As this forum is now here (and a good addition i might add!) i guess we're coming closer to seeing it released or a further announcement on its progress.

Do IPS have any sneak peaks or an estimated release date ?

[W1lz0r]

See this.

Excellent work W1lz0r.

Seen that shortly after i made this topic, i'm thoroughly impressed

[Matt Marshall]

I cannot say I would use it right now, but perhaps a suggestion sub forum here would be nice!

In the future it is something I might use but I would like to see more features and information on it now (current feature list for example).

It looks good. I'm looking forward to the release.

I think it will be very useful on my site.

There is already a list of current and planned features in the Company News Announcement

It looks awsome! Thanks a lot for the update, and this new Blog Forum.

I did see it myself.. Looks nice.

Where it has the flag for 'friendly urls', is that using something http://like.this.com...x.php/blog/name ?? Since part of it was blotted out (to hide the domain I'm sure), it also blotted out that part so I couldn't see it.

If so, can the admin disable a member from turning that on? (using /'s doesn't work on my host, it has to be ?'s)

Oh.. And... I wanna see more screen shots.. MORE MORE MORE MORE MORE!

Friendly urls work like this:
http://like.this.com...1lz0r/index.php
In this case the index.php is automatically loaded on most hosts so it can be ommited. This url is then used on any blog page (of w1lz0r's blog). This does not use mod-rewrite.

This setting is admin controled and can be enabled/disabled from the AdminCP.

I could offcourse post a screenshot of the RSS feed

[LordMooch]

Thanks for the preview. I'm very interested in this product, so I can't wait for release. I'm a bit of an IPS noob; do you usually do beta versions for customers to try and such like?

Some very nice progress there

Looking good W1lz0r! Can't wait until a preview release comes out, if there is a preview release.

Bugger, missed that.

Is there a option to link to a blog? That would be better than having 10 blogs over 10 forums.

The administrator can define which usergroups can See, Create, Create hosted and

I assume that means yes?

Being able to just 'include' a blog from another forum would be nice too. :-"

Check the 2nd screenie, in the feature list it says that users will be able to link to an external blog

[W1lz0r]

Yes the user can link to an external Blog. What will happen is that the Blog will show up in the Bloglist and when you click on it you will be redirected to that Blog. Also in the profile and card the blog link will redirect to the external Blog

EDIT: When you look at the first screenshot, the Testmember's Blog is an external linked Blog.

[chaoticjelly]

Will there be an option to rate the blog? Ie, user comments with an actual rating system? How about a rating system for the blog...

Ie, say I am reviewing San Adreas a new game and I want to give it 5 of 10 stars... Could I have people search on the ratings... Then say a user comments on the review, can they give the review a rating?

Thanks (looks good!)

[W1lz0r]

Rating blogs will not be included in the first release.

It is on my list of potential features for future releases. I am not exactly sure what you are asking, but as I see it right now, it will allow users to rate a Blog. Then you have the option to sort the Blog list on the rates.

[Alahmnat]

Perhaps a dumb question, but will permission to use the blog system be group-based?

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Yes.

To explain a bit more, you can set per group (or rather permission mask) if you can view the blogs, comment on the blogs, create blogs, create hosted blogs, moderate all blogs. Other then that there are also settings to allow moderation of the member's own blog and attachment size settings.
