog Community. I have personally found those sites to not be very helpful, and that's why I haven't developed that very much. What I would like to develop eventually is possibly linking all the different sites that use this Blog Community software. As I get better with programming and play around with options, I will develop the ideas a bit more.
Hi,
Here is the part of the code I believe you need:
'bookmarking_links' => array(),
'options' => array(),
'new_from' => $row['new_from'],
);

if (!empty($context['blog']['settings']['show_socialbookmarks_topics'])) {
$url_w_title = 'url='. $scripturl . '?article=' . $row['ID_TOPIC'] .'&title='. $row['subject'];
// make the bookmarking_links
$context['blog']['articles'][$row['ID_TOPIC']]['bookmarking_links'] = array(

Charles - are you familiar at all with the the multicolor theme. I think the syntax difference between the update for index.template.php and the file itself are causing errors with my manual install.

Hi,
Thanks for helping me out on this. I changed the code like you told me to (I think) and got this
error:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ';' in /home/adsncash/public_html/bigmarketingforum/Forum/Sources/Blog.php on line 1613
Like 1613 is this:
$subject = urlencode(strip_tags($row['subject']));
Any ideas? I tried to take out the ; in the code and just got an error on line 1614
Attach your Blog.php plz. I will take a look.
Hi,
Attached is the current one I am using without the changes that is giving me the problem.
Thanks,
Jason
Here ya go.
Hi,
Now there is no share links at all :( but the blog does seem to work right other than that.
See here:
http://www.bigmarketingforum.com/Forum/index.php?blog=23.0
Are you running version 2.0.1 or 2.0.2?
edit-
Ok I see..... you're running 2.0.1...
above the if (!empty($context['blog']['settings']['socialbookmarks_multicheck']))
put the following:
$context['blog']['settings']['socialbookmarks_multicheck'] = array('digg', 'stumbleupon');
and u can add the other bookmarking sites to that array to include them.
Hi,
Doing that gave me this error:
You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '1754,1728,508,310)
LIMIT 6' at line 3
File: /home/adsncash/public_html/bigmarketingforum/Forum/Sources/Blog.php
Line: 784
Note: It appears that your database may require an upgrade. Your forum's files are currently at version SMF 1.1.7, while your database is at version 1.1.6. The above error might possibly go away if you execute the latest version of upgrade.php.
Don't know what to tell you... I just looked at the code around those lines, and it looks like it should work.
Ok, following your fixes, I have most of the blog errors fixed, except for these 2.
8: Undefined variable: percent_per_pixel_increase
File: /xxx/xxx/xxx/ga.ga-squad.com/Sources/Blog.php
Line: 4555
For this one, I tried adding $percent_per_pixel_increase to the globals, but it didn't work.
and
2: Division by zero
File: /xxx/xxx/xxx/ga.ga-squad.com/Sources/Blog.php
Line: 4555
Any help appreciated.
@stfox100
replace the tagFontSize function in your Sources/Blog.php with the following:
function tagFontSize($numArticles, $total_instances)
{
$maxfontsize = 24;
$basefontsize = 11;
if (empty($total_instances) || empty($numArticles))
return $basefontsize;
// percent_per_pixel_increase is the number of % points that are needed to increase the pixel-size of text by 1
$percent_per_pixel_increase = ($total_instances > 5) && (($total_instances - 3) > 1) ? 50 / ($total_instances - 2) : 200;
// add to the basefontsize...
$return = $basefontsize + floor((100 * $numArticles) / ($total_instances * $percent_per_pixel_increase));
// can't be more than maxfontsize
if ($return > $maxfontsize)
$return = $maxfontsize;
return $return;
}
Charles Hill , i want to learn something...
Can we make SMF's page navigation appearance like in your blog mod ? (https://www.simplemachines.org/community/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimg141.imageshack.us%2Fimg141%2F5378%2F11617914nd0.jpg&hash=75ba6d6263b71eb6b76ef4a49dad6ba4d4807e4e)
I searched it everywhere but couldn't find anything...
I actually changed it from that to something even cooler ;D To change how the page index appears, you have to edit the constructPageIndex function your Sources/Subs.php and add some css to your style sheet.
Find:
$pageindex .= '<span>' . ($start / $num_per_page + 1) . '</span> ';
My version of this line looks like the following:
$pageindex .= '<span class="bcPageIndexCurrent">' . ($start / $num_per_page + 1) . '</span> ';
Also, find:
return $pageindex;
My version of this line is the following:
return '<span class="blogPageIndex">' . $pageindex . '</span>';
Then in the css stylesheet...
.blogPageIndex a
{
color:#737373;
width:19px;
height:25px;
font-weight:normal;
background:url(bc_images/icons/page_icon.png) no-repeat;
padding:7px;
text-align:center;
vertical-align:middle;
}
.blogPageIndex a:hover
{
color:#737373;
background:url(bc_images/icons/page_icon_hover.png) no-repeat;
}
span.bcPageIndexCurrent
{
color:#737373;
width:19px;
height:25px;
font-weight:normal;
padding:7px;
text-align:center;
vertical-align:middle;
background:url(bc_images/icons/page_icon_active.png) no-repeat;
}
You can see working example of how mine looks at http://dev.degreesofzero.com/index.php
That seems to work Charles, thanks,
Bluto
Charles Hill, you made my day , thank alot....
But perhaps still we miss something in subs.php...
Because it works in topics properly but in section message index it's a bit buggy...
Can you fix this :(
http://forum.hardwarena.com/index.php?board=26.0
CSS can be tricky, just keep playing around with it until you get what you want.
Oke, i think i found it... In topic there is no class css behind page navigation , but in message index there is...
Anyway thanks a billion times Charles...
can we embed flash in the post?
like
<object width="320" height="277"><param name="movie" value="http://www.tv9.com.my/App_Themes/tv9/swf/FlvPlayer_320x277.swf"></param><param name="FlashVars" value="flv=http://medprima.vo.llnwd.net/o18/u/tv9/sec/halaqah/halaqah_2008_041_rec.flv &title=Halaqah: Episod 41"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.tv9.com.my/App_Themes/tv9/swf/FlvPlayer_320x277.swf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="320" height="277" flashvars="flv=http://medprima.vo.llnwd.net/o18/u/tv9/sec/halaqah/halaqah_2008_041_rec.flv &title=Halaqah: Episod 41"></embed></object>
Hi charles, I really like this mod, I'm having some DB issues..I went to degreesofzero and did the manual changes to the blog.php
But now guests and members are getting this error:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_ELSEIF in /home/******/public_html/Sources/Blog.php on line 795
ETA: I reloaded that file..and I still get the db error...but if I make the changes I get parser errors.
Okay got that fixed with help from another person.
@qubbah... 2.0.2 Beta uses SMF's parse_bbc. 2.0.3 Beta will also be using the parse_bbc function. So if you are able to embed flash in your forum posts you should be able to do the same with BC posts.

how about 1.1.7? can we make it can parse_bbc?
Some of the buttons are still from the core theme and are showing up on my custom template.
Edited:whoops! :-[
@qubbah... 1.1.7 is the SMF version... 2.0.2 and 2.0.3 Beta are versions of Blog Community.
I like, it works well, and I'm hoping it gets some popularity.
There is one little issue that I can't find the spot to fix, I think I found the right file, and the right general area, but I can't figure out the exact spot:

This is just a test.

Notice what is bolded. The Name and the word On are in one string :P.... A simple mistype, but how do I fix it? :P
Indeed that is odd... I have a feeling that is a template issue. Check your Blog.template.php file around where the comments are displayed. It's in the function that displays articles.
Thanks :P. I was in the completely wrong area. It was:
<td align="left" valign="middle">'. $txt['b40'] .' ' . $comment['poster']['link'] . ' <span class="commentSpecial">' . $txt[30] . ' ' . $comment['time'] .'</span></td>
Incase anyone else runs into that issue XD.
It's been about a week since we last spoke Charles. How are you managing, and how has the 2.0.3 been going?
I am going to switch web hosts.... IX Web hosting is very bad...........................
Charles, i have run into something odd..
i have on mine, 2 blogs, but now they are appearing double.. >:(
http://www.pixelbypaint.com/forum/index.php?action=blogs
guess its somewhere, code doubled up.. will be sorting it tho.. :)
edit:
could it be in the db?? i have double checked my coding, and it does this on the default too..
serves me right for tossing the site around on its ears.. poor thing.. :P
edit #2:
not sure how i fixed it, but it is.. :o
hey,
firstly, damn right great mod, when i like something i like to curse, so i will stay quite ;D
anyway, the great mod got me all excited, but when i installed the mod, firstly using the package manager, then manually, the whole forum went blank, when i go to the homepage all i got was a blank white page, with nothing in it, nothing. so i got my forum back to what it was using a backup that i took before installing.
So now my question obviously is: how do i fix this problem? what the problem? when i ran the add_settings.php files, it said that the blog community was setup successfully, but when i tried to go to my index.php, i got a blank page, no bit of the whole forum worked at all.
here are some more information that may allow you to find the problem:
- i run smf 1.1.6
- i run the following mods:
-ad management
-AJAX chat
-profile comment
-smf arcade
Thnx for whatever help you can give me.
That means there was a syntax error in a sources file. Since it occurred on every page like you said. It's probably in either your forum's main index.php or the Sources/Subs.php.
My recommendation is to hold off for 2.0.3 Beta. You can see it in action on my main site (http://degreesofzero.com). It should not be much longer for its release.
ok, thnx for ur help,
time to go and teach the Syntax Error a lesson 8)

Charles - it's looking awesome so far, can't wait for the next update! I REALLY like the new blog control panel, which includes the link to post a new article to your blog, the mybloglog/blog catalog links, and all of the other features. I think this is probably the best put together mod out there so far, and your hard work shows (even with the few kinks that it currently has). I can't wait until a more stable version comes out so I can get it up and running on my live site.
Hmmm... where ARE these? Or is that a later mod... ? In which case, my question is, where are the codelines?
Also, not seeing that I, too, wanted to add my blogs to blog catalog and have been looking for a way to do this. I wrote to them and explained the situation, hoping they, on their end, may be able to give me the proper widget.
Instead, here is what they said:
QuoteHi Marige,
I would suggest that users place the linkback or button at the bottom of their most recent post during the review process. Once approved they are free to remove the link back. If you have any other questions just let me know.
Daniel / BlogCatalog.com
Now... if only I could EDIT my blogs. :( I've mentioned this before, but never found a solution. Any idea why that icon won't show up? Some say it does in Firefox... great. I don't want to work in Firefox. (I already do specific work in that browser and I'd rather not mix the two.)
If that's so, wouldn't it be a matter of my IE7 security set-up? Which toggles would do something like that?
All help is appreciated.
Marige
Internet Explorer is a nightmare.... All other browsers (google chrome, firefox, safari, opera) seem to interpret things fairly similarly. IE is the one that just doesn't want to do things properly. I am trying my best to make BC as compatible as possible, but it's difficult.
Hello Charles, Thanks for this wonderful mod...This is the most powerful mod i have seen here on SMF..i rated it higher then that admod. I can just do about everything wordpress does...congrats.
meanwhile i installed it manually and its working...The problem
that i want to know if adsense ads shows up on the blog pages since i see something like plug-in- on the admin cpanel
I am nearing a release-ready version of 2.0.3 Beta. It will have fully functional themes and plug-ins system. And yes one of the plug-in I am planning will allow for easy use of Google Adsense and advanced ad management (with future support for other ad networks).
You should check out http://degreesofzero.com for updates and the latest news :D

That would be great. I cant wait to see the upgrade.
what exactly can the plug-ins on this version do? Is there anything i can install on the mod from there?
@ mikemikemike... I'll be testing it with tiny portal installed on blank SMF... So there should be no compatibility issues with that. I don't have a release date, but it is very close.
@sam_milla ... The plug-ins system will be quite easy. There will be a bunch of plug-in "slots" which will be positioned in key places to allow for maximum extensibility of the software. You install a plug-in by putting the plug-in's .php file in the Plugins directory in the BlogCommunity directory (forum/BlogCommunity/Plugins). Files are automatically detected and read. Each plugin will have its own functions to fire in different plug-in slots (depending upon what functionality is adding). Each plug-in will have its own settings that you can manage via the plug-ins tab in the blog control panel.
Thanks....What i really wanna know is if there are already places where i can download the plugin from / or can any plug in just fit there?.
not just any Sam..
i know that Charles is working on some, and i have an idea for another one, just gota be patient lol.. ;)
Ok, thats good...i thought there are some of them already there.
meanwhile i got this error from my forum error log...
''http://afrowall.com/index.php?action=blogs
8: Undefined index: sideWindows
File: /home/afrowall/public_html/Themes/default/Blog.template.php (main sub template - eval?)
Line: 614''
What do you think is causing it? ''
There are a few bugs with 2.0.2 Beta. That's one of them. I have to head out right now, but you should be able to find the fix for that one somewhere in this top. Try searching just this topic for Undefined index: sideWindows
Thanks for your fast responses...You are a great guy
Charles maybe you can modify the code of the mod to hide the blocks and the panels of the portal mods , is change the actual "index.php?blog=90.0" to something like "index.php?action=blogs;viewblog=90.0" with this you can hide all the panels for the blogs action , I dont know if this is really hard but is the best method to fix that issue.
I test the 2.0.3 and works great but I cant hide the Details window from the blogs
maybe I missed it, but I didn't hear the screen reader read what I'm looking for.
I'm trying to install the easy edit meta data mod, I already have the Blog community mod installed. The install fails on themes/default/index.template.php.
I take out the blog, easy edit goes in fine and vice versa.
So, obviously, they both edit the same section.
Has anyone else had this problem? What can I do to fix it so they both work at the same time??
Thanks in advance,
Flip
Yes, Blog Community edits the meta tags in your index.template.php file. I have never used the easy edit meta tags mod, so I don't know the details, but you will have to somehow combine the code from both mods if you wish to have both co-exist. The code for the blog community around the meta tags mostly applies to when viewing blog community pages, so when the variables related to the blog community are empty in the meta tags, you could opt to use the variables from easy edit meta tags mod instead.

Charles,
thanks for the reply. I have been using the blog mod on a test site and really like it. I have also used the easy edit meta data in the past and like that mod too.
However, I am blind and coding-ignorant (a.k.a. stupid - hehe). If I were to post the code that easy edit wants to put there, is there any way you could look at it and suggest how to combine them? I am not a coder of any sort by any stretch of anybody's imagination. I know how to upload, activate and install mods - and my wife thought she'd break the sledge hammer getting me to learn that much! :D
So, if you could do that, I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks again,
Flip
Sure. Post them and I'll do it when I get a chance.
Thank you very much. I tried to twist my head around this one to see all the angles, but got dizzy. :) almost as if someone was speaking martian to me.
The code that is supposed to go into the index.template.php is:
./Themes/default/index.template.php
Find: [Select]
<meta name="description" content="', $context['page_title'], '" />
Replace With: [Select]
';
echo (!empty($modSettings['meta_description'])) ? ' <meta name="description" content="'. $modSettings['meta_description'] .'" />' : '<meta name="description" content="'. $context['page_title'] .'" />
Find: [Select]
, '
<meta name="keywords" content="PHP, MySQL, bulletin, board, free, open, source, smf, simple, machines, forum" />
Replace With: [Select]
;
echo (!empty($modSettings['meta_keywords'])) ? '
<meta name="keywords" content="'. $modSettings['meta_keywords'] .'" />' : '';
echo (!empty($modSettings['meta_copyright'])) ? '
<meta name="copyright" content="'. $modSettings['meta_copyright'] .'" />' : '';
echo (!empty($modSettings['meta_author'])) ? '
<meta name="author" content="'. $modSettings['meta_author'] .'" />' : '';
echo '
It's supposed to put a section into the admin to put your meta data which is a big plus for a blind user.
The link to the mod is http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?mod=1211 (http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?mod=1211) in case there is something else you need to know.
Btw - we are running SMF 117 and 2.0.2 of Blog Community.
Again, thanks for your help,
Flip
p.s. I've only been working on the site for about 18 months. Every time I get something done that seems to be decent or that I like on there, I either mess it up or change my mind. :D
I tried installing this mod but when I did it said the file was corrupt. Is there something I did wrong?
Of the three blogs running on my site, the ownership of two has changed from the member, to Admin. I checked the sql database and according to that, this hasn't happened - they each have the original owners...
smf 1.1.7, tp, Blog Community 2.0.2 Beta
Later: ok, in database I found blogs as boards and changed ownership back.
Ya that's a bug. I don't know exactly where in the code of BC 2.0.2 Beta that is occurring, so I do not have a solution for you. I am nearing completion of zCommunity 0.7.0 Alpha.... and this won't be a problem anymore. Ya I renamed the project to zCommunity ;)
@ DEK24... were you trying to install on the wrong version of SMF?

Indeed I later saw that. I'm running 1.1.4. I looked into upgrading to 1.1.5 but I get this message when trying to do so..
26. Execute Modification ./Themes/default/index.template.php Test failed
So I was afraid to continue but I really want to add the blog community especially since one of my competing websites is planning on adding one to theirs so I would like to beat them to the punch.
You should hold off for zCommunity. It is waaaaaay better than BC 2.0.2 Beta
will it be compatible with 1.1.4?
I'll make the package let you try to install it on earlier 1.1.x versions, but there's no guarantee it'll work properly. I do urge you to upgrade your SMF... there are a number of security vulnerabilities with previous 1.1.x versions.

im using 1.7 and blog_community_2_02_smf11x.zip
well I upgraded my SMF to get blog community and its really cool however the zcommunity looks a lot cooler.
I saw something about using google adsense in with the new version can it be used in the old one?
Also how about pictures and adding them to posts?
Mr. Hill,
Hope this is a easy question. When the new version "Z-Blog" is released will it have a built-in upgrade pack?
Other question is any idea on a release date on the new version?
Please tell me I'm not full of stuff that stinks and I did see that you will be putting out the above mentioned new blog pack.
Thanks Lots,
Flip - KE4OBT
@ DEK24... I am planning to create a plug-in for zCommunity for Ad Management and eventually another for Ad Revenue Sharing. Those will not be available with zCommunity by default. I have not added the ability to easily add images to posts (as in upload an image to the server while posting an article). You can still use the img bbc tag just like your forum, though.
@ ke4obt... What do you mean by upgrade pack? If you mean, "Will there be an upgrade package available for 2.0.2 Beta to the new version?"... then no. There is a more advanced importing function that will allow you to import your old BC blogs to the new zCommunity tables, though. I will be packaging up the new zCommunity soon. Still some testing left to do.
Thanks for the info on Z-Blog, can't wait for the big day.
Is there an expected release date of the Z-Community?

You may need this mod: http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?mod=1187 (http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?mod=1187)
This is a quote from the download page: Description: This package purpose is to provide a work around for the length code bug in mysql.
To get around this issue this mod requires permission to alter tables. It needs these permissions so it can perform addition of a temp column to sort by before dropping it. Most users should have this permission if the mysql user they installed SMF with has not had its rights changed.
This fix is for SMF 1.x only. SMF 2.0 already incorporates a similar fix to this to provide a work around. SMF 1.0 is not supported but you are welcome to try it if you still need to use SMF 1.0.

The mod install went cleanly, but it didn't fix the blog conversion problem.
Did you try unconverting and then reconverting the blog again, or will it not convert at all?

Yes. I even tried it out on another thread. I noticed that the process slows considerably if the thread has over 30 replies.
I'm sorry that I was of no help to you. This sounds like something that a database expert will need to address (which I definitely am not). I hope that you're able to get it resolved soon.
I'm confused as to what problem you're encountering... Where is this error occurring? What error message(s) are you getting?

I still don't know what you mean... the convert board to blog feature doesn't work or you cannot access the newly converted blog when navigating to its page?

A member of my board has been using a topic as his blog for the longest in my forum.
With the advent of your mod I decided to convert his 13 page thread in to a blog.
This is what I did:
I made a board
Copied his topic to the board
Went in to the blog control panel and converted the board to a blog
I received no errors while converting the board to the blog
After the conversion, I clicked on the newly formed blog, and it slowed my board down.
I was never able to access the new blog and my database gets stuck on that on process I posted above. I have to go in to phpMyAdmin to kill the process.
I had to convert the new blog back to a board.
Indeed that is an odd problem. Can't think of any solutions for you right now... Good news though, zCommunity is pretty much packaged up and ready to go. I've just been putting the finishing touches on it by adding plug-in slots where necessary. There are a grand total of 7 edits made to SMF's files. Of course I'll have to compensate for other mods like TinyPortal and Simple Portal with a few more edits, but it won't be much.
After the slots are in place I just have to finalize the db editing portion of the package, then test it.
You mean the avatars? The avatars that are displayed by blogs are the blog owner's avatar (their smf profile avatar). Once I get the hang of uploading files / images and such those options will be added. For now I just want to get this thing out. It's been too long.
I noticed this error while playing with it on my test site.
It seems to have issues with another mod 'media gallery'.
Fatal error: Cannot redeclare deleteitems() (previously declared in /xxx/Sources/Subs-MGallery.php:1208) in /xxx/Sources/Blog.php on line 3556
The gallery doesn't seem to have an issue with the blog. I know you are reworking this, but though maybe you should know about this possible conflict with another mod.
Thanks, omniverse.. I did notice that while looking at someone's site that had the smf media gallery mod installed. I have changed function names as to reduce the odds of conflicts with other mods you might have installed.
lol cant wait till the newer version is out Charles, im sure its going to be a good one.. ;)
Hi! New here - at SmokyBlue's recommendation, I've downloaded this mod to a test site. I need help with a couple of things (and would have asked at Degrees of Zero, but I can't get an activation email from that site to be able to log in).
1. I want to import all of my prior posts and comments from a WordPress blog to the SMF Blog Community blog. Is this doable (and how?)
2. I want to bring over all my users. Again - doable?
3. I'm not sure how to customize my blog's appearance in my portal - I'm not sure I want it to be right front and center as it currently is. I'm working with TinyPortal. Suggestions?
4. I DO have a custom theme - where do I find the install.xml file that's recommended to update a custom theme?
That's it for starters.

#1, not sure if Charles has had time for a converter for wp yet or not..
#2, this is a mod for smf, just like tp, and it will rely on permissions, just like tp, that you can set for who you want to blog, or not.. guest viewing included, and!!
you can set (per member) who posts in personal blog as comment too.. options are unlimted for that..
#3, this is something to play with as it will use your theme, for the time being.. i know later down the dev road, it will be different..
i suggest a test site area and for you to try it out and play with it.. lol you will have fun and enjoy it.. i do promise this.. :P
#4, the xml file is in the mod package, just take the entire package and open on your desktop and look thru it.. i know Charles is working hard on the next version with even more features and options..
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
if you have any issues with it, feel free to post, as there are a few of us that really do enjoy his mod..
laterzz ;)
Thanks Smoky. Of course, when I said "all my users" I wasn't specific enough - I meant my WP users. There aren't a lot of them, and I could probably manually create them in SMF, so that's no biggie. OTOH not being able to pull in my WP posts is quite a bit more of a concern. I have a lot of posts, some with comments, and I don't want to lose them.
QT
i do know where you are going with that..
with wordpress, you can make it read only and then deny any extra member signups..
next, add a button somewhere on your site for archive reading..
if or until Charles can get a converter going for it.. best suggestion i can come up with for now.. ;)
just remember to keep up on the mods on wordpress that might need upgrading and you should be fine..
Ok - that could work temporarily - an archive button. Of course - I have no idea how to create any kind of button (you might recall from tp forum that one of my problems is editing the forum button on my theme.. .:()
Another question - I don't see anyway to have the portal recognize the blog. Is this a tp question, or have you figured this out? I don't see a way to create a block for the forum or anything.

OK - actually - there is no "install.xml" file in the mod so far as I can tell. There is a "theme.xml" file - is that what's meant? And - it's all code. What am I supposed to be looking for....???
QT
hmm ok if you could.. throw a link up to your site,
also if you need help with a button, then post up your custom theme "members" button and we can get you going..
perhaps asking about a iframe or something might help too.. :)
yes that is the file you need.. now to read it..
try my tut here, and if you have any questions, you cna always post up..
http://pixelbypaint.com/forum/index.php?topic=2430.0 :)
OK.. here's me panicking...
Couple of links: I'm playing in my test site: http://testsite.windonwater.net. The blog is installed there.
My actual site is http://www.windonwater.net - going there will show my custom theme, including the "Home" and "Forum" buttons that both land in the same place (Home). The top links there under "The Obama Project" click out to my WordPress blog - because I have them rss'ed.
I read the tutorial, and will try to read the theme.xml file. Not sure how that's gonna go, cuz... I'm really not tech savvy at all.
QT
you will be fine QT.. if you need help, just post.. ;)
will still need the code for the button, but i think you will be able to figure it out, if not, post that up too :P
:( Sorry to be so dense, but I don't know where to find the code for the button. I feel certain I could have fixed this if I could have found out where button codes were, but... so far, no clue. If you have a hint or two, I'll go look again...
QT
since this is for wordpress and your site, im not sure if we should be posting like this on Charles' blog thread :P
but here is a push in the right direction..
go grab a copy of notepad++, free download, just google..
the defaults buttons can be found on line 514 starting with " // Show the start of the tab section."
now im not sure how your cutom theme is for your site, but you will have to play with it.. if you really need help.. pop in on my site and i can see what needs to be done.. best i can do.. ;)
OK - posted to your site instead of here. :)
Thanks.
QT
no biggie Qt.. you are in good hands.. ;)

Thanks, omniverse.. I did notice that while looking at someone's site that had the smf media gallery mod installed. I have changed function names as to reduce the odds of conflicts with other mods you might have installed.
For those that may have this issue, and cause I like to be helpful when I can. :)
In sources/blog.php I just changed the 6 'deleteitems' references and replaced with 'deleteblogitems' instead. Seems to have done the trick on my test site.
Hi Charles,
I'm having a very weird issue. Everything was okay so far, I had managed to install the blog button in Runnic's black to the future theme. But now I've installed the copyright mod, as well as stat counter, the button vanished. :( It still shows in the default theme though. I have no idea what happened. I don't see how adding some code could lead to this. ??? I had lots of trouble to add all those mods (mainly due to the copyright code) and had just managed to install everything in the right way.
Link to main index: http://finckaholic.com/forum/index.php
Link to blog: http://finckaholic.com/forum/index.php?action=blogs
Any idea? I really don't want to reinstall everything, :P
Not Charles, but you might want to double check your index.template.php to see if the code for the button is still there. Specifically which other mods did you install, though, when problem was created? Have you tried to uninstall the copyright mod to see if it's a conflict?
Worst case scenario - just have to add the button/link again.
Also, to note, the first post shows that zCommunity is available now, and it's on the modsite.
http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?mod=1209 (http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?mod=1209)
There are quite a few new features, so by all means, maybe give this a shot.
:)
Charles,
This is most excellent work.
Now I am going to BEG you to create a version for SMF 2.0 :)

I haven't tried anything. I decided to take the day off. ;D I had actually spent over 6 hours on those codes, plus other modifications, and I really didn't want to start over.
I don't think there's a conflict between the copyright mod and Charles's blog. Another webmaster I know uses both mods without any problem. It must be that he's better @ editing files than me. ;D
And yeah, I've seen the updated version. I guess it would be better to use it. :)
Edit/ The button disappeared after I installed the stat counter.
Jesus...
I have a greek utf8 forum...
I manually added the necessary codes to my custom themes index template...
I installed this mod and ther was no forum anymore...
(template errors, sql errors, page not load, etc...)
I copied all the language phps in greek in the Languages folder of the zCommunity folder and then my forum came back...
Only on the surface because except from the board index and the first page of every topic, nothing else could be loaded...
Not to mention that the action=zc never worked (keeps loading board index instead)...
I use Tiny Portal on my site.
Never been so horrified before with a mod...
^Did you check on Degrees of Zero?
http://degreesofzero.com/index.php?action=forum
I remember I saw something about TP over there. :)
Anyone using this mod with TP9.8 and SMF 1.1.7??
can we use this community mod with TinyPortal?
yes..
tp demo of the blog mod: http://www.dangerousmindz.com/forum/index.php?action=blogs
note: since the new version came out my client needs to have his blog community updated, but yes this works with tp.. i imagine if i got really fancy with the coding there is all sorts of ways to show off the blog.. but!! it works with tp.. ;)
@Gidget Claire: Where did you get the stat counter from? I'll be happy to try to make everything work (also, theme is where..?).
@BlueDevil: I'm going to go ahead and test it on mine with a few portals (ie TinyPortal, SimplePortal, PortaMX). I'll let you know when I've got it up and running with those.
@dimdom: Remember that this is still an ALPHA release. It says so in the title. That being said, I don't think anyone else has tested it on a greek forum before. It could also be the portal. Let me mess with a few things, and I'll get back with you too.

http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?mod=1550
I got an account at StatCounter and made a custom code for my site there.
The theme is :
http://custom.simplemachines.org/themes/index.php?lemma=581
Oh wow thanx guys! Very cool. I'll look further into it.
zCommunity should work with TP.
@dimdom ... zCommunity doesn't use action=zc in the URL. To access the zCommunity page(s) you should just add zc to the base URL of your forum with nothing else after it ( ....../index.php?zc ). Did you have a previous version of Blog Community installed? If so, are you sure you fully uninstalled it?
- - - - - -
Note for installation of this mod:
To avoid problems on installation, you might have to change permissions on your forum's folders/files to 0777. This is a unique server issue though, so you may or may not have to do this.
OK. Just to mention, the Alpha works with TinyPortal v.1.0.6 beta 2. Those of you that still have the .98 version should upgrade anyway. I'd download the .9.8, but...that'd be like trying this mod on SMF 1.0.5.
Demo of zCommunity with TP: http://www.alternateshadows.com/tp/index.php (http://www.alternateshadows.com/tp/index.php)
ALSO!
My host won't allow me to make my index 777 during install....what I did was delete the zComm folder in the main/base directory, and then move the zComm folder from the temp file. After I moved it, everything installs like a dream.
You should only have to do this if your server won't allow the main folder to be 777, though.
:).
...damn computer. Trying this again.

