The Official "Shameless Plug" Thread

onetwentyeight · July 2006

someone here has onetwentysix.com which is freaking me out because I've had onetwentyeight.com for 5 or 6 years. wierd. well. http://www.onetwentyeight.com is my personal forum, and hidden in a subfolder is a forum for track / fixed gear bike riders in san francisco. currently working with another member developing a plugin to help us organize group rides and impromptu races. Currently mostly used for us to trade parts and waste time and little group rides. A little over 200 members, all word of mouth.

Vanilla Forum, some extensions, no styling
My Secondlife Blog
I plan on overhauling my entire site this weekend, maybe even theming Vanilla, but modern web design isn't my strong suit.

Inky · July 2006

My site is constantly changing, mainly due to bad planning. But I'm happy enough with it in its current state to start showing it off! :P

- Homepage, using Wordpress for the blog.
- Vanilla forum, using the Scene style with a few tweaks. This is mainly just a place for me and my friends to post random crap.

giginger · July 2006

I shall investigate that tonight 3stripe!

http://giginger.co.uk is my current work in progress. Had to use a design from http://oswd.org because I can't design for crap but I'm working on it :)

edit: I should add that it's just a few pages at the moment. Files will be added in the near future.

Personal Blog for my vegan exploits
Work site for work and stuff

I am also building a vegan forum using Vanilla. I love the style and freedom it gives. I am a pseudo programmer (Oracle PL/SQL),
and will hopefully attempt to contribute to the Add-Ons.

Max_B · July 2006

This discussion deserve to be split in a category on its own (community "shameless" orâ€¦), for the sake of reference and readability.
Hm?

3stripe · July 2006

Hmmm there is a Random category, but I think that is meant to be Random AND on topic... maybe an offtopic category?

Donza · July 2006

I'm new here but enjoying the forum a lot. I am a teacher who used to have a Web Design & computer consulting business. I teach computer apps to high school kids. Right now my major passion is 3D and 3D online worlds.

My most interesting site is Donzas 3D. which showcases all the 3D worlds I made with a now defunct program called Adobe Atmosphere. My current active chat enabled 3D world is Seraglio West.

The plugin for Seraglio West (a Blaxxun world) does not auto-install but the page you will see has links on the bottom right to the 2 files you need to get it to work so that you can enter the world. Read the info link to have it all explained. It's a bit of a nusance but worth it I promise :)

Enjoy!

Max_B · April 2007

Hey,
Bumping this thread to add my own input.
It's been month since I'm member of this community and never posted a link to my own Vanilla integration. This is because I've been working on a full web application in which Vanilla is rather deeply integrated, and this is only two days ago that the site is publicly available.
It's a site about books, libraries, authors, readers and community on the matter.

From a Vanilla user/admin point of view, what is special there? Not so much :
â€¢ Custom theming to smoothly integrate into the global design.
â€¢ The most visible is the ajax updater in every page header to see recent forum posts. The update frequency is settable from user preferences.
â€¢ Full integration of Vanilla's people framework. It is used as the base for user administration, while all custom needed user settings are kept in the separate application database. So if an exploit is found in public Vanilla code, the harm would not propagate outside of the Vanilla database. The account tab is then pulled out of Vanilla tabs and showed at the main tab level. It features custom application settings, in a separate control form.
â€¢ ALL customizations of Vanilla are made by extensions, without core hacking. It uses my CategoryRoles extension and a modified version of LanguageSelector (no language select for unregistered user, the language choice is in the application settings and stored in application database). This and every other custom features are in a single custom extension, around 220 code lines.
â€¢ Extensions translations are in separates files as I often suggested in several threads.
â€¢ The special category "Livres/books" has an added feature. Opening a new thread is not allowed for users (as by CategoryRoles setting) but is automatic from the "community" application tab. Before Mark added the 1.1 post authentication I used my own.

I still have to add some needed extensions like "participated threads".

You need to register, through usual Vanilla controls, to see most of customizations. Feel free to do so. The registration is not moderated, for now.

If you care to look at the xhtml code of application dynamic pages (i.e. everything from the left sided top menu), notice that not a single bit of code is output with inline echo. The page content is made up building a php object tree rendered from its own method. This is to avoid false tag soup.

The next big step will be to design a robust cache mechanism, including forum pages. This is not an easy job because of the intrinsic volatile nature of application informations. I'll have to do so as user base will grow.

Last, two disclaimers:
â€¢ I'm not the owner of the site, I was hired to do it.
â€¢ It's brand new, has not been announced anywhere yet. This is beta step, be kind to inevitable bugs and lacks of features.

Here it is:
bookissime.com

I'll welcome comments, here or there.
