[BETA] - The Blog Mod

[Dragonsys]

it is in the .cfg file. If I read the documents right, when you create a .cfg file for a block, it should show up in the ACP under variables.

[Jason Sanborn]

Eon: You're correct, but the issue is that you need a separate control for the Blog, as opposed to the same one used for topics, so that they can be independantly controlled.

[Eon]

Right. I understand that. Whe I edited my recent_topics block variables it automatically put the options in the IM Portal Config page.

I think you may be on the right track with the cfg file.

Then once you get the config file you should be able to add a variable for the blog mod.

[Dragonsys]

here is what I have:

blocks/blocks_imp_blogs.cfg

Code: Select all

<php>sql_query($sql) ) {    message_die(GENERAL_ERROR, "Couldn't obtain weblogs information.", "", __LINE__, __FILE__, $sql);    $recent_blogs .= "No Blogs"; } else {    $recent_entries = array();    while ( $row = $db->sql_fetchrow($result) )    {       $recent_entries[] = $row;    }        foreach ($recent_entries as $current)    {       $recent_blogs .= "&raquo;" . "<a><b>";     // Entry Link       $recent_blogs .= $current['entry_subject'];                          // Subject       $recent_blogs .= "</b></a><br>n            ";                // End and html formatting         $recent_blogs .= "by <a>";    // User Link       $recent_blogs .= $current['username'] . "</a> on ";                     // User Name       $recent_blogs .= date("D M j, Y g:i a",$current['entry_time']);                  // Post Date       $recent_blogs .= "</b></a><br><br>n            ";               // End and html formatting    }           if($portal_config['md_blogs_style']){             $style_row = 'scroll';         }else         {             $style_row = 'static';         }           $template->assign_block_vars($style_row,"");      $template->assign_vars(array(    'RECENT_BLOGS' => $recent_blogs,    'YOUR_BLOG' => $userdata['user_weblog']    )    );     }    } } imp_blogs_block_func(); ?>

When I tried to change the .tpl file I get errors, since I cannot set these options in the ACP, so for now, the .tpl file has not changed.

[Helter]

outstanding work guys, and thank you Dragonsys. I run this on my own forum. Pm me when your satisfied with the state of your zip, and ill update the dl section

[Dragonsys]

Ok, those block files work. just had to clear all my cache to get the variables to show up in ACP (thanks Helter)

I'll get to work on the .tpl file now.

[Dragonsys]

I got it all working. Below is the code I used. I will add this to the download file very soon.

SQL Code to add to database:

Code: Select all

INSERT INTO `phpbb_portal_config` VALUES ( '', 'md_num_blogs', '10' );INSERT INTO `phpbb_portal_config` VALUES ( '', 'md_blogs_style', '0' );

templates/fisubice/blocks/blogs_block.tpl

Code: Select all

<table><tr><td><span><BEGIN><marquee><BEGIN>{scroll.recent_blog_row.RECENT_BLOGS}<END></marquee><END><BEGIN><BEGIN>{static.recent_blog_row.RECENT_BLOGS}<END><END></span></td></tr><tr>    <td>    <hr><br><a>All Blogs</a> | <a>Your Blog</a>    </td> </tr> </table>

Please double check your file edits of the admin/admin_groups.php file

Here is the code for just that file:

Let me know if you find anything.

[napukjon]

Can you PM me a copy of your admin_groups.php file? Never hurts to have a second pair of eyes look at it <img>

[napukjon]

Ok will do <img>
