Okay guys, this is my first Web Application that is dependent on MyBB.

Demo/Live application

License
Currently it's using a Creative Commons non commercial no distributions of modifcations license, it will most likely change to another one in the future, possibly GNU GPL v3.

About installtion
When installing, make sure to use the same database as your MyBB installation
When it asks you for your path to the MyBB instaltion, do it relative to where "./config.php" is located, Ex:
(BTW, I use CPanel, so it I do it like this)
Your MyBB installation is here:
/public_html/forums/

And MyBB:Blog is here:
/public_html/blog/

You're path would be:
../forums/

REMEMBER THAT TRAILING SLASH! (this goes for URLs as well)

When entering in a number value, no commas, no decimals, like when it asks for the Max Comment Length, you need to put in something like this:
5000

Not this:
5,000

Custimizing
To add options the navigation bar, open the file "./templates/nav-bar.tpl" in a text editor and add the HTML links, feel free to add images as well.

To change the banner image it shows, look for "./image/banner.png" and replace it with the desired image.

Then in a Text editor, op the file "./templates/table-start.tpl" (It's called Table Start).

And modify the width and height values.

For editing the CSS, you can just edit the default CSS file, but I suggest created a new directory in the "./themes" folder, and then putting the CSS in there, then head into "./templates/header.tpl" and change the path in the "<link>" tag.

The file "./config.tpl" holds the settings, if you ever need to change any, without reinstalling MyBB:Blog, open that file in a text editor and change what you need.

Comments, Questions?
Feel Free to ask, I also need as much input on this as i can get.

Etc.
If used, please attribute, it's not required, but I prefer if you did.

So, wadya think?

Awesome! I'll be adding this to my forum soon.

Warning: require_once(/forum/global.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /data/apache/users/xxxx.de/xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/www/blog/global.php on line 10

Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required '/forum/global.php' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php') in /data/apache/users/xxxx.de/xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/www/blog/global.php on line 10

Hmm, Andii S.,
Head into "./config.php" in the MyBB:Blog directory, and change the variable "$config['pathToMyBB']" to '../forum/'.
Ex:
$config['pathToMyBB'] = '../forum/";

If that does not work could you possibly tell me the directories where "./config.php" of MyBB:Blog is and "./config.php" of your MyBB instaltion (ie, "public_html/forum/" and "public_html/www/blog"?

NOTICE:
A Patch is needed for the index.php, there was a linking error, just upload this to the root directory of MyBB:Blog and unzip it.

If you download a freash copy, it should be fine.

@AndiiS.
You will need the Patch BTW

Sounds interesting..

@starvinmarvin14 & @Andii S. -- We will wait for your feedback on the same to know how it works.. and ease of use..

Seems like a great application, but I think I'm going to pass on it since there are is an plugin that adds blog to your forums

works and also i had to change my cooki phat to ""
works like a charm you did a good job with this blog

one small bug (?) i do not have a acp or modcp link,...yes im usergroup 4 but im in a second usergroup

Edit: SEO would be nice

$mybb->user['usergroup'] is where the Mod/ACP links are dependant from, maybe I should change the referencing variable

SEO will bee in v1.2.x

EDIT:
Crap, just relised that I have a unicode problem.

(sub)EDIT:
Fixed problem in v1.0.1, download it or the upgrade

Sorry for double post.

New version is out!

If you need to patch from v1.0.0, use this:
http://zero.twewy-fan.com/mybbblog/old/u...v1.0.1.zip

just upload the contents of that to your MyBB:Blog folder, delete "lock" in the "./install/" directory. then head to "./install/upgrade.php".

It should fix an RSS error that was there for the unicode problem, and now version numbers are shown in the Footer if you chose to attribute.

Changed files:
global.php
subscribe.php
index.php
install/index.php
templates/footer.tpl


Please report any bugs that you may encounter.

This is an okay mod. I won't be using this as MyBlogs has all of the features your mod does and it is much more stable then this.
