Vanilla Comments Iframe Login issue

Kemat1an

Hi folks!
I'm having an issue with the login. I found the origin of my problem, but I donàt know where I can edit in order to permanently fix it.

I'm going to show you the issue through the images, is more explanatory than words...

How you can see, when I click on Comment As Button, the login box it is hidden from the iframe itself.

When I de-activate the height option, everything goes fine.

My question is, where I can edit that parameter?

Thank you in advance,
Angelo (Kemat1an) D'Agostino.

Okay try adding this to your vanilla forum
yourtheme/design/custom.css

#vanilla_discussion_embed {  
 min-height: 500px;
}

@vrijvlinder, you're right. The comments embed was creating discussions under his WordPress username instead of the WordPress post title.

@Kemat1an, you're welcome!

To repeat the solution for the wrong title problem, but with better formatting:

Open the /wp-content/plugins/vanilla-forums/comments.php file of the WordPress Vanilla Forums plugin:

Find this line:

var vanilla_url = '<?php echo get_permalink(); ?>'; // Current page's url

Add this under it:

var vanilla_title = '<?php echo get_the_title(); ?>'; // Current page's title

Additionally, I'm using the HTML pre tag to preserve the formatting of the code in this post.

You can try adding this to your site's theme

iframe[class*='vanilla'] {
 height: 100% !important;
}

Nothing Tama, still the same issue. I tried also to change the height parameter into 560px, but still not working. Into Google's Inspect Element the height parameter goes at the same fixed 139px (That I assuming is the Comment Textbox + Comment As button height.

What do you mean by 'coincides'? Would you give an example or screenshot of this?

I think he means the title of the discussion is his user name and not the discussion title.

@Shadowdare saved me. This is the solution:

Into wordpress/plugins, open /vanilla-forums/comments.php.
Find the line:
var vanilla_url = '<?php echo get_permalink(); ?>'; // Current page's url

>

Add this under it:
var vanilla_title = '<?php echo get_the_title(); ?>'; // Current page's title

That's it! Thank you for your assistance, I'm in debit with you!