And that should do it for you. You probably don't have to add EVERYTHING, but just in case, it's all there.

Yeah, they look quite different.
I think it would be better to remove all the code I added and get ZC instead.
Thanks a lot, jkrlvgn :)

Yep, me too.
I use tp98 and 1.1.7
The same error popped up but it didnt install. I got scared and didnt go any further. LOL.
I cannot afford my database to crash now. I havent crashed my forum since 2006. Hahahaha!!
@Ken & @SteveW (EDIT: & @BlueDevil)
This is due to some servers not allowing the zCommunity folder to be copied over correctly. There are two options that you can do.
CHMOD your main SMF directory to: 777
OR
You can delete the zCommunity folder in the main directory (placed after the failed install), and then copy/move the zCommunity folder from the TEMP directory (/Packages/temp), into the main directory. Everything should work fine from there.
Seems that my server has taken ownership of my files, so I'll have to wait until my host can give ownership back over to me. :(
Ken: Rename the zCommunity folder to something else for now...even "DeleteMe". If you have SSH access, you can delete it from there.
I tried this on another host with something different, and it worked fine.
I think it would actually be easier for you all to manually install zCommunity to your forum rather than have to deal with the weird server issues that smf's package manager is creating. There are *very* few edits made to your SMF files, and all you have to do besides those edits is upload the zCommunity folder to your forum's main directory. Well and the db edits... but that's easy too. Upload the install_db_edits.php to your forum's main directory once you've uploaded the zCommunity folder, then access it directly on the server. And that should be it :)

Good tip jkrlvgn... I've used that approach sometimes as a workaround, but in this case only my host can cure the problem because the server won't let me set file permissions, install packages, delete files and folders... etc.
Hopefully he will take a look sometime today, but with the Christmas Holiday it may be a few days before it gets changed.
@Charles I'm going to try a manual edit, but that may not work correctly because of the ownership issue, when I tried to upload a copy of the 'zcommunity' folder it wouldn't go, so there may be other file/folder issues as well.
This problem came up a few days ago and he fixed it then, but it has come back, so my site may just be stuck until he take another look.
Hello Mr. Hill.
Just a quick question, will you be makeing a SMF 2.0 Version, as well as making it compatable with EZ-Portal i.e. a block that shows the blog name with the latest entries :
e.g.
HRA Users Blogs
flips place - 12/25/2008 - 4 New Entries
Dougs Big Blog 12/20/2008 - 1 New entry
Mickeys Corner 12/12/2008 - 3 New Entries
The block only needs to be an XML file that can be
up-loaded to EZ-Portal
"that's the nice thing about EZ-Portal". "max number to display should be setable in the code with a comments so the user can see where to set that to what ever they want. "
Hope all goes well with the extermanation of all the little bugs running around in your code (Buzz-Buzz).
Thanks Lots,
Flip - KE4OBT
Wow..... i uploaded it manually. Fine...but where is it? LOL

and where in admin?
So i ran the database edits theu my server browser and i get this:

Sweet! Thanx,you rock dude!
Now im going to play with it.
Ok....this may be a bug issue.
When trying to read threads in the forums with 2 or more pages,it wont let you. It takes you to page #1 everytime you want to read the last page.
Also at your site: http://degreesofzero.com/index.php/topic,12.0.html you cant read the 2nd page.
I removed the modified Index.php and problem solved. But cannot use the blog mod without the modified index.php
Bug maybe?
Any ideas? I'd post my index.php if you like.
Also.....when tinkerin' ;D i experienced these errors:
Database Error: Unknown column 'p.blog_id' in 'where clause'
File: /home/midwes15/public_html/zCommunity/Sources/Blog.php
Line: 1233
Database Error: Unknown column 'blog_id' in 'where clause'
File: /home/midwes15/public_html/zCommunity/Sources/Subs-Blogs.php
Line: 287
and couldnt access the blog.
Well...I don't seem to hit this issue....but...try to manually mod your index.template.php and index.php. I didn't do that for you, though now I think I should have.
post up the index.php and index.template.php, or PM me with them, and I'll manually add the code.
I don't have this issue on my forum, though. I'll have to look a into it a bit more.
I re-edit my post. Its happening at Hill's forum as well.
Now that you mentioned it,im going to see the edits on my files and make sure theyre there.
I checked both files and they're fine.
wow charless , what a nice and great mod
I love the new zCommunity Mod , Expecting the SMF 2.0 version ^^
You will release the SMF 2.0 after the RC1 is released??? Thanks for the info
I think other mods are conflicting but not sure. Attached is my index.php
thnx for this great Mod.!
Everything seems to go fine, after i hit "Install Now" my screen just goes white. I tried manually installing the files, and when i got to install_db_edits.php i just got another white screen. after trying to go back to my site, i got yet another white screen. Eventually i just deleted all the filechanges that happened.
Could you write out the DB edits? or do you think my problem was somewhere else?
If you are getting a white screen that means there's a syntax error and your site is not displaying those errors. It probably is failing to load the necessary zCommunity sources files. Make sure those files are in the right place.
Installed, but I also don't see anything in the Admin panel regarding going to zCommunity's Control Panel.

That work's but while trying to Import a Board to Blog and create a new one I got:

(The Astrix are just my cover edits)
How do I properly fix this, I don't know how to run upgrade.php.
When I goto apply the mod this comes up...
Fatal error: Call to undefined function preparezcfuncnames() in /home/eojmarke/public_html/testingforums/Packages/temp/install_db_edits.php on line 26
Indeed, board-to-blog brings :

I've tried various uninstall/reinstall with various trips back and forth between 1.1.6 and 1.1.7 but no success, doesn't seem the "upgrade.php" in the 1.1.7 patch (the one automatically suggested on the packages management page) is newer. The only thing I haven't tried is to go to 1.1.7 through the exterior update package, downloaded manually. The one that's require to uninstall all mods first. But why wouldn't its upgrade.php be the same ?...
Also I've tried to import the board while at 1.1.6 but I get another error. A simpler :
Database Error
Unknown column 'blog_category_id' in 'field list'
File: /quite/a/nice/long/path/there/zCommunity/Sources/ImportSMF.php
Line: 154
It might me of importance (or absolutely not) to note that these problem were about a blog that hadn't be manually deblogged, but had just been turned into a board at the uninstallation of "blog community". I might try later to boardize it clean (from the now-reinstalled "blog community") and then import it on "zcommunity".
[Edit : Have just tried it to be sure. Nothing to do with that. Just getting access to the blogs menu of zCommunity brought me to a

I have the same problem.
I cleaned everything, uninstalled my mods, got the original files back, basically removed everything that could be *obnoxious*... and spent hours trying to figure out what I could do to install zcommunity. It doesn't work. :(
My host accepts the file (permissions are 777 by default) ; I can upload it without any problem, applying it is okay but for some reason it won't get installed. :-\ I have no idea on how to solve this issue.
Here's the url I get whenever I click the install button:
http://finckaholic.com/forum/index.php?action=packages;sa=install2;package=zCommunity_0_7_0_alpha.zip
I don't know what to do, will possibly get the previous version back.
Nevermind, Runic fixed an issue I was having with my theme so I decided to reupload Blog Community. :) Everything's perfect now, just need to get the button back.
mmm clean database, when installing after successful test, i got:

mmm clean database, when installing after successful test, i got:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function prepareZCFuncNames() in C:\***\Packages\temp\install_db_edits.php on line 26
and when i went back and refreshed the page, the mod wasnt installed.. any ideas?
here is line 26:
require_once($zc_sources_dir . '/Subs.php');
prepareZCFuncNames(); <<<<<----- line 26
require_once($zc_sources_dir . '/Database.php');
require_once($zc_sources_dir . '/Settings.php');
require_once($zc_sources_dir . '/Subs-Maintenance.php');
Same error for me as I pointed out before...
Every single problem mentioned by all of you related to zCommunity 0.7.0 Alpha has been fixed. Please make sure that when installing zCommunity 0.7.1 Alpha that you upload the folder from part 1 before running part 2 of the installation in your forum's package manager.

Downloading new files now but one begs the question, why have two parts to install ?
Edit: Yes everything is set up fine, I can get to the CP but it looks nothing like the pics on the mod page. It alsmost seems as if menus are missing. Also this is on my test sites default theme.
Edit 2: Aside from what appears to be missing menu items etc as pointed out in edit one I also get this when I try to delete a blog.
Database Error
Unknown column 'blog_id' in 'where clause'

Note: It appears that your database may require an upgrade. Your forum's files are currently at version SMF 1.1.7, while your database is at version 1.1.6. The above error might possibly go away if you execute the latest version of upgrade.php.
Im using 0.7.1
I get this:
Database Error
Table '*****_smf1.smf_blog_global_settings' doesn't exist
File: /home/******/public_html/zCommunity/Sources/Load.php
Line: 32
The update didnt create the table.
I also see this when trying to access from admin panel.
I don't know what to tell you, BlueDevil... I tested this on a completely blank test forum (blank db and everything) and it worked perfectly. I even installed Blog Community 2.0.2, uninstalled that, then installed zCommunity 0.7.1 and it also worked perfectly. Can you give me more info about what you did to install?
edit...
Solution to MoreBloodWine's issue...
Go to phpmyadmin and run the following mysql (substituting your own table prefix):
ALTER TABLE `smf_blog_polls` ADD `blog_id` INT( 10 ) UNSIGNED NOT NULL DEFAULT '0';

Also for MoreBloodWine... more information is required
More info can be given if youd tell me what sort of info youd like but I have already given relevant information.

I installed everything manually. All i can say is,in the admin panel when i click the link to the control panel it takes me to a page with:

Your mod is not hard to manually install. 2 files 3 file edits. Easy. I just dont understand why it shows this error in ACP & /index.php?zc

@BlueDevil:
Uninstall everything and undo the edits that you've done.
Go ahead and upload the zCommunity folder (part 1), and then use the package manager to install the second file (part 2).
If you want me to again, I'll get it installed on there for you, but you should have no trouble with the two part method.

I did. I reloaded with 0.7.2 did the edits and shows the same database error.
Where are the permissions for the post count based groups?
Why is it now that when "Don't show forum template layers" it defaults to the SMF default template and not my own like in the past?
I don't want SMF's default template showing up in my forum in any form or fashion.
Why aren't other installed templates not an option?
Is there anyway to revert?
1) only non-post based member groups are shown for permissions
2) it uses whatever theme you have chosen in the Themes tab under Main in the control panel
3) What do you mean by "I don't want SMF's default template showing up in my forum in any form or fashion." ....... zCommunity doesn't do anything to your forum... just the blogging community pages...
4) There aren't other templates you've installed on your forum because you have to install themes for zCommunity... it's a completely separate theme system.

Please don't take the following as an insult, it's actually a compliment:
"The Curious Case of Charles Hill"
I've been here at SMF for a very long time. I remember when this thing was a baby. I used to beta test. I've seen many a mod.
I ranked your blog community mod as top 4 all time. Behind Sitemaps mod, Aeva, and SMF Media Gallery.
I've seen many an ungrateful member whine and complain about mods never having enough features.
This is a different type of rant. This rant is about overkill.
Prior to the release of zcommunity, the only criticisms I had about blog community was that it had issues converting a large topic to a blog, and that was it. Other than that, your mod was PERFECT. You included everything and the kitchen sink. Literally plug and play.
Blog community integrated beautifully with my forum and themes. That's gone. I had it set up where after 25 posts members would have blogging permissions. Now that's gone. The posting form, gone.
I can understand if blog community didn't work, but it did. Very well I might add. Have you ever driven a Bentley? Well that's what I liken blog community to. zcommunity on the other hand is a is not an improvement on the design, just overkill.
I deeply appreciate your effort and work on this mod, and I will donate accordingly, but I have to revert back to my "Bentley" until zcommunity catches up.
I know you will give various reasons for the drastic changes, but say what you will, blog community WORKED beautifully.
Would if be possible to get some type of support on blog community for the original issue I had?
Thank you.
Cant delete blog out of database,
little bug here and there but nice done.
Did the langauge change found in a post on your forum and that did the trick.
error is like this.

@ Elijah Bliss... sorry you feel that way. But perhaps you should investigate zcommunity further before you write it off.... Blog Community had a lot more problems than zcommunity. Integration with your forum is a lot cleaner and more secure with zcommunity as well. The separate themes system does not mean it won't work with your custom themes. You will have to make template files for zCommunity to match your custom themes just as you did for Blog Community. I don't know what you mean by Blog Community working with ALL of your themes.... it didn't...
@ Kreator... Did you try unzipping it on your computer and then making a new zip file?

thank you for the reply so fast.
do the hand mod out the zip files.

I'm going have to disagree. As a matter of fact one of the zcommunity style sheets is conflicting with my forum's style sheet...

Blog Community worked great with my custom AA New Damage Theme and Slick Pro. It looked great with every theme I had installed.
I'm still sticking with my opinion that blog community was excellent work and is better than zcommunity.
My friend who runs a hair care site has blog community installed and it integrates perfectly with her "feminine" themes. Everything works great.
I'd be willing to work with zcommunity but you removed post count based permissions which is a deal breaker.
Is there a way to reinstate the post count permissions? Also is there a way to disable lightbox? It's conflicting with the shadowbox I installed in my forum.

*blinks* If you don't have forum layers activated, it shows the theme that your forum has on it, with the header and anything that's layered in with it.
I think that you're getting a bit confused on what everything is and what the options are, Elijah, and I think that some of this is getting blown a bit out of proportion.
I don't have your "modified" themes installed on my little dummy forum, but I can install those bases and have them work just fine with zC. The only difference is that if you want to have separate themes per blog, you have the option to. To use a separate theme for zC (granted, there are only two choices right now, but both are easily modified), you disable the forum layers, and then choose a theme. At the moment, there's two: Clean - One, and "SMF Default". These are NOT the same themes that are installed on your SMF board, regardless of what you might think. If you look in the package, you'll notice that you'll have a "THEMES" folder in the zCommunity directory. In this directory, there are currently two themes.
You can easily disallow people from using custom themes on their blogs, so that they don't suffer the same confusion. I can take screenshots for you and then walk you through it step by step if you'd like, or even do it for you if you want me to.
Except for a few minor cosmetic issues (in AA New Damage, the copyright info was placed funny), and with this being an -Alpha- release on zCommunity, everything is fine.
I'm assuming that you don't want your header/footer to show, though, on the blogs, or that you don't want the template layers to be shown, which is fine....but I still see no issues using other custom themes with the forum template layers enabled. I've installed AA New Damage, Computer Stuff (christmas theme), SlickPro Graphite, Android... As I said...only minor problems, and cosmetic ones at that.
As far as permissions go, I'm sure that he's going to be working on future releases, and he might very well get post count permissions as well. There are a few different things out there that are being considered besides this, but I'm sure that it wouldn't be too much trouble to include the post count groups.
Lightbox should be easier. Just go through your source files and comment out the instances, I'd think. Once again, i'm not a coder, but this would be the solution I'd go with.
You're welcome to use Blog Community as well, though, until you're ready to switch, though...no one is forcing you to change, nor are we asking you to. You make that choice. This is still an "ALPHA" release, though, so there are obviously things that are going to be changed and filtered through.
if you need any help at all and want someone to look at it for you, i would suggest to pm them a test admin acct along with ftp..
if you dont know who to ask, then pm Charles Hill and either he can do this or he can find someone to help you with it..
its really not that hard, but i do understand your confusion.. the next move if yours.. ;)
should you need someone to customize a theme for you, it wont be that hard to find someone to do that.. :)

I understand the way the themes on zCommuntiy work.
I just don't like the way they work.
Everything was simple and easy.
And what you have said still doesn't address the posting form.
I've been here long enough to know not to waste time hacking and modding away at mods,
ESPECIALLY IF THEY DIDN'T NEED HACKING AND MODDING to integrate in to my forum in the first place.
The only fix I ever applied to blog community was getting the social bookmarks to work in IE, and that was what, a 5 minute fix?
Now you tell me I have to create new themes when I didn't have too before?
I think not.
I know I'm not being forced to use anything.
But I will criticize where criticism is due. And my criticism to Charles Hill was 1. Why he was fixing things that were not broken?
2. How do you go from Beta to Alpha?
3. Why are things being over complicated?
4. Why take away the permissions?
What IMO needed just a slight tweak here and there has been nearly ruined.
I'm still standing by what I said, and I did tell Charles that Blog Community was an excellent mod, but until zcommunity displays the same ease of use and "plug, play and go" as blog community I won't install it.
Elijah Bliss, all this is on you, the end user.. it is just a mod to make users of smf have an option for differences with their blogs, if everyone's blogs were alike, then its just going to the same forum etc., blah blah..
its your option, again, to use, or not use, that is your choice..

#1, have you made any mods that anyone can "criticize"?
#2 this is a move up from the blog community and to get it ready for the beta or didnt you read that??
#3. complicated is only how you are making it.. the instructions are plain, should you choose to read them..
#4., if you ask nice, and remember, it is the holidays, this could be fixed for you..
so here is my #5, relax, ok?? nothing in life is worth getting upset on.. ;)
Im using Blog Community now. Do you believe that it installed super easy? Oh yeah! without difficulties. Im tinkering with it now.
zCommunity 0.7.0,0.71 & 0.7.2 gave me nothing but headaches. It didnt install right for me in any way,shape or form after several different tries.
ok the thing is, it is Christmas and New Years time right now..
you know people are busy.. and i know, installing mods can be easy or hard.. thing is you have to follow directions, and if you get an error, say something, post what error you get, and wait..
the other is, always use a test site first..
i dont see anyone here that is perfect, so best thing is have patience.. if i wasnt so busy i would help out..
maybe after next week, as my clients come first.. if anyone needs me, just tag me, either here, in pm, or on my site.. im always willing to help out.. ;)
QuoteI understand the way the themes on zCommuntiy work.

What about the posting form? This is the first mention of the posting form in this topic. I see nothing wrong with the posting form.
QuoteI've been here long enough to know not to waste time hacking and modding away at mods, ESPECIALLY IF THEY DIDN'T NEED HACKING AND MODDING to integrate in to my forum in the first place.
.....you don't have to hack and anything to make it integrate with your forum. This one happens to have a lightbox functionality with it that doesn't have an option for disabling. Once again, this is an ALPHA release, so not every single function is going to be there. SMF doesn't have options for every single option either on it's alphas or even sometimes it's betas. Those are things that are implemented in later, usually after someone bring attention to it. Which you've already done. Beating the horse isn't going to make it go any faster.
QuoteNow you tell me I have to create new themes when I didn't have too before?
I think not.
Umm. Clearly, you're not reading anything that I wrote and taking it as a personal attack. I'm not sure why you're so pissed off or angry at what I've said...you don't have to make themes for zC
UNLESS YOU'RE GIVING MEMBERS THE OPTION TO HAVE THEIR OWN THEMES PER BLOG. Granted, I haven't used the old version for a little bit, but I'm fairly certain that the blog themes wasn't really working at the time...they still used the theme that was set on your forum, which zC
still does. Make sure that the option to disable forum layers is unchecked, and you've got yourself all set....it'll use whatever you see on the forum. The only thing is that there are a couple of minor cosmetic issues, which are more than likely easily fixed.
I said all this before, in my previous post, which you obviously didn't read, or took completely out of context.

You can criticize all you want to, but (once again) it's an Alpha release. It's not a final release. You can't expect something to have everything that you want and then some, because things don't work that way. It would take FOREVER to make something that has every feature that everyone wants that is completely flawless. That borders on impossible. You CAN criticize, but you should think about what parts you're fighting for, and the particular reason why you're fighting for them. So far, one of your issues isn't an issue, and the second one isn't something that will be completely ignored, unless you decide to make a huge issue out of something. This is a molehill, not a mountain, and it's certainly not something that you need to have an aneurysm about.
SO....in order of your questions:
1. He's not fixing things that aren't broken, he's modifying his modification in the way that he's chosen. This is his right and complaining to him about it is doing nothing to further your cause. He can do what he wants to his mod. You're not paying him for a custom mod, nor have you hired his services to implement any functionality that doesn't exist in it. Not only is it free, but it's an ALPHA release that still has a way to go before being complete.
2. This isn't "Blog Community" anymore. The code has changed significantly. There is more complications and more functionality than before. This prompted him to call it a new mod, since it's so different. SMF was based off of another forum software...they don't call it YABB SMF Version, they call it SMF, because after all the changes, it's something completely different.
3. Things aren't overcomplicated. Things are actually very simple. You're overcomplicating things by going out of your way to find them and criticize about them. Once again, one of your issues isn't an issue, if you'd just take the time to look at it and go with it.
4. zCommunity is on the verge of using it's own permissions system. Once again, if you looked at the packages at all, you'd see that there are number of files that are independent from SMF. This means that there is less changes to your forum itself or the files in it, which means that there will be less conflicts with installation and less issues with upgrades. While it pulls the groups from your Membergroups of SMF, it doesn't currently pull anything from the post-based. I'm sure that this is something that Charles is looking into, however it hasn't been implemented yet. Personally, I could care less about post-based permissions as I tend to have multiple accounts in different places, as do many other people. Their post count means little to nothing to me, so I delete all the post based membergroups I can and then blank out the options for the one that's left. I certainly don't complain about having to do that, because it's easy to deal with.
I'm with SmokyBlue, though, on this one. Take a deep breath, and relax. No one is saying you're an idiot for asking about these things. You're getting really upset over an alpha mod.
Would you go and install SMF 2.1.7 Alpha and then go on the board and complain that some things are different? Hell, on the SMF 2.0b4, themes are very different...there are over 10 CSS files to play with, and it's not compatible with some older themes, and ones that I personally enjoyed very much. Some were ones that I modified myself.
SMF 2.0b4 is also not compatible with some modifications that I really like from 1.1.7. Nor is it compatible with some mods from SMF2.0b3. This is why there are alpha and beta releases...and (surprise!) none of them should be used on a production site unless you're aware of the issues and can work around them.
I just don't seem to understand the passion behind your "critiques". It's not as if he promised that this is the final release and that it's fully working with everything and will give you a million dollars with a new sports car complete with a dream house, 40 strippers and a Lear jet. He's not even saying that you can't use BC anymore...you certainly can...obviously, there are no issues with it that you've had (as it's perfect in every way), so you don't even have any reason to upgrade or even LOOK at this mod. If BC does everything that you want/need, then stick with it...I've got old mods myself that I haven't upgraded, and they work fine! I doubt very much that I'd upgrade unless there was a serious issue that I had a problem with.
QuoteWhat IMO needed just a slight tweak here and there has been nearly ruined.
I'm still standing by what I said, and I did tell Charles that Blog Community was an excellent mod, but until zcommunity displays the same ease of use and "plug, play and go" as blog community I won't install it.
....just use what you've got until this meets your needs. BLAM! Problem solved.
I still stand by what I say too. zC is pretty much Plug, Play, Go. You have more options now, but...you don't have to use them all. You don't have to install it, and if you're not going to, then why worry about it? Wait until it has the features that you need, and then install it. It's what I do (and what nearly everyone else does).
---
BlueDevil:
zC has a lot more implemented in. Yes, I agree that it should have the install package as just one file, but there's an issue with making SMF move everything correctly. This is something that's being looked at. For now, though, there are two files to download (one to upload after uncompressing, and the other to use the package manager on).
There really isn't anything that hard about installing it as it is at the moment. Once again, I'd be happy to help you with it or do it for you if you'd like. That stands for anyone that's having troubles with it. I don't have a large site set up, but I've installed/uninstalled this many times already, and with 0.7.2, I'm still not having any issues.
--edit--
Just to ask, is there anyone that's done a mod that moves files around like zC should? It would be great to get a few pointers on how this is supposed to be done, because obviously something is being missed.
jkrlvgn,
i would love to play with this on my main site, however, i am using the beta on it, and as far as themes, havent met one yet i cant "play with" that wont make me upset... but i know where you are coming from..
on the mod issue for the 1.1.7, we are all now, at a stage in the game where everyone is either upgrading the mods for more compatibility for the beta, or they are going down the drain..
(reminds me to do mine :P )
thing is, if you dont say something, and say it nice (cuz no one likes to do anything for someone that will bwitch.. right?? or pay for a custom mod, and i do believe we have people that can do that as well..
so.... until things are straight, relax.. now back to my coding.. ;)
no biggie jkrlvgn 8)
*LOL* ******!! Not smokyblue....i'm sorry!!!!!!! Wrong person completely...edited to show: BlueDevil
I'm so sorry!!!
lol.. not me?? :P
hmm good thing eh jkrlvgn O:) :D
To Smokey Blue and jkrlvgn
Charles Hill is a big boy and I'm pretty sure he doesn't need his fans speaking on his behalf.
Besides, I'm not attacking Charles Hill, but he, nor any other mod maker is above criticism.
How else will they improve on their mods?
I've been here for a very long time, have a 900,000+ posts forum, been there and done that with the mods.
Have I made mods for my own forum?
Yes.
Will I release them for SMF?
No.
Why?
I don't want people like me on my case about my mods being buggy.
Now I'll be happy to give those mods to someone who's interested and has the time to develop them properly.
Again, I'm not making personal attacks on Charles Hill. Blog Community had way more than I ever expected. It's a top notch mod. Charles makes great stuff, but sometimes one needs to know when to leave well enough alone.

Charles Hill is a big boy and I'm pretty sure he doesn't need his fans speaking on his behalf.
Besides, I'm not attacking Charles Hill, but he, nor any other mod maker is above criticism.
How else will they improve on their mods?
I've been here for a very long time, have a 900,000+ posts forum, been there and done that with the mods.
Have I made mods for my own forum?
Yes.
Will I release them for SMF?
No.
Why?

hmm fan?? fans?? :o
i see.. and ya know what Elijah Bliss.. it doesnt matter if you came on yesterday or was on as long as i have been, either, correct? i wont participate in a spitting contest, and that is what this is..
if he chose to make everything separate from smf on this mod, that is on him.. dont like it, then dont use it.. its simple and rather than take up space from someone that has, and needs help, dont ya think one post on this is more than enough??
if you do not like the alpha, then stay with what you do like..
he put it here for people to enjoy and dont complain, as that is what it is.. this isnt criticizing you him or anyone else.. be gratefull for what you have, and use it well, or dont use it.. its that easy and simple. ;)
I appreciate and respect everyone's opinions. If you don't like things about something I've created and made available, that's alright, just explain what you don't like about it in a clear and succinct manner. I might not like what you've got to say, but I'll still listen. Everything I've done with zCommunity I've done for a reason, but I am not unwilling to make changes.
I ask you all to please keep things respectful... and keep this in mind... Sometimes less is more ........ I hate reading :D
What does the alpha mean... cuz if it means anything like beta then i know its still under testing and stuff
Alpha is the step before a beta. It's a warning that you shouldn't use it on a production site unless you really know what you're doing.

