Make Your Own Addons!

What is this stuff?

Addons are custom features that you can add to your Vanilla forum. Addons are created by our community of developers and people like you!

Will it work on my Vanilla Forum?

These addons are for people who downloaded and set up their own Vanilla forum. Compare your downloaded version with the version requirements on the right.

If your Vanilla forum is hosted at VanillaForums.com, this addon may already be installed there.

Vanilla Approved?

We review addons to make sure they are safe and don't cause bugs. An addon is considered to be "Vanilla Approved" once our review process is complete.

This addon is a plugin. You need to extract it to your /plugins folder to install it.
Define the page which is displayed when a user first signs in.
In other words use a different 'Home Page' for your forum.

Avoids the need to make changes to your .htaccess files or use mod_rewrite.

Notes

It is not possible to use a 'friendly url' for the default page, please use a 'dynamic url' instead:

http://mywebsite.com/discussion/3
translates to
comments.php?DiscussionID=3

Issues

If ConfirmGoBack is enabled the following changes will be needed to the ConfirmGoBack default.php file:

Change Line 39
window.location = \'' . GetUrl($this->Context->Configuration, 'index.php', '', '', '', '', 'IgnoreDefaultPage=1') . '\';

Change Line 43
window.location = \'' . GetUrl($this->Context->Configuration, 'index.php', '', '', '', '', 'IgnoreDefaultPage=1') . '\';

If you have 'Pimped my Vanilla' extension installed make sure that DefaultPage is enabled before DefaultPage. In fact I would make sure that DefaultPage is the last extension installed to make sure it updates changes to the url made by other extensions.
