Don't know off the top of my head. Its always been my intention to look into either writing one based off of Snitz or integrating some other one, I just haven't had the time.
I'll see if I can dig up links to some of the packages I'd downloaded and just haven't looked into.<

Hi there. New to website build / forum setup. Have installed Snitz recently and looking for a Blog plug-in to expand the member Bio area. Tossed up between VBulletin which now has a member blog add-on and Snitz. Because my project is a non profit making forum concept (cost are coming of my checkbook), I chose to go down the open source path. I also strongly believe Forum member Blog (expanded bio) area will be the next progression in forums. Snitz need to move forward in this area. Either by coding an add-on OR partnering with third party.
Has anyone successfully integrated a third blog party plug-in. Imagine you would have to link members table with the blog page admin area?

Have looked at the following low cost Blog applications which could be added to Snitz. http://www.hostforest.co.uk/Products/blog.asp

Very cheep for a site license

Your thoughts – desperately looking for a member blog area solution

Thanks

John

Well, I can't help much on MOD resizable, but my blogs are also based on Snitz user structure www.chip.com.tr/blog/selcuk for example, at least might give you an idea<

Well I think we, (I know I do) want a facility so our members can do their own blogs on our site, if possible direct from the forum, but if not then an easy to use blog facility so all our members can have their own blog if wanted.<

Hi SiSL

That’s one very cool Snitz site setup. Not understanding the language, your blog setup is what I am looking for, an area where members can write a simple diary style journal on personal interests / activities with pictures [basically an extended member Bio area kept very simple].

Are you using a 3rd party Blog application with Snitz member integration or created your own code?
Cheers, John<

Nah, just created my own code. Basically uses Snitz posting, Snitz formatting on messages etc. so users are not aliented. Rest are seperate table for blogs, seperate table for comments. (And ofcourse, some ISAPI rewrite for allowing every user seperate fake directory...<

any chance we can have a look at your code? maybe just maybe someone would be able to make it usable for a multi blog engine.<
