Category Roles allows you to set more granular permissions. It works just fine with this extension.

As with Tex: When not signed in and viewing blog, clicking the sign in button results in an error.

Notice: Undefined index: CssClass in .../home/themes/people_banner.php on line 5

there is an option in the blog preferences to hide blog posts from Discussion list

Yep, I know there's an option for hiding blog posts in the discussion list, but in fact I was speaking about the Latest Discussions Prime list. I'd just like to know if there's a way to hide draft posts in this list, not in the main discussions list. Or maybe should I drop this extension and use Nuggets with a specific code instead?

I looked at the Blog add-on and it adds a field Draft to the Discussion table. Since it defaults to '0', I assume that means not a draft. So, you need to add an additional WHERE to the select in the LatestDiscussionPrime add-on, probably after the line:

$s->AddWhere('cm', 'AuthUserID', '', $D->Context->Session->User->UserID, '=');
==> $s->AddWhere('t', 'Draft', '', '0', '=');


Oops, I spoke too fast - in fact, looks like the draft is hidden only for his autor. I logged in as another user and tried as a guest, I still see it in both cases.

Edit: Ok, I added what you suggested also after line 48, like this :
$s->AddOrderBy('DateCreated', 't', 'desc');
$s->AddWhere('t', 'Draft', '', '0', '=');
...and now it seems fine :)

When I install in my extensions, the blog page show errors:

Please help, I'm a newbie...Thank you

I did install the files in the Extension folder and activated it under Extensions. I already change it // to / see below

I get SQL errors.

I activated the Blog extension and am met with the following error message:

Notice: Undefined index: Draft in /home/lookhere/public_html/forum/library/Framework/Framework.Class.SqlBuilder.php on line 251

Mean anything to anyone?

Hmmm.... Same here LookHere... Gah!

Hmmm... I still need a fix for this:

Anyone know why?

It makes it work mate!

Sorry I couldn't resist, too much wine with dinner tonight!

I'll shut up now and go back for dessert!

The only way it works for me without getting that error:

Notice: Undefined index: CssClass in .../themes/people_banner.php on line 5

Is by adding these lines to the .htaccess file:

RewriteRule ^extension/category/([0-9]+)$ extension.php?CategoryID=$1 [QSA,L]
RewriteRule ^extension/category/([0-9]+)/$ extension.php?CategoryID=$1 [QSA,L]
RewriteRule ^extension/discussion/([0-9]+)$ extension.php?DiscussionID=$1 [QSA,L]
RewriteRule ^extension/discussion/([0-9]+)/$ extension.php?DiscussionID=$1 [QSA,L]
RewriteRule ^extension/([0-9]+)/([0-9]+)$ extension.php?CategoryID=$1&page=$2 [QSA,L]
RewriteRule ^extension/([0-9]+)/([0-9]+)/$ extension.php?CategoryID=$1&page=$2 [QSA,L]

Assuming you're using friendly urls

So everything is solved now.
one person asked if it is for admin only. I have forgotten whether i made it for admins only or every member.
I'll have to look at the code again
will get back to this

First thanks for the excellent extension.

I am using Blog with CategoryRoles and am finding that the 'Start a new blog post' is visible for members who only have 'ReadOnly' access to the 'Blog' category. Am I missing something or is this an issue?

NO idea how you would do this.
why would u wnat it outside vanilla?
can't u use wordpress instead

got this error while using with Ajax quote:
Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in /www/forum/extensions/AjaxQuote/default.php on line 60

also got some problem with attachments ext (attachment not shown in blog, only in discussion view) and discussion tags (completelly incompatible)...

one more issue: latest blog header not shown in nugget on discussion page despite all others

i've disabled blog so far because dudes needs this site working... also i met a problem that after disabling it, some users sees a "discussion not found" message when trying to create new discussion (not a blog post).
but i got an idea to make a whole site on vanilla (despite the modx is cool too - easy keywords and metategs edit is serious advantage for seo-ing the static info) - vanilla allows to create a true clubing atmosphere and it's very cool soft too. :)
about the discussion tags compatibility i might be hurried, sorry, i think appearing troubles follows of the dis.tags extension itself (0.3.1) and my newbie status to vanilla and sites creation.
btw, anybody thought about an extension compatibility discussion creating and adding kinda table for it?

sorry, i meant while ajax quote enabled when was trying to add a blog post it wrote me this stuff.
when i disabled a-quote, it's ok to add a blog, but actually i don't remeber whether was it fine with simple discussions :)
i'll get in touch with it (and ext-s' compabl.) more closely, for now there is a lot of admin's routine

hmm it wasn't designed to this. although it is a good idea. it will require some work though.

adding it now won't make it backwards compatible. what about people who r already using just one category for blog

Not sure why this is happening, but if I use HTML tags in my blog posts they don't take effect, whereas I'm not experiencing this issue when using HTML tags in normal discussions. Any idea?

Hey is there a way to get this blog extension to work outside vanilla, by including certain vanilla files? IF so, how could i do this... ???

Use the code from extensions.php without lines 34 to 38. Hardcode "?PostBackAction=Blog".
Or even simpler: just remove line 34 to 38 and then include extensions.php?PostBackAction=Blog via an iframe into your other page.
