    oh my fault, i guess i had earlier an overdose with pop, probably thats the reason for the fuddle :D
  • spodespode
    Why is it in a folder called BlogThis-2008-08-04 instead of just "BlogThis". Is it supposed to cope with differing folder names? Perhaps I have something explicit in there...
  • yesahasureokyesahasureok
    just unzipped and uploaded as it was. but it works now, i changed it to BlogThis.
    the devil is in the details :/

    hey spode,

    is there a way or setting that members/users are only able to tag their "own" topics ? (so no comments or such only their very very own topics)

    thx
  • spodespode
    This is something I was suggesting earlier - I'm going to add this in.

    how to increase the character limit.when write blog i always have to separate my passages to 2 commets or more. thx
  • spodespode
    That's a general setting for the forum - they are for all intents and purposes, standard posts. If you check in your global settings, you'll find the character limit for posts.

    is there away so that the blog online shows the first 300 words then says "Click here to read on"?
  • spodespode
    Not at the moment Simon, sorry!
  • SimonbSimonb
    I was thinking about that. You could add that feature

    This function will not cut words up, like substr normally does
    function cutText($string, $length) { while ($string{$length} != " ") { $length--; } return substr($string, 0, $length); }

    Some thing like that would work, then it can be set in a setting what length and to call it
    echo cutText($what ever the content variable is , $The length set in the admin

    I'll see what I can do! I'm trying to launch a new site at the moment, and that's taking most of my time.
  • SimonbSimonb
    Ok thanks, i will have a look in your code as well when i have time
  • SimonbSimonb
    ok i added the function in on my site, but the problem is if the blog post is less that then minimal length it courses lots of errors

    Is there a way to remove blogged topics from the main discussion grid so they only show up in the blog tab?
  • Lussumo BotLussumo Bot New
    Version number changed from 1.08 to 1.09.
  • Lussumo BotLussumo Bot New
    Uploaded version 1.09 of BlogThis.
  • spodespode
    Simon - I've added the "read more" facility to the latest version, plus the permissions for only blogging your own posts.

    Manda - currently, no. I imagine you could modify the SQL for the discussion list to exclude any with blogged posts in, but it would require a join with the comments field, so might be a little on the taxing side.
  • SimonbSimonb
    urm i set it and it does not seem to cut the post up to what i set
  • spodespode
    1) It cuts it up to the number of words, not characters (just making sure you're not confused).

    2) Did you replace the whole folder with the new code? I know you said you modified your own.
  • SimonbSimonb
    i did replace the lot, my code was on my test server. I will play aground a bit more.