Greetings Charles,
Again, I didn't mean to come off as disrespectful, if I did, that wasn't my intention. The children blew this all out of proportion. Again, I love your work.
Here are some of the critiques I have:*Bring back the standard posting form with all the BBC buttons and functionality. Posters like consistency, going from a standard posting from to nothing is a shock to them.
*Have the option "display without forum layers" feature to use the SMF themes like before and to use zCommunity themes.
*Easier Installation.
*Bring back post count based permissions.
If I see anything else, I will post my concerns.
Notice how unlike the children, I'm not harassing you for toys like Aeva integration. I believe you should tighten up zCommunity before you start adding bells and whistles.
I will continue to support you and your work with zCommunity.
1) Yes, the posting form is different now. The only major difference is the absence of the bbc cloud, but it will not be difficult to add it. That's the beauty of zCommunity's posting form (extensibility). In fact if you look at the code in zC's Sources/Post.php you will see that the bbc cloud code is there (just not fully implemented yet). This will be added as a default feature of zCommunity soon.
2) The "display without forum layers" option IS there. If you go to your control panel (in the main tab)... Go to "Global Blog Settings". It's on that page. To do it on a blog by blog basis... the without forum layers option is located in the Themes tab.
3) Yes I've been doing some testing. I am seeing that the previous issues were caused by my server doing funky stuff with the files being unpacked by SMF's package manger. I am going to repackage the installation stuff and refine the install_db_edits.php included in that package so that it'll be very tough to screw up :)
4) Post count based member groups are intentionally excluded from the permissions, but it will not be difficult to include them. I'll have to look at it, but I think there are just a few edits required to make that happen.
Ok thats what i though i thout it would come before the beta
Hi Charles,
I was considering to install your MOD to replace Felblog in my forum, but I wouldn't like to lose the current data. I remember you talking about a converter for Felblog... is there one available or not?
(I tried the search system, but it's still buggy and impossible to find more than one ocurrence for the word 'felblog' on this topic)

Not to jack this thread but ......
....wow,i love your forum setup. Excellent color choice,layout...everything. Nice work.
@ Paracelsus ... I had looked at felblog's design scheme previously to determine the difficulty in creating a converter. I think it's do'able. I'll put that on my priority list of things to add soon.
Issue discovered. I had hard coded a custom window for Degrees of Zero (my site) and forgot to take it out before releasing zCommunity. This will be fixed for 0.7.3, but you can fix it yourself in 0.7.2 by following the instructions located at the following link:

;D... Tkx, lot of work behind it (months actually, but then again, I'm a medical doctor not a programmer :P), but I think it was worth the effort.
Charles,
I'm not quite sure why you felt the need to re-write the whole posting system and such... and I don't quite agree with the whole new theme system... but that is your right as the mod author...
However. one thing that I think is absolutely critical of ANY mod made for SMF is that it should utilize the SMF permission system.
(that's actually one of my tests for bridge compatibility with externally linked-systems as well)
In other words, by removing the capability of including post-count based groups in the permissions, I think you may have damaged the mod's compatibility with SMF. I'd like to see the full permissions/membergroup support added back in if possible. :)
(and I'd still like to see a 2.0 version. :) I have a 2.0 forum that desperately needs a blog system. LOL! )
I rewrote the posting system because I thought I could do it better... The way I made it, there is no limit to what functionality can be added. The only thing that's missing right now is a few ajax functions, spell checking, and the bbc cloud.
The reason I made a separate permissions system was because a lot of people were confused by having permissions for their blogging community located in the smf permissions area. Also there is a technical reason with having a somewhat simpler permissions system just for zCommunity... If zC used SMF's permissions system, there would be dozens of extra database queries. Plus there wouldn't be nearly the variety of zC specific permissions as there are now.
I am going to include post-count based member groups (it will only require a few edits).
Yes I am going to make it compatible with SMF2+. If you look at the code of zCommunity right now, you'll notice I've already taken many steps towards that end.
and one heck of a job Charles..
im really happy.. have it running on a test area and i have to say.. best yet..
keep up the good work my friend.. ;)
Thank you. :) Glad you like it. If you think of anything that's missing/confusing/not working don't hesitate to let me know.
lol my future feed plugin Charles..
i am going to start working on it within the next few days.,. will catch up with you when im at a point with it that we can do something with it.. ;)
Sounds good :)
no issues as of yet Charles but will let you know if i spot any..
what i did was drop the old db from the 1.1.7 i saved, removed all mods from it, and installed.. i havent had time to tinker but will soon.. ;)
Charles, I have a quick question. I remember using the Blog Community a while ago, and one feature that I liked was that the blog posts would also show up in a forum, and would increase post count. Is this available in zCommunity too (sorry if it is repeat :( )?
I haven't added individual user stats yet for the zCommunity. I will, though... it will not be difficult. What will be interesting is designing functions to be easily incorporated into smf wherever you might want to pull that info. Like.... maybe you would want to show a user's stats (# articles, #blogs, #subscribers etc etc etc) below their forum stats on posts (in topics on your forum)... or in their profile. I will be attempting a design scheme that will make this very easy and efficient.
What I was referring to was lets say I post a Blog article titled "Free Beer". Is there a function so that the blog post would also turn into a topic in a forum called Blogs by the name of "Free Beer".
Though THAT would be awesome (what you said in your post).

Ya that's possible... but I really don't see the benefit of that.
Hope would I enable it?
I want it so that if people blog a lot, their post count will still go up, and things like that.
So just having their post count go up without having a topic created for each article they make would be ok? That would be a lot easier.
I cannot get any manual install instructions. I just would like to know where I would be able to enter in my indextemplate and boardtemplate in my custom themes to show the 'Blog' button in the top menubar.
I was able to do that when I installed SMedia Gallery, and I know that I should be able to for this.
ALSO... haven't had a chance to experiment much yet, but is there a way that i could have a link to a user's blog under their avatar when posting in SMF?
THNX
-Sel
If you look at the themes.xml file in the second part of the install package, you will see what you need to add/change in your themes' index.template.php.
You will be able to add things below users' avatars when posting soon.
Please be aware that this is still an alpha, and you should not use it on a production site unless you really know what you're doing.

Yeah that would be fine.
0.7.3 Alpha is now available. I addressed all of the small problems found thus far.
Uh, I'm sorry, when importing a board I still get :
Database Error
Unknown column 'blog_category_id' in 'field list'
File: /I/always/forget/to/edit/that/zCommunity/Sources/ImportSMF.php
Line: 154
Note: It appears that your database may require an upgrade. Your forum's files are currently at version SMF 1.1.7, while your database is at version 1.1.6. The above error might possibly go away if you execute the latest version of upgrade.php.
I also do seem to have a blog already. Some ghost blog (probably a remnant of a failed attempt at creating one with the older version of zcommunity) is present, but it wasn't visible on blog community. Trying to delete it from the last zcommunity gives the following error :
Database Error
Unknown column 'blog_id' in 'where clause'

Note: It appears that your database may require an upgrade. Your forum's files are currently at version SMF 1.1.7, while your database is at version 1.1.6. The above error might possibly go away if you execute the latest version of upgrade.php.
And trying to access it leads to :
Database Error
Unknown column 'bs.blog_id' in 'on clause'
File: /y/a/w/n/.../zCommunity/Sources/Load.php
Line: 135
Note: It appears that your database may require an upgrade. Your forum's files are currently at version SMF 1.1.7, while your database is at version 1.1.6. The above error might possibly go away if you execute the latest version of upgrade.php.
Maybe there is a way to manually clean it. But would it solve the problems ?
Also, am I mistaken or was the blog community page completely removed from the SMF mods site ?
Charles, I have 1 more question. Is it possible to edit/delete articles/comments using zC? I can't seem to be able to.
Yea... As super admin, you should be able to do anything. If you want to let others be able to do things you'll have to look at the Permissions tab in your blog control panel.
If you are missing the images icons on your server or if they aren't in the right place, you won't be able to see them. You should check to make sure they're where they're supposed to be.
@Xepernas... Try dropping all of the zcomm related tables in your db and then run install_db_edits.php from your forum's main folder.
Hi Charles:
I like and don't like Blog Community (and am too little of a techy to install zCommunity). However, the biggest problem I'm having now is that I can't register at your site to ask questions and get support. I've registered as QueenTiye and as QT_Too (or something like that) but I never receive the activation email, so I never can log in. And - I've got a bunch of questions and suggestions... so... help?
QT
if you cant get the activation from Charles' site, just post it all here, he will get it either way.. ;)

Ok, here's the freaky stuff I did (yes, this looks like brain surgery, to us proud noubs).
Went to some phpmyadmin console. Found a "structure" list with several
database's_name_smf_blog_
stuff including a _smf_blog_blogs that I emptied. It was indeed containing the 'ghost blog remnants', and the reinstalled zcomm didn't see it after this action (it was telling me I had 0 blogs, which is very good). However upon importation of a board, I got the same error as usual.
So, back to the phpmyadmin thingy. Shall I delete (instead of empty) all the _blog_ entries in that structure list ? Is that what you were suggesting ?

Dropping a table means you remove the table from your database. This is different from just emptying it. The install_db_edits.php is not capable of checking your current zCommunity related database tables for accuracy... yet. I will be making additional functions for checking your current tables against what the sources files think the tables should look like (structurally) so that you won't have to do any of this manually. But for now, you'll have to drop all those tables and just run the install_db_edits.php manually.

Excellent. I deleted all the entries with "_blog_" in the name, assuming they would be the zcomm-related ones. And then I installed zcomm (which runs install_db_edits anyway). Now, when I try to import a board, I get a much more awesome error :
An Error Has Occurred!
Session verification failed. Please try logging out and back in again, and then try again.
I did, of course, but I keep getting this. Looks like it does the importation despite of it (although it doesn't remove the board from the forum, like blogcommunity used to - maybe this is precisely the step where it fails to recognize my admin account). Any idea on how to correct it ?
It's not supposed to remove the board from the forum. Just in case something went wrong, I don't want you to lose anything. As for the session verification thing... I'll check that out when I get back home in a couple hours.
Hi Charles,
I have 1.1.7
Blog Community 2.0.2
SimplePortal 2.1.1
I have problems with my SP not showing bottom and right blocks on portal page and also showing SP blocks on all of the members Blogs. This happens even if I have SP disabled. I have asked SP for help and they are saying that There seems to be something overriding SPortal templates. Possibly the Blog Community mod.
So I am trying to uninstall the Blog Community and I get these errors:
./Sources/ManagePermissions.php Test failed
./Sources/Subs.php Test failed
./Themes/default/index.template.php Test failed
What I am trying to do is see if this is indeed causing the problems with the portal. If so would adding the zCommunity possibly work with SP better??
I need to keep the blogs for the members so I will do whatever you think is best to get them all to play nice together lol!!
I also am using the following mods:
Mod Name Version
1. Remove SMF Logo 1.2
2. Hide Info Center From Guests 1.0
3. SMF Trader System 1.2
4. SMF 1.0.14 / 1.1.6 Update 1.0
5. SMF 1.0.15 / 1.1.7 Update 1.0

10. Look But No Read 1.2
11. Contact Page 1.1
12. Custom Profile Field Mod 3.19
13. Are You Human? Anti-Bot Registration Check 1.3

you must go in manually and remove the code from those files.
if you have a custom theme as well, then you need to remove the code from that too.. ;)
Thanks!! So do I do the uninstall first or change the codes first?? Sorry still trying to wrap myself around how all this works lol!! :) :)
@LaughOften.... I'd do the manual uninstall of those few files it is failing on, set those altered files aside on your computer, then perform the uninstall via the package manager, and then upload those few files you manually altered to your server where they need to be.
Thanks I will give it a try. :)
All went well with Blog Community uninstall Thanks!!
Of course that did not fix the problems with SimplePortal !!
So I decided to install zCommunity. It went without a hitch. I managed to get my member blogs back. How Cool!!!!. I only have one little problem which I notice is an IE7 problem. Works fine in Firefox.
I am in my blog/ Blog Control Panel and all of the tabs that say Blog Settings, Themes, Categories, Permissions, etc. are over laying on the board below. So like now I am in Blog settings and I can't read what the first thing is because the tabs are over it, But in firefox it looks great and it says Visible Hidden
Any ideas how to fix this?
IE7 really? I don't get that...... Hrmmmmmm... What's your operating system?

Mine says the package part 1 is corrupt. :/ Anyone else having this problem?
Could it be because I also have Tinyportal installed?
You aren't supposed to install part 1 via the package manager..... You are supposed to upload the folder within it to your forum's directory.
Oh geez, that's what I get for not reading. Thanks, I feel sufficiently humbled. ;)

thanks.. working fine now..
can you tell me how to use lightbox?
Explanation can be found here:
http://www.huddletogether.com/projects/lightbox2/
thanks, but can it be activate using bbcode?
Not at the moment... unless you have the lightbox integration mod installed on your forum.
so blog users cannot use lightbox using bbcode?
Not by default. I put it in there for the preview images of the themes. It wouldn't be terribly difficult to add an attribute to the img bbc tag to make it use lightbox if you want it to.
it would be great if you can guide me on how to make the changes to make lightbox works..thanks
I'd have to figure it out first. It'd involve regular expressions, which I am not very good with. I am in the middle of figuring out how to make this whole thing work with SMF 1.1.x and SMF2+ simultaneously.

Sorry no fix for that yet. I cannot replicate the problem, so that makes it particularly difficult to fix. I'll just keep trying to clean up the template files. Hopefully it'll go away on its own :)
It's so good.Thanks

I GUESS THE $txt['b348'] STRING IS ON ONE FILE..
WHICH FILE NORMALLY CONTAINS $txt['blabla']
Blog.english.php had the BC txt strings, but that doesn't matter...
Here's where $txt['b348'] is actually used in your template files...
This is in your Themes/default/index.template.php:
', empty($context['bcr']) ? '<div style="bottom:4px;text-align:center;position:'. ($context['browser']['is_ie'] && !$context['browser']['is_ie7'] ? 'absolute' : '') .';z-index:500;">'. $txt['b348'] .'</div>' : '', '
You can just remove all that code.
ya, thanks, lol...i just found it after like an hour..and your reply coming at the same time..thanks anyway..
any time that you see "eval?" it means that the error occurred in the build of the page, not in the code... so it is likely that the error as reported is not in the file or line number that you see in the list, but is in something that either is called by or calls for the file.
(you will see this quite often with load.php and subs.php)
Hi sorry to bother you again lol!!

this is GREAT!!! hope to see more features and bug fix soon.. thanks
Charles, Do you happen to have the latest version of Blog Community that I can use? I like zCommunity, but it seems to powerful for me, and I don't know what happened to my BC.
Thanks.

The sideWindows error...... That is actually a mistake I made with the default blog template.... I forgot to change something in the template_sideWindow($array) function....
I make changes on my template files and then I make the changes to the default template version.... Anyways.. find the following in Blog.template.php:
global $context;
// it's done this way for ordering purposes...
for ($i = 1; $i <= count($context['blog']['sideWindows']); $i++)
{
replace with:
global $context, $settings, $scripturl, $txt;
if (empty($context['viewing_blog_index']))
$sideWindows = $context['blog']['sideWindows'];
else
$sideWindows = $context['blog']['blogIndexSideWindows'];
// it's done this way for ordering purposes...
for ($i = 1; $i <= count($sideWindows); $i++)
{
This is probably why your side windows weren't working right. Also... the rss_feed is a txt variable which *should* be in your Blog language file.
edit---
About that mysql error at line 724... did you do the fixes that I suggested? It has to do with $context['visible_blogs'] being empty....
I too am getting the side windows error:

I think what is happening is that the default theme style.css is being loaded from zcomm's default smf theme folder after your site's actual main css file... so the css classes of your site are being overwritten with zcomm's default smf theme's css. I'll make the necessary corrections.

Hi. I've been searching for a fix for this...
SMF 1.1.7, moved from copied from old host to new with db so i could...uh..play with become proficient with mods. :) Everything was up and running so I installed zCommunity - despite the large warning error. This was the test site after all. Worked fine. So in the spirit of testing (i.e. bored, snow).
This time I kept getting package manager errors, so I tried the temp folder trick I've seen online and it worked. I think. The problem is that the link to "Control Panel" on the left under the zCommunity headers just takes me back to the index page of my forum.
A rundown -
-downloaded part 1 and 2 today
-uploaded folder from inside part 1 to main directory
-chmod to 777
-uploaded the.zip file of part 2 to packages, installed through the SMF admin (using the temp folder trick) after chmod packages to 777
It's kinda weird that the first time I got the warning and the install went fine and this time i did not get the warning and it's just sort of in limbo. The only visible difference I caught was that there seemed to be fewer files to install the second time around. This is what is listed:
install_db_edits.php (2698 bytes)
license.txt (4014 bytes)
other.xml (2719 bytes)
package-info.xml (974 bytes)
readme.txt (5693 bytes)
sources.xml (787 bytes)
themes.xml (5212 bytes)
Finally, if it means anything when I hover over the Control Panel link, I get "....../index.php?zc=bhp"
I also can't seem to make that link go away (tried changing Admin.template.php in default, and admin.php in sources)
Any suggestions are appreciated. Other than don't uninstall things that work. I learned that :(

In zCommunity/Sources/Load.php
Replace the following:

// make sure this function exists....
if (!function_exists($zcFunc['log_error']))

Hi, do you have an ETA for how long it will take until BETA? :) I'm considering to try this on my site, but I'm also wondering if i should maybe wait until BETA?
Edit: Okay, i couldn't wait. :P So i installed. ;)
1. Hm, i wonder about the copyright, could that be placed along with the other texts? Now it's kind of floating around in the middle of the page, looking really weird. o: I'm not asking to remove it, just to move it over to SMF and TinyPortal-copyright? :)
2. About permissions, could i somehow restrict some for all users? :(Maybe through Sources/Permissions.php?) O I don't want some of them available for me neither, so that would be great. :o Or remove? something like that?
3. On "Default Settings for New Blogs" i can't uncheck group 9, it has the ID 9, and it just doesn't go through, i uncheck it, and save and then it's back. :(
4. ...And can I completely remove social bookmarks? ... and tags?
By the way, i've tried to find this myself on the CP, but if i missed something, sorry about that..
Thanks!

I do not have an ETA on a beta yet... I'm hoping the next alpha version will be stable enough that the next version I release will be beta. Shouldn't be long... have had some set backs recently due to the weather in my area... and school started up again this week.
1. Still working on stabilizing the templates/themes. Can help out by reporting what the exact problems you are experiencing (and what browser/version you are viewing the page with).
2. Not sure what you mean by restrict some for some for all users... Just don't give a permission to any membergroups if you don't want anyone to be able to do what that permission allows.
3. I'll check that out.
4. There aren't settings to do this... I guess it wouldn't be hard to add code to allow for this admin option, but not high on the priority list.
Thanks for the answer. :)
1. FF 2 and IE 6. It's after all the content, but not anywhere near the other copyright text, since thats in the footer, and i've TinyPortal stretching out the page, so while it seems like you copyright is floating around in the middle, i guess it's because the body-content ends there, perhaps you could make the Copyright go after Powered by SMF and that in the footer? :) Just a suggestion though. :)
2. Restrict for Administrator also, or delete the function. Like Start Poll. I don't want to see it either, since i don't plan to use it. :D And stuff like that. :) You know the membergroup (administrator) that has all permissions.. I'm in that group, and i would like to disallow some functions so i don't see it either. :D
3. Thanks. :) Happens in the reading restrict page for blogs too. :)
4. Okay. Hm, could i do i manually? Or would you recommend against it?
5. Could i somehow tell all blogs to use standardsettings and not allow the owner to change it? My users would be confused by Meta and Comments and Articles.
I'm kind of trying to remove as much options as possible. :) I love the possibilities with this Mod, but there are lots of features which are to advanced for my community.
I think it would be great to choose what you would like to use and not, and if you don't want to use it then it isn't visible in the settings page (except the one where you choose if you want to see it or not). ^^
Just my thoughts though, my members aren't used to lots and lots of options and configuration, so i have to make it as simple as possible. :D
Thanks once more. :)
why would anyone still be using IE6 or FF2?
nothing should ever be restricted to the admin.
Standard functionality would be to only allow a function to be turned off... if Charles wants to do that.
Because that somebody is on a very old computer with XP servicepack 1, and by some reason you cannot download IE7 then (Microsoft really wants people to upgrade from SP1 i guess). :/ Gosh i hate this computer. ;) About FF2? Good question. :P I'm not entirely sure why i've not upgraded yey. My new computer with Vista and updated IE and FF is currently not working so that's why i have got this old comp out of the closet. ;)
I was so eager to get back online so when i couldn't upgrade IE6 i automatically assumed it was the same with FF i guess. xD Actually i think i'm on FF1.x-something. >:( Guess i'll have to do something about that later. ;)
I kind of figured, because you can't turn it back on after disabling it i guess? I thought that maybe writing something in Permissions.php could have been easier than coding so the stuff could be turned off. 8) (I'm) Always trying to find the easiest solution (for myself and others). :P
Ps. I'm not entirely sure why i'm using so much smilies, if someones wondering . :P

Did you backup your files before installing zCommunity? If so just upload the backups and you'll be fine. Wait til 0.7.4 Alpha... and please remember that when something says Alpha that means you should be extra careful when using it. Make sure you really know what you're doing so that if something does go wrong you won't lose anything.

before you install ANY mod, you should always take a backup of your files and database.
Hallo all,,,,

thankx in advance
can this work on smf 2.0.4 ??
zC does not currently work with 2.0.4b. I'm fairly sure that Charles is working to make it compatible, but it's not yet been released.

well that information would of been helpful to me when i started using SMF.
but anyways, isnt there some way you can explain what to do?
(hint: Backups should considered a vital part of ANY computer task, including your home PC.)
if you don't have a backup, then my suggestion is to make a fresh start with a clean set of forum files.
(You won't lose any data, forum data like messages and members is stored in the database.)
Get the 1.1.7 installation package. Copy every file into your forum directories except for the install files and the Settings.php file.
You now have a fresh forum and can start applying mods the right way (taking backups before each mod and verifying the correct implementation of one mod before you apply the next one)

Any news on that ?
Haven't been foruming a lot these days, so maybe I missed something. But I don't find any other allusion to that, in these last pages...
Hi,
I just added a new theme Headline news and I want to change the blogs to match this but they won't change from the theme default core.
I have to options Clean one and SMF Default and neither one show as the theme I am using.
Any ideas how to get this working?
Thanks in advance!!
I think a theme that grabs most of the .css from the forum theme would be great. Since with a dark theme and white text on the rest of the layout, using either of the two themes looks weird.

I am unable to replicate the problem you were having. I'll try to replicate it again with a fresh install of 0.7.4 when i get it put together. You were using Blog Community previously right? Did you experience the problem on a forum that had BC installed before you installed zCommunity?

Hi,
I just added a new theme Headline news and I want to change the blogs to match this but they won't change from the theme default core.
I have to options Clean one and SMF Default and neither one show as the theme I am using.
Any ideas how to get this working?
Thanks in advance!!
Do you have "Toggle all blog pages to display without forum layers" checked (in the Global Blog Settings page of your control panel).

I think a theme that grabs most of the .css from the forum theme would be great. Since with a dark theme and white text on the rest of the layout, using either of the two themes looks weird. I would like it to grab .css from my theme first and then the rest (if needed) from the mods theme. :) That would make it simpler to change the css-later. Is this possible? ^^
In 0.7.3 the css stylesheets for your forum's theme were loaded, but then stylesheets from the zCommunity themes folders were loaded, so if they used the same css classes your forum's css would get overwritten. I switched this around for 0.7.4 so that the css from zCommunity's themes folders would get overwritten and not your forum's themes' css.

I did have Blog Community, but this error is a new thing. I think I had some issues with Blog Community (some comments would be hidden, and there would be no space between the name of the commentator and "on [date]", you'd look like "charles hillon 18.01.09" or something like that), but I never investigated these much, preferring to wait for the brand new mod instead (and actually adoring the new names built by the added "-on"). Maybe some settings would have solved those. I'll never know.
Anyway, right now I'm following the same strategy : Haven't been fighting or exploring that bug much, preferring to wait and see it it still occures after 0.7.3 de-installation and 0.7.4 installation. Will the update require to erase and re-upload the "part 1" folder too ?
QuoteIn 0.7.3 the css stylesheets for your forum's theme were loaded, but then stylesheets from the zCommunity themes folders were loaded, so if they used the same css classes your forum's css would get overwritten.

Sounds great, looking forward to that. :)
QuoteDo you have "Toggle all blog pages to display without forum layers" checked (in the Global Blog Settings page of your control panel).
I checked and it was not checked so I checked it then did a hard refresh and still the same, no change.
QuoteWill the update require to erase and re-upload the "part 1" folder too ?
You will have to delete the old zCommunity folder yes. Good news though... The installation package will be all one part and all zcomm database tables will be checked and fixed if necessary. The only problem I've encountered are permissions of the zcommunity folder after installing via the package manager.

(hint: Backups should considered a vital part of ANY computer task, including your home PC.)
if you don't have a backup, then my suggestion is to make a fresh start with a clean set of forum files.
(You won't lose any data, forum data like messages and members is stored in the database.)
Get the 1.1.7 installation package. Copy every file into your forum directories except for the install files and the Settings.php file.
You now have a fresh forum and can start applying mods the right way (taking backups before each mod and verifying the correct implementation of one mod before you apply the next one)
i am very dumb with this. so can i haev isntructions on how to move the files to a new smf forum. please. im desperate.

Well I saw where there was the forum layers to check in each blogs control panel so I unchecked those and unchecked the community page and now everything seems to be working fine!! LOL Thanks for the help!!
Mia,
I gave you instructions. However, if you are having further problems then start a new thread in the 1.1 support area rather than continuing in this thread which is for support of the zCommunity mod

Any clue on when you'll have 074a package ready to rock.

Still testing it with various things installed before installing zCommunity. Also going to test it with smf 2. Theoretically it should work......

Look at the smf link at the bottom ;)
aha . interesting ..cant wait for the 2.0.4 ! ....
What's really cool is that zCommunity (one package) will work with either SMF 1.1.x or SMF 2.0+
I have yet to look at the code of vBulletin, phpBB, and other forum software, but I do plan to make zCommunity for those as well.
2.0 woot woot... gimme gimme gimme...
I'll test it on a RC1 dev release site with 32000 users too... :)
I had a lot of failures in attempting to uninstall BC before installing ZC. Not sure where to go from here? I want to use ZC, but it looks as if there's too many hurdles to jump over before being able to do so? I'm using the SMF multi-color default themes with a bunch of mods. :(
I attempted to uninstall BC as well. Here are the errors I received:

Hi
I have installed this mod today and I must say "FABULOUS"!!!!
I would like to add a tab though to my "OutlineOmega_115" theme though.
I have tried doing it but can't figure it out.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
TIA
Kirsty
Hold for 0.7.4... I'll be releasing it this evening. I have not tested zCommunity on SMF 2.0 Beta nearly as much as SMF 1.1.x, so there might be some issues I haven't found yet.
For uninstalling Blog Community:
Just like with any other modification for SMF... you'll need to look at the installation package for the mod and do the opposite of what the installation instructions say for the files that the package manager fails on. First download those files off your server to your computer, then make the necessary uninstall edits, then run the uninstall from your forum's package manager for that mod, then upload the edited files.

