i have been looking for a blog

Thanks Daniel,

You were right, that got the forum back up

Now when I click on the blog I get: -

It looks like SSI.php is being loaded twice, for some reason. In Sources/Blog.php, find:

Code Select Expand

require($boarddir . '/SSI.php');
Replace with:

Code Select Expand

require_once($boarddir . '/SSI.php');

Everything installed correctly but when I go into Blog then the forum name, it gives me a 404.

That URL is a bit weird... The correct URL to the blog is something like http://www.ruthlessintent.com/board/blog/.
Anyways, I see what you mean by the 404 error... Did you copy all the mod_rewrite rules from htaccess.txt into a .htaccess file? Try it with "Pretty URLs" turned off ("Features and Options" -> "Blog Settings"). Even though the URLs will not be as neat, it should work fine.

Did you copy all the text from htaccess.txt into a .htaccess file? If not (or if you don't have mod_rewrite installed), you can use the "ugly urls" by going to the Blog Settings section of the admin panel (under the "Features and Options" section), and turn off "Use Pretty URLs?".

I'm getting the following error inside the topic.

Wrong mod... That error is from Little15's "Simple Blog" mod, not my one

Thanks Daniel - sorted

Is there a way around doing that? I have pretty URLs installed and would like to keep them :S

edit: i turned them off and it still made no difference

Hi!
First, thanks for this blogging system. I like that it adds to the existing system, rather than adds a completely new mod.

Now it is installed, I see that those installing this fore the first time may need more guidance than is offered in the readme. Here are some of my own experiences and if I am in error somewhere, then no doubt others here will correct me.

1. There is no means for a member to start their own blog. A new blog is a new board and - at least in my forum - a new board can be started only by Admin.

I therefore suggest that Admin has a message appear in an appropriate location to inform members that they must apply for a blog, if that's what they want. In my forum, this is done in the board description.

2. A board and sub-boards
As each member gets their own blog, I found it useful to make these sub-boards. Otherwise, the main forum list of boards could have too many boards listed.

My forum already has quite a long list of boards. If I got another 20 for member blogs, this would, in my view, be far too long.

I therefore set up a board for blogs, then made each member blog a sub-board of that.

3. Permissions
To work, the blogging system demands that only the member blogger can start new topics in their blog. Otherwise, it would not be a blog, but just another board.

Admin must therefore set up permissions for each board: deny to all except the member blogger the right to start a topic, and so on.

It's quite a bit of work to set up, but work it, in my opinion.

Thanks again!

[nitsua]

[shadow82x]

What do you change the link too

[nitsua]

instead if it acting as if it's a floder make an action
smf/index.php?action=blog

[Lemming]

Nice work!! 

Maybe you could modify the htacces file so that it makes friendly urls for the comment pages too --> 1 [2]

How's the fixing of my mod going?

[mohoganybrwn]

Is there a demo for this mod? I already have a blog mod installed on my SMF and it is attached to member's profile and also at the bottom of my index you'll see ..."Recent Blog Entries" .... is this mod simular? I can't really get the feel from the screen shots...it would be nice to see this mod in action, because I delete my other blog mod.

thanx in advance.
