[Little15]

I'll look into that for you. I also sort out the utf problem as well.

[Little15]

I had a check and I can't seem to get that error. Which theme are you using?

As for the utf8 problem I'll be uploading an update for it soon. I just need to make sure it is working.

ADDED UTF8 support. Should work fine.

How to aprowe my users to write own blog. Admin can, but users not. sorry about my english
thanks.

my user not have options Add New Blog Entry

[Little15]

You have to give them the option from your permissions in admin. There are quite a few options there that need to be set.

Hi, Thanks!
I've been waiting for a mod like this. 

1. Can you make each new blog entry appear in the Forum Info Center?
2. Can you make each member's blog appear in a certain forum board so we won't have to click the username of a member and find out about his blog entries. What I'm talking about is something like this:

Well that would defeat the purpose of a simple profile blog. Sounds like you want a more detailed forum blog. Do a search seems like someone posted a script for such several months back. 

[Little15]

I think a better way would be to create some sort of recent posts for blogs or something. or something that shows up in members posts when they have posted a blog in the last x days. I'm looking into improvements. but most of the best idea's come from creating SSI mods. and other minor features including an improved archive. I would love to have a calendar which would show dates that blogs were posted by a user. But that might be a bit beyond my capabilities.

You could always use ssi_viewblogs. That will show as many blogs entries as you want. (e.g. ssi_viewblogs(10))

But I'll look into the idea and see what I can come up with.

I installed this on v1.0.8, and it worked, but it filled up my error log with these repeated errors:

I just uploaded a new version for 1.0.8.  It should clear up any errors.

This mod sound extremely awesome ... Will come back to it later 

[yume_kokoro]

Just wondering - Is this mod incompatible with the joomla/SMF bridge or something?

I have the latest releases of Joomla and SMF and the joomla/SMF bridge installed.

Ive installed but it has no functionality.  When I go to permissions in the admin panel,There are several extra blank lines - so no idea what to select.  When I go to user profile - there are no blogging options - just an empty drop down box.

Are you using custom theme when you check the admin CP permissions ?

yes... I'm using SAF Multicolor.

[ArkServer]

This seems like a good mod, can't wait to try it out and report back

yes... I'm using SAF Multicolor.

Try switch back to SMF default theme and check ur admin cp permission board again.

Hope that would solve your problem
