I love Pockets, but I am stumped at how I can add a 728x90 banner just below the Body, and above the Content (before) Pocket. Ultimately the banner should be just below the nav bar. Any hints or tips welcome :)

However, the post still displays after I refresh. Any ideas what is happening? I'm using Version 2.1b1

I am trying to use the proxyconnect to integrate vanilla inside my website. I set all the parameters but whenever I try to login even after login to my site it goes to login page. And It not logging out when I logging through 'password' authenticator.

Authenticate URL giving the correct values in right way.

How can I debug the system to find out where I am wrong. Please help me out on this ASAP as we have to launch the site on 1st June 2013.

I'm unsure how to go about this. Can I use "$DiscussionModel->Get"?

Thanks!

I then tried using localhost;unix_socket=/tmp/mysql5.sock for Database Host, and got a similar error. The connection parameters you specified failed to open a connection to the database. The database reported the following error: SQLSTATE[HY000] [2002] Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql5.sock' (2)

I'm pretty sure the Security Groups are set up correctly since I can do it with mysql.

It is worth mentioning MySQL is not running on the VPC instance since it is not a database server, it is only a client. Tried starting it up to see if that would help, and it did not change the symptom.

So, what am I missing here. I've been scratching my head for a while now trying to figure this one out.

Thank you.

To see any posts you need to click to page 3. When you add a new comment to a topic it bumps that post to page 1.

Is there a way of moving everything back up the list to page 1?

I don't use Twitter, but I know is has this #hashtag feature I am not familiar with.

• Can anybody explain what Vanilla #hashtags are all about?
• How does it work and how to use it?
• Why is that function disabled by default?
• Does it work well together with Markdown?
• Is it really a bug what peregrine identified and fixed here?

Question continue from https://vanillaforums.org/discussion/comment/183184#Comment_183184

@vrijvlinder said: well the easiest way to do it I think is to use the categories drop down plugin and modify the script part to say display in-line and keep them visible at all times. You might need to use some css to get it right but it could work.

> '< script type="text/javascript" >
> var ddmenuitem = 0;
> var menustyles = { "visibility":"visible", "display":"in-line", "z-index":"9"}
> 
> function Menu_close()
> {  if(ddmenuitem) { ddmenuitem.css("visibility", "visible"); } }
> 
> function Menu_open()
> {  Menu_close();
>    ddmenuitem = $(this).find("ul").css(menustyles);
> }
> 
> jQuery(document).ready(function()
> {  $("ul#Menu > li").bind("mouseover", Menu_open);
>    $("ul#Menu > li").bind("mouseout", Menu_close);
> });
> 
> document.onclick = Menu_close;< /script >'

I am trying to expand categories(2 level only) horizontally and move below the menu/navigation. Please see the example page http://funcookie.com/vf20 and here is the code I added. Thanks.

custom.css #Submenu { float: center; }

default.master.php <div id="Submenu"> 2 Level Categories </div>

Also, i tried to put this code http://goo.gl/yWpu0 but gives me bonk.

Do you know simplar code for vanilla or can you help tweaking this one http://goo.gl/yWpu0 ?

Thanks,

Thanks, Chris

i have enabled these on config.php $Configuration['Cache']['Enabled'] = TRUE; $Configuration['Cache']['Method'] = 'memcached'; $Configuration['memcached']['Store'] = 'localhost';

Everything except role permissions came over. I have set up normal users as per the roles and permissions video - seems OK. I really want to like it, but am completely and utterly confused by how the moderation is supposed to work.

What permissions should a moderator have? I have enabled the following permissions for a moderator (on top of normal member permissions)

Garden>Manage>Moderation

Conversations>Moderation>Manage

Default Category Permissions>Discussions>Close,Delete,Edit

Default Category Permissions>Comments>Delete,Edit

I have enabled the 'Flag' plugin and have the following permission set for that

Plugins>Flagging>Notify

However when a moderator logs in there seems to be no way for them to access the moderation tools.

