Simple Blog

[Vinspire]

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:

I second this suggestion

I am actually working on a way to show new blogs on the main page. But I'll see if I can work that out as well.

Also I was wondering if I should put signatures at the bottom of blog entries or leave it off?

I don't think putting it to display on the signatures would be a good idea as it would look super messy when they have a lot of blog articles and everyone have their blogs ... Like text everywhere 

What about making it something like vbgamers SMF Traders mod ?

This mod looks great!

I have two questions and I am using SMF 1.1 RC3 by the way. 

#1:
I have the profile comments mod (which this one is based on) already installed.  Would I have to remove that first or can they work together on the same board.  I only hesitate to remove it because people will loose their current comments.


#2:
Does this mod allow the person to receive an email or a pm when someone makes a comment on their blog?

Both should work fine!

This I am hoping to have done in the next version.

This looks good thanks, although I'm not too fond of the layout

Hi
I have SMF RC3+TP and had installation error:

2.     Execute Modification     ./Themes/default//Profile.template.php     Test failed

Hi

Tinyportal shouldn't affect it. Do you have any other mods installed?

[Syndel]

Yeah I have 40 other mods....
I ended up installing it manually
Works great! Thanks so much... is a great mod

[chinclub]

Which one is for RC3?  I just downloaded 108 and it said it was corrupt or not compatable.

[chinclub]

Nevermind!  I was installing the wrong one.  I did the right one but now it is telling me test failed for Profile.template.php

How do I install it manually?

This will be made easier for the next version. Which I hope to have released soon. A working demo will be up in the next day or so.

Thanks,  I know this is probably a pretty stupid question, but I do go ahead and install the package first then edit the Profile.template.php by hand, correct?

(I'm still alittle new at all of this so I just want to be sure I am doing it right before I screw something up)

That would be the best way. You may find that some of the profile.template parts are already there, so there is no need to add them again.

Preview of 1.3 here for you

 I havn't gotten around to adding this mod yet since I have to edit the profile  file by hand.  I'm wondering now if it would be easer to wait until this newest release.  I'm assuming the changes to the profile page will be different when I upgrade?  What would be easer?

The profile.template on the new version has only two parts two add

1. the make blog private or public options
2. the blog part itself which is now much smaller than the previous version as I made a function in the profile.php file and it calls on that in the profile.template.

So I would say wait.

It should be ready very soon.

Version 1.3 is now up!

I cant see entries in the index.....

Or could it be that you can only see other people blog?