Sorry I don't know of any :( You could try searching simple machines' forum though... might get lucky and find one.
First run QA of zCommunity 0.7.4 alpha
Ok.
Installled cleanly into SMF 2.0 RC1
(yes, I had to run the install_db_edits manually by direct access.)
It slides nicely into the current theme.
Immediate notes: in the blog control panel sub menu, when you are IN a category, the bordering | | marks between the menu items for the category you are in are missing (i.e. active category has no borders)
Attempting to post a comment on a blog entry, I get:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_ARRAY in /site.../zCommunity/Sources/Subs-Comments.php on line 150
clicking RSS feed or RSS Articles feed takes me to:
http://site.com/index.php?zc=.xml;type=rss;get=articles
and geenrate the following error:
Fatal error: Function name must be a string in /site.../zCommunity/Sources/XML.php on line 283
Clicking RSS Comments feed generates a successful XML, which is empty, since I have not been able to submit a comment.
Question: How do I edit a blog entry once it is made (i.e. I made a typo...)
I am an admin, plus I checked the permissions to make sure that the other group I am in has access to all of the edit capabilities.
I chose "add a poll", and entered a poll with options. I click post... but can not find the poll anywhere.
(once I chose"Show polls in sidebar" they appeared. Perhaps this should be noted somewhere? However, I still can not seem to GET to the poll in order to vote in it.)
Users allowed to post articles list (Question: shouldn't the user who started the blog be included on this list by default?)
Permissions screen:
Can view any blog_a (Question: is this the correct text?)
I'm running EZportal... I forget... do you have block code available for that or an add-on mod to link someone's profile to their blog and/or blog posts (tied in with smf contributions (i.e. forum posts)?)
Another note about EZPortal, I have a left column set to appear on "All Actions and Boards", but the zCommunity pages do not respect this. (I assume because of the separate templates?)
Suggestion: IN smf2.0 at least, add a link in the forum admin > modifications section that links to the blog control panel.
Suggestion: in the blog specific internal navigation list, separate the interna nav like the SMF breadcrumbs (i.e. using >> between items like Main>> Kindred's blog)
Suggestion: Use the term "Blog Entry", "Blog Post" or "Post" instead of "article" since article tends to mean something more along the lines of news rather than blog.
note: Having the blog breadcrumbs in a menubar under the main forum breadcrumbs is odd... either combine the blgo breadcrumbs into the forum breadcrumb trail or hide the forum list/trail and use only the zCommunity trail.

QuoteImmediate notes: in the blog control panel sub menu, when you are IN a category, the bordering | | marks between the menu items for the category you are in are missing (i.e. active category has no borders)
edit-- Figured out the problem here and I have corrected it.

Although, in the blog control panel section of the individual blog, it does have a blank left column headed by a tabbed menu showing "Write Post" and "Go to Blog" and then an empty column beneath that.
Also, in the same screen, the main control menu (to the right) overlaps the first line of the options below it (on the starting screen, that is the set of radio buttons asking hidden or shown).

[/quote]
most excellent! I missed that the first time through. Using your explanation let me enable it and post.
This addition definitely should be looked at for inclusion with the various portals (FelPortal, ezPortal, TinyPortal) and possibly some external stuff like SSI functions (actually one may solve the other... creation of SSI-like functions to display most recent, etc. would allow it to be included as block in any of the portal systems or even on outside HTML pages)
(yes, I know you're still in alpha and here I come offering suggestions for major additions... LOL)
I think the main addition I would code in (and may end up doing so, if I get the time) is to add a link in a user's profile to their blog... and possibly an icon link in the mini-profile used for posts (SMF's display.template.php). I have not looked deep into the code or database yet... but I suspect that a user's ID can be used to generate a query of which blogs belong to that user.... or even better, this information can be added into the $user_info and/or $context array(s) for potential use throughout the forum.
My FTP is being slow at the moment and I am very tired. I'll finish testing the changes tomorrow and update it on the mod site.
Quick question?
do all img tags have alt tags so blind users can use this blog?
also the gear img talked about above, how would a blind user get it to open? is it a dropdown menu?
thanks Flip
*blinks*
I don't want to sound like a complete jerk, but I never thought that blind people would be using something like this. I'm sure that all the images can have img tags, but wouldn't the images in the menus cause issues, or at least extend the problems with the site taking forever because of the numerous image tags (on some themes, not all, I'm sure)..?
As far as the gear icon goes, it's a CSS thing...so, you'd have to navigate your mouse over it to bring up any options from there.
If I may ask, how blind are we talking about here? so blind that everything is read in an audio-type fashion, or just legally blind, where you can still see, but only from VERY close (using a projector/magnifying screen to see, etc..)?
Either way...it shouldn't be hard for Charles to add the stuff in, but...wow. A completely different perspective.
Well, I'm totaly 100 percent blind and do use a screen reader and the default theme is quite easy to navagate, to date the only part of the forum that gives me any problems is the stats area at the bottom of the forum index page.
the layout is all wrong, but working on that.
You'd be very surprised just how many blind people are out here on the web these days. we even have closed sites (pay for use) for blind and visually impaired folks.
well back to work, got to figuar out the stats area, not looking good for what I want it to do.
Boo-Hoo, Cry-Cry

All the img tags have at least alt="". However, there are quite a few that do not have text in the alt attribute. I'll add them :)

Did you upload install_db_edits.php to your forum folder and then access it directly via a browser? Nothing in zCommunity will be activated until at least blogMode is added to the _settings table of your forum (which is done by the install_db_edits.php file along with all the other necessary db edits).
I am testing this in 2.0b4.
I have problems with templates (also,I have the problems that someone posted here early): I can't run any template that is not the default in my forum.Even if I select "clean" template,I only get my default template.Any help?.
BTW,can every blog have his own template? can SMF templates be used in blogs,such as the default one,but without being by default?.
Thanks.

A zCommunity page has to be "layerless" (without the forum template layers) to use the Clean - One theme. This is because there isn't a Clean - One theme for your forum (just zCommunity). Yes every blog can have its own theme. You'll have to either make some new ones yourself or wait til others make some. To make zCommunity use your forum's theme, you'll have to make a zCommunity theme that looks the same as the rest of your forum.
I am using zCommunity and I have Headline news theme set as my default theme for my forum and I set it for default in the blog settings and it now uses this theme for the community blogs.
You have to make sure you go into the global settings and each bloggers settings and make sure you uncheck the block for forum layers to get this to work properly.
So how do we get other themes to show up in zCommunity to be able to have folks use them as well. I have other themes for the forum but they do not show in the community.
Thanks!!! :)
Hi Charles,
I didn't notice this : :-[
"Upload the zCommunity folder (from the compressed archive package that ends with __files) to your forum's main directory *BEFORE* installing the changes to your SMF Forum via the package manager installation package."
Then i delete the files concerned by installation of the package and i replace them by the backups files(~) but i still get this message:
Internal Server Error
The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.
Is it talking to you ?
Please help, more then 1000 people 'll be waiting for the forum(vers 1.1.7). :'(

Uh......... I have no idea how to help you... There could have been any number of things you messed up that were unrelated to zCommunity. Some of those backup files might have caused several other mods you had installed to break. It doesn't sound like the problems are zCommunity related.
Guys how to enable this mod in Admin panel?
Two things that would be nice:
1-With "show forum layers" enabled,It would be nice that,inside blogs,It didn't show the header.Is it possible? I mean...use the default template BUT without header.
2-The possibility to put "blocks" in two columns (right and left),not only right OR left.Even up and down too,but right and left is ok.
I cant seem to set permissions. I can click the checkbox, but it doesn't really save. Guests seem to be enabled by default, but if I log out, it tells me there are no blogs to view. I log in and can see them.

SMF version? Also, there are a number of things that can make a blog
invisible to a user (blog could be hidden, the user's member group could not have access to that blog and the individual user doesn't have access).
I finally got the mod up and running. It's a fantastic Blog mod. The only problem that I've found is that after I create a blog with the first entry, I get an error when trying to add a second entry. You can "preview" the 2nd entry just fine, but when you try to post it, you get this error:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_ARRAY in /homepages/35/d171960345/htdocs/mywebsite/zCommunity/Sources/Subs-Comments.php on line 150

I already have the blogs using my default theme. My question is: I want all of the themes I have to offer on my forum available for members to choose in their blogs but it only shows Clean and default. How can you offer all of the themes you have available on your forum in the blogs??
EX: Clean, Default, Dilber, Headlins, Blue Ace, etc.
Thanks :)
and he answered you... you will have to create zCommunity versions of those themes.

I was able to fix it. There was a missing comma. The only other problem I've found is that when you create a poll, it doesn't show up anywhere. But that's no big thing. I'll just disable the poll feature.
This is one of the best mods I've found so far.

You have to enable a blog's Poll window for it to be visible. What I did to make this more intuitive for 0.7.5 was to not add the Start Poll link to your options if a blog's Poll window is disabled.

Just don't allow users to post polls (it's a permission in the Permission tab of your control panel), and leave the Polls window disabled for your blog(s).

Anything is possible. I'll put it on the list. It's not high on the list right now, though.
I am presently working on project pages for zCommunity on my website. There will be a place for plug-ins and themes. Before you ask me for an ETA on that, I really cannot say yet. Presently working on a secure downloads set of scripts (download keys, etc). Just keep checking here and my site for updates on this.

We are using 1.1.7 version.
In your forum's admin area you should see zCommunity section header in the admin nav menu... then you should the Control Panel link. In the Global Blog Settings tab of your control panel you will find the Blog mode setting (disabled, single blog mode, single blog mode (hidden), blogging community mode).
I don't know why,but with alpha 0.75 I get a blank screen when I trie to go index.php?zc after installing it >:(
Ok,solved ^^.

The code is not difficult, but you'll have to call a few zCommunity functions to load user info and to make sure people only see what they are allowed to see.
Hi Charles, when i had upgraded 2.0.4 i have missed your mod.

I'll figure out a good way to allow html/php in custom windows and eventually custom community page blocks eventually, but it's not high on the priority list at the moment.

Hello,
How can i manage that is see the smiley row when i write an article.
Thanks Stef.
The problem is that it's rather difficult to get the necessary information about what bbc tags and smileys to actually use, because that information is within the Post.template.php file of SMF 1.1x and I believe it's in a large function in the sources files of SMF 2.0... I might be able to figure out a way to have a manually-run function from the zCommunity control panel that could "import" the information to a special file, and then load the information from that file whenever the zCommunity post form is loaded. I'll work on it.

What do you mean? Edit articles? Hover over the gear icon on the article and click the notepad with the pencil icon.
I thought that was how to do it but for some reason that and the Bookmarking options are not showing anymore.
Laugh.... did you switch themes? I noticed that the gear and bookmark only appeared for me when both the forum and the community were set to "default" theme
I moved the basic css for zcommunity into its own css file in the zcommunity default theme folder. It will always be loaded regardless of what theme(s) you're using. I've been shuffling things around and doing a lot of debugging and testing, so hopefully we're getting close to something stable :)
Yes, I have added a few new themes. I have the forum default set to Headline news and the Community is also the same.
It was there before because I see I edited my articles on 1/2 but no one has access to modify them now lol
I still have 0.7.3 installed
Okay I went back into global settings and checked the block for the forum layers and saved. I went into the blogs and now I can see the place to modufy and the bookmarks.
So the only way to use a custom theme is to not check this but in doing so it removes the bookmarks and the gear icon.
Is there a way around this?
Updated to 0.7.6 Alpha.
I haven't figured out how to delete individual blog posts... is there something I'm missing?
I can only delete entire blogs... ::)
Thank you for your hard work :)
Mouse over the gear icon on an article or comment and click the trash can icon to delete it.
Strange I don't have that icon showing. Just looked at your screenshots and definitely don't see that icon on mine... here's a screenshot.
Oh wow, the functionality is there... but the icon isn't showing... like rolling over an invisible link...
I'm using 2.0 Beta 4 w/a custom theme.
Thnx for your help.
Are you using 0.7.6 Alpha? If not I recommend you upgrade. Make sure that when you upgrade, you delete the old zCommunity folder and upload the new one.
Just upgraded... still same problem
When I highlight everything you can see it's there... and I can delete it if i'm careful and hover over the right part... but just can't see the icons... any idea?
Attached...
I changed the theme to "SMF Default Theme - Core" and it works in there... but it also does not work in my "Classic YaBB SE Theme" included with SMF... thoughts?
I'm using this template:
http://www.dzinerstudio.com/index.php?action=tpmod;dl=item62 (http://www.dzinerstudio.com/index.php?action=tpmod;dl=item62)
I don't know if this question has been addressed or not, but is there a way to limit users to just creating only one blog each? I don't want my users to get carried away and create an unlimited number of blogs.
I have this mod installed on my smf 2b4 and I think it's one of the best mods available.
r3ck,
If you had read just a few posts above your own... or read my test results on 2.0, you would have noted that I have alreayd mentioned that the gear icon ONLY appears on default/default combination with 2.0.
I assume it's a theme/CSS thing which can be resolved fairly easily on each custom theme, but it has to be resolved by each installation

What mofification would we need to add to be adle to use this with 1.1.7 and a custome theme to be able to see the gears and bookmarks??
Also to update you have to delete the xConnumity file then upload the diles folder, then use the package manager on the second folder is this correct?
Will it save all the blogs that we already have?
Thanks alot!! :)

I had this problem. Make sure that you do all the index.template.php edits. I think the one that you need is the ?fin or something like that, but do all of them.
If it's not working for you, then the index.template.php edits for your theme(s) are not being made properly when you are installing. I separated out the zc specific css into its own file, which is always loaded for zcomm pages..... so you shouldn't have the missing icons problem, unless you are missing the necessary code in your forum's index.template.php file(s).

What database type and version are you running?
Upgraded to 0.7.6. Seemed to go ok... but looks related to Andree's I couldn't detect which error produced since forum crashed. MySql... 5.0.51a-community--- same one that's been working, recent upgrade...
Global Blog Settings on save produces server 500 error... :-[
??? ?noted... also had seemed to cause some type css error with font size on initial install, which reverted to normal after 'going home' tab.
Also killed user's avatar....
So, was gonna uninstall, remove, and repeat..
Uninstall broke the forum, et. al.
Thank the Gods of Cyberspace I'd saved all my originals,0.7.5 and db... was able to re-upload them and original db backup and finally got forum and zComm 7.0.5 restored... and all seems well.. ???
Nope, I have no clue what I might have missed... something terrible happened...
It is critically important that you deleted the old zCommunity folder and uploaded the zCommunity folder from the zCommunity_0_7_6_alpha__files.zip archive. There are a lot of things that were changed. Beyond that being the issue, I don't know what might've caused that problem... unless the uninstall didn't remove all the zComm code from previous version(s) or the new install didn't make all the necessary edits.

Charles,
I don't know if this was something that you intended on doing, but my theme linktree doesn't show anything now, with the new update.
And I'm back to zC, BC seemed not powerful enough, so I'm just back to this ;)

Aye, Aye, Kindred... Being Alpha is part of the fun... perhaps my note was a bit 'colder' than I intended... (running this whole thing as an experiment at http://chipsontheweb.net/Box111 (http://chipsontheweb.net/Box111) and there is little going on at present)
BTW... this mod's working fine on SMF2.0 RC1, as the 7.5 alpha... and that Global Settings was the only issue with .6alpha ... the other issues occurred when I tried to uninstall the .6mod.

In zCommunity/Subs-Blog.php .... find the following:
addslashes($zcFunc['htmlspecialchars'](stripslashes(zcFormatTextSpecialMeanings($zc['settings']['base_new_blogs_name']) . $num_of_blogs)))Replace with the following:
addslashes($zcFunc['htmlspecialchars'](stripslashes(zcFormatTextSpecialMeanings($zc['settings']['base_new_blogs_name']) . $num_of_blogs), ENT_QUOTES))
I'm still getting the error. Doesn't that just mean I have to add a row to the database somewhere?
Or might it have something to do with this option?
Base name to use when creating new blogs
{special:owner_name} is replaced by the blog owner's name
EDIT: It does, I removed that input field in Opera's source editor, then applied changes, submitted the form and it worked perfectly.

I image that the upgrade from blog community is just an uninstall and instal de new package, with no data lost, right?

zCommunity using different database tables so you'll have to use the import board function to import the old blogs.

I am using SMF 1.1.7 Please help :)
SMF version = ?
PHP version = ?
zCommunity version = ?
I said I was using SMF 1.1.7
PHP version 5.2.8
I didn't know there was more than 1 version of the zCommunity, since I only saw one offered on the mod site. I am using 0.7.6 Alpha....as it is the only blogging mod for SMF 1.1.7 unless I am missing something somewhere. If there is a stable version of this mod or any blogging mod, that would be great.
Also, some of my text from earlier came out different then what I had typed. It was supposed to say that when I set up the blog it comes out as Test User 's Blog (without the space between User and 's).
I would like to address any complaints / issues anyone might have with this mod and its compatibility with other mods like SimplePortal, ezPortal, TinyPortal, etc...
SimplePortal, TinyPortal, ezPortal are modifications for SMF... and as such I cannot be expected to be able to make zCommunity work 100% perfectly with them.
Also in response to some of the reports of theme / template issues with various browsers...
I have tested zCommunity in all the latest versions of all the major browsers on Windows Vista and it seems ok. I have limited access to a Windows XP machine and will test zCommunity with that as well. If you could please tell me what versions you are using, that would help me improve backwards compatibility with older browsers.
I don't have a Mac computer, although I have tested zCommunity in Safari on Windows Vista and it seems alright. Again if you could please give detailed information about the browser version(s) and operating system(s) of the computers being viewed on that would help. There are sites I can use to view screen shots of my website through the eyes of various operating systems / browsers, but I am limited by the # of screen shots I can take a day. Whenever you are reporting an issue you are having with themes/templates or anything, please... A screen shot of the problem with a brief explanation of what you think it should look like would be very helpful.

It is to your benefit to make all the edits to the index.template.php files of your forum... Information about your forum's boards will be put into the description and keywords meta tags when viewing the message index or topics of your forum... There is one edit that can be added to your forum's Sources/Display.php that will add specific topic data when viewing topics as well, but it isn't included in the install package yet. It's simple so I think I will add it.
About the issues people were having with SMF 2.0... I think I figured it out. SMF 2.0 reverses magic quotes, but SMF 1.1.x does not... I had added the reversing of magic quotes to the form processing function of zCommunity... I have altered this slightly to only try to reverse it when needed (for SMF 1.1.x when magic quotes is on). I removed almost all the stripslashes that was going on when loading data from the database and have double checked every place that htmlspecialchars should be happening so that it happens *before* addslashes. Also, for the un_htmlspecialchars function it will no longer try to use htmlspecialchars_decode from php for PHP versions greater than or equal to 5.2.3. I think this was part of the problem. Hopefully this will fix any problems that were happening.
Hey Charles... I've been busy last few months, and comming back here to this thread now..
Just a simple question... Is there any versions of the blog mod that can be ran at a prod server ?
I mean, you called one earlier release beta, but it worked like a charm on my test server ;)
Btw, this mod rocks! and I'm so excited to get it out on my site :)
Nothing stable yet. Works great for me on my test forums and my production site, but I am one person with one setup. The hardest part is going to be getting the themes/templates to behave properly in a wide variety of browsers types and versions.
Yeah, the template stuff for my own site i can fix ;)
But would you wait about starting to use it live?
Since its alpha relase, I guess there migth come a lot of structural changes, that would leave a live site a mess, if things get changed drastically later on in the mod
Yes I am in the process of drastically changing things... primarily the template. The end result of these current changes should make the creation of zcommunity themes a lot easier.
Since blog community is gone any ideia when to expect a stable release ?
ok... 2.0 RC1 using 0.7.6 (different server than the previous test)
atempting to import a board (Although I received a server error, (500) each time, I succesffully imported 5 others)
but with this board, I get
Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded in /SITE/Sources/Subs-Db-mysql.php on line 318
When I attempt to save the global settings, I get a 500 error and none of the savings are set.
SITE/index.php?zc=bcp;u=1833;sa=adminOnlyOptions;sesc=#############
Suggestion: offer an option to allow an Admin to reassign the ownership of a blog to a different user?
Trying to install V 7.6 on Beta 4 with no luck, get the error message:
Could not locate the necessary zCommunity files. Database edits failed!
I've unzipped the zCommunity 0 7 6 alpha___files
On EVERY directory - still get the same error message.

I will have to develop my own method of breaking up tasks such as importing boards / topics and community maintenance so that operations won't time out.
I added a change owner function in the Blog Settings tab for blogs. This is accessible for users who "Can change the ownership of individual blogs" which is a new permission (super admin should be able to do this automatically of course).

Hi, thanks for the help.
Sadly the new .077 release has the same bug - I've copied the unzipped folder "zCommunity_0_7_7_alpha_files to every directory within smf that I can think of and I still get the same error.
Either the documentation is wrong or its just a bug. I don't think I can copy it to more folders - a waste of time.

I did copy over the zCommunity folder to every folder in smf and finally got it to install without an error - not sure where it should really go. I'm now hunting to find the Blog stuff - no luck after 15 minutes - will keep on trying.
Finally stumbled on the Blog CP and clicked the Import button and get the error message:
An Error Has Occurred!
Session verification failed. Please try logging out and back in again, and then try again.
I sure am not having much luck with this module.
Tried to modify the "Blog Settings" and get the error:
The following error(s) occurred:
must be unique.
Odd... I upgraded to 0.7.7
now I can't even get into the blog section.
SITE.COM/community/index.php?zc
gives me the message "Error!" and reloaded the forum front page
I found a way to get in, but after trying one more import, the "blog" link in the menu is gone and there does not seem to be any way to get it back. Attempting to go back a page and save the blog as "enabled" has no effect at all

When does it give the error message? It gives an error message then reloads the forum board index? I'm confused...
QuoteTried to modify the "Blog Settings" and get the error:

Ya the $txt['blogName'] variable doesn't exist... missed it when I was rewriting the names of all the txt variables. It's supposed to be $txt['b391']. As for why the error occurred... Two blogs cannot have the same name.
well, I clicked "Blog" in the menu, and the title tag (in the browser title bar) said "Error!"
I had a link at the bottom of the screen that said "blogs not intitialized, blick here to go to blog admin..." or something along those lines.
I clicked that and went to the blog admin.
Attempted one more board import and got the 30 second timeout warning, used the back arrow and then clicked manage blogs to see what I could so with the existing blog... this resulted in the blog menu item disappearing and every attempt to get back into the blog section results in a reload of the forum index.
-edit- oh, how VERY odd.... I looked at the server and the zCommunity directory had been completely removed.
I suggest emptying out the blog_blogs, blog_articles, blog_comments, blog_polls, blog_log_polls, blog_log_articles, blog_log_blogs tables in your DB. There was probably a problem with half importing a board to the blog tables... I mentioned that I need to devise a method for chopping up the importing of blogs/topics into smaller tasks so that you don't get the time-out problem.
@ that edit... ya that's really weird.... There's no code in the package-info.xml that would suggest doing anything with the zCommunity folder.
ok... so, I restored the files along with my custom theme...
with the exception of not being able to import one of the pre-existing smf boards into the blogs, it seems to be correctly working now... And THANKS for adding the "reassign owner" function.
I was able to import the blogs of 8 users who had been the moderators of the "blog board" in SMF.
Wow! I like this thing.
Hopefully the last major bugs will be out in a week so I can incorporate it into a new chat room I'm releasing.
This is going to be fantastic.
Would be nice to hook up the spelling button.
Glad you like it :)
There's still a lot of functions / scripts I need to get done to get this thing stand-alone. There's so much that goes into making a large scale stand-alone script it's ridiculous. I want to get this thing to that point because I have a website / brand idea that I want to get going, but it requires a script like zCommunity (but a stand-alone version) for it to work.

Here's a screen shot of my blogs page. The entry with the picture is the admin's. The other's are just test users I created. Their avatar's won't show. Any ideas? Thanks.

Down the left hand side of the listed blogs there is nothing showing, except for the admin's avatar. Is there somewhere that I can enable the avatars for all members?
Thanks in advance.

The admin avatar was uploaded from my computer. The other 2 user's avatar are from the smf installation.
Problem with permission. Blogger can't access to the blog's control panel. Сan't create an article in his blog, but can edit.
Where can i set that the zCommunity is my "homepage" instead of the Forum itself?
When i'm ready with all, i will translate the whole blog into german-utf8, and upload the files. ;)

You have to edit some things in your smf sources files and the main index.php. I'll make a Tips & Tricks section which will contain a How To for doing this (can't give an ETA on this right now, though).

Are you sure they are the owner (you can see who the owner is in the Blog Settings tab for that blog in the control panel)? If they aren't the owner they have to be on the "Users allowed to post articles" list or be in a member group that is allowed to post articles (look under the Posting Restrictions tab of the blog in the control panel for the allowed to post articles lists).

Yes, they are the owner. and can't create an article in his blog, but can edit article
Hoi Charles,
Great mode. I have installed te latest version of zc.
But i have a problem with tinyportal 0.98
I can't hide the blogs..
Maybe you have an idea how i can do that.
Thanx
ok. 0.7.7 installed
the blogs that I imported from boards assigned me as owner.
I then used the re=assign function to assign the correct owners of the blogs.
however, the owners can not see the "write article" links or the "blog admin" link... it looks like the system doesn't really se them as the owner.
Also, each time someone goes to a blog, I get the following set of errors in my logs

Ya I suppose I neglected to test things thoroughly from varying user perspectives... I'll run some tests and debug things for non-admin users. As for the file function errors... I am not all that experienced with file permissions and such... yet. I am about to get to work on finishing off the processing of file uploads via zCommunity's form processing function, so I'll figure it out.

I get that problem too. Yeah it does seem that the write permission isn't added to the permission list for regula user's.

OK, on my test smf 2b4 forum, I just uploaded avatars for my test users and they show on the blog page just fine. It's the avatars that come with smf and you select from your profile pages that don't show up in the blog. They show up in the forums just fine. Anyone else having this problem?
I updated from 0.75 to 0.77 and now some options in control panel doesn't show properly (the template is "cutted",for example in themes,preferences,global settings,etc).
Hi, thanks for the zCommunity, the mod is really great, though it might be a bit better if it had smf's wysiwyg post box.
Cheers!

Found the problem... In zCommunity/zc.php ... Find the following and delete it:
$context['is_blog_owner'] = false;Find the following in zCommunity/Sources/Load.php:
if (empty($blog) && empty($article))
return false;Paste the following code after the above code:
$context['is_blog_owner'] = false;@jayman2 ... still working on it.
When you are in time, can you please tell me how to make it that the zCommunity is my default page, and the forum is like action=forum? ;)
What version of SMF are you using, Crusader?
I'm using SMF 2 RC1.
Thanks Charles,
It's a great mod. Just this avatar problem that's got me stumped.
@ The Crusader ... I don't have SMF 2 RC1 and I haven't made zcomm be the default forum page with the board index being at action=forum on any versions of SMF 2. If I recall correctly, the only places you should have to change anything are SMF's Sources/Load.php and SMF's main index.php. I don't really have time to look at SMF 2's code to figure this out right now. :(
Hmm, at your page is the startpage the zCommunity and the forum is action=forum. ;)
How you did this?
Only by edit the Load.php and the index.php?
I'll try it out, and when i got it i will post the changes. ;)

$context['zc']['zCommunity_is_home'] = false; (located in zCommunity/zc.php)

3. I assume you're using SMF 2? I haven't figured out SMF 2's menus yet... You'd think everything would be located in one place... but noooooo... sigh

2. another missed text.see picture
Yup I found them all. They were in options arrays of various settings. Thanks :)
When I extract the zip package I have no folders at all and hence not one that ends with _files. Thinking I was misunderstanding something I installed it anyway and it doesn't show up anywhere except in the admin CP.
I may need some enlightenment on how to install this or it won't work with my very tweaked theme.
Thanks
There are two zip files... one called ***_files. THAT is the one that you have to manually upload to your server before you install the package.
As for your theme, I can say, almost certainly, that it won't work completely without further tweaks

Well, aren't I jist a ninny :-[
Lemme try that.

Best I can tell it installed, all the admin stuff is there, I enabled it and set permissions for everybody, but it doesn't show up in anybody's profile. Oh well.
This looks like a colossal amount of very hard work went into developing it, but I don't really need it and at the moment it isn't worth what it looks like I'm going to have to go through to get it working.

Go to the Blogs tab from your forum's main navigation menu... Or you can reach it via the address bar... .../index.php?zc should be self explanatory from there.

