Came across a vanilla board I like. Way to obtain plugins, vanilla version, etc.?

Came across a site that I'm curious about since i like the designs and plugins.

its a site with custom theme:

I'm curious what version of vanilla it uses? is it possible to check the source code and examine it to figure that out? Mainly wondering because I want my site to function similarly with the same plugins.... However, I've been trying to find the plugins used for "image uploading" (Here's an example of a posted thread, at bottom where guest can reply there is an image upload option http://tinyurl.com/mj6ze7k )... I googled some of the code i found on the thread page ( class="CurrentUploader"class="CurrentUploader" ) and came up with "code for the uploader and got it to appear on any form on any page" which is located here: https://github.com/vanilla/addons/blob/master/plugins/FileUpload/views/attach_file.php
and here:
http://vanillaforums.org/discussion/22105/fileupload-addon-for-private-messages

so I believe Ive found the image upload code but just wanted confirmation from more experienced web programmers and vanilla devs on if its true. Also, I'm still trying to figure out what the quotes plugin is and the voting plugin is for each posts in threads. I believe the ability to vote posts is the popular voting plugin but with modified button images.

also there is a dev version of the site with a bootstrap theme:

if you can ID the version of the vanilla on here, that'd be nice. I like this theme better than the custom theme above. I found this in the source: href="/assets/bootstrap/css/bootstrap.css?v=2.0.18.4" what does that mean? which version of vanilla would that be compatible with?

Thanks.

    why don't you ask them.

    It means they are using an insecure version of vanilla 2.0.18.4 most likely, unless they separately patched and they are using newer jquery with an early version of bootstrap theme

    I may not provide the completed solution you might desire, but I do try to provide honest suggestions to help you solve your issue.

    Ive emailed the administrator kindly and they do not respond to anything. they don't post on the site either. im pretty sure its an abandoned site which is why im trying to "reverse engineer" it since i cant get information directly from the source.

    posts with 9/30/2014 don't seem to be abandoned to me. you are walking a slippery slope unless you see the licenses.

    I've been monitoring that site for months, the board goes completely un-moderated and administrator emails go un-replied. I just want to make a similar site want same plugins as that site. i know it uses anonymouse, but i dont know the quotes / voting / image upload plugins. plus i want a similar bootstrap theme. thats it..

    Thanks for pointing to that forum: it looks really unique! From what I see it uses Emoticons, Voting and Anonymouse as plugins. I guess some Quote and Upload plugin, too. But I haven't created an account, so there might be more plugins.

    The views are heavily modified. You would have to create a new discussions view and a new discussion view. But that is all there seems to be. /categories route to /discussions although categories are used, he forgot to route categories/discussions, too ;)

    So if you want to copy the look, you'll have to take care for mainly 2 views. But that's a really simple theme. I wouldn't go with Bootstrap for that.

  • Site looks great and I wouldn't copy / paste it for my own site. The CSS on that site is minified, so less easy for you to steal. Use it as an inspiration for your site.

    Listen to peregrine, he knows what he's talking about.
