Title: Blog Mod for 2.0.2
Post by: ElviraS on September 24, 2012, 04:28:01 AM
I would really love a suitable blog mod. There is one for 2.0.2 but when I clicked on "Support and Comments for this Blog", I found the following :

I don't recommend this mod need to redo it at some point.

I'm surprised an actual blog mod hasn't been made yet. All major forum software has a functional mod where members can keep track of their own blogs, etc.

So apparently the one at present is not considered a very good mod. A blog mod where members can keep track of their own blogs and would be useful.

Oh...and there is another blog mod for 2.0.2 but the team that created it doesn't seem to support it anymore and apparently it has loads of errors mehh.... :

ARGH!!!!!!


Do **ANY** of the ADK team even bother to support his mod any more?

The undefined 'notify' issue is HUGE now...   I am getting, literally thousands of errors dropped into my log every week form this stupid thing.   If there were ANY other blog mod, I would have switched, because support for this mod is apparently non-existent and ADK has no interest in helping to solve the issues with their mod.

So yeah.... :(

Hello  ElviraS and welcome to sm.org. :)

In the cust site I see adk blog and smfblog (http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?mod=793).
It seems that the description of this one has never been updated, but as far as I can see the mod is developed and supported, so it should be pretty usable (disclaimer: I never used it, so I have no idea how it actually works).




A small remark: usually is better to post mod requests in the dedicated board: Mod Requests (http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?board=79.0) (I'll move the topic there in a while). ;)

No .. the latest release (as on github) works also as standalone blog ...

Yes, but when I read the comments it didn't look very promising tbh.

I have downloaded PmxBlog v1.1. I know I'm going to sound stupid, but do you now need to upload it as a package on my forum or what?

Update: I have uploaded it as a package and it seems to work fine. Thanks so much, feline. :)

i had to apply the following to fit this on my system - it has too many mods on, i'm afraid ... this works:

EDIT /var/www/html/Sources/ManageSettings.php and ADD the following:

// PmxBlog enable/disable...
                        array('check', 'pmxblog_enabled'),
                        array('check', 'pmxblog_teasermode'),
                '',


Before:

// Big Options... polls, sticky, bbc....
array('select', 'pollMode', array($txt['disable_polls']$
                        array('check', 'enable_points_in_polls'),
                        array('int', 'maximum_points_in_polls'),
                '',
