Reliable blog mod?

[Lycanth]

Just wondering if anyone knows of a good, reliable blog mod out there for IM141? Preferably easy to install because I am a novice.

I think there was one in the downloads section, but seems Helter might be working on the site, and the menus are gone and pages are messed up.

Should be back to normal soon.

Myself, I added a wordpress blog and just added links in the qbar.
Downfall is that people have to register for it.

Thank you! Now...to find someone to install it for me, heh.

That mod is fairly easy to install. BUT please note...... You must disable trackbacks and chmod trackbacks.php to 000 or simply rename the file. If not your board will come to a crawl. Several of us got together on another board and discussed the use of the Blog Mod.

As well, if I am not mistaken, you may have to edit a few files to get it to work properly. I recall a sql error that came up. I have installed it on many boards and like I said with a little work, it is a reliable mod.

The line with the sql error is:

ALTER TABLE `phpbb_weblog_actions` CHANGE `action_id` `action_id` SMALLINT( 5 ) UNSIGNED NOT NULL DEFAULT '0' AUTO_INCREMENT;

Remove the DEFAULT '0' and it will be ok.
This part causes the sql install to stop at this point.

The are a few other edits that need a little ingenuity to get it to work, but was fairly simply.

yeah they were not that bad to do. And If I am not mistaken, I have premod files for that mod. but it would only work in a vanilla IM install.

Lycanth, if still interested, give me a few days on this one until i get a day off of work and I'll have a peak at it for you since I am the one who modded your site/s anyhow. Would be rather easy for me to do since I know where evrything is and have the correct info to do so.

Give me a shout either way.

Oh and what about Templates for it? You might be able to get the template pack from here, but I have went through all of them that I have wich is like 32 of them and modified them to work a whole bunch smoother than what they originally did as well as fixed a whole BUNCH of image errors.

Not sure why, but getting a lot of download when opening websites.

I just opened your website MWE_001, and a popup window came up trying to download shoutbox.php

I got this on one of my sites also several days ago.

Getting this in firefox.

[MWE_001]

I get that every now and again as well on various websites. I haven't had it happen recently. And I do not even have shoutbox installed on that site. It is a IM Portal. Not Integramod. So that is strange.

I know it's been awhile since I had this installed, but my site was slow then and not many were using it. Now, I've discovered that it's telling everyone that they are banned from making a blog, and i have to go into admin and individually untick the box to allow them to make a blog. Is there any easier way to just allow everyone?

Can you post a link to your site, id like to see what the blog looks like.

was thinking about installing it.
does it allow pics and stuff???

Would be nice for folks to document their motorcycle trips.

My site is http://www.nextincantation.com In the top qbar you click on Pensieves. I haven't used that option yet, but it does allow pics in img tags just like the forum.

Thanks, guess Id have to register to see it?
Its not a public viewable mod?

don't see a "Pensieves" link.

You should be able to edit permissions as to who can view, create, comment etc..
Your members can also select who may view and comment on their blogs.

If you need more info, PM [url=http]MWE_001[/url]. He has installed this for many users and knows alot more about it than I do

That was a bug that came up long long ago. I would need to do some research and remember what was done to fix it if anything was. I believe that was one of the rare ones that I could never figure out. Let me see what I can come up with. RIght now it is hard because I have no IM 141 installs online. All I have is a standard phpBB with blog mod and on that install it never happens. It was an isolated bug with Integra if I recall correctly.

And Hello Ly. long time no chit chat. Hope all is well.
