[Module] Recent VB Blogs

[Oneback]

This is a module that will show the last 15 recent blog titles on your portal page, however that number is editable.

This is my first add on so please leave any feed back.

Installation is pretty straight forward go into CMPS Admin and upload the module. You must have VB Blogs for this to work.

I am running VB 3.6.8, VBA 3.0, and the latest VB Blogs

This is pretty basic at this point as it just displays the most recent blog entries.

Looks great.

But where can I change the number of blog posts to display?

If you go into ../modules/vb_blogs.php

In the MYSQL query you will see LIMIT, change the number after that to the amount of listings you want.

If there is anything anyone would want added let me know and I'll put some more work into it.

Has this module been tested on the latest versions yet (vBulletin v3.6.8 and vbAdvanced v3.0 RC2)?

I added the hack on my site and it works well. I only have one blog post so it really hasn't been through the ringer yet.

It would be great if it looked like the "recent threads" module that comes with CMPS with the author and the date/time it was posted.

Check it out at www.politicalinformer.com.

Those are the versions I have on my site when I created it and was working perfectly on my site. I'm redoing some things on my portal so I don't have it showing right at the second.

I can add that in there if you'd like. I made it like the lean version since thats what I was using on my site.

I tried doing it myself, but I can't get it to work. Thanks for your troubles.

thanks for your replies everyone. I installed this on Friday, and it is working great! Very simple and clean, just the way that I like it

Thanks - works perfect on my install - I changed the query to bring back 5

A couple of improvements I would work on (I'm going to try them myself)

add:

1. blog author
2. author avatar
3. post date

Thanks again!

Does this work on vb 3.7?

I am recieving this error (using latest version of VB and CMPS).

Any ideas on how I can fix this?

Database error in vBulletin 3.6.8:

SELECT blogid, title, username, dateline, userid, views
FROM vb3_blog
WHERE blog.state='visible' and blog.pending=0
ORDER BY dateline DESC

My guess is this is happening because they changed a few things with the latest release of VB Blogs. I'll take a look at it as soon as I get a chance. I am in the middle of moving to a new house and putting together a league hosting application for my board. I'll try and get to it soon.

Does anyone have this working with the latest version of vb blog? 1.0.2 (i believe it is)
