Search is Back, Baby!

Thursday, January 28th, 2010

We just completed a big upgrade for search in Vanilla that uses MySQL’s fulltext capabilities. The results are finally useful, and the search is fast. Try it out on our community forum.

 

↳ Pssst. Are you a Vanilla 2 early adopter? If so, read this:

If you are running an early copy of Vanilla 2, you’ll need to update your database in order to get search working properly. Here’s how:

1. Back up your database!
2. Make sure to sign in as the admin user (UserID 1).
3. Navigate to: http://yourdomain.com/path/to/garden/utility/structure/vanilla

4. The page shows you what SQL is going to be executed (if any changes are required), and you can run it by clicking the “Click here to make this change” link at the bottom of the screen.

You can update the database for every application (garden, vanilla, conversations, etc) by changing to the appropriate name in the url, like this: http://yourdomain.com/path/to/garden/utility/structure/application_name

Of course, this process will be automated eventually, but for you early adopters this is a quick-fix.

Welcome to the new VanillaForums.org website. This new site is a complete replacement of all our various web properties that were previously scattered across multiple domains and servers. Now you can get all of your Vanilla-related information in one place.

The entire site is built on our new Garden platform, the same code that Vanilla 2 is being built on. Our new community forums is an import of all our data from the old “Lussumo” community forum in a brand new Vanilla 2 installation.

If you encounter any errors while using VanillaForums.org, please report them on our issue tracker
