[BETA] - The Blog Mod

[Dragonsys]

ok.. check this file edit:

Code: Select all

##-----[ OPEN ]------------------------------------------#common.php  ##-----[ FIND ]------------------------------------------#?>  ##-----[ BEFORE, ADD ]------------------------------------------#include_once($phpbb_root_path . 'includes/functions_vault.'.$phpEx);  ##-----[ OPEN ]------------------------------------------#admin/xs_cache.php  ##-----[ FIND ]------------------------------------------#$skip_files = array(     '.',     '..',     '.htaccess',     'index.htm',     'index.html',     'index.php',     'attach_config.php',     );  ##-----[ REPLACE WITH ]------------------------------------------#$skip_files = array(     '.',     '..',     '.htaccess',     'index.htm',     'index.html',     'index.php',     'vault_config.php',     'vault_config_def.tpl',     'attach_config.php',     );

and reupload includes/functions_vault.php

That is the file which defines the table.

when you did the security update, did you do the manual file edits, or use the pre-modded files?

[MWE_001]

Ok found the problem. Right before I ran that query for the blog mod, I also updated my phpBb security... In common.php there was a line right before the end of the code( ?> )

Code: Select all

include_once($phpbb_root_path . 'includes/functions_vault.'.$phpEx);

that was overwritten when i updated my security. I must have got fat fingered when I did this. I added that 1 particular line of code back in and all is fine in profile and the vault.........

I'm sure sorry for getting us offtopic. I knew it was coincidental that this occured. I should never do two things that close to each other so i can trouble shoot as I go. My apologies.. Now back to users getting banned whilst trying to create a blog....

[Dragonsys]

Now back to the blog mod..ha ha ha... Sorry for the trouble Dragonsys... I thought it was all just coincidental.

Now since I have run the update for the blog mod, I have went through every single file and checked ALL permissions, double checked my edits 5 times, and all is good. ECEPT when trying to upload a pic to display in the blog i get this........

Warning: copy(): SAFE MODE Restriction in effect. The script whose uid is 1013 is not allowed to access /home/midwest/domains/mweva.com/public_html/weblogs/upload/1 owned by uid 1003 in /home/midwest/domains/mweva.com/public_html/weblog_posting.php on line 841

I understand that the safemode error is in my php.ini file but the can not send headers is an editing mistake Im quite sure. Foundit has busted me out a few times on that one, I am using dreamweaver to do all of my editing and it is all good.............This never occured before I did the update. The rest of the mod works excellent.... Now in order to display a pic in the blog I have to upload it to my server and use the old [img] tags now................I am lost, I would revert back to the old version to trouble shoot, but I no longer have it <img>

[Jason Sanborn]

Actually, it is probably because of the Safe Mode as well. The Safe Mode caused the headers to be sent early, which caused all the other errors.

[MWE_001]

Thats what I was leaning towards as well........Da**it! have to get into shell afterall........I hate that..... <img> Bad part is I dont know how to locate the files or how to edit the ini file....

[Threat009]

How stable is this thing? I wanna try it, but the word beta could mean alot more updates

[MWE_001]

The Blog Mod is actually pretty cool if ya ask me, Beta or not.....My erros I reported are due to my php ini file, so I wouldnt let that scare ya any.. I believe if Im not mistaken there are 25 templates.....Only the Infinity template has been upgraded with the new release of the Blog Mod....It is in use in my site. My sig is the link. you can check it out if ya like. have a nice day/night.....Ray

I've been using a slightly older version on my site, and it works well. It does have some minor issues that were probably addressed in the newer release. I just haven't taken the time to update it. <img>

Thanks for the replies guys! Does the older version include the multiple templates? and Jason what issues did you have w/the older version? Anything of concern or worry? I think I may go w/the older version if there are more templates to choose from.

[Jason Sanborn]

The older version had bugs within the templates. Some images were corrupted and a couple files were missing. It was easily resolved by copying the missing files and images from other templates that had them, though.

I also have an issue with some people who aren't authorized to post blogs getting messages that they weren't authorized to view or reply to them, even though the permissions were set to Guests. This doesn't happen with everyone, either. I don't know if you can get the older version anymore, though.

Sounds like easy fixes, but your right, the only download I've found leads to the current beta. Well, guess I will wait for the new skins and hope they arrive soon

Dragonsys, I would like to test the mod in 1.4.1 beta how it coming along?

[color=red]Update]
I downloaded and installed the blog mod on one of my 1.4.1 test installs, and from my preliminary test it works perfectly with only a few edits required to the install instructions regards Findà¢Ãƒ ¢Ã¢â‚¬Å¡Ã‚ ¬Ãƒâ€šÃ‚ ¦ several of markers (the text you are required to find) are either altered of do not appear in the complete form as indicatedà¢Ãƒ ¢Ã¢â‚¬Å¡Ã‚ ¬Ãƒâ€šÃ‚ ¦

For my part I would have liked the block to appear inside the portal page similar to viewtopics/viewforums but I suppose I cant have everything still it could be done in the futureà¢Ãƒ ¢Ã¢â‚¬Å¡Ã‚ ¬Ãƒâ€šÃ‚ ¦
Many thanksà¢Ãƒ ¢Ã¢â‚¬Å¡Ã‚ ¬Ãƒâ€šÃ‚ ¦ Mike

[color=red]Security] I came across these should they be added? [url=http]Security Update Here![/url]

I had to install themes a couple of times? Changing themes requires setting the Load Template option?
I downloaded several themes but I note some images were corrupt... Perhaps some text file were also corrupt <img>
