Better Blogs [Deleted]

The blog home page doesn't show if a blog entry displayed htere has comments or not. A comment count would be nice.

@Rigel Kentaurus : have you a solution for the attachment import bug from vB4?
Click to expand...

Not yet, I haven't looked at it because it requires me to install a sample vBulletin 4 database to fix the import issue. Not an issue, but requires quite some time.

I had the previous update in the pipeline and the attachments bug is next in my priority list. I think I would probably just create an official vBulletin 4 importer. If it doesn't hit the release next week definitely would be the week after.

The funny thing is, the previous importer was working for a while, I would be interested in seeing when vB changed the attachments table at all just for my reference. I hope my vB member access is still valid, haven't used it for a big while :)

Your importer imports blog attachments from a addon for vB3. Only vB4 (suite) had a built-in blog system.

My problem is, I need to import the attachments retrospectively. I hope that goes with the bug fix ...

Yes, the import code is buggy ...

PHP: 
        $attachments = $sDb->fetchAll($sDb->limit("
                SELECT attachmentid, userid, dateline, filename, counter, blogid
                FROM " . $prefix . "blog_attachment
                WHERE attachmentid > " . $sDb->quote($start) . "
                    AND visible = 'visible'
                ORDER BY attachmentid
            ", $options['limit']
        ));

The table blog_attachment is not exists, the right name is $prefix . "attachment" (without "blog_"). And, blog attachments have the contenttypeid = 15 (posts =1, albums=8).

@Rigel Kentaurus : please fix the vb import and let us import only the attachments again ...

Could you please try with the newest version 1.0.37? I added an importer for vBulletin 4.2.2

@Rigel Kentaurus Please fix the template modification "navigation_visitor_tab_xfab_1" - it inserts the "My Blog" link on the account page in a very sloppy way. I really dislike this. You'll notice that when hovering over, it selects the entire pane instead of just the "My Blog" link. You'll also notice that it appears more upwards than the others.

I have fixed this for the next release
 
I'm using Better Blogs for xenforo 1.2 and recently noticed that one of my users created 2 blog entries and both are not showing up on the blog home page. I can view the users entries only if I'm logged in as admin. I've also tried viewing the users blog entries as a guest to the forum and they do not show up. I've checked user permissions and thats all good. I gave all users the ability to view blogs and read blog comments.

Your help is appreciated

Thanks,
Jonah

I see. Since you already did a production import, then re-importing won't work for you

I cannot take on the task personally, but you should be able to get a developer to run just the stepAttachments() step of the importer, which would bring in the attachments. The data is there after all.

Sorry, I don't know what that refers to

Definitely a bug in the software, which is now fixed. If you run the import again it should bring the attachments and everything else.

I am sorry I can't do more, but I really cannot go into the individual installations and fix the users particular issues. The same can be said with theme compatibility, addon conflicts and even web server configuration. That falls to the admins responsibility.
