Small patch to show a list of bloggers. We all should know that
blog.module is not meant for personal blogging, but that set aside, we
do not have a way to show all bloggers, on a site as a list. This patch
ads a few lines that will allow you to show that overview of blogging
users. It ads a menu item, disabled by default that shows such a list.

Hi Bèr Kessels!


Thanks for the patch! It's really useful! :-)


I just noticed what I think is a little mistake in this line:


$items[] = l($row->name, 'blog/'.$row->uid)." ".theme('xml_icon',
url('blog/'.$row->uid.'/feed'), TRUE);


Which I believe should end like:


$items[] = l($row->name, 'blog/'.$row->uid)." ".theme('xml_icon',
url*('blog/feed/'.$row->uid)*, TRUE);


Ah, and BTW,  "db_rewrite_sql" didn't work for me... I just cut it
off... ;-)


Cheers,
Emiliano.

I applied the patch, reuploaded the blog.module and then deactivated and
reactivated it. I cannot see a difference. How do I access the blog
users page? 


Drupal 4.6rc


thanks for the help.

Nearly two months since the patch. If there is no need for this I will
mark it won't fix.

I made a custom block for this, but it still need a little improvment
(add "read more" for example). So I don't know if it's usefull but if
anyone care :

<?php
$result = db_query("SELECT u.uid, u.name, COUNT(0) AS num FROM {node} n
LEFT JOIN {users} u ON u.uid = n.uid WHERE n.type = 'blog' GROUP BY
u.uid, u.name ORDER BY u.name ASC");
while ($blog = db_fetch_object($result)) {
     $output .= '<li />'.l($blog->name. ' ('.$blog->num.')',
'blog/'.$blog->uid);
}
return '<ul>'.$output.'</ul>';
?>
