I have been reading quite a few comments asking for a full fledged blog in webbuilder.
This extension will help you install a blog, which has many features, on your website-

Some of the important features-
# You can add any number of Articles
# Your visitors can rate your articles (star rating)
# Your visitors can leave their comments
# Achieves
# Search on Blog
# Calendar
# Simple Installation.
# You can edit the header as well as the footer image to match your site. CSS can also be edited but venture into it only if you are sure of what you are doing!
# No less than Wordpress

Download:
Visit http://lucknowwebs.com/blog-extension and look for "Download Extensions"Link

UPDATE 21/01/2011
Extension has been updated with Extension builder 2.6.1
Now compatable with WB7x

UPDATE 14/11/2009

Detailed install explanation added...read on:
Ok, for the benefit of all I explain the whole process again.....please bear with me..it may be irritating

(1)
Copy the blog.wbx in the install folder

(2)
Open WB and drag the extension on your page where you want the link to your blog to appear...example on your home page "goto my blog"

(3)
Goto the settings of the extension and set the colour of the link etc.

(4)
"Link of Blog" this is important.
This is the link to your blog folder that will be created. YOU NEED NOT CREATE THE FOLDER CALLED BLOG, IT WILL BE CREATED ON ITS OWN. For example if your main site is http://www.mysite.com then just put the link there "www.mysite.com/blog". Ensure this is correct path

(5)
Upload the page as "upload all".

(6)
After full upload, visit the page on which the extension was placed.

(7)
Click on "Goto my Blog" on that page

(8 )
You will be taken to the Blog installation....
Choose the language and click on "Submit"

(9)
Next page click on "Begin Setup"

(10)
Follow the steps...it is self explianatory

(11)
You will reach the "Create username & password" Do that

(12)
Next page will be "Create password file"
See the screenshot:

This I have already explained in the pdf

(13)
Once you have done the above step (12) click on "continue"

(14)
You will be sent to the login page...login with the login/pass you had selected earlier

(15)
You will reach the "Login Congratulations!" page.
Click on "Setup" on this page

(16)
Now make all the changes in the "Setup" page and click on "Submit"

(17)
YOU ARE DONE!!

I cant explain this better

I have to agree with itsanogo. what does your extension do? It simply is a link to a blog that you need to setup and configure.

See, webbuilder is a web designing software for those who have little knowledge about installing of scripts like blogs/cms/forums..this is the reason extensions like the official 'blog' and 'news writer' were introduced. What this script is doing , it is simplifying the initial few steps and allowing the user to handle the blog directly from his site. You may be surprised, the file has been downloaded 62 times since I made the post(about 24hrs back)....and these people wouldn't have downloaded if they had known how to install and run a blog on their site(there is one more reason I have used a blog that doesnt require SQL data base).

Code: Select all

This extension isnt just creating a link to the blog on your page...but is uploading the whole blog to a predefined folder so there is easy install and use....the link has been made to be customizable so that it can be matched with the other links/menu of your main web pages.

This extension is just to simplify the process. Blogs/cms/forums needs installation from server side, which sometimes causes troubles of various kind, and no extension can install it for you...I am trying to make the initial steps simple.

Most people download the extension to see what it does, so out of the 62 you can count me out making it 61 I know how to create Blogs, CMS and so on.

Good Extension, but I dont think most users that do not know how to edit CSS or PHP could use this extension. I do like the way it simplifies the process and a good start at the blog.

If you can ReCreate the Extension, And I tell you I could not create even one, to be able to have the Header Picture, Footer, Colors and so on. So that novice users can change items within the extension itself, would be great.

Keep up turning out the extensions, Great so far! Looking forward to more extensions from you!

Posted: **Tue Mar 03, 2009 5:17 am**

WOW

I dont have time to create a blog or set one up
So I guess i am 1 of the "61" whom appreicate this extention VERY MUCH!!

Thank you so much for taking your time to make this extention

Check out your Extention in action at http://www.highwaytrucker.com/blog/index.php

Much much Regards V8

Looks great!!!!!!!

I have added my comment on your blog

Posted: **Fri Mar 13, 2009 12:59 am**

Having a STRANGE problem

I change the Header pic to one i made (like you sugested)
But it reverts back to the default banner after a day or 2....

What am I doing wrong?

I named it "header750x100.jpg" & over wrote the one
in the default/image folder........strange

any sugestions?

Love this "Blog" extention

Regards V8

Posted: **Fri Mar 13, 2009 1:42 am**

Your Blog extention is just great...........so easy to use

What about a "photo bucket" type extention?