You are correct. I haven't added that yet.... I've been hesitant to make modifications to SMF's code. Less is more I think. Though having information from your site's zCommunity in the user profiles could be very helpful.
SMF Media Gallery has done a nice job of adding a profile tab for the user's galleries and images... You might take a look at how they did that.

After upgrading to 0.7.7 Alpha I seem to have lost my side window with the archive. I have the settings checked to show the side window (or unchecked really to not hide it) and have archive checked and it doesn't show.
Any ideas? Maybe I missed some setting somewhere or something
Actually, it would seem it won't let me post writings either. It just clears everything out and says I need a title and body entered even though I did.
I checked the error log and woah..

I uninstalled the old version before installing the new but perhaps I need to clear out the database also...which means I'll lose all my previous blogs
You updated the files yes? Also... what version did you upgrade *from*?
PHP version?
Ist it possible to use php in a sidebar?
I want to show with SSI the recent_posts and other stuff?
Or can we make this as a little plugin?

I'll get to work on that... I want to make it a standard feature (allow for php or html or both in articles, comments, side windows, custom blocks). There will be permissions for this of course.
As a side note... I finally fixed that weird Session Verification failed error that was occurring when importing SMF boards :)
What do you think how long do you need to make php and/or html possible in a block? ;)
Well I haven't made the custom blocks (for the community page) yet. And I still have a couple tricky bugs to tackle (including better compatibility with Internet Explorer ack!). Couldn't say how long it'll take...

I uninstalled it through SMF and deleted the zCommunity folder then uploaded the new zCommunity folder and installed the new 0.7.7 Alpha. I can't remember the previous version but the blog was only maybe 2-3 weeks old tops so I'd assume it was whatever version before 0.7.7 Alpha
PHP 5

Oh very cool, that. You mean for 0.7.8, though ?
hmmm.... 0.7.7 still having some "saving" issues.
I can not change the default access permissions for blogs... nor can I change the actual blog's access permissions.
So, the only people who can access the blogs right now are guests, and 3 of the 12 member groups (oddly enough). Regular members can not access any of the blogs.
HI Charles,
When i configured my blog en fill in a name en description and save it. I will see the description only in Firefox but not in IE.
How can i set an description of the blog on the community page?

Some of the stuff in zCommunity/zc.php needed rearranging. I've been doing a lot of testing as different member types with different permissions and as guests in all 4 modes. Think I got all the kinks worked out. Fixed a ton of little things and a couple big things.

A lot of the dhtml stuff like 'view description' I have hidden from IE users because IE doesn't like to do some things properly.

Yes that fix will be in 0.7.8
Just a question: will you release upgrade scripts with alpha versions,or we will have to wait until betas or RCs?
Still shuffling things around and making large changes, so no there won't be upgrade scripts. There are very few changes made to the SMF files anyways, so it shouldn't be horribly inconvenient.

Your old blogs will become regular boards in your forum, and you'll have to use the import SMF boards function in the control panel to import them to the zCommunity database tables. I would hold off on using zcomm on a production site, though (especially if you've got blogs with substantial amount of content).

I'm currently running Blog Community 2.0.2 -- If I remove that package and install zCommunity, will it recognize my existing blogs?
Your old blogs will become regular boards in your forum, and you'll have to use the import SMF boards function in the control panel to import them to the zCommunity database tables. I would hold off on using zcomm on a production site, though (especially if you've got blogs with substantial amount of content).

Thanks for your reply, Charles. I have a replica site that I am going to test with using this release, but I certainly understand your reservations about moving forward in production with the current iteration.
Hello Charles I have a couple of questions, a couple minor and one major:
First before I do anything else like upload the latest version etc. I will ask the major question.
I am trying to narrow down the source of an issue I am having at my board:
http://bandalumni.startlogic.com
The problem is as follows. I (and others report this as well) open a browser window (I use IE7) and log into my site. If I then subsequently close out of the browser and open a new browser I wind up seeing the following problems.
1. I can not access the admin center.
2. I can not reply to posts.
3. I can not log out.
4. It has also been reported to me that registering is sometimes an issue.
the error I receive is a Session Verification error.
To clear this issue I can clear my temp internet files.
I apologize if this is not an issue with your mod but I am trying to narrow it down and I am thinking it is either your mod or possibly a conflict with the TP mod. I also saw you mention something about a Session Ver error and was wondering if I finally found my answer.
I also have a couple minor questions well one maybe. If I do upgrade my zComm to latest version are the manual instructions same as for previous version? I have a custom skin I am inserting the bits into. Thanks for all your help.
Smooth aka Heather
Maybe I should just install the previous version and hope that works again as it didn't have any issues for me and displayed nicer. Only....I don't have it saved anywhere. Anyway I can get it?

No you shouldn't be having issues like that because of zcomm... that's most likely a problem with another mod you've installed. The session verification error was occurring when importing an smf board to the zcommunity database tables. I am pretty sure the installation package for zcomm's 0.7.8 will be the same as 0.7.7... can't be 100% sure on that because I don't have time to read every line of code in it at the moment.

Patience... almost done with 0.7.8... have to finish incrementing the import board function and one last bug I have to fix...
SMF 2.0 RC1, 0.7.7alpha
Ok. in addition to fopen and other file related error messages:
I have the permissions issue (changes to group permissions are not saved... The check boxes get checked, but are cleared as soon as you clikc "save"... and the data is not written to the database. I have manually edited the permissions in the database, but those are not reflected in the checkboxes either.
Also, when a user tries to delete an article in his personal blog, it says that not allowed to del community news..
and I'm not allowed to edit community news either...
When I try edit article it says :
You are not allowed to %s.
Which is true, for permissions... I am not using community news, so all permissions for that are disabled... but what he is doing are rleated to his personal blog articles, not community news articles.
-edit-- I think I may know why I am getting so many file errors... under 0.7.6, I added a theme called greyscale. when I upgraded to 0.7.7, the directory is there... and the database references the greyscale theme, but there is no option in the blog admin to use the greyscale theme or even to add a theme...

Page request Error
The page you have requested does not exist.
What am I doing wrong? Or is this a bug?
Ok, I found a fix...of sorts...If I specify something else along with the URL, the main blog page will come up. For example, http://whatninja.com/index.php?zc will not work, however, http://whatninja.com/index.php?zc;theme=2 will work. Any suggestions on a real fix though? Please?
0.7.8 Alpha now available. Tested on fresh install of SMF RC1 and SMF 1.1.8, worked great.
Charles,
I still have the one problem:
-- Global blog settings are not saved. Some are, some are not, but the default permissions definitely are NOT saved. The checkboxes get checked, I clikc save and the checkboxes become unchecled. In addition, the checkboxes for not reflect the manual database entries I was forced to add in order to make permissions work.
The fopen, fwrite and fclose issues seem to have been due to a mi-set of the new theme that I added. I have not seen then since the install of 0.7.8 and the correction of the theme installation.
question on permissions for users who belong to multiple groups:
Are permissions inclusive (i.e. if ONE of the groups that a user belongs to HAS a permission does that mean that the user will have that permission) or exclusive (i.e. if ONE of the groups that a user belongs to DOES NOT HAVE a permission does that mean that the user will not have that permission)
This doesn't work properly on 2B4, can someone assist me please? :'(
you know "doesn't work properly" is not at all helpful

Also, update to RC1
Does now html and php works in a custom side block?

I tested permissions and global settings, and had no problems saving them on a fresh install of SMF 2 RC1.
Yes @ the fopen stuff.. If some of the themes or plugins you have installed have the same names for their IDs or settings IDs, then the files are rewritten where necessary to avoid any future conflicts. I still have to run some tests on these functions to get them to work properly in all cases.
Permissions should be inclusive.

No not yet, sorry. This last version was more of a large bug fix.

If i make custom changes to the files i have to re-do them every time because You're not letting us know which files You changed.
Will all articles go away too every time we upgrade?

The info in your database will be unchanged when you upgrade. This is still in an alpha version... There are too many changes for me to keep track. If I were to do that, this would takes a very very very long time. I would wait on making too many custom themes or modifications of your own until later versions.

Figured out what problem you were referring to... fixed it :)
A large problem was discovered with the detecting of missing columns for a few of the database tables. I figured it out. Also I fixed the few other minor bugs that were discovered.
I'll have 0.7.9 ready in a bit.
0.7.9 out :)
On a clean install it isn't working for me, it just throws up an error (can't see it now, deleted the files, will test again in a bit). And do I have to overwrite all of my files, meaning all edits/mods I'll have to do again?

When/where? What version of SMF? Yes you have to delete the whole zCommunity folder and upload the new one.

Ok so I completely uninstalled 0.7.7 and deleted the files
I then uploaded the 0.7.9 files and then installed the smf files for it.
Everything looks how it looked back BEFORE I put 0.7.7 on (which is good, I liked how that looked)
However when I fill in a subject and an entry and try to post it, it clears it all out and then says I can't post it without filling those items in.

The syntax will be quite apparent in the contact forms plug-in I've already made (and am using on DoZ). I just need to finish developing the downloads system plug-in to distribute said contact forms plug-in ;)
Ok, then i will wait until you will be ready to release your first plug-in. ;)
Okay, I'm running 2.0 BETA 4.
I've tried 0.7.7 and 0.7.9, neither work. 0.7.7 just comes up with a template parse error, but within 0.7.9 I cannot access anything to do with it on my forum, when it says "Click here to be taken to the blog control panel" or something like that, it just takes me to my forum home page, what should I do? :'(
I'm running smf 1.1.8 and I'm can't upload any version of zcommunity except 0.7.4. Whenever I try to upload any other version I get this error:
The package you tried to upload either is not a valid package or has become corrupted.
I've redownloaded it several times and it will unpack without any errors, but package manager just can't upload it. I have 0.7.4 installed and running great except the blog won't display any avatars that came with the smf installation. If I upload an avatar from my pc, they display in the blog just fine. Is there any other way to upload the new version so I can install the latest version of zcommunity?
JayMan2, it's got to be in a new folder in your root forum directory called "zCommunity", (the "_files"), then you upload the main via Package Manager...

Thanks for your reply. I know how to install it. I have it running just fine on 2 sites. I just cant upload any version except v0.7.4 thru Package Manager in smf 1.1.8. I can only upload v0.7.4 thru Package Manager. I would be happy with 0.7.4 if it wasn't for the avatar problem. I would like to upgrade to the latest version of zc.

I'm pretty sure it's a bug. A lot of people have reported this issue (including myself).
Thats a little reassuring since I now know its not my problem but also a little disappointing since it will stay broken until a new version is released.
I love the mod sofar (except for that deal breaking bug where you loose your entire post and get that error message.)
0.7.9 posting and commenting works for me ....

SMF 2 has its own caching system... so the cache has to be cleared after initially installing zCommunity. I forgot to add the code that clears the cache to the install_db_edits.php file.. go to your admin area and save your settings somewhere the zCommunity stuff should work then.

What do you mean you can't install the later versions? What problem is occurring and when/where?
Instead of wasting a lot of time figuring out what exactly is going wrong with the $_SESSION global, I am using another method of doing the same thing... Should work for those of you who were experiencing difficulties with it. Rather than force you all to wait for the next version I've attached the altered Post.php so that you can get it working.
That fixes the problem for me but creates another problem that is extremely minor. Under the new individual blog settings there are two save buttons. The bottom save button does nothing but refresh the page. The top save button works normally.
This fix works fine for me. Thank you very much.

That has nothing to do with Post.php
That is an unrelated issue, that I will look at right now.
edit---
Could someone who was having the problems with posting try the Post.php attached to THIS message and tell me if it works for them or not. Thanks :)
That brings back the "field can not be blank" error for me. Although I am not sure if that is the "posting" problem you are referring to.
Ya that's the posting problem I was referring to... Blah... Will keep playing around with it, but if anyone wants a temp fix for that problem use the Post.php from that other reply.
I'm guessing the problem that I'm having with blog permissions not saving is related to this bug also?
No not at all. What version of zCommunity and SMF?
Quote from: Charles Hill on February 16, 2009, 01:14:46 AM

zCommunity 0.7.9 Alpha
Smf 2.0 RC 1
I can check the blog permissions checkboxes that allow membergroups to have access to blogs, but then when the page refreshes after I click save, the boxes are no longer checked and nothing is changed in the database.
Hi Charless, I have a problem with the bcc code. When I typing an article en want to make it bold of set an image. Normally you must select the text or image (or other) en put the Bcc code button (bold, image etc). En then it put an html code around the text.
In the ZC (I have now version 0.7.9) it set the html code at the end of the (completely) article text. I hope you can fix it in the new version of ZC. Maybe it is possible to set more text options (text color, attachment etc) so de writer have more options to present her/his blog article.
Maybe it is an idea ( I hope it is possible), Can you make a option in the blogs so everyone can change the background of his/her blog (by default background I can set, or attachment or both).
So can anyone help with my issue? (Page 61).
Hey GQ...
that's the same issue I am having (although I am NOT having any problem with posting.)
I finally got zc 0.7.9 installed. I didn't recieve any error messages during the install. Everything on my forum seems to be working the same, but when I click on the "blog" button, I get this error:
Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required '/zc.php' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php5') in /homepages/35/d171960345/htdocs/mywebsite.com/index.php on line 310
This is what appears on line 310 of my index.php:
// zC_START() function is where everything in the blog community starts...
require_once($zc_dir . '/zc.php');
return 'zC_START';
Has anyone else seen this problem, or know what's causing it?
Thanks in advance.

Instead of wasting a lot of time figuring out what exactly is going wrong with the $_SESSION global, I am using another method of doing the same thing... Should work for those of you who were experiencing difficulties with it. Rather than force you all to wait for the next version I've attached the altered Post.php so that you can get it working.
That did it for me. Works now. And as far as I can tell so far theres no errors coming up.
Good stuff. Thanks for not making me wait for the next version too!
i didnt see where can i edit the artcile has been posted?

You've got the old code for zCommunity in your forum's index.php... you have to uninstall all the edits from that file and then install the correct edits. The edits for that file are located in other_1_1_x.xml (if using smf 1.1.x) or other_2.xml (if using smf2).

Hover over the gear icon on an article or comment in your blog and a bunch of icons will appear with the appropriate actions possible for you. If this is not appearing, you need to make sure that the edits were made properly to whatever forum theme you were using (the index.template.php file of the theme... forum/Themes/default/index.template.php for example).

Hi Charless, I have a problem with the bcc code. When I typing an article en want to make it bold of set an image. Normally you must select the text or image (or other) en put the Bcc code button (bold, image etc). En then it put an html code around the text.
In the ZC (I have now version 0.7.9) it set the html code at the end of the (completely) article text. I hope you can fix it in the new version of ZC. Maybe it is possible to set more text options (text color, attachment etc) so de writer have more options to present her/his blog article.
Maybe it is an idea ( I hope it is possible), Can you make a option in the blogs so everyone can change the background of his/her blog (by default background I can set, or attachment or both).
Not entirely sure what you are saying :(

Okay, I'm running 2.0 BETA 4.
I've tried 0.7.7 and 0.7.9, neither work. 0.7.7 just comes up with a template parse error, but within 0.7.9 I cannot access anything to do with it on my forum, when it says "Click here to be taken to the blog control panel" or something like that, it just takes me to my forum home page, what should I do? :'(
I did answer this:
"SMF 2 has its own caching system... so the cache has to be cleared after initially installing zCommunity. I forgot to add the code that clears the cache to the install_db_edits.php file.. go to your admin area and save your settings somewhere the zCommunity stuff should work then."
edit---
I just tested the permissions area... had no problems at all. Where/when exactly are you having difficulties? (Kindred and GQCritic)
Hi Charles,
I can give you a temp admin account if you'd like to see it... but the short of it is:
Blog Control Panel > Global Blog Settings
http://SITE/index.php?zc=bcp;u=1833;sa=adminOnlyOptions
Default Settings for new blogs
currently selected, 4 of the user groups
click "check all"
All checkboxes are selected
click "Save"
page refreshes with only the foru check boxes selected again...
Looking in the database, none of the changes were recorded.
(I have previously gone into the database via myphpadmin and edited the value to include ALL groups, but that is not reflected in the checkboxes either)
The same thing happens in the individual blog control panel, for the specific blog permissions.

Yep, exact same thing here.

Hello, are you all deaf to me here? I can click on the Blog Button, but it sends me to my forum home, and I have nothing viewable in the Admin Panel for it...
@ ~Killer~ ... I have answered you twice... If what I suggested didn't work let me know.
@ Kindred and GQCritic ... weird... I just tested all that stuff as well, and it all works.
yup... I believed you when you said that you had tested it. :)
However, it appears to be something with our configuration.
I am running on a dedicated server... and I have several other mods, including ezportal installed...
As I said, I am willing to give you a temp admin account and FTP access to look into this if you would like.

Well I don't have time to do it right now, but we could try that in a couple hours or so when I have some time.

Charles, I did what you instructed and removed all of the zc edits from my index.php. Then I add the first part of the code that initializes the zc community.
When I added the 2nd part to load the blog, I keep getting a require error. I'm using smf 2b4 and I'm trying to get zC v0.7.9 running. This is the code that I'm trying to use in my index.php:
// entering the blogging community...
elseif (isset($modSettings['zc_mode']) && isset($zc['main_dir']) && empty($_REQUEST['action']) && (isset($_REQUEST['zc']) || !empty($_REQUEST['blog']) || !empty($_REQUEST['article'])))
{
return 'zC_START';
}
This give me the error, referring to this code. Is this what I should be using? I don't know anything about php programming, but I was playing around with the code and I was able to get the blog to load up, but then I had other problems, like I couldn't log off of the forum. Any suggestions?
There should be one other bit of code in the index.php above that.

Yes, I added that part first. It's when I add this last part that I start having problems.
Could you copy/paste that part of your index.php also?

That fixed it, Charles. I can't thank you enough for the great mod and the great support.
You're welcome :)
Well regarding my previous experience, that no-one helped me out with, zCommunity didn't work well with PortaMX, maybe you could fix that, PortaMX just overridden zCommunity.
Although now, I have enabled the Blogs, yet members still cannot access it... :'(

Have you assigned permissions to member groups via the Permissions page in your Blog Control Panel? About PortaMX... I will look at that to see what might be causing the incompatibility. Could just be that you've edited some files manually and now the package manager cannot find where to make the edits.
On a side note... it looks like there aren't any major bugs left... and relatively few minor bugs. Next version will be 0.8.0 Beta. Been cleaning up the code here and there, as well as adding some extra touches. Crusader, you will be pleased to know that I added the ability to set the content of custom windows as Normal text, Raw HTML, or PHP (provided the user has the necessary permissions). I added two permissions to go with this added feature (can use raw HTML in custom windows ... can use php in custom windows). :)
If anyone else has any things they would like added to the core of zCommunity, now would be a good time to mention your ideas :D
Can't wait for BETA now :D
And I tried it on a clean install of SMF, PortaMX and zCommunity, same issue...
Yes I have set the permissions, and they still can't access it :'(
Today i wanted to install the zCommunity 0.7.9, but now i will wait until 0.8beta is released. ;)
Wow,that will be a nice addition.Well,a thing that was mentioned before: put blocks/windows on left and/or right (and even things on footer or header...I'm thinking for example in the possibility to put custom windows with html on header to add a custom banner and stuff like that).
Also,It would be nice more options for user to customize the template.

Well remember that in allowing a user to use raw HTML you are opening up possible security issues. I will definitely be adding an option for "allowed HTML tags" in custom windows (and auto clean out risky html tags). Allowing just any user to use PHP in a custom window is definitely a bad idea... I could write up a sanitize-php function, but that would be quite complex to say the least.

Ummm...I'm really stumped on what I'm doing wrong. I reinstalled the entire forum on my site to try to fix this error, but my efforts were in vain. I'm getting this error when I try to click the "Blogs" tab.
Page request Error
The page you have requested does not exist.
What am I doing wrong? Or is this a bug?
Ok, I found a fix...of sorts...If I specify something else along with the URL, the main blog page will come up. For example, http://whatninja.com/index.php?zc will not work, however, http://whatninja.com/index.php?zc;theme=2 will work. Any suggestions on a real fix though? Please?
I just did a fresh install of smf 2.0 rc1 on another test site and the first mod I installed was zc 07.9. It installed without any errors, but when I clicked on the blogs menu option, I got the same message.
What I did was edit my subs.php file like this:
'zcommunity' => array(
'title' => !empty($txt['b1a']) ? $txt['b1a'] : 'Blogs',
'href' => $scripturl . '?zc
;theme=1', 'show' => !empty($context['zc']['show_zc_nav']),
'sub_buttons' => array(
),
),
This is on the default theme. I would imagine as long as you don't allow your users to change themes, this should work just fine. If you want to use another theme for your board, you would just change the number following "theme=. I hope this helps someone.
Interesting solution. I'll have to take the time one day to completely follow the logic of SMF 2 RC1's code...

I am fairly certain that these issues do not exist in 0.8.0 Beta... but I am only testing this on one configuration of PHP, so we'll just have to see.

I've been really sick for the past few days, so I haven't been able to get done as much as I would have liked. I have been making significant optimizations and improvements to the templates and the sources files. I can't give a release time on 0.8.0 Beta, but it shouldn't be much longer...
Hi charles , I have some little questions:
1. You can integrate the SMF 2.0 WYSIWYG with the zCommunity?? Is really simple and really I think of will be a nice feature
2. Maybe you should add something like the rate that topic feature or create a plug-in for rate articles
3. Will be pretty a search feature for blogs , I think of the SMF Search can`t find results in blogs
I'm using SMF 1.1.8, zCommunity 0.7.9alpha

Hi Charles,
I'm sorta like the person above....I'm using SMF 1.1.8 and when I try to install the zcommunity v0.7.9 as instructed to upload the files folder first before installing the install folder. I'm trying to upload via the package manager. I'm getting an error message saying the the package is not valid or has become corrupt.
Everyone else seems to be having luck, is it just me? Am I doing something wrong? Do I need to load the files folder manually via FTP to my server?
I have SMF 1.1.8 and I did a manual install with no problems. I do however have problems when I add a new member group, that member group can only see their own blogs they make, even if I set permissions for that member group to be able to view all blogs. I tried this same thing again on a clean install of 1.1.8 with only zcommunity on it, still when I make a new member group, that member group can only view their own blogs and nobody else's. Any suggestions?
Dianna,
You do not use the package manager to upload the files archive/folder... you do that via FTP or your cpanel file manager.
In my heavily modded Forum everything works fine, the import, the permissions, create new blogs, everything.
But i'm waiting until 0.8 is released, because i'm need the custom side blocks. ;)
And i have 1 question: where can i delete the News. I know where i can post nee News, but i don't see anything to delete News. Maybe i need glasses. :D :P

Kindred is correct. You have to upload the zCommunity folder from the larger of the two zip archives directly to your forum's main directory.

I tried this same thing again on a clean install of 1.1.8 with only zcommunity on it, still when I make a new member group, that member group can only view their own blogs and nobody else's. Any suggestions?
Each blog has its own list of groups that are allowed access. When you create a new member group in your forum (after creating a blog or blogs), that new member group is not added to all the blogs allowed groups lists. You'll have to add them manually. Can be kind of a pain........ but I am having trouble thinking of a way to easily add the new member group to all the blogs' allowed access lists... I'll keep it in mind until I figure out the best solution.

In my heavily modded Forum everything works fine, the import, the permissions, create new blogs, everything.
But i'm waiting until 0.8 is released, because i'm need the custom side blocks. ;)
And i have 1 question: where can i delete the News. I know where i can post nee News, but i don't see anything to delete News. Maybe i need glasses. :D :P
There should be a delete icon on the news article just like other blog articles. Mouse over the gear icon and it should be there.

Hi charles , I have some little questions:
1. You can integrate the SMF 2.0 WYSIWYG with the zCommunity?? Is really simple and really I think of will be a nice feature
2. Maybe you should add something like the rate that topic feature or create a plug-in for rate articles
3. Will be pretty a search feature for blogs , I think of the SMF Search can`t find results in blogs
1. I will look into it eventually.
2. This will be a plug-in
3. I will create a search feature from scratch eventually.
Oh, i'm sorry.
I use a custom template, and there weren't these buttons. ;)
Why not just have all member groups allowed to view all blogs, then make a field for "not allowed groups"? Also I'm having trouble with allowing these other member groups. I've already set the permissions for them and it still doesn't work - I go to create a new blog with a different member after doing this and the newly created member group can still only view their own blogs. Is this database work that needs to be done? If so what field do I add the member group ID to for it to be allowed?

Go to the Global Blog Settings tab in your control panel... Look for the section "Default Settings for New Blogs" .... you'll see the multi-check setting field for the groups all new blogs will allow access to by default. After you create a new member group, you have to save this setting again with the new member group checked, so that all new blogs will allow access to that member group. But like i was saying this is not retroactive to older blogs.
Thanks Kindred and Charles. I just realized that's what I was suppose to do. So, I just uploaded the _files folder to my root directory where my forum is located. I unzipped the folder and put the entire folder which included the zcommunity folder inside and the readme and license text. I went through the package manager to upload the install folder. It looks like it installs okay except I'm getting an error message that says
"Could not locate the necessary zCommunity files. Database edits failed!"
I was able to edit a couple files to ensure all my custom usergroups would be able to view the new and old blogs, yay!
On the blogs settings, how can I remove the articles and comments, and social bookmarking options from displaying? Also the save button for changing the ownership of a blog (the save button displays for everyone I noticed)
I'm almost finished with what I'm working on and I've been making the user interface alot more intuitive as my site's targeted to primarily kids (which meant removing alot of options). if anyone would like to see the end result let me know and I'll post images.
Hi, I don't have the time to sift 64 pages so I'll just post my problem. If the answer is posted, please just post a link to the answer instead of biting my head off.
I've used the parser on the mod page to manually edit my custom theme's index.template.php . For some reason the "blogs" link does not appear. I've attached a screen shot.
Any help is much appreciated.

I'm using english because 90% of the mods don't have proper language files for utf-8 and it's annoying making them myself. I'll attach my index.template.php .
hmmm.... the code looks right. The only other thing I can think of. Does your custom theme have a modifications.english.php in it?
I also got error message after installing zCommunity. My SMF version is 1.1.8. I upload first the _files file at my FTP and extract it in my cPanel. Have I done it right?

Nope, only ThemeStrings.english.php and english/french files for smg. I do really want to sort this out. If anyone thinks they can fix it, I'll hook you up with an admin account and ftp access.

Try to run the install_db_edits.php file directly from your forum's main folder. Upload it to your forum's root directory and then access it directly with your browser.

Well zCommunity has its own language file system... So even if you don't have a lang file for your language, it'll default to english (which is included with zCommunity). I'm assuming the Blogs menu tab shows up for your default theme? If not you should check to make sure the edits were made properly to your forum's index.php file. If it does show up for the default theme then would you mind copy/pasting a large chunk of your custom theme's index.template.php so that I can see what the problem might be?

I had the thought the other day to make zCommunity almost infinitely flexible in that you can allow all the options possible, just ones you need, or almost none. I've been overhauling a lot of things from 0.7.9 to 0.8.0, so it should be a lot easier to accomplish this.

I think this error has something to do at PHPMy admin database. I hope somebody will help me figure it out.
Resolved this myself.
Change all the character settings of all smf_blog_ tables at PHPMyAdmin from utf8_unicode_ci to utf8_general_ci. Obviously was a lot of work but everything's running correctly now and I can able to view the control panel of vCommunity.
I would like to ask one more help. How can I add a tab at the main menu bar so that users can click and access the Blog community right away?
QuoteI would like to ask one more help. How can I add a tab at the main menu bar so that users can click and access the Blog community right away?
The answer to this questions may be a workaround suitable for my problem as well.
My theme is Blackberry. I added this code at index.template.php and somehow adds a tab button lined up with the menu bars.
Don't know if it will work with the other templates. But for my site, this is good for the meantime.
// Show the [blog] button.
echo '<li><a' , $current_action=='blog' ? ' class="current"' : '' , ' href="', $scripturl, '?zc"><span>' , $txt['b1a'] , '</span></a></li>';
I added this before // Show the [help] button.

