MyBB Community Forums

If this is a repeat...am sorry...

Is it possible for users to have a blog system on their profiles??? Where they can post blog entries and have comments...and their buddylist can show up in the sidebars or something...or maybe set the permissions to buddies only or registered members only or for everyone to comment or view or both?

I mean is it possible for users to have some sort of blog system on their profiles or even on the forum itself?

I know there's a 'guest book' mod... That should suffice for the comments. I don't know of a plugin that puts a blog in each profile...

i havent seen one so far which is why am requestin it here... Smile

Blog & Profile Wink

Include customize css (background, color), background music.
If you want Blog & Profile, I will share my code for you.

Demo my profile & blog (mybb 1.4.2). It isn't a blog, but it's same a blog.
http://www.vnsay.com/hoctienganh/user-1.html

That layout is pretty bad.

Been asking, hoping and praying here for a profile blog mod for years. There's very little interest in developing one.

Well I talked to nickman about his profile mod(not blogs) and he said there is a problem with it.

If you change it to much plugins for profiles won't work any more. As well it's how MyBB works Toungue

Yeah, I hear ya. Doesn't seem like there's much interest in expanding on the user profile with MyBB, though. Been like that since I started using the software. I think it's a missed opportunity, but that's just me. I see a lot of modifications that add user info in the postbit, but don't duplicate that same info in the profile, which is completely beyond me as to why they don't.

Anyways, a user profile blog system has been done with different other forum software, so it's doable, but I do recognize that it must be insanely difficult to code and maintain since many of the free options for vb and the like have been abandoned since.

I'd also like some sort of blog for the members...

Just not sure how it should look like Wink

myb123- will you share your code? Smile

It isn't difficult, but you need connect database and query table. You should back up database before do it, event error, you can backup again. Not harmful!
Note:
1.This code for SEO forum, if you turn off SEO, you need fix some url yourself and translate Vietnamese to your language.
2.Your TABLE_PREFIX is mybb_

Install:
1. Edit your file member.php in root forum.

Find code:

$plugins->run_hooks("member_profile_end");

Add before this code:
