The User Blog Mod version 1.0.1 has been released.

There have actually been quite a few fixes and changes in this version.

Adding an uninstaller. You can now uninstall the stuff added in the database by going to blog/uninstall.php and following it's instructions.

Outputting the blog link and text to PROFILE_BLOG, and the link to U_VIEW_BLOG in the parent block as well with add_blog_links.

Adding a new option in the ACP to disable showing the blog link in the Custom Profile Fields in view topic/view profile.

Fixing a potential bug that could affect some browsers when trying to submit the UCP form.

Fixing the bug with the smilies popup in the UCP for subsilver2 (http://www.lithiumstudios.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=41&t=683)

Fixing a hole where users could rate items higher or lesser than the max/min allowed rating.

Fixing the alt text on rating images.

Fixing a minor overlook which resulted in a big problem with EAMI. When updating, you should also run this (there is a note about this in the update instructions as well): http://www.lithiumstudios.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=691

Fixing a bug in pagination where the last page link was not going to the actual last page.

Adding an output for the total blog entries in the header.

Fixing the blog_posting_layout to get rid of a javascript error when submitting.

Fixing the T_BLOG_TEMPLATE_PATH, etc (exact change noted below in NOTE FOR BLOG STYLERS). Adding a / at the end of them, like they should have had in the first place.

The User Blog Mod 1.0.0 package has finally been released!

After nearly 1 year of work, 42 Alpha packages, 5 Beta packages, and 2 Release Candidates I am happy to release the 1.0.0 version for all to use.

From now on out for the 1.0.x line there are unlikely to be any changes to add or change any of the existing features. There are currently no plans to continue adding features to create a 1.2.x version, but it is possible in the future.

The main ability of this system will be how easily it will be able to be forked into other projects. There are plans to create a fork of this into a gallery mod and possibly into a knowledge base and download center.

RC2 has now been posted.

It include a few minor changes and minor bug fixes.

The biggest change is the new function that is included for the plugin system. The new function makes it easier to develop and use plugins which use their own templates. It also prevents errors occurring when using alternate blog styles which do not have the template required for that plugin and uses the prosilver template for it instead (all blog styles should be designed to accept prosilver template sections for the left menu so they may use the default).


Also I have just released a new plugin for Blog Tags. This plugin only works on RC2 and newer.

Welcome to the first Release Candidate of the User Blog Mod!

I would like to give a big thanks to all those who tested it during the beta/alpha packages and all others who have helped me get it this far.

Beta 3 of the User Blog Mod was just released.

The main changes with this version include an auto version checker for the ACP, and language file clean ups (you'll notice most of the places that mentioned Replies has been changed to Comments, and Blogs have been changed to Blog Entries.