@ abbyh ... Thank you for sharing your solution with us (for the utf-8 problem you were experiencing)
One thing...will the template system change very much in 0.80beta?? I mean..If I make a custom template for 0.79alfa,will it work with the next version?. Just for wait until it's released or start working now.
Thanks.

The template system is remaining the same... the templates are changing a lot though... For example, I made a generic list template function which will now be used to display ALL of the lists in zCommunity. Also, I made a generic form template which is used for almost all the forms. The template_zc_sandwich functions have been changed slightly and are used in a lot more places.

The attached screen shot is what happens when I use that code.
Additional issues:
Visual:
-The Blog Control Panel does not look like a link and i doubt my users would clue in. I would like to make it underlined and diff color. (see attached screen shot)
-The "blogs" button is messed up (see prev post)
Major Malfunction: Any time a new article or comment is posted, the user (regardless of member group) gets an error saying the title can't be blank or the comment can't be blank, after retyping the blog/comment it then works.
I also have several of this error in the forum error log:

@LinK187: Quick question on your menu problem. Are you using SMF 2.0? If so, then you need to modify the "Subs.php" to add on to the menu up at the top for your theme.
As far as the issue with not knowing a link from another link: ...I can guarantee you that unless your users are stupid (god hopes that they're not), they'll move their mouse over where it says "Blog Control Panel". It will clearly be a link when their cursor changes form an arrow to the hand (or whatever else their mouse might change into). You can go into the source code and customize the link yourself pretty easily, if you want it to be underlined and a different color.

Clearly you don't administrate any public sites. I had to stare and scavenge for it and I'm the admin. 90% of my users will be oblivious. I just want to know what value to change and in which file to look for it.

It's a hybrid of multiple themes. I can attach a zip or rar of the theme folder if you need it.
Yes, then. give me access to the theme so that I can make it work for you.
I will post a rar of the folder and you can post the modifications required. That way I know what has been done and how to modify in the future if need be. Will upload soon, just need to finish a few other things first.
Attached is the theme folder. I've pmed you the pw to unrar it.
Open up your index.template.php file in your LondonBass theme.
// Show the [home] button.
echo ($current_action=='home' || $context['browser']['is_ie4']) ? '<td class="maintab_active_' . $first . '"> </td>' : '' , '
<td align="center" valign="top" class="maintab_' , $current_action == 'home' ? 'active_back' : 'back' , '">
<a href="', $scripturl, '">' , $txt[103] , '</a>
</td>' , $current_action == 'home' ? '<td class="maintab_active_' . $last . '"> </td>' : '';

<a href="', $scripturl, '?zc">' , $txt['b1a'] , '</a>
</td>' , $current_action == 'blog' ? '<td class="maintab_active_' . $last . '"> </td>' : '';
Just to let you know, whenever you're dealing with a custom theme, you can usually handle the buttons by looking at how the other buttons are created. Some themes do this much differently than others, so you want to really pay attention.
If you want to see it functioning, you can click here (http://www.realmhost.com/test2/index.php) and you can see it with your theme. The only errors I got were from mods I didn't install that you have installed (like mgallery and yshout). Everything else was good.

As far as changing the link so that it shows underlined and somehow more obvious:
Open up the "style.css" file in your LondonBass theme folder.
Go to the very end of the file, and add the following:
#bcpnotice
{
color: red;
text-decoration: underline;
font-size: 15px;
}
Save and upload the file.
Go into the zCommunity folder on your server.
Go into the Languages folder.
Open the "index.english.php" file.
$txt['b3002'] = 'Blog Control Panel';
$txt['b3002'] = '<div id="bcpnotice">Blog Control Panel</div>';
Easy peasy. If you've modded the rest of the theme yourself, this should have been a breeze for you. If there's a specific way that you want to show the BCP a little better, lemme know, and I'll make up some CSS code for you.

The error with posting is because you have register_globals ON... The problem does not occur if register_globals is OFF. I changed things a bit for 0.8.0 Beta so this shouldn't matter... but you should always turn register_globals OFF anyways, just for security reasons.

register_globals is a PHP setting that you have to change with your server.
This problem is the same as me. I'm also waiting foe the answer.

Well I changed the way I use $_SESSION so that it won't be a multi-dimensional array. Hopefully it'll work perfectly for everyone. This change is in 0.8.0 Beta which is not available yet.

Perhaps telling us how to turn off register_globals might be more useful in the meantime. Can this be done in a .htaccess file? via cpanel? If you know the source of the problem, you must know how to perform the solution as well.
add the following to your .htaccess file:
php_flag register_globals off

Thx! Everything works fine now, that I can see. One question tho, what is the "tags" space for when one is composing an article?
Tags are just a way of organizing articles. In 0.8.0 I took it a step further and added Related Articles which uses the tags in an article to find other articles with the same tags.

So it's just a meta thing then?
No.... think of tags as categories for articles. If you enable the tags window on a blog (or on the community page), and there are tags in use, you'll see a list of all the tags as links. When you click one of those links it'll take you to a page with a list of articles that use that tag.
I am using SMF 2.0 RC1 and would so much like to user the blogs.
Are there any sites that users would list that I can go and see
their site in operation besides the test site.
Actually the Alpha version scares me in screwing up my site!
I am using the alpha version on www.40konline.com/community
Hi Charles - You are (or will be) a Legend
This software rocks man - just put it into an already heavily modded 2.0 RC1 install and it went in clean as a whistle - no errors and no problems.
See it here - post announcing the arrival to our members (http://www.buildaskill.com/board/index.php?article=1.0)
Thanks - really love this and I know our members will too.
Found one thing which I'm not sure if it's a bug or a feature - when setting up my own blog and doing the "in-blog" group permissions, I tried to make my blog visible to all groups, but every time I did so and saved it, it would refresh with only the groups I am a member of showing as enabled.
Can you shed some light on that? It's got me well confused.
Keep up the GREAT work on this
Gaz
Ya some people have had issues with saving in some areas of zCommunity with the alpha versions. I have done extensive testing and work since 0.7.9, though... hopefully you won't have the same problems with 0.8.0 Beta. It's not ready yet sorry :(
No problems - just wasn't sure if it was me needing stronger specs - I love this more the more I play with it.
Just wondering too (not an immediate worry) any chance the post editor can be brought up to the same version as the embedded one in 2.0 RC1? I really like the new WYSIWYG functionality.

Hi Charles - have been doing some digging on the global blog permissions not saving
What I now notice is that the global permissions group table is only for new blogs created after saving the new settings - it would therefore appear that the settings for old defaults are overwriting or over-riding the new settings, and that the old defaults appear to be getting picked up from the group membership of the admin logged in to do the install - this then means the system only recognises that admins groups and all others are ignored (including guest, which an admin cannot be a member of)
The same seems to be true in user's personal blog permission settings - with a test user that has different group memberships to my admin, when the test user creates a blog, the default group permissions are for the groups that the test user is a member of.
a few pages back in the thread, someone mentioned that the default table should have all groups enabled as default and the admin/user should then select which ones they want to deny permissions for. I think this would be a far better solution too, and would remove a level of tech savviness needed by inexperienced users - I'm all for simplification when it comes to not giving users a reason to not play.
The other thing I noticed in testing and watching the database permissions table -> global permissions -> default allowed groups is that -
- if only a few groups, or all groups manually checked, are saved, the data field has a three-value array ( 2,0,0 )
- if the select all checkbox is used, that data array drops to two values ( 2,0 )
(they don't have brackets in the database - just added them here for clarity)
Is this indicative of anything regarding the save error?
Thanks
Gaz
Charles - I've enabled all registered users in all groups to be able to comment on all blogs ...
... but there is no comment form amd no link to a comment form. I cannot find anywhere for a user to add a comment to a blog article.
How is it done?
Gaz
------------------------
:o edit - OK, found it, and think this has to be logged as a bug
In the individual blog control panel -> Blog Settings -> Articles & Comments -> "Display comments to articles on the main blog page"
- If this is unchecked, then the comments link does not appear on the article (on the home page nor on the single article page) and there is no way to add comments.
- If this is checked, then the comment count and the link to "write comment" appears at both levels (home page and individual article), but then so do the comments, which could lead to HUGE lengthy home pages that could severely tax server resources on busy sites.
There is no setting in Global Settings to stop comments appearing on blog home pages, and the incorrectly titled checkbox in local-blog settings turns them off completely, which I think could be a misplaced function from the preceding "Hide comments entirely" checkbox.
Could you look into this and advise please.
Many thanks
Gaz
Gaz, I don't have any of the problems you have. It's likely not to do with the coding but something with your host.

In the blog control panel.. in the Admin-only blog options sub menu... "Hide blog boards on the board index"
I cant find it...
@jkrlvgn: Since you helped me with that button thing, would you also be able to help me with one more thing about the same button?
The problem is, it doesn't actually press down (visually) like the other buttons. See the following screenies:

Ummm...I'm really stumped on what I'm doing wrong. I reinstalled the entire forum on my site to try to fix this error, but my efforts were in vain. I'm getting this error when I try to click the "Blogs" tab.
Page request Error
The page you have requested does not exist.
What am I doing wrong? Or is this a bug?
Ok, I found a fix...of sorts...If I specify something else along with the URL, the main blog page will come up. For example, http://whatninja.com/index.php?zc will not work, however, http://whatninja.com/index.php?zc;theme=2 will work. Any suggestions on a real fix though? Please?
I just did a fresh install of smf 2.0 rc1 on another test site and the first mod I installed was zc 07.9. It installed without any errors, but when I clicked on the blogs menu option, I got the same message.
What I did was edit my subs.php file like this:
'zcommunity' => array(
'title' => !empty($txt['b1a']) ? $txt['b1a'] : 'Blogs',
'href' => $scripturl . '?zc;theme=1',
'show' => !empty($context['zc']['show_zc_nav']),
'sub_buttons' => array(
),
),
This is on the default theme. I would imagine as long as you don't allow your users to change themes, this should work just fine. If you want to use another theme for your board, you would just change the number following "theme=. I hope this helps someone.
Thank you!!! This was driving me nuts.
If you want this to work on any theme, just don't specify a number ;)
'zcommunity' => array(
'title' => !empty($txt['b1a']) ? $txt['b1a'] : 'Blogs',
'href' => $scripturl . '?zc;theme',
'show' => !empty($context['zc']['show_zc_nav']),
'sub_buttons' => array(
),
),
Only downside is that some of the buttons won't look right like "go to top" in the blogs or the menu in the control panel. But there is a remedy for that :)
And like some others, I'm also having trouble with getting the permission settings to save properly in global blog settings and access restrictions. Also the "more options" link on polls isn't working.
I have pages of this error and don't know why.

It's not always the mgallery.english.php so I've concluded there's nothing wrong with the mod seeing as the errors began when zcommunity was installed.
The other file that list this problem is:
QuoteFile: /home/gordonj/public_html/londonbass/forum/Themes/default/languages/Modifications.english.php (eval?)
Some how it's also having a problem at line 544. Regardless the error seems to occur any time anyone clicks on anything in the blog section.
What does it mean?
I want to install this on a custom theme, but i have trouble editing the index.template.php because i can't find where to put some edits.
Could someone change the index.template.php as this Blog requires?
Here it is:

contains the main template layer that displays the header and footer of
the forum, namely with main_above and main_below. It also contains the
menu sub template, which appropriately displays the menu; the init sub
template, which is there to set the theme up; (init can be missing.) and
the linktree sub template, which sorts out the link tree.
The init sub template should load any data and set any hardcoded options.
The main_above sub template is what is shown above the main content, and
should contain anything that should be shown up there.
The main_below sub template, conversely, is shown after the main content.
It should probably contain the copyright statement and some other things.
The linktree sub template should display the link tree, using the data
in the $context['linktree'] variable.
The menu sub template should display all the relevant buttons the user
wants and or needs.

How can I remove the second "save" button that displays for everyone on the blog edit page? Some of my members click the wrong save button and lose all of their work...

I think I saw Charles say somewhere that the duplicate save button is for the plug-ins, but he's working on setting it up so that the button won't show if no plug-ins are installed.

Perhaps just a visual discrimination would be better.
The save button does have a purpose, but only to those that can change the ownership of blogs. For some reason the save button shows up even when a person doesn't have the option to change ownership.
No that extra Save button at the bottom of the Blog Settings page is for plugin settings for blogs (which you have none right now because you have no plugins). The bug is that it shouldn't show up at all if you have no blog by blog settings for plugins. I fixed it for 0.8.0 Beta.

Ah he speaks! Fancy checking this post out? http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=244848.msg1966506#msg1966506
That's just a missing variable. Should be boolean (true/false) for whether or not to show the # of database queries and load time for the current page at the bottom. Look in index.template.php for the theme you're using in zCommunity. The variable itself should be set in zc.php somewhere.
If i send you my index.template.php would you be able to point it out for me and advise what lines to add to zc.php and where?
Could you guys help me? I can't find where to put some of the adjustments for my Custom theme:
<?php
// Version: 1.1; index
/* This template is, perhaps, the most important template in the theme. It
contains the main template layer that displays the header and footer of
the forum, namely with main_above and main_below. It also contains the
menu sub template, which appropriately displays the menu; the init sub
template, which is there to set the theme up; (init can be missing.) and
the linktree sub template, which sorts out the link tree.
The init sub template should load any data and set any hardcoded options.
The main_above sub template is what is shown above the main content, and
should contain anything that should be shown up there.
The main_below sub template, conversely, is shown after the main content.
It should probably contain the copyright statement and some other things.
The linktree sub template should display the link tree, using the data
in the $context['linktree'] variable.
The menu sub template should display all the relevant buttons the user
wants and or needs.
For more information on the templating system, please see the site at:

Is there a quick fix so I can just delete the not-needed save button? I've already done alot of modifications to the theme of zcommunity and I don't think an update to 8.0 will do me any good.
That's the exact same bug i reported a while ago Gaz. =O) It's bound to be fixed when several people report it! Read that Charles? lol ;)
Anyways, i wanna mention something that has been bugging me for a while. As you can see on this page (http://www.buildaskill.com/board/index.php?article=1.0) for example, all actual article- and comment-areas have a scroll-bar to their right which only scrolls ONE pixel. It is quite disturbing to have there since it just takes up space and makes things look a lot less clean. Is there a fix to this??? I think i only noticed this in the Clean theme...
Forgive me for asking a stupid question, but how do I set global categories and/or tags? I've looked all over the place in the Blog Control Panel, but I'm not seeing an option for it. I want to make it so that there is a set list of tags and categories that will show up in every single blog. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Uh, but what's the point of having blogs that all share the same tag(s)? Simply viewing the main community page already shows all blogs in your community. Why have tags that link to all of them at the same time? That's not what tags are for i think.

Because that's what I want. :) If that's not possible, I still want the same for categories, and I cannot for the life of me figure out how to set global categories.
What you want is what you want :)
You cannot set global categories...... yet... I'll keep it in mind... I have bigger fish to fry at the moment though.

Ah, okay then. It'd be a nice additional option for whenever the next update comes along. :) Keep up the great work.
I think i found a "typo" in 0.7.7. The window that pops up when you click on Subscribe while viewing an article says "Are you sure you wish to enable notification of new articles for this blog?". Shouldn't it be "...of new comments for this article?" ? I don't really see the point of actually subscribing to comments at all, but the URL while hovering the Subscribe-link while viewing a blog and while viewing an article differs, which is why i presume that they have different functions:
Blogs: [root]/index.php?zc=notify;sa=on;blog=6.0;sesc=123;from=blog,6,0
"Are you sure you wish to enable notification of new articles for this blog?"
Articles: [root]/index.php?zc=notify;sa=on;blog=6.0;sesc=123;from=article,12,0
"Are you sure you wish to enable notification of new articles for this blog?"
The Subscribe link in the Options window (or just below the link tree when no windows are being displayed) is the subscribe link for the blog you're viewing ... The subscribe link for articles is the little globe icon that becomes visible when you hover over the gear icon on an article. The from=article,12,0 or from=blog,6,0 parts of the URLs are for redirecting you back to the page that you came from originally when you clicked it.
Ooooh, i see. Hehe, keeping my eyes out for no good here, lol. ;) Thanks for explaining, Charles!
0.8.0 Beta now available :)
Hello, I just install this MOD on RC1 as per the instructions, uploaded the zCommunity folder to my root directory and then uploaded zCommunity_0_8_0_beta__smf_install via the Package Manager.
When I click "Apply Mod" I don't get any test failed, then I click "Install Now" and I get this message...
"Database updated successfully!
Click here to view your control panel"
Then I click "Click here to view your control panel" and it takes me back to Board Index page and nothing happens.
Then when I go back to the Package Manager it gives me the option to Apply the Mod again as if it was not installed?
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.
Wonderful mod features...I have hit a few bumps in the road as follows:
1 - I have no blog link in admin [see missing_admin_text.JPG] I'm an idiot I didnt even realize it had its own section...i was used to blog community...any idea how to get rid of that space where the blog community text used to be in admin?
2 - I have areas showing misaligned [see misalignment_in_cp.JPG]
3 - The layout in some areas of blog admin are funny [ see pics funny1, 2 and 3]
4 - I cannot for the life of me find how to edit my posts?

0.8.0 Beta now available :)
It appears I would have loaded this zcommunity as you were posting the updated version....
in order to switch from 0.7.9 to 0.8.0 will i have to uninstall all over again and reinstall?
and if so does this mean I have to remove the zip files that ended in '_files.zip' manually again and add them again?
thanks :)

Edit: I have edited index.php, Subs/php, Who.php, Index.template.php
No one line added by the package. Somtehing is wrong with the install script but I don't find what.
Same here ;)
Has anyone tried the manual install?
No, manual install should work by I prefer waiting a fixed version. I have checked all files in the Install package, tried my package parser, I don't find an error.
Aaaww.. =( I who was so happy for Charles with the release of B8! There's always something bugging that guy, literally, lol. Take your time Charles! We're not going anywhere. =O)
I tested this on blank SMF 1.1.8 and blank SMF RC1... If you are having problems could you please post your PHP version as well as SMF version?
My problem above...Is on a fresh install of SMF RC1 / PHP 5.2.8 trying to install zCommunity 0.8.0
http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=244848.msg1979083#msg1979083
SMF 2.0 RC1
PHP version 5.2.8
MySQL version 5.0.67-community
Just FYI, 0.7.9 installed perfectly and uninstalled perfectly.
Hope this helps!
same problem here
Blank 1.1.8 and 2.0 rc1
php 5.2.4
mysql 5.0.67
Same Problem
Smf 1.1.8 with toon of Mods,
PHP version 5.2.8
Phpinfo http://195.144.11.40/phpinfo.php
i have the same problem
i dont know what version my php is.
i am using smf 2.0 rc1
Same exact problem here also. I just installed on my test 1.1.8 local machine.
I just checked the 4 files that the package installer states that are going to be modified. They have not been touched. If you go back to "Browse packages", zc is still not listed as installed.
While you're at it Charles, i'd like to ask you something. I have zC on a separate page, as in; i don't have any buttons or anything on my forum that links to the zC page. And when i log in and out on the zC page i get referred to the forum. Is this something you can change or should i change it myself? Because i remember that there have been folks who have asked you if they could use zC separately, and using zC without a button linking to it in a forum could be a first step, but then the zC page can't send users to the forum when they log in and out.
So I think I figured out what the cause for the installing issues was... Though I didn't have the same problems any of you did. Also I found a couple minor things that I will fix. I'll probably have that ready by this evening...
@ robinrobin ... I have been working on making zCommunity be able to stand by itself without SMF, but also be able to integrate with both SMF 1.1.x and SMF 2.0... There isn't much left for me to do for that to happen. When I convert degreesofzero.com to zCommunity only on the main domain with SMF on a sub domain as a support forum, you'll know it won't be long.

Looks like it.
Hi (is my first post here!)
I have two questions:
1) can a zCommunity's blog have multiple authors/admins like blogger or wordpress?
I really need something like that, because I plan to move my blogger's blogs to zC in the future, and I'm not the only author in none of them.
2) can the visitors make comments in the blogs? (sorry if the question was answered... 69 pages are too much and y didn't install any versions yet).
An advice: there's a problem with WP/SMF integration; a WP admin can change the password of any user of SMF, and I think this is an enormous security problem. Try not to make the same mistake with your future integretion zC/SMF...
bye.
Sorry I won't have time to get it done this evening.
@ macphisto ... Yea there is pretty much unlimited flexibility in what you can do with blogs in zCommunity. Ya you can make comments.
0.8.1 Beta has installation fix and a couple other minor bug fixes.
I have a question Charles, since I manually added the 0.8.0 what is going to happen when I try to install 0.8.1?
Should I edit them out before trying or will it correct itself?
Thanks
TommyJoe
Edit, I just deleted the 0.80 package, removed the zCommunity directory, Install the NEW zCommunity directory,
uploaded the package. It worked perfect.
Good Job Charles.

The 8.1 version installed clean.
Only problem I see is that when I try to delete an article I get a blank page 500 internal error.
And in the error log I get these..

Line: 535
Charles, is it now possible to add any custom php or html side window?
Here's a strange one.
My problem is my zCommunity directory. I uploaded the latest zc folder and now when I go to my forum, I get a "Hacking attempt" page. If I rename it, I'm able to bring up my smf install. Then I named it back and refreshed the page and I got the same hacking attempt message. again. As long as it's renamed, all is well. As long as there's a zc folder, I get the error. This has never happened before with other versions of zc.
Any thoughts?
Yay! Many Thanks Charles. :) Congrats on getting the Beta out. :D
Anyhoo I encountered this error when I added a photo (via the insert html location ) to my profile. And clicked the author name (me) on the main community (blogs) page.
Fatal error: Call to undefined function: zc_plugin_slot() in /home/blath1/public_html/blath/bbs/zCommunity/Sources/Who.php on line 217
And when author (me) is clicked 'inside' a blog article. I get this error.
Table 'blath1_smf1.smf_blog_blog_blogs' doesn't exist
File: /home/blath1/public_html/blath/bbs/Sources/Who.php
Line: 434
When I removed the photo it worked normally ie showed the profile (no picture) no error. :) - I'm not really worried about the picture. Just an FYI :)
Though when I removed the photo to test the 'in article author click' I got the first error line 217 above. But it went to normal when I reloaded (it seemed to go for an older cache page I guess).
I'm running 1.18
PHP version: 4.4.9
and zCommunity 8.1 beta
Don't forget to rest, relax, & sleep.

Found another one. This one is odd and more weird FYI regarding the general SMF "who is online" function.
I can't seem to replicate it.
It just occurred after I gave guests, who had by default ability to view a blog, the ability to view the "community". I'm just saying this as I'm not even sure that's the problem as I originally thought it was a sudden problem with the 'Ad Management' mod (smfads ver 2.3 by Jerm ). (but right now it's back to happily working as it was / it wasn't having problems before I just thought it might of been the cause when trying to fix the error)
The error seemed to be fixed after I logged out and than logged back in.
This is what the error looked like when I tried to access the "who's online function" via either clicking the icon or the ' # of guest, # users online'.
Table 'blath1_smf1.smf_blog_blog_articles' doesn't exist
File: /home/blath1/public_html/blath/bbs/Sources/Who.php

.. I just tried to replicate the problem thinking it might be after I adjust the community viewing settings and got this..
Fatal error: Call to undefined function: zc_plugin_slot() in /home/blath1/public_html/blath/bbs/zCommunity/Sources/Who.php on line 217
(though to be honest I was hoping to recreate the 407 error) :(
uh oh I can't seem to shake this error now. Maybe it will go away when everyone's off my system. I just have to wait..
hmm I can access who is online via admin, even when people are on and ad management is running. (so most likely not smfads )..
now I can access it normally. No 217 error. :D heh I'm not going to try to replicate that again. :D It was probably a cache problem perhaps in terms of resetting it. :D
This one is just a weird FYI. For those wanting to try to replicate it.. I seem to have luck when modifying the community viewing settings (viewing settings work by the way so no worries on that) than trying a 'who is online'.

Hello, I just install this MOD on RC1 as per the instructions, uploaded the zCommunity folder to my root directory and then uploaded zCommunity_0_8_0_beta__smf_install via the Package Manager.
When I click "Apply Mod" I don't get any test failed, then I click "Install Now" and I get this message...
"Database updated successfully!
Click here to view your control panel"
Then I click "Click here to view your control panel" and it takes me back to Board Index page and nothing happens.
Then when I go back to the Package Manager it gives me the option to Apply the Mod again as if it was not installed? (didn't happen to me)
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.
Actually, this happened with 0.8.1

Here's a strange one.
My problem is my zCommunity directory. I uploaded the latest zc folder and now when I go to my forum, I get a "Hacking attempt" page. If I rename it, I'm able to bring up my smf install. Then I named it back and refreshed the page and I got the same hacking attempt message. again. As long as it's renamed, all is well. As long as there's a zc folder, I get the error. This has never happened before with other versions of zc.
Any thoughts?
You sure you updated everything (edits to SMF files / completely delete old zCommunity folder and replace with new) ?

Is there a guide somewhere on installing to a custom themed forum (mine is SMF Grunge)?

4 - Please tell me which file I need to edit to be able to edit the Edit/Delete buttons on each article. Right now they are not showing at all and also the icons to the social bookmarking sites...if you mouse over certain areas the alt text shows but you CANNOT see the the actual place to click you kinda have to hover your mouse to search blind to find it.
anyone have any advice for these issues above?

@ NenaGb ... it sounds like the edits were not undone to your SMF's index.template.php file(s) and the new edits were not installed properly. Check the index.template.php file(s) for your SMF's theme(s)

No real issues yet with 0.8.1 Beta... other than edits not being undone / redone properly via the package manager.
I am estimating 4 weeks until a completely stand-alone version of zCommunity (which would still be beta) ... probably still a ways after that for a final release... but the Beta versions from here on out should be fairly stable.

Hiya, :)
Encountered an odd error. I wouldn't call it a high priority as a simple work around is just a quick explanation on my part kind of thing.
In the blog articles a single backslash \ gets repeated, so it looks like this \\ after I save. It also will double \\ even when I put the single \ in a code or quote bracket.
http://blath.com/bbs/index.php?article=11.0
Fortunately the rest of the system doesn't suffer from it. I had to check as I realized that I probably never typed \ in a message yet. :)
http://blath.com/bbs/index.php?topic=425.0
Anyway something for the wack a mole list, Though no rush as I prefer you to rest and target any more serious ones that people are facing. :)
Enjoy the Spring Season Charles, :)

I lost my navigation and portal index - seems the DB update does not work as desired.

Not entirely sure... Can get unpredictable styling problems if you have a number of css style sheets for each page (which is the case when displaying zCommunity within your forum's templates). You'll have to figure out where the conflicts are occurring with your forum's themes.

I would recommend manually uninstalling and then installing the new version if you don't want any issues. The package manager is iffy. Running install_db_edits.php (after you've updated the zCommunity folder/files) will handle all the db changes for you. And you will not lose any data.

I assume you mean the navigation menus in the control panel area? That css is located in zCommunity/Themes/default/css/zc_basics.css
Also there is some additional css for those menus in each zCommunity themes' css folder in style.css

What makes you think it's the db updates that didn't work? Most likely you had problems with modifying your SMF files. I recommend doing it manually instead of using the package manager if you have other mods installed (particularly portal mods).
ahhh...was trying to make manual edits and thought i had copy of my index.php but apparently I dont because now im having this issue:

You can rename index.ph~ to index.php. I was just looking at your server and it is only 5 days old. It should take you back to before you made any edits within that time frame.
However, you'll have to redo the edits we spoke of yesterday to fix the default theme again...

EDIT: Sorry, it is "index.php~". The files with the "~" at the end are backup that were made via Forum Maintenance options. You can use those to revert back.

this may be true but the mod page for the old blog...blog community is no longer available or at least it only takes me to the zcommunity mod which was not what we were trying to uninstall which was the old blog mod BlogCommunity :)
Ok im not sure what the heck happened but I tried to manually uninstall the last version before 0.8.1 but the old versions disappear and are replaced but the current version only so I do not know what I need to change with my index.php
I have attached it because now I cannot even access my blog at www.corsotalk.com you can visit and see that it takes me to the forum http://corsotalk.com/index.php?action=zc
*** edited:
also have attached the index.template.php because it was suggested someone would need to see this too...both my admin panel and regular blog link both direct me to the forum main page.
I already have this installed and I like the newest version alot more than what I have. Is there a way to upgrade without deleting all the articles and blogs already in the database??? ???

