[drupal-devel] [feature] List of bloggers

[Andrzej7]

Issue status update for http://drupal.org/node/17030

 Project:      Drupal
 Version:      cvs
 Component:    blog.module
 Category:     feature requests
 Priority:     normal
 Assigned to:  Anonymous
 Reported by:  Bèr Kessels
 Updated by:   Andrzej7
 Status:       patch

I was a little afraid (poor PHP) to install the patch (March...), but I
have made a block. And it's very nice.


One question only. All the bloggers are shown, but the Admin (user No
1) is on the list and he has no blogs.


What's that?

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>';
?>

I think this is a useful feature.  I've coded custom blocks in the past
to provide it on my sites.
