The FamilyForum Blogs have been re-activated! :2thumbs:
They were off for some time because of the forum software updates we've been going through and I got kind of sidetracked and didn't do the file edits needed to get the blog software integrated into the forum system, but it's all better now. :bigteeth:
All FF members are entitled to have your own Blog pages, all you need do is click on the Blogs link at the top of the forum page, select the "Create your Blog" link and then enable your blog as seen in the two screenshots below. There are lots of settings and options for you the play around with, including posting your blog for all to see, or setting it so that only you can see it.
I encourage each of you to give it a try, your entries can be about anything from the serious to the funny... you can read some of my old ones for inspiration if you like.
Enjoy... :08:

Hey Rose, look for the button on the links bar at the top of each page. I'll add the link to the set in the top right corner of each page as well.
Here's the url:

Whoops! :yikes:
Didn't have the permissions turned on. :opps:
Try it now.
-
Thanks I can see them now, but it still dont work for me :thud:
Database Error
Please try again. If you come back to this error screen, report the error to an administrator.
This is what happened before if you remember
-
Did the same for me as 'testmember' Les.
Let me check into this and see if I can fix it.
-
Not able to find any issues in the settings so I've posted a help request on the Blog site.
Members get 'Database Error' when trying to activate blog. (http://portamx.com/topic_1558.0.html)
-
Still waiting for a fix on this issue... no progress so far.
It's throwing these errors:
http://www.ourfamilyforum.org/FamilyForum/index.php?action=pmxblog;sa=view;arch=1260594060;uid=80
Apply Filter: Only show the errors with the same message
8: Undefined index: hidebaronedit
Apply Filter: Only show the errors from this file
File: /home/kenkayjm/public_html/FamilyForum/Sources/PmxBlog.php
Line: 925

It appears we are missing a value in the db structure.
Now I just have to figure out how to get that entry into the db table.
Please check your table pmxblog_manager id the colum hidebaronedit exist.
If not create this after the colum blogcreated
Colum definition: hidebaronedit int(11) NOT NULL default 0

What the... That woman! She should have given you an updated db file or query to run to fix it. That is why I don't use her mods. If she doesn't know is one thing but the mod still needs to be fixed. I'll bet there was no mention of that.
Do you need instructions on this?
-
The quote that's in my msg above is the full response from her to my question. :disted:
Yepp, I need to know how to insert that column into the db table.
-
Fixed! :08:
... Please try to activate your blog to make sure it works.
Just checked her site and found that antechinus had posted some directions... worked good.
Select the "Structure" tab. Underneath the table of information there is an option to add fields. By default it says "add 1 field at end of table". You can just select "Go" as it doesn't matter where in the table the extra column is added.
This will open up a list into which you add the characteristics of the column you wish to create. You want to enter:
1/ Fieldname - hidebaronedit
2/ Type - INT
3/ Null - Not null
4/ Default - 0
All the other boxes can be left blank. Now click "Save". All done. ;)

OK Ken looks like its now working, nice work Ken :bigthumb:
Now how do I add content? :innocent:

Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded in /home/kenkayjm/public_html/FamilyForum/Sources/Subs.php on line 822
It really dont like me does it :(
-
Ken I think its maybe to long, its messing up big time, just delete it, I'll try with a shorter one later.
-
Your blog is still showing as 'not active'.

-
I've activated you blog, but something is still off... me still working on it. :innocent:
-
It seems to be working correctly Les.
It can't be seen by guests, but members can see and comment and there are no errors popping up in the log.
-
I get this when I try to view an article...

AS 'testmember' I can view content OK using that link.
Try clicking on 'Lesmond's Blog' to see what happens.

tried that too. and get the same...
Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded in /home/kenkayjm/public_html/FamilyForum/Sources/Subs.php on line 822
and if I click on Launch manager I get....
Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded in /home/kenkayjm/public_html/FamilyForum/Sources/PmxBlog.php on line 1002
-
This is strange.
There are no errors in the log and the testmember can access any blog with no problems.
Let me change your membergroup to see what effect that may have...
OK, changed your group to 'Family', give that a try and then I'll change it back.
-
Clicking on any of these, gives this...

