Blogs for Proboards?

[Meme]

I don't think this question is related to coding or graphics, but the programming design. I was wondering if it was possible in some way to blog on proboards? The reason I ask is because I haven't heard it mentioned as I have been on different boards.

I was wondering if there was somewhere in the program where you could possibly have the replies to the blog be insync with the date and yet go to a different sub-board, to have someone make a comment on your blog. Would each person who desired to blog have to have a separate sub-board and place a url to the specific sub-board after every blog input to a specific rpost. Sounds really complicated was hoping someone had a better solution?

Would surely appreciate the help.

Thank you in advance,

I'm not understanding your question.

Sorry it sounded a bit confusing to me too I was asking if proboards has the capability of having a blogging screen.

Like those for instance on blogspot.

I know I could do it buy putting in a sub-board for each person who had a blog and putting the comment url to that sub-board but it seems a little complicated when you are trying to keep it insync with each blog post because the dates wouldn't coinside etc...with posts, just a lot of extra work for those who wanted to comment.on someone's blog....I was really basically wondering if there was an easier way?

Thank you,

Easier way is to have a board as a blog, have threads int he board as entries, and replies as comments.

And then from there use code modifications to make it look blog-like.

I was at one point trying to make a code like this. I didn't, however, have the coding skills to finish the job and couldn't get anyone who was willing to work with me...

If someone wants to i could find my plans and help them code it...i am still not good enough

I wouldn't be too surprised if you saw something more like this after V5 comes out, but I doubt the plausibility at this point.

Nightstalker....I'm willing to try out what you come up with.

idunk.....Do I need to move this thread to the coding board if the solution isn't possible from a programming standpoint?

Thank you in advance for your help everyone

I'm not saying it's not possible, just that it's unlikely at this time.

Yea most coders don't want to do something this big. It definitely will be much easier when V5 comes out.

1) It's possible (to code) and not too difficult to code with basic knowledge of JavaScript, PHP, and SQL.

2) There are limitations though - due to us (coders) not having all of the resources we need (an API, etc), there's no way to ensure that it is secure, meaning that members could post fake messages (for example) if they had basic coding knowledge.

[Andrew.McGivery]

the only real issue that comes up is that all a user would need to do is disable javascript and BAM. They can post on any blog they want

or, type &NOHEADERS&FOOTERS into the address bar lol

But besides that, it is completely possible, and not REALLY that big of a project.

Thank you....
If you had it password protected for only certain registered members could people that are not on the board have access to the javascript etc....

[Andrew.McGivery]

password protecting it doesn't solve the problem that I stated above No matter what, they can always disable javascript

[Meme]

Thank you all for your help I guess for now we'll try to keep it with just the boards we have and just adlib a little, at least until V5 comes out.

This would be possible.. It would, however, require some tricky JS. I'll add this to my list of codes to fiddle with.

Placeholding.
