I wasn't expecting anyone to try to upload the paid version over the free one so soon :)
My build system generates both at the same time, so in the future they will be in sync. Thanks for the comment, and glad you found a workaround.

I hadn't exactly planned on it. :P

I was trying to upload it to the test site just to play around. Someone here kept chatting away and kept handing me the phone. The end result was I mistakenly converted my paid version to the free version. And then needed to find away to upgrade the free to the paid. o_O

Good news though.... They work :D :ROFLMAO:

Here's my first major suggestion in awhile: Featured Blogs Slider with Ratings: http://xfaddons.com/threads/featured-blogs-slider-with-ratings.189/

Thanks for even posting a screenshot

I did add a self-suggestion to have promoted blogs, since even the vBulletin blogs had that feature (promoted entry), and it really sounds useful. In my original concept I was even going to add a BD Widget so you can promote to the homepage or to the widget (and you can place the BD widget in any page with a sidebar).

Thanks for posting the suggestion in such a details matter including a screenshot

  • Included an uninstaller inside extras, this will enable you to completely delete the addon
  • Included a CLI installer
Bug fixes
  • Fixed a bug with generating the BlogKey through the cron job

Seems like 1.0.30 is missing from your site. Can only see 1.0.28 and everything before it. (see screen shot)

@Alfa1 , In the latest version, in the "extras" folder you are going to find two files

uninstall.php
This can be opened from the web, and it will perform uninstallation of the blogs add-on
it will remove all the tables and references for the add-on

install_blog_cli.php
You can run this from the shell as

Code: 
$ php install_blog_cli.php

This will install the blog, I am hoping that you get much better results with this. Let me know if it succeed and any exceptions that it throw
 
Do you know if there's any issue running this side by side with XI Blogs for testing purposes? They don't seem to share a route from what I can tell...

There shouldn't be any issue. Intentionally I prefix everything (routes, content types, code, phrases, template), so this can be safely used along with XI Blog.

Other than it would look funny having two "Blogs" tabs on the navigation of course, nothing else should be a conflict
 
Cheers

This is only on our test site. I still need to decide which one we use and the easiest way was to test them both out.
 
In the usergroup permissions, am I correct in assuming that "Can edit blog entries:" means they can edit their own blog entries (not other people's)
 
Also is it currently possible to have a custom images/custom css for each category?

What I'd really like to do is if a blog post is in a certain category then it displays a unique image for that category, similar to how thread prefixes works.

Yes, it is only for their entries. There is a separate section for moderation permissions below.

Not out of the box, but you can probably start getting clever with CSS, depending onwhat you wan to change.

Give it some time. That is updated with a cron job (I don't recall if daily or hourly). It will probably get updated in a bit :)
Or go to Tools -> Cron Entries
And run it manually

Same error I reported above you. For now I think we just wait for @Rigel Kentaurus to update this.