-
This is a puzzle.
OK, I've removed your blog... please start over and activate your blog again and see what happens this time.
Ps: Your member group was reset as well. :disted:
-
:2thumbs: My blog seems to be up and running Thanks Ken!
-
Might be permissions for the staff group.
Ken, I was going to tell you the same on how to add the fields but with images.
-
The permissions all seem to correct and it only seems to be Les's account that's doing it. Les, could you ask Lisa to activate her blog to see if it's the same for her?
Steve, what are you saying about the fields and images?
-
Les, did you try to publish an entry to your new blog yet?
-
Sorry, yeah I did manage to do it now, I think that the one I did before was to long (as in words/letters) so thats why it sent the blog weird! you should try it with some long text, see what happens.
Be busy getting stuff ready for Lisa B/day

Lisa says tyvm to all :)
-
Steve, what are you saying about the fields and images?
Just that I was going to show you how to do it with images.
-
Les those mushrooms look delicious! :bigthumb:
I'm kind of dense this morning Steve... maybe you'll have to show me before I understand. :opps:

Yes, they do. Good luck with it. :)

Okie, dokie.

First, select the database (if you have more than one) and then the table in question on the left side of phpmyadmin. I've selected "_battle" database and the "smf_arcade_games" table.
(https://www.ourfamilyforum.org/FamilyForum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi47.tinypic.com%2F2j5atqb.png&hash=b38ffd1e2eef9bfd34cc36ca48a5768e371877de)
Then at the top right of the same screen, click the "Structure" tab.
(https://www.ourfamilyforum.org/FamilyForum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi48.tinypic.com%2Ff9h6op.png&hash=b845e6f657de9b44424c9a68b1374194f170991a)
You should see a list of all of the fields for that table on the right. Scroll down right below the fields to begin adding your new field. To make things easier I chose a field at the bottom of the screen near where you can add your field. The line you want is shown with the red arrow. As you can see, you can choose to add it at the beginning or end of the of the table as well as being able to chose exactly where to add it.
(https://www.ourfamilyforum.org/FamilyForum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi49.tinypic.com%2F2lb03yd.png&hash=7d0490345806904fbe94697fd344abc7c933906c)
On the next screen is where you can add the elements of your field. When you are done, click "Save". If you wish to add more fields, select the number of extra fields you wish to add then click "Go".
(https://www.ourfamilyforum.org/FamilyForum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi45.tinypic.com%2Fvq1wzp.png&hash=a440c658872eb3cea26e43cc9162e08a9f85f754)
That's all there is to it. Your new field should be placed exactly where you were instructed to place it.
Sorry, it took so long. Family stopped over. LOL
-
That makes it much easier to understand.
I have done some db edits before, but have a very low understanding of how to navigate the different panels, this helps a lot.
Thanks Steve. :2thumbs:
-
No problem. :)
I'm not sure if there should be info in it or not when it is installed or what is supposed to go in it after one creates a blog so it is possible that you might have to run the db installer again.

Lisa's dinner here (http://www.ourfamilyforum.org/FamilyForum/index.php?topic=2289.msg7228#msg7228)

Looks like we'll be waiting for a while to get a fix for our remaining Blog issues on the date showing up on the wrong day. :cry2:
It had been over a week since the last post to my help topic over on PortaMx so yesterday I bumped the topic, asking if there was any progress. Today Feline answered me, saying that currently she has not enough time to do an update.
-
Thanks for the update.
-
Typical of her. :P
-
Feline just commented on her site that she would be doing an update to the PMxBlog after the Easter Holidays. :bigthumb:
Ich denke es gibt ein paar probleme mit der darstellung der titlebars und sonstige CSS kleinigkeiten.
Nach ostern werde ich mich um ein Update k?mmern ...
