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.
I looked in the documentation section but I didn't see a simple list of features that this forum software has...
Does anyone know if there is an add-on that would allow additional fields? For example, there is the Title, Category and box where you type your message, but if I wanted to add another another field, like, URL, how difficult would that be?
Also, I'd want to allow users to attach a file to their post. I saw an attachment plug in, but looking at the comments, it seems like it doesn't work very well... is there one that works?
Vanilla 1.1.10 setup, runs great, love the forum tool! However run into a minor problem that I can't quite find a solution for:
The Vanilla forum is setup on a sub-domain to the main site eg: mywebsite.com & forum.mywebsite.com. I've got a few minor administration tools for the main site which I've setup authentication for using the forum logins ie: if they want to visit and edit mywebsite.com/admin/subscribers then they will be redirected to the login page for the forum (forum.mywebsite.com/people.php?ReturnUrl=http%3A%2F%2Fqbt.development%2Fadmin%2Fsubscribers), and should they login correctly, they are now also logged in as an administrator for mywebsite.com. I'm adding the ReturnUrl which is added in EXACTLY the same way that it is if it was on the forum domain, however it seems that because the domain is different - even though it is a sub-domain - the ReturnUrl is ignored and the user is first returned to the login page again, then redirected to the forum's home page.
I've toyed around with a few things in the SignInForm function unsuccessfully and can't QUITE crack this problem. Any suggestions?
I have found that I get errors when deploying my Vanilla 2 set-up and theme to my webserver using capistrano. Capistrano ( http://capify.org ) uses a symlink called "current" to point to a release folder which is timestamped and might look something like "20100308042106". After I have more then 5 release folders, I have capistrano clean out the oldest one as to not keep too many versions on my server.
What I am finding is that somewhere along the way Garden/Vanilla stores the absolute url of my release folder as a point of reference and not the symlink "current" folder. This causes me to get failed to open stream errors, because it is looking in a release folder that no longer exists. An example of this is this error:
include_once(/home/deploy/public_html/EXAMPLE.com/releases/20100308042106/public/forums/library/core/class.controller.php) [function.include-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory
I can't really tell where this release folder is being stored within the application, as I would like it to point to the "current/" folder rather then the actual release - or I can move it to a "shared" folder potentially to avoid this issue. Subsequently, I also get this error, from what I can only assume is an instantiated class from a previous release version...
Fatal error: Cannot redeclare class Gdn_Controller in /home/deploy/public_html/mclafan.com/releases/20100308042106/public/forums/library/core/class.controller.php on line 1127
I am looking for someone who could help me get the following thing done.
A chat, which docks at the bottom of my Vanilla Forum. Logged in members should be able to activate the chat and talk to each other. As simple as possible, no other options than activate and deactivate.
I would be willing to pay for the development, depending on how much is needed. Maybe there are some others too.
will v2 support page creation in the near future? i would personally like to discontinue use of WP asap. Maybe something like a bloging or content management system?
Hey! I host my site with 1&1 and I was trying to install Vanilla 2. I ran the installation, filled all the fields. But I got a proble with connection. My Database Host address is: localhost:/tmp/mysql5.sock But Vanilla seems to ignore evrything after the colon, because I got error: Access denied for user: 'xxx@localhost' (Using password: YES) Then I tried to type something else and separated it with colon... I typed hello:world And got error: Unknown MySQL server host 'hello' (1) So it ignored the text after colon again. I don't know if this is a bug or sort of protection. But what should I do?
