I'm coding a website and I included Vanilla 2 in it. Now I want to start the login system of the site. but is it possible to login from the normal site into the Vanilla system? I mean that I'm logged in in the site and the forum with one login with the use of the Vanilla system?! Is that possible with SingleSignOn and if yes; how could I use that "bridge"? I didn't understand this article really: http://vanillaforums.org/page/SingleSignOn
I've just installed Vanilla 2 and I'm trying to add some plugins. I was under the impression that I just had to upload the new plugins into the plugins folder (just like how wordpress plugins work), but I've done that and none of the new plugins are showing up. Am I doing something wrong?
First off, let me say that I am impressed with the quality of the Vanilla 2 and Garden codebase! So far, I haven't found any of the heinous crimes that PHP allows one to commit, and it seems like you have a sensible OO design and plugin architecture.
I work for FoxyCart, and we have a pretty large Vanilla 1 board that we'd like to move to Vanilla 2; there are many new features that we would really enjoy. One old feature, though, that we use a lot is the email notification feature. I see that it's planned in your roadmap, and I'm wondering how much of that is completed right now.
I like what I see so far with regard to notifications, and I'm wondering if email support is just around the corner, or if I should dive in and write a notification plugin myself. The main things we like about the current notifications are: - Per-category new conversation notifications. (we want to know when people ask new questions) - Conversation updates that notice when we visit the forum. (we want to know when someone updates a conversation, but email's not important if we're currently working on the board)
The most important feature of a new notification system for us is that it imports the old notification settings, so that people who are currently subscribed continue to receive updates.
Anyway, it'd be great if someone could tell me the status of all of this before I go even deeper into the Garden / Vanilla 2 code. Thanks in advance! :-)
Sorry if this has been asked before, but I couldn't dig up a recent thread on the topic so I thought I'd ask here.
Is Vanilla 2 at the stage whereby it can be hosted live without fear of major updates that will render it dead come future updates? I know I shouldn't use it live yet, I'm just curious to see if it's possible safely.
Wouldn't it be great to have open id supported on Vanilla. This would enable people to use their openid login information to be able to participate on Vanilla forum!
openid has PHP support libraries available, at this link :
Is there a way to export our vanilla database into bbpress? We creating a community site, using buddypres and bbpress and have extensive postings inside our vanilla forum. Has anyone done this?
I am unable to install vainlla 1.1.10, I got this error: "We came across some problems while checking your permissions... 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."
I removed the settings.php and database.php from conf, also I removed all tables!!! But still face same issue!!! Please help me out.... Also I removed the whole database, with NO result.... Please can you tell me what to do from A-Z??? I tried long hours but really feel so upset!!!!
I receive messages stating that access to my server was achieved but an error occured while trying to access the database I created on my server. The required fields are not meant for lamen folk like myself I presume as I cannot understand what you are requesting, so here are my inputs for your possible andsoonest reply and assistance where possible: MySQL Server MySQL Database Name XXXXXXX MySQL User XXXXXX MySQL Password XXXXX MySQL Table Prefix LUM_ (what is this and must I add something to it?)
Please, I want to see real live forums powered by vanilla, something that people customized, styled, made look cool. I can't find any 'showcase' link, so please post your links here.
