• • Bugs? plugin: Vanilla Replies

  Hi.
  I enabled the plugin "Vanilla Replies" which comes with V2&Garden,
  I encountered with two problems.
  
  1.
  I keep getting the message when I try to start a new discussion following:
  
  "A fatal error occurred while processing the request.
  The server returned the following response: parsererror"
  
  Though i got this message, I was able to create the discussion.
  When I refresh my browser, it's there.
  
  2.
  When posting a comment, the text I wrote stays in the textbox (does not refresh automatically).
  The comment section usually refreshed after posting by AJAX, doesn't it?
  
  Anybody have same problem?

• • Editing Roles Bugs

  Hi all. I don't know if this is a know issue, but probabily it is. When I try to edit the roles, they keep the same, after it says: Permissions Saved. And I can't re-sort the roles. To do this things, I have to open PHPMyAdmin and edit them there. Is this going to be fixed soon?
  
  Thanks,
  Scorch

• • Cannot change Role Name

  Hi.
  I am very new to this software.
  not so good at PHP & DB.
  
  I just installed Vanilla2&Garden yesterday on my rented server.
  I tried to change the name of Role (ex. banned to disallowed) in admin page,
  though the message said "your change has been saved",
  the role name is still displayed as "banned".
  
  Is this a folder permission problem or something?
  I need little help.
  
  thanks.
  
  #if there is a similar discussion to this pls let me know.

• • Is there a simple example import script/doc?

  Is there a simple example script showing how to import users and posts into Vanilla from another (in my case, file-based) forum?
  
  I've seen the phpBB import script that was mention here, but I wonder if there is a clearer official docs/example that shows how, and what is necessary, to create users and posts, either directly in the mysql database or maybe by calling the internal Vanilla functions?
  
  I guess I could work it out for myself by trawling through the code/database structures, but it would be great to have some definitive docs/example on e.g. which of the many SQL fields are necessary to set when you create a user or comment.

• • sitemap.xml auto creation

  Just wondering if anyone has done this for Vanilla 2 yet? I was thinking about developing a plugin that returned a dynamic sitemap.xml output whenever example.com/../sitemap.xml was requested, but I'm not sure that's the right way to go. I imagine the best approach would be to generate a flat sitemap.xml file every 24 hours or so. Any thoughts?

• • Trojans in Vanilla?

  A user on my forum messaged me and told me that he has messages on his computer saying "there is a virus attached to the site", and it caused his computer to auto reboot. Any idea why he's getting this?

• • Naming Conventions & Core Cleanup: Your Thoughts

  Todd and I have been talking about doing some housekeeping to the core application. Many of the classes in the core are currently prefixed with "Gdn_". This is, of course, done to avoid name clashes with classes from other libraries. The "Gdn_" is intended to mean "Garden".
  
  There are a number of classes that have not yet adopted this naming convention throughout Garden, and NONE of the convenience functions in library/core/functions.*.php use this convention. The functions pose a big problem as you get into things like including an external application's templates in a Vanilla template (or vice versa).
  
  It has also been bugging us that Vanilla is the product, and Garden isn't really understood by very many people. We'd like to get rid of the name Garden altogether, and just call the product Vanilla, change the garden application name to "Dashboard", change all functions, class names, and table names to be prefixed with "vn" instead of "Gdn_", and change the GitHub repo to be located at something more like http://github.com/vanillaforums/vanilla.
  
  Obviously this is a huge set of changes, but we feel that these are extremely important changes to make before (a) more people adopt the code and start developing with it, and (b) an official release of Vanilla 2 comes out.
  
  We'd like to know what the community developers (you guys!) think before we take any action.

• • Installation - which file: two different links

  I would like to try out Vanilla. I'm looking for a forum for my page and it'll either be Vanilla or Phorum. As it is, this page http://vanillaforums.org/page/InstallationInstructions tells me to install a different package than this one: http://vanillaforums.org/download
  
  The first one is with Garden, apparently. Do I need that or is that only for developers?

• • Need Help With Add-Ons

  I could really use some help. I downloaded a few add ons but I don't understand HOW to install them.
  
  "it must be contained within it's own directory within the extensions directory. So, once you have downloaded and unzipped the extension files, you can then place the folder containing the default.php file into your installation of Vanilla. The path to your extension's default.php file should look like this:
  
  /path/to/vanilla/extensions/Sidepanel/default.php"
  
  I'm not understanding where the extension directory is and how do I place the camera looking file into it.
  
  Thanks

• • Lines Breaks

  Is anyone else bothered by requiring a <br /> to get to a new line?
  
  I shouldn't need to use HTML just to start a new line like this...
  
  Having to have a space between my lines (like this ^) making it a new paragraph when it isn't, is annoying.

• • "Can't post comments."

  My users are experiencing this problem some of the time, but not always:
  
  

  Sometimes when posting a comment the request is redirected to /garden/home/permission which says "Permission Problem A fatal error occurred while processing the request. The server returned the following response: JKLNDHGFRPJP" However there is no message that says "Couldn't post" or any message, the loading icon just stops. While this might not be a problem, could you elaborate what is happening?

• • Role Colors

  I've been searching and can't find such an add-on. Does one not exist? It would be nice to have different user colors for admins, and possible different colors for male and female. Thanks!

• • Too stupid to re-install Vanilla 1.1.10 ;-)

  Hello,
  
  I installed Vanilla 1.1.10 some days ago (for testing purposes) and everything was fine. I removed it from the Server but now I wanted to install it again and what I get is the following:
  
  "Vanilla seems to have been installed already. You will need to remove the conf/settings.php, conf/database.php files, and all database tables in order to run the installer utility again."
  
  So I removed the settings.php and database.php files but what is meant by "all database tables" and where do I find them?
  
  The seceond thing I don`t understand is how "anyone" knows that the sotware had been installed already when the Server is empty and I download the software again.
  
  Excuse my lack of technical understanding and (possibly) bad English, I`d be glad if someone could give me an understandable instruction how to reinstall this software since I`d really like to use ist. ;-)
  
  Thank you,
  Katharina