I have been looking at many "Scripts" and they all seem hard to install
you have to use "MySQL" and many other things in order for users to
have there own accounts and gallerys and catagories.......

I have installed a forum on my site but I dont like it either because
of the difficulty in managing and trying to make it look like my site.....

I would like to have a "Forum" & Photo Bucket" match my site Color, logo and so on.

Just like your "Blog" extention I was able to make it look like my site
& so easy to install.............

OH.....if I send you my background & Truck pic from my site could you make a theame for me?

Best Regards V8

I will look for a free forum/Photo script that matches the need of all and try to make an extension. If you are aware of any such script do let me know.
The template you are asking for, do you need it for Joomla or Wordpress? For webbuilder, your template is excellent.

Posted: **Sat Mar 14, 2009 3:00 am**

The template you are asking for, do you need it for Joomla or Wordpress?

Not sure what you meen?..................."Joomla or Wordpress"

I would like the blog to have the same border and Truck & maybe the flash as on the top and sides of my site highwaytrucker.com

Is this posible?
Thank you again for all you do

Did you follow the steps as mentioned in the pdf guide in toto? (please cross check)
Did you fill all the variables in the extension? (please cross check)

Posted: **Sat Apr 04, 2009 7:00 pm**

Personally, I did install the blog using the extn and it is there in the demo working perfectly. Frankly, I really don't remember if there were any additional settings etc. Perhaps v84x4 could help here as he is using the blog extension on his website.
Let me go through the thing again

Posted: **Sat Apr 11, 2009 5:31 am**

I read the instructions and am a little confused.

You mentioned filling in the config file with a code. Is that within the extension, or is that something I have to contact the host server about?

Posted: **Sat Apr 11, 2009 7:09 pm**

yettyn I can see your point..being a extension builder myself I dont have secrets I have asked for help when making extensions myself but how I started was to download the examples and take it from there and if I got stuck I asked....the original script for the recommend extension can be found at link I have my own version of this that I made to suit myself with the added variables so you can change ie name email friends email comment etc to suit users own language with a few extras also added to suit me. Anyway here is the link for the script:
www.viewfinderdesign.co.uk

Posted: **Sun Apr 12, 2009 4:49 am**

This Blog project has been closed and is 'as it is'. I am not working on it further. If someone wants, can always find the link to the original script in the extension.

Posted: **Sun Apr 12, 2009 5:55 pm**

Yes but I mean for the extension as the problem is each time you publish your manually adjusted files will get overwritten by the ones from the extension.

For this, once you have updated all the files on your server as needed by you, open the project page on which the extension is and delete the extension from the page and place a link which when clicked takes the user to the blog. This way next time there will be no overwriting.

Posted: **Mon May 04, 2009 10:14 am**

Well I can do bits of my own scripting and can set up my own blog but I still think this extension is fantastic. If you are not confident at scripting or just need a quick blog then you can't do much better than this.

Nice work mate, well done.

As for the container page, you can simply copy the link and add it anywhere in you site

Posted: **Mon May 04, 2009 1:11 pm**

The Blog works perfect and is light on your server as well...only few mbs.
I have added a new demo on my main post...this is an actual blog used by a member of this forum and user of WB.
Have a look : http://www.itdesign.co.za/blog/
Riaan the blog has been beautifully made and thanks for allowing me to use it as a demo !!!!

In the Contact me page on the blog when you submit where does it go, how do i get it to sent to my email address

Hello, I just installed the blog and installation was successful, but after I login and try to select any of the options (Add Entry, Preferences, etc..) It logs me out and I have to login again, but still am not able to edit my new blog.

Several months ago I installed a blog using the previous version and everything worked fine.

The folder is set at 777
What could be the problem??

Hi Prosenjeet,

I would like to pick your brain please.

I am interested in inserting a blog into an html page created with wb.
So let's imagine the normal html page except that some block of it is a blog which means that viewers can insert text in that space. For the protection of the host server, it should only except plain text and should have a buffer limitation so that no one could insert more than a certain amount of text - say, three pages without being stopped. And there should be provision for that ip to be blocked until I (admin) give them permission to load three more pages. It also seems that there would have to be some provision to automatically create additional pages on the host server. But mainly, I just want a very simple way for people who have been approved and who have logged in to be able to add comments or any text to pages that are on the website.

Is that possible??

Thanks much.

Posted: **Sun May 23, 2010 7:37 pm**

Sorry I haven't followed up sooner. I have been producing a couple of videos and it has taken all my time.

Instead of a blog technique. I am studying incorporating collaborative writing into a website design.

I will report back if I come up with a good solution.

thanks,
