Request: Something like LiveJournal?

Post by a user »

Is it possible to make Serendipity like LiveJournal?
like having [mood], [music], background pic, 12hr time... etc

it's just a thought, not to criticize because I don't know a dime's worth
of Php

keep up the good work developers and contributors!!!

Serendipity rocks because it can be used in a dynamic setting...
plus it looks much better than most other ones

too bad wordpress can't

If you'd care to elaborate on this, I may be willing to look into implementing it...

Read about the feature here:
http://www.livejournal.com/site/about.bml

they have their codes here:
http://cvs.livejournal.org/browse.cgi/

too bad it's in perl (and mostly linux).... many of the module
they require don't work in windows / not supported
I would use linux, but don't know how to use it, so i have experimented
with knoppix... progress: not good

thanks for even considering implementing some of their features

What he basically wants is a plugin which enables a user to enter his/her "current mood" and "current music"(what he is listening to) while posting each entry and display them next to each entry. Its a common Livejournal feature.

I know this thread is old, but has this been implemented yet?

Yeah...I kinda figured...
Give me about another hour to iron out some of the bugs ;)

btw, what moods would you like to see as defaults?

(5 hours later...*ahem*)

Alright. serendipity_event_mymood can be downloaded from http://brett.narnarnar.com/s9y_devel/.

You can see it in action here.

Please remember, this is very beta software. It's the 3rd plugin I've ever written, so if you install it, realize it might erase all of your s9y data, corrupt current entries, or cause oily discharge.

Right now the images are dodgy...the css to pretty it up is non existent...and the placing options aren't great. I have a couple ideas that I'd like to implement, but I'm not sure how...like using templates for formatting and hooking the images into the media manager...Any help??

Hi kidgoo,

When I install Mood, there is another plugin that always gets installed, too:

Code: Select all

Extended properties for entries Already installed  
(cache, non-public articles, sticky posts) 
What am I doing wrong? :cry: Do I have to delete 'Extendet Properties' from my webspace (I do not need it)?

Regard,

Oliver

Ps.: I love the idea of putting my mood to the footer of an entry :)

Nope, you aren't doing anything wrong...

It looks like the mymood plugin use the extended properties plugin to link specific moods to specific entries... (this saves a lot of code, so it makes sense)

So you need both plugins installed to use mymood. You can just leave it and not worry about it.

The mymood plugin requires the extended properties plugin to be installed, and will try to install it if it's not there, but I'm not sure why it's trying to re-install it if it's already there. You shouldn't delete the extended properties plugin...

Does it cause an actual error that prevents the mood plugin from working at all?

(Posted at the same time...sorry!)

The problem is: When installing 'extendet properties.', this plugin turns off over 100 entries of my blog, so guests can not read these. When I started my blog, I used some kind of 'history'-plugin to turn off these entries, but meanwhile (??) I do not need this anymore.

So when I want to use mood, I'll have to manually turn on these entries after installing mood and e.p., I think, right? :shock:

Regards,

Oliver

hrm...I'm not sure what's going on. Let's get the basics: Could you post what version of s9y you're running, and what plugins you have installed?
And If you could, the name of the plugin you used to turn off the entries. When you say "turn off", by the way, do you mean mark them as drafts or hide them in some other way?

Thanks!

Oliver: Just make a "DELETE FROM serendipity_entries". This will purge all associated old entries and lets you start "fresh" using the moods for new entries. :)
