    This discussion is related to the Vanilla Proxyconnect addon.
    I tried to setup the plugin and I just get the three bar animation that means that Vanilla is working, but nothing happens after that. What can I do about this?

    @ellieroepken are you using RewriteUrls ?

    I don't know. I don't think so. All of the Vanilla URLs show up as index.php?p=/whatever urls. I know my WordPress install uses rewrite.

    @ellieroepken Alright. You're running into an issue we discovered with this release of Vanilla. There is a problem with AJAX and non-rewritten URLs, and it is interfering with your ability to configure ProxyConnect.

    If your host supports rewrite urls and .htaccess, simply go to your config file (conf/config.php), find this line:
    $Configuration['Garden']['RewriteUrls'] = FALSE;

    And change it to:
    $Configuration['Garden']['RewriteUrls'] = TRUE;

    Let me know if this works

    :\ After changing that, I can't access any of the dashboard's sub pages.

    @ellieroepken & @dkodr: if your vanilla installation is in a subdirectory of your site's root, is RewriteBase set correctly in your .htaccess file? This was causing me problems that sounded similar to what you're encountering. For reference:

    @quasistoic Thanks for your help. That worked.

    Now, after the loading thing goes away, nothing comes up. Does the plugin no longer require that the urls be entered manually or something?

    Have you enabled ProxyConnect? If so, is it listed in the dropdown under the "Authentication" dashboard menu item?

    Yes, it's enabled and I'm able to choose an authentication method now. When that finishes loading, nothing happens.
  • ellieroepkenellieroepken

    And I chose ProxyConnect as the auth method.

    Are you using Firefox? If so, would you mind installing Firebug and taking a look at the AJAX call that goes out when you select ProxyConnect from the dropdown? I'd love to see what it is returning for you.

    Mine looks like this after it loads: http://i.imgur.com/ktVsj.png

    Yeah, I have Firefox with Firebug installed. I'm not sure what I should be looking for...

    The console says:
    GET .../forum/dashboard/authentication/configure/proxy?DeliveryType=VIEW 200 OK X 275 ms

    When it's loading...

    When it's done and nothing comes up.

    I'd like to see whats in the Console tab there, specifically the status and Response of the AJAX request you just mentioned

    That's the only thing that comes up. Nothing comes up in the HTML and Response tabs. The only other data that comes up is in the header tab:

    And the Params tab:
    DeliveryType VIEW

    In the meantime, how can we set the four options below via code, conf, or database manually?

    Authenticate Url
    Registration Url
    Sign-in Url
    Sign-out Url

    they're in the database in GDN_UserAuthenticationProvider
    you'll want the row where AuthenticationSchemeAlias = 'proxy'.

    Thanks Tim, just a couple more specifics:

    Does the URL database table require you to put in the Authenticate Url listed in wordpress?

    AuthenticationSchemeAlias is set to 'proxy'?

    The rest are pretty straight forward I assume. Although were having issues with the Log Out in Vanilla, it won't do it. You just stay logged in.

    http://www.mydomain.com/wp-login.php?action=logout&_wpnonce={Nonce}&redirect_to={Redirect}

    Is what's set in the SignOutUrl field.

    If you're using WordPress and ProxyConnect together... why are you even messing around with the database directly?

    Enable ProxyConnect, then enable the Wordpress plugin in Wordpress itself. Click on "ProxyConnect" in the Wordpress dashboard. On the screen you'll see some URLs. It tells you directly on that screen to copy those values into the Vanilla ProxyConnect plugin, into the fields marked with corresponding names (which you listed earlier).

    Have you done that... ?

    How can anyone do that when we're unable to access the settings in Vanilla ProxyConnect plugin.. All people are getting is the animated icons: http://img9.imageshack.us/img9/9549/screenshot20100906at156.png

    Alright try this.

    Find the file /js/slice.js and open it in a text editor. Go to line 95 which should be:
    var SliceURL = gdn.combinePaths(gdn.definition('WebRoot'),this.SliceURL); and changed it to:
    var SliceURL = gdn.url(this.SliceURL);

    Then go to line 108 which should be:
    var SliceURL = gdn.combinePaths(gdn.definition('WebRoot'),this.SliceURL); and change it to:
    var SliceURL = gdn.url(this.SliceURL);

    Thank should fix that particular problem.

    Did you click the "Save >>" button in the Wordpress addon, in order to set the cookie domain to one compatible with Vanilla?

    Tim are you available for paid support? Like, you login and fix all this? I need to launch the website asap. Please shoot me an email or PM.

    Yes I did click Save.

    Also, this is on the vanilla home page, which now I am no longer an administrator in:
