| There is none last I checked. Its not terribly difficult to write, just a tad on the time consuming side. A lot of people have done the modifications, just no one has published it as as MOD. |

| What do you actually need the blog to do that it needs to connect to your snitz install? Let me know and I may have a solution. |

| Basically, just create a diary-like thread that the creating poster has full contol of - except for moderators/administrators - they can lock it for themselves, etc. I would like for it to be set up in one forum only. Administrative controls would be nice. |

Marcel has one, and for the life of me I thought the code was floating around either here or at oxle.com - but I can't seem to find it...
Others have put something together, but no one has really shared what they have done. Bitter with everyone else's lack of sharing, they seem to be doing the same. =/
I've had the idea on my mind to do something about that, but having an idea and having time are two completely different things.  |

Hmmm ... first link was broken ... and yes, I was intensely disappointed!!!
I did track it down, however. I have both the avatar and message icon mods installed, so that is not an issue. I do use a MS-SQL database, though. How much of an impediment do you think this might be???
Later today, barring any new posts to this thread that point me to parts unknown, I will give this a try and see what happens. |

Link is fixed.
If you're using MS SQL, I think you can use it without problem ; I've disabled the blog mod on oxle long after I migrated to MS SQL, so I can confirm it works on MS SQL. |

I am having a problem, Marcel ... I registered on your forum so that I could download the two files, but the first presents me with a log-in screen that doesn't work --- I cannot enter any characters into the user name field, and the password field is greyed-out.
The second file, the admin add-on, comes up file not found. 
Thus, I have not downloaded either one.
Edit ---> OK, figured out first problem [not logged in - I thought I was] |

Thanks, Marcel ... I checked with him and he did reply, but he no longer has it - so, a dead end.
Anyway, I have implemented your MOD on my forum as per the instructions. Pretty straight forward. But, I have encounted two issues I do not know how to correct:
1 - I was getting this error:
Microsoft VBScript runtime error '800a01f9'
Invalid or unqualified reference
/messageboard/forum.asp, line 44
I looked over at your forum and found this solution to another problem:
quote:
if NOT Request.QueryString("FORUM_ID") = "" then
if Forum_ID - strWeblogsForum = 0 and mlev <> 4 then
Response.Redirect "weblogs.asp"
end if
end if
Replace with:
code :
if NOT Request.QueryString("FORUM_ID") = "" then
if Request.QueryString("FORUM_ID") - strWeblogsForum = 0 and mlev <> 4 then
Response.Redirect "weblogs.asp"
end if
end if
I actually did the reverse ... that second bit is now in the MOD as I downloaded it. Putting it back to the first bit fixed it. However, the posts look just like a normal topic. I see no difference. Is that WAD?
2 - How can I avoid having blog posts show up in Active Topics? |

Actually, upon further review, THIS is the code in the MOD:
quote:
if NOT Request.QueryString("FORUM_ID") = "" then
if .QueryString("FORUM_ID") - strWeblogsForum = 0 and mlev <> 4 then
Response.Redirect "weblogs.asp"
end if
end if
That is different than the code that I quoted in the above post:
quote:
if NOT Request.QueryString("FORUM_ID") = "" then
if Request.QueryString("FORUM_ID") - strWeblogsForum = 0 and mlev <> 4 then
Response.Redirect "weblogs.asp"
end if
end if
Using the red bit worked for me, though I had a little problem from the additional star level mod - or whatever it is called - that I had installed. I managed to fix that, so I THINK it looks the way it should, though I'll be tweaking the header and cell colors.
So, problem one solved.
I just need help on problem 2 ... the active topics issue.
Thank you! |

You could add a line to the SQL query that pulls up all active topics, such as this:
strSql = strSql & " AND F.FORUM_ID <> " & strWeblogsForum & " "
(Pseudo code!)
I never build something like that into my active.asp, so you have to try it out. |