You might have more that you need to remove if you have uninstalled/installed more than once. The package manager is iffy. Should always double check to make sure the edits were made properly.

You won't lose the data in your database. Though if you're using Blog Community (not zCommunity) you'll have to import your old blogs using the SMF boards importer in the Global Settings tab of the control panel.

Ok im not sure what the heck happened but I tried to manually uninstall the last version before 0.8.1 but the old versions disappear and are replaced but the current version only so I do not know what I need to change with my index.php
I have attached it because now I cannot even access my blog at www.corsotalk.com you can visit and see that it takes me to the forum http://corsotalk.com/index.php?action=zc
*** edited:
also have attached the index.template.php because it was suggested someone would need to see this too...both my admin panel and regular blog link both direct me to the forum main page.
That index.php doesn't have any code for zCommunity in it. Look at the other_1_1_x.xml file from the zCommunity_0_8_1_beta__smf_install.zip package. It tells you what and where to add code to your forum's index.php
each time i make those changes to the index.php i get this error:
Fatal error: Cannot redeclare smf_main() (previously declared in /home/anypupco/public_html/a-corsotalk/index.php:165) in /home/anypupco/public_html/a-corsotalk/index.php on line 507
i put it in exactly as it instructs and that is what happens?
Hello,
I have only one problem with permissions:
I use Community mode. When I go in access restrictions or posting restrictions, permissions box stay unchecked after I submit. Exactly same issue posted by Kindred: http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=244848.msg1929019#msg1929019
Smf 1.1.8 & TP 0.9.8

That is telling me you have it in there more than once. It's happened to me a few times with mods not uninstalling properly. Just go through and check for more than one instance of similar code.
Than I am a complete idiot because i cannot find it and there is not even a line 501 on my index.php
im lost! someone ... anyone please help. here is the code

/* This, as you have probably guessed, is the crux on which SMF functions.
Everything should start here, so all the setup and security is done
properly. The most interesting part of this file is the action array in
the smf_main() function. It is formatted as so:
'action-in-url' => array('Source-File.php', 'FunctionToCall'),
Then, you can access the FunctionToCall() function from Source-File.php
with the URL index.php?action=action-in-url. Relatively simple, no?

That index.php doesn't have any code for zCommunity in it. Look at the other_1_1_x.xml file from the zCommunity_0_8_1_beta__smf_install.zip package. It tells you what and where to add code to your forum's index.php
and also Charles said there was no code on there to have a duplicate, all i tried to do was add the index.php code as described on the manual install...i must be hitting the crack pipe because none of this makes sense to me...ahhh
I tried to put it in again after i updated something else on that page and i got the same error message but this time with the line number being 292 [which has this: } elseif (empty($_REQUEST['action']))
on that line....
hah ok i had a glitch with my version, at the top it had 1.1.7 info and i changed some things to 1.1.8 and it then allowed me to uninstall so i did, then i upgraded my version of zcommunity....now i have a few questions because it looks so much different than my last version..
should it look like these screen shots? no background, bullets next to strangely aligned options, and on the far left in my user info box under show latest comments there seems to be missing text? and there is no cp controls on the left when i am in blog admin either like there was previously in the other version.
and where do i control the tp blocks? in the last version of zcommunity it was different and didnt show any of my tp blocks which is what i prefer...
suggestions?

there are lots more...i can give log in info to qualified smf member that can help so that you can see the full error log...it seems to have everything to do with lots of the 8: Undefined index: says stuff like current_time, allow_pm, allow_calendar, allow_admin ... etc. if that helps at all.
Very very strange. This morning, all section in the forum was linked to the zcommunity :o
I have all removed for repairing.
Besides the major problem of guests not being able to view the blog despite the permissions looking to be set correctly......
The whole SMF forum is taken over by some parasite. The SMF forum disappears and is not visible. i.e. the blog becomes the whole forum!
Not good...
Thanks,
Joe
Forgive me if i have missed it but any idea when this will be out of beta? No matter how many times i try to install these [either version] I am swarmed with error after error and while I was really looking forward to a blog community for my forum I am past discouraged now even trying to install it on a fresh test site and still getting mounds of errors and missing buttons, and misalignments.
I look forward to when there is a stable functioning version but until then this has cause me more frustration than any other mod i have tried to date and i have been using smf for a few years now and tried tons of mods.
You all must have a ton of other mods installed that are causing problems, because I've tested this on blank SMF 2.0 RC1 and SMF 1.1.8 and have no problems.

I have tried it on a fresh copy as well...not as many errors but enough to make me uninstall it.
I have this installed on a fairly heavily modded forum (RC1) with no problems... so I don't know what's going on with all of you folks. :(
QuoteI would recommend manually uninstalling and then installing the new version if you don't want any issues. The package manager is iffy. Running install_db_edits.php (after you've updated the zCommunity folder/files) will handle all the db changes for you. And you will not lose any data.
How do you propose a manual uninstall if the 0.7.9 download is no longer on the mod page in order for me to parse?

You should have a copy of the mod package on your server (look in the Packages directory).
Does anyone know how to attach a file/image when writing an article in a blog?
As far as I know there's only html tag like (//) to attach an image and this is unfamiliar for user without having knowledge on html.
Is there any other facilities to do attachment when writing an article? For example, attachment function in the forum by browsing the file and attaching it.
Thanks in advance.

How does this help? The package manger only shows what files are added/modified, not the exact lines of code...
The Package Manager and the Packages directory (/Packages) are not the same thing. If you look in /Packages on your server you'll find the package you've uploaded and can find the code to modify in it. If it is not there, look in /Packages/backups. Everything you have ever installed has a backup of it in there, unless you've deleted them.

You'll need to be more specific. I've never used those files for such a purpose. Which file(s) will display the modifications?
the package that you downloaded from smf and uploaded to your server....
Also, in the package manager, you can VIEW the files in the package. Look for the two XML files in the package. One tells you what files from the mod to use for what version, the other tells you what changes were made in each of the smf source and template files.
To further help, you can use the built-in parser on the download page of every mod as seen in the image below.

I use this parser for every mod. The 0.7.9 download is no longer there; I cannot parse it with that feature. I'll check out the xml files but I'd really prefer a "find" and "replace/add before/add after" kinda deal.
Look in your /Packages to see if it is there. If so, download it and use that. If not, look in /Packages/backups.
Try this parser: http://resourcez.biz/PackageParser/ (http://resourcez.biz/PackageParser/)
Ok so I manually removed the modifications I made on pages 65 and 66. Then used package manager to remove the rest. Then deleted the zCommunity folder.
Downloaded 0.8.1 and uploaded the zCommunity folder and the package to the packages folder. Installed the mod via package manager. Then when I went to manually edit my custom index.template.php, I could not find any of the code that needed to be modified or have code added above/below.
If I attach my index.template.php, could someone make the appropriate modifications for me?

Rafferty, I have exactly the 3 same problems as you.

I'm really glad i stuck with 0.7.7 now. Keep up the good work Charles!
hello every one
i installed the new release
zCommunity 0.8.1 Beta
then i uninstalled it i want to get back to
blog_community_2_02_smf11x
but i got that error
Database Error
Unknown column 'bs.value' in 'field list'
File: /home/shutters/public_html/Sources/Blog.php
Line: 542
plz help its urgent
need to get my blogs back
is it easy to make it work under the already installed smf theme
like that blog_community
and how ?
Hmm...upon installing the latest version onto 1.1.8 with TinyPortal my links are all screwy.
For starters the main page is now the blog (main page of the site that is) instead of the main page that I originally set up. This wasn't the case with the last version of zCommunity
I also now lack "admin", "search", "profile" and "members" but somehow have "Home", "Blog", "Forum", "Help", "Gallery" and "Logout"
And when I click into the other areas beyond the blog I get all my navigational menu's back until I go back into the blog
Any ideas? I'm assuming it has something to do with a conflict with TinyPortal but I could be wrong. I'm just guessing

Is this something just these two users have problem with, or is everyone having trouble? I'm worried to install because of it, I have 1.1.8 an TP 0.9.8, and when using Package Manager i get error on only Index.template.php, i can fix that, but i wouldn't want the whole community to go down because of the errors mentioned above...

I completely uninstalled everything and installed fresh SMF files and reuploaded fresh zCommunity files without Tinyportal and it still messes up the links and takes over the main page for some reason
Has anyone actually got this installed and working?
I would love to see it in action before installing to see if its exactly what i want!
From what I have been reading it might be conflicting with tp... any updates on this??

I am having the same troubles, but I also had them with the previous version of zcommunity...
my blog community worked like a breeze in comparison to this zcommunity.
i also have the same versions of smf and tp as you having the issues above with missing links, and the other errors. i hope to see a stable version of this soon..its a good idea but w/out it actually working it just leaves us frustrated and blogless.

This happens to be my problem too.
As son as i click on the bogs, the admin link disappears
plus i have a lot of eval errors on the error log.
any help?
Another quick question,
i installed this mod on a custom theme.
I have manually edited the index template php of the custom theme.
the major issue now is that i cant save permissions after assigning them, and it send tons of errors to my eror log,,
Feature request: Ability to report articles.
Feature request: do away with zcomunity having it's own theme. Use the existing forum's theme. That way it doesn't visually look like $hit as well would require less modification to one's custom theme index.template.php .
I'm still sticking with 0.7.9 until someone responds to my post on the prev page, or the next version is released.

I'm actually thinking about going back to that verison (since right now I have it disabled alltogether). I just have to figure out where I can get the files for it as I only have the SMF install files.
Hi Charlls,
I'm using the last stable version of blog community, and I can't get it to work with pretty urls mod, it seems there are some custom modifications needed on sources/querystring.php but I can't figure out, do u have the solution for this problem answer somewere ?

On the mod page. See post 1 in this thread.
Well I just wasted my time uninstalling TinyPortal and installing SimplePortal in hopes it wouldn't have the same issues. It does.
Hopefully someone can figure out a fix for it soon so I can start writing pointless things again!
I thought I would make a suggestion. And trust me, I'm no pro. But I've been doing installs like this for years.....
I installed the latest zCommunity version 8 on 2 different servers, on 2 different versions of SMF 1.1.8 and 2.0, with both Tiny Portal and Simple Portal, and it works very nicely!
I've found out over time, 9 times out of 10, if I have trouble, it is with the FTP of files....
FTP can throw a ton of ghosts into the mix...
Try a different method of FTP.......If a file is showing an error, FTP and overwrite just that file.
For the community files, I was going to ZIP just the zCommunity folder, not the whole Community install Folder, if I had any trouble. I might suggest trying that. That way you can FTP the zipped community, and extract it quickly and easily inside the file manager.
It might help a few of you, but probably not all....
Hope it helps!
There are issues with zCommunity integrating with installations of SMF that have portal systems installed..... I will address these issues, but there are other things I am attempting to accomplish at present.
I have been working on building the stand-alone version of zCommunity. I've been slimming everything down, trying to make it as efficient and simplified as possible. Once it's stable enough I'm going to use zCommunity on its own for my main site (degrees of zero) and put the support forum (which will use SMF) on a sub-domain. I will then finish up the downloads system framework (plug-in) for zCommunity and use that to distribute plug-ins, themes, and zCommunity itself. Then I'll get back to making zCommunity work much more easily with SMF.
Please understand that this is a giant project and requires a great deal of time. Thank you for your continued patience.
damnitmike...you have it working with tinyportal with the latest version of zCommunity?
And glad to see you're going to keep a version for SMF integration Charles Hill! zCommunity is pretty pimp!
Thanks dry3210 for asking.....I went back through my 1.1.8's and they weren't the current zCommunity..... >:(
Thats my bad bro!!! Sometimes the new versions come out so fast....
But its damn slick in 2.0.......and it installs nice too.....and I had quite a few mods already installed ahead of it.....
Sorry I confused everyone!
Perhaps I should upgrade to 2.0 then!

Well I installed 0.7.9 alpha onto my newly updated 2.0RC1 SMF with simple portal and it said "Hacking attempt" when I went into the blog
So I figured it was cause I had updated so I downgraded to 1.1.8 again which caused all sorts of issues...where I ended up having to make a new database and just copy over the blog, gallery and simple portal files
Once everything was back up and running I find out that the blog still says "hacking attempt" when I access it but at least I still have my pictures
At this point I give up and will proceed to stab myself in the eye with a pencil so I feel better
I will go back to waiting for a new release and be blogless....and eyeless for that matter

Thanks, this is a cool mod though it's not personally useful to me at this time. I uninstalled it a while back and wanted to make sure there wouldn't be a problem with dropping those tables that for some reason it appears didn't uninstall at the same time.
Thanks again.
I have resorted back to blogcommunity for now because it works perfectly for me as needed. I just need one minor alteration to it and it is as the image attached describes.

I don't know the answer specifically, but i'm sure it's as easy as moving a few lines of code to an earlier point in the file(s) responsible for display of the blog content. Charles should have the answer....
Thank you link, that is kinda what I was thinking and what I was waiting for :) Seems to be the super easy [appearing at least] things that go right over my head on where to locate them.
Hello @ all
First, thank you for this great SMF-Mod.
But i have a little Problem:
I am Using SMF 1.1.5 with SimplePortal and DilberMC-Theme. My problem is that the blog-page always come "under" the portal-page. It allways shows the simpleportal-blocks first and then is coming the blog-side.
My wish is, that the blog has a "own" page, without the blocks from simpleportal, e.g my forum has.
Please, can you help me ?
thank you and sorry: english is not my native language.
Happy eastern
divecall
I am pretty sure you can select to hide all panels in blog admin to remove those from your blog.
If i try the import any board get this error.
There appears to have been a problem with the database. Please try again.
If the problem persists, please contact the site's administrator. How can i fixed?

bump....anyone?
ok it appears these two files have something to do with it...
anyone at all for my above requests?
and also I know blogcommunity is no longer supported but Im hoping that perhaps I can get some assistance on this one:
Unknown column 'windowID' in 'field list'
File: /home/anypupco/public_html/a-corsotalk/Sources/BlogSettings.php
Line: 489
Just to clear up my situation a bit, I have 2 sites I am working with the blog mods on, one of them...I have blogcommunity working smoothly on, however one of them I cannot get blogcommunity nor can i get zcommunity to function properly on.
I get this error with zcommunity:
Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required '/home/anypupco/public_html/a-corsotalk/zCommunity/Sources/Subs-db-mysql.php' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/anypupco/public_html/a-corsotalk/Packages/temp/install_db_edits.php on line 84
It is the same site/database that I got the previous error I listed in my previous post about BlogCommunity...
I have uninstalled all blog scripts when trying BlogCommunity initially, and remove that when I tried to install zCommunity.
I dont mean to be a bother but I would be very grateful for any further support you have for this mod.
===
edit:
===
I have tried to manually run the install_db_edits.php as suggested in previous posts on here in this thread and I keep getting the same error Could not find the necessary zCommunity sources files. Database edits failed!
Well I've been tinkering around with it some more while waiting for the next update and this is what I ended up with
1.1.8 with 0.8.1a and simpleportal installed. I took it out of "single blog" mode and put it in "community mode" and now it doesn't show up as the main page which is great. It still does remove a bunch of the links when you go into the blog link though but beyond that it seems to function.
I also can't seem to figure out how to edit it for the "classic" theme but I'm probably going to update to 2.0RC1 and break everything again anyway.
So hopefully those who are also waiting for the next release can use this info to get by with till then
@ NenaGb ... sounds like you're just missing some files. If you have all the files, then something is wrong in the install_db_edits.php file.
I've been mega busy with life, so I haven't gotten as much done as I would like. Good news is that I've got zCommunity functioning by itself. I just need to build a few things still (administrative stuff and some user-end stuff). I've decided that the easiest way to provide SMF-specific integration for zCommunity will be to provide that as a plug-in. It'll still install and integrate the same way, though.

I'm having this same problem. The importer creates the entry on the blog index, but there are no blog entries, and the board remains in SMF.
Anyone have any idea how to fix this?

I never tried to use it. But everything else is functional. Of course you have to tweak it a wee bit to look right with your custom theme. But yes works fine.
I can either send it to you on msn or by email. Which do you prefer?
@charles hill: you should add all the prev versions back to the mod page so that people can use the parser when install/uninstalling/upgrading/downgrading between versions as most other mods do.

I'll give it a shot. I have about a dozen blogs that were in BlogCommunity on my 1.1.8 forum, and I did an upgrade on my forum to 2.0 RC1 this weekend. The blogs is the last piece of the upgrade that I need to finish.
Right now, the blogs are showing up as forums, but when I run the importer, it creates the blog, but there are no articles in the blog. It fails with the same message Özgür´ listed above. I poked around in the database, and I suppose I could manually create the blogs since I don't have that many, but I really don't want to do that if it can be avoided...

SO
i cant see the package list to uninstall it and fix my forum... i dont know what to do? help please
I can't install this mod, I don't know what happens.... I install it the same ganeral mods. it's problem. and then I intall by manual, it's problem,too
smf 1.1.8 +zcommunity 0.8.1. tell me how to do. i'm from thailand. my english isn't good.
thank you for this mod
I'm assuming when you set an entry to "Private" then you're the only one who can see it?
Also, the friends thing is a feature if you have multiple bloggers?
I guess theres no way to password protect certain entries or perhaps a permission base system per entry is there?

I had this problem once, but i forget the solution. I'm pretty sure i just reinstalled due to being drunk the first time. :P It also may require some code added to you custom theme's index.template.php.

Extract zCommunity_0_8_1_beta__files.zip and upload the zCommunity folder to your forum root.
Then upload zCommunity_0_8_1_beta__smf_install.zip to your packages folder and install via package manager.

When you create each blog it gives you options as to who can see it. If it still fails, I highly recommend downgrading to 0.7.9 .

2. Execute Modification .\Sources/Subs.php Test successful
3. Execute Modification .\Sources/Who.php Test successful

deleted all files then tried the same with 7.9 version:
once again i got

is it worth going ahead with the install anyway?
or have i missed a manual change somewhere?
thanks in advance
you will have to manually apply the failed changes to your index.template.php file(s).
thanks for the fast reply,
i was afraid of that.... as its been so long since ive found a mod that i could use, ive forgotten how to do it!
any hints on how id manually apply the failed changes in index.template.php? or how id even find them?
cheers

Procede, but you will have to edit your index.template.php manually afterwards. If using 0.7.9, use this to parse it: http://resourcez.biz/PackageParser/index.php
If using 0.8.1, use the parser on the mod page.

Thats per blog though, not per entry right?
hmmmmm strange this.
i went ahead with the 7.9 version install, and all appears to be working fine?
i have not parsed anything yet and all options are there, and the standard layout is intact?
thanks again for the quick replies
edit:
ive just checked all the parts to manually change and they are in my template already?
is this possible?
edit 2:
now we have some fun, just set up a blog and wrote the first post, when i click on publish, preview or save as draft, it goes to an error screen and states that i cannot have a blank title or body.
the title and body boxes were full when i tried to save them???
the error message given within the forum error log is:
8: Undefined index: rand_string
File: .....\zCommunity\Sources\Post.php
Line: 498
the odd thing is, it generates 6 duplicate error messages in the log for each error
If the entries were already on your custom index.template.php, then you must have already added them. If they were already on your default index.template.php, package manager added them for you.
To get rid of the "blank entry" bug add the following to your .htaccess file:
php_flag register_globals off
are there mod for ssi.php to show the article blogs in the first page the same as other functions in ssi.php or not

Then I have no idea. Adding that line to the htaccess in my forum folder fixed the problem for me. If you're still experienecing problems you'll have to wait for the developer to provide actual support.....I wouldn't hold your breath :P
in a final attempt to get this mod to work, heres what ive done.
i deleted the 0.7.9 version manually and uninstalled it via smf forum admin.
ive manually uploaded the files for the new beta version
ive installed via admin part of forum, now i have the blog (to which i can finally post to) however it now is only the blog and all my boards have disappeared from the header bar.
so i click to "import" a board to test it... importing board fails.
is there anyone out there who has any idea on how to get this mod working?
it looks good but support is lacking, im just waiting for anyone to have a go at getting it to work before i give up on it all together and put it down to being unreliable and full of bugs.
thanks
Are you using smf2.0 or 1.1.8?
smf 1.1.8 links,
with version 0.8.1 the blog comes up and i can post to it (unlike version 0.7.9 - which kept returning me to a blank boxed error screen)
the post shows up, but then becomes the first page of the site (over riding the forum)
so i try to import boards from the forum, which fails, plus the previous and next, post buttons only show the post im already viewing, even when i have three posts on the blog to move between.

Even tho my attempts to assist you have failed. If you chose to try and make it work, I guarantee you'll have more success with 0.7.9 than 0.8.1. I recommend testing a fresh test install with 0.7.9. It may provide insight as to why it's not working on your main site.

xTwilightx if that was for me it didn't do anything unfortunately.
If you're trying to view zCommunity pages through a mobile device, it'll tell you "zCommunity does not support wireless protocals yet. Sorry."
Obviously I'll add easy template support for mobile devices eventually.

You can play around with a live development version at:
http://degreesofzero.com/dev/_zc/zCommunity/index.php
That is zCommunity as a stand alone web application.
Hey, I was wondering if anyone knew the location of the background color for the menu tabs in zcommunity such as "manage blog, Preferences, Notifications, Global settings..." (I've been playing around with it for hours trying to change it) And then also on my right bar.
I'm using the default theme. What item should i fix in .css files
I attached a pic to show you what I'm talking about.
Depends on what version you're using.... But try zCommunity/Themes/default/css/style.css or zCommunity/Themes/default/css/zc_basics.css and look for stuff that has to do ul.dropNav2

Hello Charles Hill ... Thanks for the mod I hope you might have an answer for this... I am running 1.1.8 default. I had this mod installed and thought all was going well but there seems to be a problem with the Global Settings "Default Settings for New Blogs". I try and check the boxes so everyone to see the blogs, and when i submit the change the checks go away and I cannot get them to stay. As a result depending on what member group you are in you can or cannot see the blogs... any ideas?
Filipina,
If you had read the previous pages or used search, you would have noted that this has been reported a number of times.
The only solution, at the moment is to adjust the permissions manually, in the database.
thank you kindred... i did a search of "permissions" in this topic and the only result I got was the original post from the mod author. So if the word permissions was used on other pages it is not being picked up in a search of the topic. I did scroll through a number of pages but next time I will make sure to scan them all.
Hi,
Great mod! I've asked this already but no answer; how do I get the buttons for the blogs to show up? I have none and the text is inline vertically, which is annoying.
I included a picture of what I mean with my last post a few days ago.
Thanks for your help.

I've had time recently to work on zCommunity... it's coming along very nicely. Again you can check it out at the following link:
http://degreesofzero.com/dev/_zc/zCommunity/
That's it stand-alone (without SMF), but it will not be difficult to integrate it with SMF. I've been cleaning up the template side of things so that it'll be a lot easier to work with and much more stable when integrating with SMF.

I look forwards to the next one that'll work with SMF. Good job on things Charles
I'm running SMF 2.0 RC1 and installed the Zcommunity mod a few days ago and everything has been fine until today when a guest was viewing the blogs and I went to the "View Who's Online" link and recieved the following error:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function zc_plugin_slot() in /home/content/a/u/c/myforum/html/zCommunity/Sources/Who.php on line 217
Any help would be appreciated!
When will a stand alone version be available for download? Of course I would like to get it working with smf as well but a stand alone version ...would that be similar to wordpress mu?
I don't know when the next version will be available. Yes it'll be like wordpress MU in that it will be a full, stand-alone web application. Been very busy with life, so I have no idea when I'll be able to get it done.
Hi. Can someone post their examples of this blog mod functioning in their SMF? That would be awesome, thanks.
maybe try reading some of the thread? There have been at least 10 sites posted in this thread... many for previous requests that ask the exact same thing.
So I just tried to install zCommunity 0.8.1 on my 1.1.8 SMF that has the theme called SMF Grunge.
* I uploaded the zCommunity folder into my forum root directory.
* Then I did the auto-install.
* Then I manually edited the file: /Themes/SMF_Grunge/index.template.php
That's the only file in the /Themes/SMF_Grunge directory that this mod edits.
I have 2 issues:
1) When I go into the zCommunity Control Panel, everything is in white boxes and all of the normal text is also colored white, so I can't read anything unless I highlight the text.
2) Well I had like 5 errors in my Forum Error Log during installation in the following files:
/forum/zCommunity/Sources/Load.php
/forum/Packages/temp/install_db_edits.php
But now when I look I have like 45 additional errors, mostly involving the file:
/forum/Themes/SMF_Grunge/languages/ThemeStrings.english.php (eval?)
But also have errors in:
/forum/zCommunity/Languages/Errors.english.php
/forum/zCommunity/Sources/Subs-smf.php
/forum/zCommunity/Themes/default/index.template.php
Am I doing something horribly wrong, or perhaps this mod does not install to this theme?
I made a backup of my forum so I'll be going back to that soon, I'm in Maintenance Mode right now. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
I nstalled the 0.7.6 version since the lastest version is still on beta mode.
The problem is that i cant seem to delete a blog created by a member.
How do i set that?
snookstah,
1- if you got errors on install in load.php, then your MUST manually make those edits.
2- if install_db_edits did not run, then you don't have the database tables that are needed....
(eval means that the error is not actually IN that file, just that it got triggered while running code in that file)
As for the theme.... the blog system uses it's own themes... so there may be some overlap between smf css and the blog css which may be incopatable... try running on the default smf theme to verify installation is correct and then make a custom theme for the blog that matches your smf theme.
Solution: use 0.7.9 8)
Thank you for your suggestions. I don't feel this version of zCommunity is stable enough. I suppose I'll wait for a non-Beta version, if it ever does come out. I'm so disappointed, I was really looking forward to giving my members this blog functionality. Hopefully this mod, or some other mod, will come through soon.
where do you download plugins for this mod?
I do not believe that there are any plugins, currently. However, one would assume that, when they are made, they will be available on the creator's site.
Started using this, getting my way in admin options now.
Just one question and one remark
Question: Is it lets say "legal" for the author to move the copyright of zcommunity on the bottom on my forum, along the SMF copyright? it will be always visible but it fits better to my eyes. im not asking to completely remove the copyright
Remark: Had big issues with 0.8.1 and TP, tried various ways to hide the TP blocks in the blog admin area and the test blog i created with no avail. With 0.7.8 its fine
Regards,
Inny

Thank you for your suggestions. I don't feel this version of zCommunity is stable enough. I suppose I'll wait for a non-Beta version, if it ever does come out. I'm so disappointed, I was really looking forward to giving my members this blog functionality. Hopefully this mod, or some other mod, will come through soon.
And again, the solution is: use 0.7.9 :)
It works perfectly. I only had to tweak a few color things to suit my theme.
Found a problem with 0.8.1
See attached error log. Am setting mine back to the stable version.
These errors began the second I added the beta version and stopped once I uninstalled it.
I am running 1.1.8 if that helps
Is this mod dead or what? Did the maker give up on it?

Ha ha. He just posted on May 3rd that he's working on it.
i using smf v.1.1.8 and i try to install this mod.
but when i try run install_db_edits.php i get blank page any hader is show and in title page i see "Error!" but i cannot see what is error.
I'm using TP 0.9.8 with SMF 1.1.8. After installing zCommunity it does not show my original frontpage I was using on my forum and has been replaced with the blog frontpage. How does one remove the blog from showing as the frontpage and have my original TP frontpage & blocks show?
Hope that's understandable.

Try switching the blog to community mode instead of individual blog and see if that works. Thats what I'm doing until another version is released

I've had time recently to work on zCommunity... it's coming along very nicely. Again you can check it out at the following link:
http://degreesofzero.com/dev/_zc/zCommunity/
That's it stand-alone (without SMF), but it will not be difficult to integrate it with SMF. I've been cleaning up the template side of things so that it'll be a lot easier to work with and much more stable when integrating with SMF.
Is it possible to begin with the stand-alone and work it into a theme? I am only using the default theme but am also using Tiny Portal v1.0 beta 3.
My problem is that I cannot remove the portal side blocks when I have it select "Don't show forum template layers on community page" it still displays the portal blocks.
When I am on the blog Community page the header and navbar are not diplaying the same as the forum.
Any help, comments, suggestions?
As for the opinions from Link187
QuoteAnd again, the solution is: use 0.7.9
I am running SMF 1.1.9 and Tiny Portal v1.0 beta 3 with zCommunity 0.8.1
I am also wondering if anyone has an opinion about articles, not sure I like TP's article function.
Have a great day everyone!

