Use Vanilla for comments section

dennis1001

I'm building a website where users can upload html5 games. How can I automatically create a vanilla thread for each uploaded game and embed it on the game page as a comments section? It should work like the wordpress comments section here on vanilla forums: http://vanillaforums.com/blog/news/why-host-with-vanilla/#vanilla-comments.

You could look at the addons code hosted on github, search these forums for recent link

I don't know which code you mean, but I have looked into the code of some plugins and that did not really help me.

This is my current code:

define('APPLICATION', 'Vanilla');
define('APPLICATION_VERSION', '2.0.16');
define('DS', '/');
define('PATH_ROOT', 'community');
ob_start();
require_once(PATH_ROOT.DS.'bootstrap.php');
ob_end_clean(); // clear any header output from vanila
$Session = Gdn::Session();
$Authenticator = Gdn::Authenticator();

Now I am looking for something like this for displaying:

$discussionID = 12;
$DiscussionController = GDN::DiscussionController();
$DiscussionController->Get($discussionID);
$DiscussionController->Render();

and something like this for adding a discussion:

$DiscussionController->Insert($discussionTitle, ...);

Any idea?

you might need to update vanilla to 2.0.18 - the latest one

and the addons app 422 is talking about is here addons

Thanks for the link.

I am running the latest version 2.0.18.

Do you know which addon was used for the wordpress comments at http://vanillaforums.com/blog/ or the addon comment embedding at for example http://vanillaforums.org/addon/729/thankful-people?

i see they use an integration of wordpress and vanilla at http://vanillaforums.com/blog/ but still not sure. Todd and Lincoln can explain you better on this.