The documentation seems very lacking in explaining this, and so

How is this supposed to work?

my hoster (that bloody b...) moved from php5.2 to version 5.4. They left the user alone with troubleshooting with the words:

Make sure that your apps work under that new php Version and exactly since that time, I got the:

Fatal Error in Gdn_Database.Connection();

on my forum:

http://www.kimmich-dm.de/fwp-forum/

I'm simply lost to interprete the error message and finally what to do with this info. I'd be so happy if you could give me a pointer for start-up the trouble-shooting.

Parallel, due the reason of unreachability, I installed a blank new version (2.0.18.8) of vanilla.

Any chance to get the old discussions from 2.0.16. (the boink one) to this blank new one?

Cheers

1. post a descriptive title. Not just xyz - does not work
2. post as much information relating to the issue, and demonstrate the issue you are encountering.
3. add additional information, such as the vanilla version you are running.

To expand. Titles.

Try and use the title as the neon sign to grab attention, not the opportunity to be as brief a possible. Example:

1. Bad: header wrong

2. Good: Help needed with positioning header banner on "sunshine" theme

3. Bad: forum doesnt work

4. Good: Bonk after I installed "kiss me quick" plugin

To expand. Description.

Express the exact issue you have. Example.

1. Bad: Installed "sunshine" theme and its broken.
2. Good: I am running 2.0.18.4 vanilla forum, I installed "sunshine" theme and I am having alignment issues, please see screenshot below. Here is a link to the site etc etc, any help appreciated.

Common Courtesy.

Use please and thankyou. Be helpful with questions asked by repliers to your threads and posts. Click like, awesome whatever to show additional gratitude.

Expectations of you and repliers.

1. dont ask a question then disappear without a trace.
2. if you ask a question, check back regularly to see replies.
3. be prepared to get your hands dirty, and show some code and or give additional information.

Above all be patient, theres no wrong way to ask a question. But seemingly theres a billion ways of not answering it correctly, you can mitigate and minimise those proportions, for everyone.

By being detailed in your requests, problems or issues.

Oh and ...

If you fix something you asked about, be a good boy or girl, and post HOW you did it, so that others venturing onto your thread, can see how you achieved it.

Lastly, 99.99999999% of members posting on the forums, do so for free, and get NO recompense from Vanilla Inc. So be aware that helping ppl is a community initiative, that we all enjoy and support ... including you ;)

have fun, apologies for any spieling messtikes as I am on a bloody iPad.

I noticed that some of my users are posting in wrong categories because when they start a new discussion on the main page this field is pre populated.

How can I have set a blank selection option so that in the event that they rush into posting the forum alerts them to select a category?

This is the functionality seen in vanillaforums.org.

Thanks,

Any input appreciated!

I'm not capable to write my own plugins yet, although I'm trying to get the hang of it.

There is one very interesting functionality I'm after right now: Automatic EXIF metadata stripping from uploaded JPEGs (using the FileUpload plugin) with imagemagick.

Took a look and found such a plugin for Wordpress (which I have attached here).

Can anybody with the knowledge please take a look and tell me, if/how it could be implemented? Would it be a modification to FileUpload? Or an own plugin?

/** * Trigger on Categories. */ public function CategoriesController_BeforeDiscussionContent_Handler($Sender) { $this->DisplayPhoto($Sender); }

What I want are. Show list of discussions, sort by most recent, 5 per page (with pagination), no headings - no buttons.

1. The default view for 'Ban List' shows 20 results. If I click the 'next' link, I'm taken to page 2 which displays 0 results. I've entered roughly 100 IP's over the last week, so in theory I should have 5 pages under 'Ban List' with 20 results per page. Is this a bug within the code?

2. In addition to full IP's (123.123.123.123), I've also been adding wildcards to the end of my IP's (123.123.123.%) to ban entire ranges as described by @Todd in this discussion: http://vanillaforums.org/discussion/18097/can-i-ban-a-user-by-ip-address

However, it appears that these wildcard bans don't prevent users from signing up. I've had spambots register under an IP within the IP range I have banned.

If anyone can provide some direction to these issues, it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance!

P.S. For what it's worth, my registration method is currently set to 'Approval'.
