Need a PHP Script for a Blog
Here's the thing,
I think I've seen all php scripts that are out there for making a blog and couldn't find one that suits my needs... I don't want anything bloated with features, I want a simple and neat blog that I can customize with templates easly... My last attempt was b2evolution, it was a good blog for me, I configured everything til I get to customize my blog and their template engine simply sucks.


Of course I haven't seen all the scripts, but I've seen a lot, probably the most known but I haven't yet found one that I can work with...

I don't need a multi-blog or multi-user blog, I just want one blog and one user able to post, of course I wnat people to comment, but just that, I'm the only one posting. What I want is something simple. If anyone could recomend me one...

I really don't want to code my own, since I'll have to spare lot of time to do it... but I guess sometimes, if you want something right you have to do it yourself.

Thanks.

Do you want a free one or are you willing to pay?

If you want a free one, then you should check the net and search with Google. Obviously, free ones may not suit your needs.

If you want something for your needs, then try 'Hire a programmer'. I am sure someone will be able to help you.

If you expect someone spend a lot of time and write a script of many 100s lines especially for you and for free, then 'good luck' with that.

In any case, this board is aimed for people who are coding themselves and need help and guidance. AFAIK, this is not a request board.


Good luck

I want a free one of course, I'm going to pay for nothing nor to someone to code me one...

I've already searched a lot, that's why I am asking if anybody knows of any script that I probably missed...

You are not seeing this correctly, I don't want somebody to code me something for free... I want a script that already exists, that someone already coded wich is available for anyone that wants to use it...

I can code one of my own, I just didn't want to spend time in doing it coz I want to put my blog up as fast as I could and if I'm going to code one, that will take much longer...

If this is not the board for this, where is it then? This is about php, I'm looking for a script, that maybe someone around this forum knows and I'm just asking...

that won't do... I've already saw that one and the template system is equal to b2evolution wich sucks... he's just a pain in the *** to make templates with that system...

I would take longer making a template on that system than in coding on blog system myself...

I'm not trying to bust your balls or anything, but I don't understand why you posted here if this is your attitude. You say that you've searched all the free solutions and none of them work for your needs. You've also said that you aren't willing to pay someone to do one for you and you won't purchase an enterprise blog system. So unless you have a problem or question regarding one you are working on, what's the point of creating this thread?

I don't have any kind of attitude... I'm just asking something, what's so wrong with that?

What I meant with saying that I've seen all of them was just a way of telling that I've seen a lot... but maybe some script slipped from my eyes... and maybe someone could know of such a script and suggest it to me, is that so hard to understand?

i wrote my very own script. all it needs to work is the little pieces of code; so you design the 'blog' page however you want and the 'entry adding' page however you want and just add the code after the 'submit' button.

each post is displayed on the 'blog page' either ascending or descending and each post can display how many comments it has. when the user clicks the link in the entries header, it takes it to a page with just that entry, the entries comments and the option to add comments to it.

the only thing i am working on now is the 'edit' page so you can edit posts.

is this what you're after? it's so much easier than all the ones you see out there these days; all you need (knowledge) wise is :

html
css (if need be)
basic php
how to chmod
understand the 'w+', 'r+' and 'a+' commands

err... I know you are trying to help and I thank you for that, but I know how to code in php I know a lot of html, css, and all that, I have enough knowlodge to build my own blog system I just didn't want to spend time on it...

but never mind... I guess I'll ahve to do it anyway, I just wanted to set up my blog the fastest I could but I geuss it will take a while...

It's just not worth when people assume what you are thinking and what you say, but they assume all wrong, wich is what (almosT) everyone in here did...

Thanks for the ones who really tried to help. You don't need to reply in this topic any more.

here is my suggestion....
if you want to get your blog up asap, just create a simple form with a textarea for the post, textbox for the header, and textbox for your name (if needed) along with a simple php script to enter the info into a db. bam, you're done and your blog is online.

just add all of the fancy stuff one item at a time.

but why reinvent the wheel? Serendipity is a brilliant blog and has people like Sterling Hughes and Sebastian Bergmann working on it's development. Both of them contribute to developing PHP itself.

for a simple blog, write a form as such :

PHP Code:
<?
if ($submit == true && $content == true)
{
$hFile = fopen( "journal.txt", "a+" ); 
fwrite( $hFile, "$content\n by $author\n" ); 
fclose( $hFile );
echo "<meta http-equiv=\"refresh\" content=\"0;URL=index.php\">";
}
?>


and then on your 'index.php' page, simply have :

PHP Code:
<?
@readfile(("journal.txt"));
?>


it's hardly an arduous or difficult task for someone who knows "how to code in php"...

Hey hey everyone... be nice around here

I can understand (sic)master's frustration though since he was asking for a premade blog script written in PHP. The problem is that people thought he was asking for someone to make one for him or was trying to teach him how to make his own. As he stated in his first post, he does not have time to make his own and is just looking for ones he may have missed.

To comment on the replies

ClanAdmin: I can understand how you thought he was asking for a custom solution.
mv2:No offence intended but your reply about attitude was uncalled for and unjustified.
amassedaura: he was really looking for a pre-made solution, not directions on how to make his own. It's good to see you helping out but thats not really what he was after. As (sic)master said, thank you for your help.
Pittperson: He already stated to amassedaura that he knows how to do it but doesn't want to invest the time.

In the end your persistance at trying to show him code he already knows is frustrating. He doesn't want to make his own and states that yet you persist in trying to teach him. Personally I would get frustrated too. I can understand how he managed to get short with his reply and stated what he did. I thank you for trying to help but it was not what he was after.
