SMF has their Simple Blogs mod, but the developer is no longer supporting it and there was some sort of security issue.Ã,  I have since removed it.Ã, 

I'd be nice to have a replacementÃ, Ã,  :up:

I am still waiting to hear what the security issue is?

But there is another blog in development. ;)

The theme idea is part of it  ... but there needs to be a custom sort for the blogs. 
A comment cannot bump an old blog entry like a reply to a topic does in a forum.
I thought there was a mod available to keep replies from bumping the thread.  I'll have to look it up...

Well the tpblog part of it has to be done with bloc because obviously to be a TP Blog you have to get Bloc to help other wise it would just be a blog :P

lol

If the blogs counted towards their post count, my peeps would use it more   :2funny:

I am making a planning sheet for what it should be like but I will not make it, lol :2funny:!

It should have a easy way for users to edit the blog posts they already had, delete blog posts, delete entire blog, add blog post.
It should have an easy admin for it deciding if the user is allowed to delete, edit, or add blog posts to his/her blog.
It should count toward their post count and money for the shop if you have it.
It should display the users avatar and part of there profile just like in posts but in a new look and bloggy looking :P

Brianjw - lol :2funny:

In fact..I read your post at SMF, and while it isn't really suitable for SMF itself (after all, its a forum software, aiming to do what a forum should provide in the best way it can), it can certainly be a mod...or even more logical: since a blog feature will combine two worlds, its more on the path of portal software than forum software.

TP can really use a blog feature. Now, we have FelBlog, which is (or will be) a module you can plugin into TP. I can't say how it goes, since its Felines project and you have to wait for her response..but here a thought or two about TP's future that might be interesting:

Right now TP has articles and categories. Articles have a simple comment and a rating system and is also linked to frontpage ..in that last articles can be shown etc. Its just minor steps from being an article, to being a simple blog. What I like to add is an option to expand categories in a way that they can treat its articles in different ways. It can be as easy as showing the category as pure links instead of the actual articles, or just the icons for example - or not show it at all(for simple archiving purposes). It can also be that it treats articles and child categories as for example individual "blogs", one per user... The key here is simplicity, in that the changes aren't too complex, so the versatility can be kept.

3 more things are needed:
1.) member permissions, quite cruical to both articles and "blogs".  2.) Links that are "index.php?page=mypage" instead of/in addition to "index.php?page=23" and 3.) search within articles, also very handy.

So while I won't say that this and this will be in, the idea of TP offering a simple blog is quite possible.
