People with journals will have a JOURNAL icon in posts with a link to the journal...

[Erwin]

The icon looks like a big J under their username...

All new journals will get this automatically.

1. Members with existing journals won't have a J in their posts until they make a new journal entry - the J will then show up.

2. If you have a journal, the journal link in the navbar goes to your journal - otherwise, it goes to the journal forum.

3. If you choose to hide your Journal icon, you can do so in the User CP, Options. Your journal will remain public though. If you want a private journal, post in the Member's Draft forum.

NOTE: I fixed a bug - if the journal icon links to the wrong post, make sure you enter a new journal entry to fix it.

Enjoy!

Looks Great. I like it !!!

 

[loribee59]

Coolio!!! Is there a way to make it 'link' to the most current entry? I find myself reading very old entries... LOL That'd be great if it's possible.

THANKS SOOOO MUCH!!

Ooh, now I won't lose my journal over and over! Thanks!

the "J" will only show up when you updated your journal.

However, I'd like to see that the word "journal" in the navbar links to my personal journal, not to the Christian Journal Page.

Erwin, when you are FULLY rested and SANE, could you see if it's workable? If I click on "own" (on the navbar) to find my own posts, wouldn't it work to click on "journal" to take me directly to my own journal?

Hope I wasn't out of line for requesting that!

otherwise,

YOU RAWK!!!

 

[Erwin]

Good suggestions.

1. I've fixed the bug, so the journal icon now goes to the latest entry.

2. If you have a journal, the journal link in the navbar goes to your journal - otherwise, it goes to the journal forum.

If you already have an icon, it will not work UNTIL YOU MAKE A NEW ENTRY! So make a new entry first before you test the icon or the link in the navbar.

REPORT! REPORT!

Loribee59 hinted that you might be sane Erwin!

(I wouldn't stand for that if I were you!)

*giggle*

Erwin is AWESOME!

Hello, Erwin

You have really cool ideas to make things easier for everyone. Thank you!! And thanks for having a quick look at my journal. I feel honoured.

I might be weird saying this, but what if you DON'T want people reading your journal?
You might ask why i posted a journal on CF if i don't want people reading it and such, but I just think this to be a nice safe place to write my thoughts and it is convenient as i do other things here...

I'm wondering if you could make it an option for journal-writers to have their journal icon showing?
Because sometimes i go on more serious forums like the Philosophy & Morality thing, and i don't want my journal which shows my life/feelings/etc shattering my rep or my dignity there.... I'd prefer random people to read my journal, not knowing who i am kind of thing... not people i might actually converse with on CF frequently.

But if it's too much, then nevermind.

Well, People can read your journal regardless of you having the journal Icon or not.
