(this mod was a request, which is found here)

the Blog mod enables you and your members to have their own blog tied to their account on your phpBB3 board.

Features:

• Categories can be made with unlimited subcategories and branching.
• Each user has their own page to which they may post new blogs to.
• Comments can be made to blogs.
• Soft Delete - Blogs and Replies, when deleted, are first soft deleted. Administrators have a permission setting to allow them to permanently hard delete blogs and replies.
• Separated Templates. Allows you to very easily create or install separate templates for the User Blog Mod and allow users to select which templates they want shown for their blog. This uses the board default style for things like posting, so only 1 template needs to be built in order to allow users to pick it for their own template.
• SEO Url's - If you have Mod Rewrite enabled on your server you can use the SEO Url's which change an ugly URL like the following:
  http://domain.fireforumz.com/blog.php?u=2&b=1
  To something nicer, like:
  http://domain.fireforumz.com/blog/EMOruffino/welcome_to_the_user_blog_mod_b-1.html
• Users may rate blogs.
• User Permissions - Users can set permissions for other users on a global or per blog basis, letting them decide if they want the users to not see the blog, be able to see and read the blog, or be able to see, view, and reply to the blog. Users can set options for 4 "groups", Guests, Friends, Foes, and everyone else (Administrators and Moderators are not affected by user set permissions, and any permissions set by administrators in the ACP override any settings set by users).
• Plugins System - Allows you to not only easily expand the features of the User Blog Mod by installing user made plugins, but it also makes it very easy to make your own custom plugins which add features for your own board without having to edit the core files every time you upgrade. Installing plugins is usually very simple, and can usually be done by just uploading some files to your phpBB3 forum and clicking the Install button in the User Blog Plugins ACP module.
• Subscriptions - Users can subscribe to receive updates via PM or Email when a new reply is posted to a blog or a new blog is posted by a user.
• Feeds - RSS/ATOM/Javascript output feeds
• Search System - Users can search for text within blogs and blog replies (it is separate from the phpBB3 search system however).
• Attachments - An attachments system exactly like the one included with phpBB3.
• Polls - The same as polls for phpBB3.
• Per user/group permissions - Integrates with the phpBB3 permissions system and allows a lot of control over what users can and can not do.

How To Use:

the Blog mod ACP settings is located in your ACP under the .MODS tab. Their you configure everything. Before anyone can use the mod, you must set permissions for it. So go into your ACP and go to the PERMISSIONS tab and set the required permissions.

yup tried it out and works fine good job adding it to the acp. Did you just create it yourself and stick it into the directory for the acp/site?

the blog mod was written but EXreaction. But i did have to do some moding of the files to get it to work the way i wanted it too.

Thanks a ton! You're the best. I'm gonna go get things started now

Wow!

I've been looking for something like this for a while--where can I download it please?

Very nice thanks ^_^

its already installed, you just need to activate it from the ACP.
