Re: User Diaries 1.1

Looks like a great mod and I might implement it, however one feature that makes the most sense to me...
- Adding a list of the latest 5 diary entry titles to each users profile page so when you view a users profile you see...

Latest User Diary entries:
- 1/1/2008 I ate a hotdog today
- 1/1/2008 I hate school
- 1/1/2008 Tell me what you think about this
View all >

Re: User Diaries 1.1

You might be able to make use of the diary_extern.php page I created for this mod. It can display the latest 5/10/15 etc diary entries on any page. With some simple modifications you would be able to set it to display the latest diary entries of each user in their profile.

Re: User Diaries 1.1

I'm installing this mod but one feature I recommend is directory hashing on the image folders. I have 30,000+ members and even with only a few thousand highly active members writing diaries, the images folder will get bogged down.

P.s.  Directory hashing is also lacking in punbb avatars folder, I made a custom solution to this myself since my avatars folder had 30,000+ images in it.

Re: User Diaries 1.1

Hi. Thank for that...

But I 've got a problem with 'Image' BBCode

I entered this BBCode but my image is not inserted (I see in my Diary, this BBCode below in fact!)

[img]http://www.xyz.com/images/photo-0023.jpg[/img]

Other BBCodes seem Ok

PS: FluxBB 1.2.21 (BBCode allowed) - User Diarie 1.1.2 (BBCode allowed too ;-))

Great but when I tried...

Warning: main(PUN_ROOTinclude/parser.php) [function.main]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/mylogin/www/forum/diary_extern.php on line 22

Fatal error: main() [function.require]: Failed opening required 'PUN_ROOTinclude/parser.php' (include_path='.:/usr/share/php4:/home/xxx/yyy/zzz') in /home/mylogin/www/forum/diary_extern.php on line 22

an idea ? (php5 is it required ?)

Ps: This "PUN_ROOTinclude/parser.php" is strange ;-) not ? may be with an "/" before include

Re: User Diaries 1.1

The 'show all user's entries' page is supposed to be a compact view of that user's diary entries - that's why it does not include line breaks.

I also did not allow it to display img tag BBCode, since the idea was to display only one image per diary entry (the uploaded image).

But if you really want to do that do that, here is how (but I don't recommend it):

#
#---------[ 1. OPEN ]---------------------------------------------------------
#

diary.php


#
#---------[ 2. FIND (line: 737) ]---------------------------------------------
#

//============= START PARSER =============
...
...
...
//============= END PARSER =============


#
#---------[ 3. REPLACE WITH ]---------------------------------------------------
#

    // Perform the main parsing of the message (BBCode, smilies, censor words etc)
    $text = parse_message($text, 0);
    echo $text;


#
#---------[ 4. FIND (line: 312) ]---------------------------------------------
#

//============= START PARSER =============
...
...
...
//============= END PARSER =============


#
#---------[ 5. REPLACE WITH ]---------------------------------------------------
#

    // Perform the main parsing of the message (BBCode, smilies, censor words etc)
    $text = parse_message($text, 0);

Re: User Diaries 1.1

Perfect... It's work! Thanks a lot for this code modification ;-) I understand your advices but for a "small" project where I know all Users who are allowed to post diaries and they are not talkative ;-) this feature is really interresting... Thank

May be! a better solution will be to cut all that... is not ?
Like there is here (diary_extern.php) in fact...

$UD_snip_entry = "200";  // Shortens string - default = 200

But it is to difficult to do ;-) for me

Re: User Diaries 1.1

Actually very easy - you can just make use of the snippet() function found in diary_extern.php

Here it is:

function snippet($text,$length=20,$tail="...") {
    $text = trim($text);
    $txtl = strlen($text);
    if($txtl > $length) {
        for($i=1;$text[$length-$i]!=" ";$i++) {
            if($i == $length) {
                return substr($text,0,$length) . $tail;
            }
        }
        $text = substr($text,0,$length-$i+1) . $tail;
    }
    return $text;
}
