Board3

thanks, it is working

I;'m going to try this tomorrow, really appreciate this dan. id do it noww but im a tad too drunk lol >.<

User Blog Mod has been updated to 1.0.10 last week.

I can confirm that this block works with the following versions of User Blog Mod
1.0.8 - Working 100%
1.0.9 - Working(Unconfirmed Bug - minor style issues if installed as first version)
1.0.10 - Working 100%

What I'd like to do with this next is take the 'Total Blog Entries' from the bottom of the index.php and add it to the Statistics block.

Thanks alot for the code guys, it works great! I changed the output from 5 to 3 so it doesn't take up too much space on my portal.

---

• open root/portal/block/additional_blocks.php
  find:

  Code: Select all

  if (!defined('IN_PORTAL'))
  {
      exit;
  } 

  add after:

  Code: Select all

  include($phpbb_root_path . 'portal/block/blog_block.'.$phpEx); 

• Create a new File, called blog_block.php, contend:

  Code: Select all

  <?php
  
  if (!defined('IN_PHPBB'))
  {
     exit;
  }
  
  if (!defined('IN_PORTAL'))
  {
     exit;
  }
  
      // Output Blog Entries
          $blog_limit = 5;
  
          $user->add_lang(array('mods/blog/common', 'mods/blog/view'));
          include($phpbb_root_path . 'blog/functions.' . $phpEx);
          $blog_data = new blog_data();
  
          $recent_blog_ids = $blog_data->get_blog_data('recent', 0, array('limit' => $blog_limit));
          $blog_data->get_user_data(false, true);
          update_edit_delete();
          if ($recent_blog_ids !== false)
          {
             foreach ($recent_blog_ids as $id)
             {
                $template->assign_block_vars('recent_blogs', array_merge($blog_data->handle_user_data(blog_data::$blog[$id]['user_id']), $blog_data->handle_blog_data($id, $config['user_blog_text_limit'])));

Hello everyone,
As I wrote in my previous post, I'm using board3 + the blog mod.
Talking about the blog mod:
- How can I put a post in the embed code of youtube?
- There is a html editor for the posts?
- Is possible to show in the "blog mod block" a preview of the post? To let you know, as a blogger's function <--more-->
