Keeping Journals online

I had a bright idea and am using compo.sr to try to bring my idea to fruition. It is online journaling. My website has composr installed, of course, as I wanted to learn the software well before taking it into production. In that time I realized that there is some, but not much, journaling availability online. Can anyone suggest the best way to incorporate composr into a journaling platform with what is available as packaged?

I am trying to understand the best way to use the software, as it is, to build a secure journaling site so that people will know that their privacy is secure as possible on the website. Thanks.

Hi,

I think by 'journaling', you mean a website where multiple people can have their own blogs?

That is a feature within Composr, each member account can be permitted a blog, which will show under their profile. And you can have a page listing all the blogs directly.

Were there some other features missing?

Quite right. I thought that each could have a blog to themselves but, with all the different controls, I could not delineate how to know that I had it set up for that feature to be sure it was going to be there for them.

I absolutely love this software but it is more complex than any I have dealt with. I am very grateful that I got an answer on this forum. Most software developing sites have forums with for questions; not, answers. I don't see any features missing yet. By journaling, I meant that people could keep private diaries online which is what I had hoped could be done with this. Although I haven't gotten this far yet, I also would like to have a tiered structure of payment for the number of aspects a person wanted to use in the software. A base use permission which is free, an additional group of permissions which have a minimal fee and so on up the line. I am not sure where to begin with that.

Now that I know I can get support I will carry on with my studying the docs. Hey, thanks, quite sincerely.

Cool .

I think it'd need code changes so that nobody is granted access to the blog categories than get auto-created but instead a member-specific privilege is added to the database for the blog owner (that's a hidden feature that has no UI in Composr). Probably it wouldn't be a lot. That's assuming you don't need both a public blog and a private journal.

Any guess as to cost if I asked you to look into that? If I understand the software correctly each person already has their own "ownership" of certain features out of the box? I am quite interested in going forward but I do need more education before I would make sense to both of us.

I think it could be done to a decent standard in around 2 hours. Replacing the assigning of full permissions to that owner-view permission, and renaming blog to journal to make it clearer.