Hi all,
I have installed zcommunity and everything looks fine except this little issue. while user clicks the blog, the following error comes
Quote
There appears to have been a problem with the database. Please try again.
If the problem persists, please contact the site's administrator.
I have given all the required permissions to the user, not really sure what went wrong. However, the user can see the admins blog though.
Have I missed to setup anything while installing? Kindly advice. Your help and suggestions will be sincerely appreciated.
You can test the site (http://www.andhraconnect.com)
username: test
password: test
Thanks
pnreddy,
version numbers are useful (smf version? zCommunity version?)
sorry for that.
SMF 2.0 RC1-1 and zcommunity 0.8.1 beta.
P.S: While installing I have emulated 2.0 RC 1
Thanks a lot for looking into this.
as previously recommended, we suggest that you use 0.7.9
Does anyone have a fix for the missing social networking icons, edit, delete, lock, etc icons (i gather this is supposed to be a dropdown menu ?!)?
Please don't just tell me to read the previous posts...I have and that isn't help ...and have read the posts on degreesofzero as well. People are just complaining about the problem or complaining that people are asking. Please just link a solution if one exists and I will thank you publicly. If you don't know don't bash me for asking please.
0.7.9
SMF RC1
NOT 1-1
anyone knows wen well be another fix other version?
or any other blog that works for smf 2.0 rc1-1?
Hi,
This is a fantastic mod, probably the best mod i ever seen. i am so happy that i found it! I am going to try immediately. I have a few questions:
1. i read that 0.7.9 is the best version now for smf 1.1.8 (maybe for 1.1.9 too), is it right?
2. i read that a standalone zCommunity will be released, how is it? Was it already released somewhere?
3. Can it be integrated with Simple Portal 2.2.2? That means, i would like to display in Simple Portal the latest articles from all the blogs installed, is it possible?
4. or, is it possible to make the default page to the blogs page, so when user hits for example the main domain www.xyz.com, it will show the blogs page as default first HOME page?
so far, only 4 questions. Will have more for sure after. Thank you very very much!
All this best to this great mod!

I can only answer the first question. Yes it works with 1.1.9 . :)
thank you, i hope someone can help to answer the other questions.
well...
1- already answered
2- It will be released when Charles says so. It is not released yet.
3- Of course it can and is possible... that being said, there is nothing PRE-designed to fill SP blocks... You would have to write the code yourself.
4- That too would require some modification to have the community override SP.

no sh1t that's why i suggested to point your domain at it... so typing the url is unneccesary... or u could just reverse the home and blog button codes...

Highly unlikely anyone does. use 0.7.9 :)
thank you! i found out felblog which supports attachment, but the mod is not here anymore. >:(
I have a humble request:
- Option to make blog-posts count towards members' post-count in the forum (important for forums that rely a lot on post-counts to unlock features)
This might be something that i perhaps could modify myself. It doesn't seem like such an advanced thing to do. Anyone know how i could do this?
Question: Does zC use SSI in a way that you can make a tooltip show the amount of users currently viewing the Blogs?
Quote from: BoZilla on May 05, 2009, 12:05:36 AM
I'm running SMF 2.0 RC1 and installed the Zcommunity mod a few days ago and everything has been fine until today when a guest was viewing the blogs and I went to the "View Who's Online" link and recieved the following error:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function zc_plugin_slot() in /home/content/a/u/c/myforum/html/zCommunity/Sources/Who.php on line 217
I have a similar problem with that latest version, 0.8.1. Whenever someone is viewing the blogs page, the Who's Online page is completely blank.
robin:
1st question... actually, it's harder than you might think, because the zCommunity stores the blog posts in a completely different table and format. There are a number of places which would have to be modified in the mod and in the basic smf code
2nd question... as already stated several dozen times. use 0.7.9.
Well, thank you, Kindred.
if i install 7.9 what kind of problems can i confront?
Quote from: GQCritic on March 20, 2009, 10:16:19 AM
I did what you requested above. It did not work and I am now getting the following errors:
2: implode() [<a href='function.implode'>function.implode</a>]: Invalid arguments passed
File: */public_html/zCommunity/Themes/default/index.template.php
Line: 196
I just noticed the same error in my log too, and would like to report it in version 0.8.1, not as a complaint though.
Type of error: General
...forum/index.php?action=who
2: implode() [<a href='function.implode'>function.implode</a>]: Invalid arguments passed
File: .../zCommunity/Themes/default/index.template.php
Line: 194
Line 194: <td align="left">', implode($context['zc']['link_tree_divider'], $context['zc']['link_tree']), '</td>
Well, wow... there's a million billion errors caused by zC 0.8.1 so i sure hope you guys have got those yourselves when you bug-check the mod. Kind of impractical for me to paste them all here. Most of them are "Undefined" though.
Put it this way. I use 0.7.9 and it works fine. I have no problems. Only tweaks I may have made, if any, were theme related.
Mine works fine too, always did. The errors doesn't affect anything practical, it seems. But they're there, in the background, and i don't think the devs would or should stop working until the mod is completely error-free.
The error that says "There appears to have been a problem with the database. Please try again. If the problem persists, please contact the site's administrator." most probably have something to do with the SMF RC1-1 update. Didn't have this before it. Just a hint.
I just noticed; this only seems to affect regular members trying to view their own blogs. Both blogs that were created before the SMF update and after are affected for me.

I installed a fresh copy of SMF RC1 2.0 and ZCommunity 0.7.9A. Whenever I go to create a new Article or post a comment to an existing article I get the error message Above. If I retype the information in the new page then it posts normally. Any ideas on what is causing this problem?
http://www.obelisks.net/forum/index.php?zc
I'm pretty sure it's a bug. A lot of people have reported this issue (including myself).
Is there a fix for this ? I can't seem to find one...
BTW, I'm using version 0.7.9 on SMF 1.1.9, I had major problems with the newest beta 0.8.1, so I went for the older one as most people seem to think it's better.
The fix is use 0.7.9 until the dev desides to start working on the mod again. If he ever does...
Eh? Charles quit? I doubt he's a quitter.
Yeah he seems active on his own forum a few days back. The problem I am having at the moment is the edit and social bookmarkings are not appearing in my theme. They appear fine in the default theme, but not in my PS-Black theme.
That must mean that the bookmarking code is in each theme. Why don't you look for the bookmarking code and try comparing that file with the same one of your theme?
Sounds like a goo idea. Charles (on his site) refers to a csshover.htc which may have something to do with it - I'm just researching that at the moment.
MrMorph's issue with posting an article and the error of both primary fields being blank is related to the encryption of the field names using sha1('n' . $field_name . $_SESSION['zc_rand_string'])
The issue is the session variable. What worked for some people was turning off register_globals through .htaccess
All the errors u're experiencing (the undefined index or some implode errors) are minor, but obviously you would like to have no errors at all. You can debug those yourself manually by using ctrl+f to find the undefined indexes or variables in zcommunity, wherever they might be.
I am still developing zCommunity. But as I've said, it is a stand alone web application (CMS), and i'll have to write a bridge for it to SMF. Been extremely busy doing free lance work (gotta pay the bills, you know).
Charles, did you mean the implode argument error with "session variable" ? Thanks for the help.
I read you with the bills there. I'll get that nice lump of donation-money to you when this recession isn't killing me and my partner.
Well I fixed the missing bookmarks - my themes index.template.php was just missing loading the style sheets. Thanks to Robin Robin for pointing me in the right direction.
If anyone else has this problem with different themes then just edit that theme's index.template.php :
Find
// The ?fin11
Add in before it :
if (isset($modSettings['zc_mode']))
{
// load stylesheets?
if (!empty($context['zc']['load_css_stylesheets']))
foreach ($context['zc']['load_css_stylesheets'] as $url)
echo '
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="', $url, '" />';
}
This is a suggested fix for : zCommunity 0.7.9 only, I have no idea if it will work in other versions.
So that's one down. But I have no idea about the session variable. And would turning register_globals off have an impact on other things ???
QuoteCharles : The issue is the session variable. What worked for some people was turning off register_globals through .htaccess
Eureka ! I was using my local machine's server, I looked in php.ini and register_globals was 'On'. I changed it to 'Off' and restarted the server and now it works. Brilliant, thanks Charles.
BTW, for anyone not sure of doing this, like I was try reading this :
http://uk.php.net/manual/en/security.globals.php
They are going to drop that 'feature' altogether as it's a big security problem. Once I read that I decided I would definitely turn them off. I also found my hosting service has them turned off anyway, I guess most hosts will probably be like that, but the odd few might just be the ones causing this problem.

No, the implode arguments error you are getting usually means there's a variable that's empty that is having implode() used on it. Usually in the templates somewhere. If you see an undefined index error referring to the same line in the same file as the implode error, then that's probably the case.
If I was depending on donations, I woulda quit a long time ago like some mod developers I've seen. Like I said, I am making progress. You'll know for sure big things are coming soon once I switch over my main site (degrees of zero) to zCommunity.
@MrMorph ... glad you got everything sorted out :)
Yes thank for your help :)
One question - polls - when I create a poll there is a link ( More Options ), presumably to add further poll options. Only trouble is I click on it and nothing happens. This means I am restricted to just 2 choices in a poll.
I've tried this in Chrome and Firefox.
Is this a bug and if so is there a fix ?
Many thanks.
I figured out a fix for the polls and adding more options if anyone needs it :
http://degreesofzero.com/index.php/topic,562.0.html
Looks like the string the string, :total}, should be converted to some other value or string before being used in mysql_query... There's a few possible causes to that... Difficult error to fix.

New SMF and new zCommunity.
I logged member'S account, and it gave this error.
did you run the database install file?
Arrghh! Someone wants me to customise the look of this beast and what do I see? Nested tables in the templates? No ID on basic things like the nav links at the top so you can find them easily and target them? Grumble mumble rhubarb......................
/me goes back to excavating and template editing
:P
Does anyone know how to add a link to any existing blog for a user in their profile page please ?
Cheers.
what do you mean "you made everything"?
the database file is not something you make... you upload it an run it in order to create all of the database tables
I was installed new SMF and new zCommunity.
I opened a blog.
And i registered a test users.
I made permissions settings for regular members.
I logged from test user. (It's regular member)
I created a blog.
And it gave this error
"There appears to have been a problem with the database. Please try again.
If the problem persists, please contact the site's administrator."
If you try my steps ylu will see this error.
I'm wait your helps.
Thank You.
you installed zxCommunity how?
You uploaded the files and run the package mod?
did you then specifically upload and run the database install file?
I got the 0.7.9 version working and I wonder if I would like to upgrade into 0.8.1 version do I have to run the install_db_edits.php again?
I believe that I don't have to run that db_edits again since I have already run it while installing the 0.7.9 version.
I installed the modification normally. First I uploaded the file, then installed as a package. I checked the database, all the tables are OK. And the blog works fine. The only problem is when I create a new standart member and that member creates a blog, it cannot be viewed.
I get this error
Could not locate the necessary zCommunity files. Database edits failed!
Did you copy the zCommunity folder across ?
I went to Packages-Downlaod Packages-Upload A Package and uploaded the .zip folder?
Yeah you run the install file, but theres also a folder with all the files in which you need to upload seperately and BEFORE you run the package installer. I suggest you go back and read the instructions again.
Agh ive done it now, were do i view the blogs?
Bumping MrMorph's question, since I know Charles is busy moving his site to a new server (so I can't search there) and hoping that someone else will know the answer to this?

Is this safe for smf 1.1.10?
Quote from: Baloch on July 17, 2009, 07:34:32 AM
Is this safe for smf 1.1.10?
Baloch, it should be fine. I installed 0.8.1 on my 1.1.9 forum and, when upgrading to 1.1.0, it was unaffected. The only file involved in the upgrade to 1.1.0 that is also included in zCommunity's parsing instructions is /index.php and the only edit made to that during the upgrade is the version number (from 1.1.9 to 1.1.10 ).
GLig, did you do this?
Admin-------->zCommunity---------->Control Panel--------->Permissions
Then click "Modify" next to the name of the member group to set the permissions for that group.
If the member you created is a "Regular" member, then you need to click Modify next to that group and make sure all the appropriate permissions are checked, then save your changes. Also, if a blog has restricted access, then only the groups you allow to view "regardless of access restrictions" will be able to see them.
:-X I have big problem to install zCommunity blog.
I have try package install and i have try the manuell install and both fails.
Why ?
Are the mod not working on SMF 1.1.10 ? pleas need help , i whant to run this mod on my page
then i add this to package in packages installer, and press make mod, it's seems good and all pass the test,
Then i press install mod, this shows on the screen
Could not find the necessary zCommunity sources files. Database edits failed!
HELP!!!
If you downloaded the 0.8.1 beta version, then this reminder is in bold font on the mod's description page:
Upload the zCommunity folder (from the compressed archive package that ends with __files) to your forum's main directory *BEFORE* installing the changes to your SMF Forum via the package manager installation package.
For that version, when you unzipped the mod, there were two folders, one ending in "__smf_install" and one ending in "beta__files". In the "beta__files" folder, there is a folder: zCommunity. That folder should have been uploaded to your forum's root directory before you tried to install. (If, for some reason, you downloaded the 0.7.9 version, then the zCommunity folder is located in the "zCommunity_0_7_9_alpha__files" and still must be uploaded to your forum's root directory.)
If you are using 0.8.1 and you've manually edited your files, then upload the included file "install_db_edits.php" into your forum's root directory and point your browser to it (example: mywebsite.com/smf/install_db_edits.php) and hit your return key to run it. (But do make sure you have the zCommunity folder located in your forum's root directory, first.)
You should remove the "install_db_edits.php" file from your forum's root directory, when you're done.
:D it's work, i have copy files but files in ZCommunity folder that's my misstake.
One other thing, how to add a different languages file ?,
MrVox, you might try going to the Swedish (Language support) thread here:
http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?board=17.0 (http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?board=17.0)
and asking someone there to take a look at the language files for 0.8.1 zCommunity (is that the version you're using?) and see if they can help. I've attached only the language folder for that version to this post and you download the zip and then reattach it to your post there for them to look at.
Translating this zcommunity, I'm guessing that I have to translate all of the zcommunity's english.php files in oder to get this translated and renamaing them into like post.finnish.php? But when I have translated all of the english file into finnish will it use the finnish files instead of the english file automaticly or do I have change settings somewhere that it would use finnish files?
Love the Blog Mod but... I'm on my third test blog and each one has been rendered dead by this error:
Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 33554432 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 2168324 bytes) in /home/xxxxxxx/public_html/smf/zCommunity/Sources/Subs.php on line 1407
I can view individual posts and I can even delete the posts but until I delete them all from the database the Blog delivers an error.
** When the DB is emptied of articles for the blog, the blog shows it has 1 article but displays none and has none in the DB.
My PHP.ini shows the following memory limit:
memory_limit 32M (local) 32M(master)
So I created a custom INI file and placed it in the SMF folder, I requested 68megs and now the error message says:

What is using so much memory? Any ways to fix?

I am getting the following error when I attempt to place the rss feed into a tiny portal block. I thought at first it was a tiny portal issue but when I go look at the raw xml file I get
XML Parsing Error: not well-formed
Location: http://<my site url>/index.php?zc=.xml
Line Number 3, Column 3: <1>
---------^
This very error is showing up in the tiny portal rss block so its not originating at all with TP, instead its a SMF/zCommunity thing.
Where can I edit the xml output generator to see where the error may be occurring?
Thanks in advance
erealmz.... try search? That question has been answered over and over in this thread and nearly every other mod thread. You have some code that was modified by something else, so the system can not automatically install in those sections. You will have to manually make the modifications to those files.
Hows about Snackmaster!?

Brand new SMF install, default theme, one mod - custom BBCode manually entered in SMF Admin to allow posting of Youtube videos.
Only mod installed is zCommunity.
Create blog get to third post, blog go Boom.
Delete posts one by one till they're all gone and Blog works.
Create new blog, post, repeat above.
i know... and the system tells me what to add. so i go to the file, look for the part to edit... and it doesnt exist. I can not add a code if I dont know where to add it. i will try again
well, see, that's the thing... if the exact code was there, the system could do the install automatically.
You have to look at the code and find the likely match.

erealmz, it may be that some mod you've previously installed has overwritten or changed just enough of the code on the files you're showing as "failed" to keep you from successfully installing the mod. If you want to try manually installing the mod, use the parsing instructions for your version of smf found here (http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?mod=1209) (click the button by the install zip you used and then use the pull-down to find the parse for your version and then, after you've
first placed the zCommunity folder (from the compressed archive package that ends with __files) into your forum's root directory and have uploaded your edited files to their proper folders, place the install_db_edits.php into your forum's root directory and point your browser to it. If you install with this method, you won't need to go through the package manager.
Another option, if you want to go through the package manager, is to get clean copies of the files that are failing the test from your SMF folder (if you still have it from when you installed SMF or upgraded) and upload those to your server. Bear in mind, after zCommunity is installed, you will want to re-edit those files to put back any edits that some of your other mods may have used on those same files, so before you begin, you may want to have the manual parsing for your other mods handy so that you can add their edits back into your "clean" files and then reupload the files.
Hi,
I can't seem to allow blog posts to have attachments - is this possible with smf 2 rc 1.2 - it is with 1.1.10.
Any comments appreciated.

I believe that blogging system doesn't allow attachments.

you would have to either hand-code it or use the custom profile fields mod...
Does anyone know how the development of zC is going since 0.8.1?
Going to relaunch my site this weekend. Been extremely busy.
Alright. Good work as always i presume, Charles!
is here any block code for tiny portal to show latest article in blogs?
Anyone?

I setup the blog I add 5 blog posts and it runs like a charm, the site moderator enters an article and boom the blog generates the above every time. Every article in the blog including the last article entered is viewable, just the Top level Blog view is not (index.php?blog=1.0).
i am using smf 1.1.10 and i try to install zCommunity 0.8.1.
when i go to the install_db_edits.php page i get blank page. i see in title page u say error! but i cannot see what error?
any help?
The modification is not working. it has full errors. (permissions system has bugs)
Thanks
as an admin.. how can i del the blog is not active?
Hi,
i like this mod so far. I have just one question. When i set the blog to Single Mode, clicking on the Home link brings me to the blog instead of the forum home. Is this behaviour intended? In Community Mode this does not happens.
Any idea how can i change it?
First i thought that it was the fault of Simpleportal. I deinstalled Simpleportal but the problem remains.
SMF 2.0RC1.2
zCommunity 0.8.1
SimplePortal 2.3RC1

I have zCommunity 0.7.9 version on SFM 2.0 RC1-1 and it's working well, but I do get this error message into admin log...

Where's the error? Or how can I fix it?
define the text string rtm1 in the blog language files
Dear Charles,
I have installed the mod, but I can't find it. What is the link in the adminpanel and the blog itself?
Hello all.
I have launched the new Degrees of Zero (see announcement (http://www.degreesofzero.com/index.php?zc=forum;topic=1) for details). I have decided that I will make a zCommunity/SMF bridge and post that bridge to SMF's mod site. When this bridge will be available, I do not know. I will be making a pre-release version available soon, though. Please sign up to receive a pre-release version via the Contact Us form on my site. Thank you.
Thanks for the update Charles.
Looks like I should bail on my memory errors:
http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=330105.msg2207495#msg2207495
"I recommend against using the zCommunity available on SMF's mod site"
Ah, more problems.
zCommunity works fine for ME and for my two admins. Everybody else gets an error message when they click the Blogs tab:
Fatal error: Cannot redeclare zc_template_body_above() (previously declared in /home/designs4/public_html/meowmommy/smf/zCommunity/Themes/default/index.template.php:26) in /home/designs4/public_html/meowmommy/smf/zCommunity/Themes/smfcore/index.template.php on line 36
I'm not comfortable enough to try messing with this myself. I think it PROBABLY has something to do with permissions; I created a test account and made it a moderator and got that error. Then I made it an admin and could access everything just fine.
Adding: Now I'm getting the same error on my main account, but randomly.
I installed zCommunity on my test forum and it worked perfectly.
So I just tried to install it on my regular forum. All of the tests are successful when I apply the mod, but when I click Install Now, I get:
Could not find the necessary zCommunity sources files. Database edits failed!
I'm running SMF 1.1.10 with the default theme, and yes, I DID copy the zCommunity_0_8_1_beta__files folder to the proper directory before I installed it. The other mods I have are Shop, Arcade, Custom BBCode, Custom Form, Custom Action, Gallery Lite, and Dice Roller. All of those are also on my beta site, which is set up pretty much identically to the main one.
One possibility: the last item listed under Install Actions is:
5. Execute Code install_db_edits.php
I don't have this file ANYWHERE, even after re-unzipping the original files.
Odd. Scrap that. I tried for HOURS last night and got the same thing. Today I signed on and tried it just for the heck of it, and it installed fine.
Hi I'm trying to install but a get an error message. The package you tried to upload either is not a valid package or has become corrupted.
I unzipped the packaged and uploaded the zCommunity_0_8_1_beta__files to the root of the intallation directory. Then I tried to upload the zipped packages with the ui
I'm new at this so maby i'm O:)

This mod is no longer being updated as an SMF extension. As advised by the mod's creator, Charles Hill, this has expanded into a self-sustaining, standalone, all-by-itself, no SMF needed, no longer a mod, application. That being said, I'm fairly certain that it will not be supported by the author/creator, which means that it will not be updated to smf 2.0 rc1.2.
As far as the people having issues with the existing mods and the 1.x.x version of SMF, it's a bit of a tricky setup. There are instructions, make sure to follow them to the letter. Those of you upgrading from an old version, you want to UNINSTALL the old version first, and then INSTALL the new version.
Past that, I move that the mod itself be removed, and that a separate topic be made starting from the Announcement that this will no longer be a mod for SMF.
Thank you!
I have this mod working on 2.0rc1.2
Need some help.
I tried to install the mod before uploading the files, what can I do to make it work?

Seconded; it's pretty confusing at the moment.
What is confusing? 0.7.9 works on SMF 1.1.x and 2.0
0.8.1 works for some people...
Both are still valid mods for SMF installation.
The author has stated that, once he has the stand alone running the way he wants, he'll port a bridge for smf (probably as an smf mod)
So, this can and should stay just like it is right now...
Still having problems, I gwet the following error
"Could not find the necessary zCommunity sources files. Database edits failed!"
Any ideas??
you 1- did not upload the files section of the package and 2- did not run the database install portion.
I uploaded the _files.zip to the packages directory. That didn't work, so then did it to the main directory, but that didnt work.
How do you run the database install bit? I tried the install bit from the package area?
did you read the instructions at all?
UNZIP and upload all of the files into a separate directory off of the root.
the database file is uploaded but sometimes fails to run. extract it from the zip, upload and run it.
is it possible to get users avatar name and things like that, the same as when posting something on the forum on te community?
tried by myself but with no succes, i'd appreciate it if someone could help me out.
i still try to find the code for block (simple portal-tinyportal) to show latest article in blog..
Hello quick question,
In past, I have used the old "blog community" system when it came out and had have good success with it. I remember that it was posting each blog as a hidden board and each post as a thread.
What I really wanted in this system was that it would post all blogs as a thread in a particular board visible to everyone.
Has such a feature been added, is available, or can be modified to work in the way above?

No and no... the author went a completely different direction. The blogs are now completely stand-alone... not tied to the message boards/message tables in any way whatsoever.

Is this your site?
nielsbauergames.com/forum
Did you install any other mods? It looks like you have a missing close of a function or conditional...
No, our site is kimkins.com
Quoteecho '
</feed>';
Seems to be the last output in the XML.php file, other than obExit(false); at the end of the funtion. It seems like this data is displayed somewhere between the two lines for this site.
RSS Feed: http://www.kimkins.com/members/index.php?zc=.xml;type=rss;get=articles
You'll notice if you look at the source there's a very long string on the final line.
that suggests that a) your site was hacked, b) you installed a mod which targets that other site for some reason or c) you have a host who automatically inserts junk at the beginning or end of every file.
Kindred beat me to it - all them references to pharmaceuticals are the giveaway
hi there wondering if anybody could help me i am using 2.0 rc1.2 and i had previously installed version 0.7.9 of this mod but i had some small problems with it one of which was that when it came to the "New blogs will be visible to the following member groups by default:" function no matter how many groups i did or didnt select it always saved the same the first group selected, the third group selected and the last group selected.
i recently uninstalled that version deletted all the files etc and then installed 0.8.1 all went fine and everything works except i am still getting the same problem with the new blogs visable thing plus on individual blog control panels it also occurs with groups allowed acsess and groups allowed to post settings.
interestingly neither of those two settings include 'guest' and so the first, third and last groups in the list are different to the new blogs settings as its list starts with guest.
so i know its not that i'm only being allowed to give acsess to particular groups, rather that i'm only being allowed to save settings for particular positions in the group list.
can anybody give me a clue because it has me stumped.
thanks
the only way I know to do it is to directly edit the database...
Hi,
I've installed the zCommunity Blog system on my forums. However have a couple issues.
1. When I login my administrator account, and click on Blogs in navigation menu, all seems fine, I can see users blogs. But when I login as a regular member, all I can see is my own blogs (that which I created as a regular member), I can Not see other regular members blogs.
1. Fixed, somehow the blog I created as admin account was made private instead of public. Switched it to public and it's now viewable by regular members.
2. When I am logged in as admin, I can delete my own blog, but I can not delete my forums members blogs, I would think that I as admin would have control to delete any blogs that are on my forums regardless who is the owner. I can however, change ownership of a members blog to my own and then delete it, but that seems like a kurmudgeon way around doing this.
3. When I am logged in as a regular forum member and create a new blog all is fine, however when I write an article in my own blog and submit it, I get this error every single time:
There appears to have been a problem with the database. Please try again.
If the problem persists, please contact the site's administrator.
The thing is though, the article I wrote and submitted as a regular member in my own regular member blog is written to the database. All articles I write as the admin of the site do Not produce that error about a problem with the database. If I am logged in as the administrator, I CAN view the regular members blogs and articles in those blogs without getting that error message about the database, but my regular members can not view their own, other members blogs or the administrators blogs, instead they get the error message about a problem with the database.
Even when I try to view my own blog as a regular member, I get that same error message as written in number 3 above. When I am viewing the blogs as a guest, I can read all the blogs just fine without getting that problem with the database error message, it's apparently only when I am logged in as a regular member that I get the problem with the database error message when either writing a new article or trying to read any of the blogs available regardless if they are other regular members blogs or ones created by the administrator.
I have set the permissions in the blog control panel for all my members to be regular blog members permissions so Im thinking it's not a permissions problem but I don't know what else it might be.
I run SMF 1.1.10
Any clues what I forgot to do maybe or how to fix this problem?
Thanks,
Hello. I've just installed the most recent version of zCommunity on SMF 1.1.10. It's a beautiful program, so thank you Charles for all the work you've put into it!
I do have one question about using zCommunity with other themes, though. Right now, Crip's "Headline" theme is my site's default, and zCommunity looks great with that theme. It's just that the two mouseover menus on the left side of blog posts are invisible. There are no broken image icons... and if I mouseover the areas where these menus are supposed to be, the functions still work. I'm talking about the options button that allows you to edit, lock, delete, or print blog entries... and also the bookmarking button.
They're there... they're just invisible. These buttons do appear properly when I load the SMF Core theme, so I know they're there... It's just gotta be a small piece of code I have to paste into my current theme to get them to appear, doesn't it?
Kindred couldn't you help me with my with my issue ?
darkness,
It would involve database reads and displays.... I am not really certain how tightly this mod is coded. I use it mostly out of the box with a few tweaks to make it work on RC1.2. Also, unfortunately, I do not have time to re-code other people's mods. I have a few mods of my own that are waiting, plus charter members' support.
