I don't believe this is possible just though the locale.

My current setup is:

• A fresh installation of Wordpress in site root (/public_html).

• A fresh installation of Vanilla in forums (/public_html/forums).

• Both running on the same domain.

• Both using the same database.

• Glue plugins uploaded to the appropriate location on both WP and Vanilla.

• WP Glue plugin config.php includes path to forum directory.

The first step after getting to this point is to configure the WP Glue plugin by adding the path to your forum directory to the config.php file. Once that is done, I try to enable the plugin from Wordpress, and this is the error I receive:

Fatal Error in Gdn_Dispatcher.xStart();

The "Gdn_Dispatcher" object does not have a "xStart" method.

The error occurred on or near: 
/public_html/forums/library/core/class.pluggable.php

169:       if (!method_exists($this, $ActualMethodName)) {

I originally contacted Lincoln for help, and he tried to point me in the right direction, but because he is a very busy man, was unable to help further.

If anyone has any advice for me, I'd very much appreciate it.

Thanks in advance!

During the page is being load, I scroll down the page. However, the page always scroll back automatically. It's annoying.

Why?

I am preparing to write a login screen for the other services (The first one will be a sort of profile page) using Django. I want to use the existing username/password pairs that are stored in the database for Vanilla. To do this I need to know how they are encrypted so that I can do proper comparisons for authentication.

I have started digging through the Vanilla code, but it is a little complicated (the framework doesn't make digging so easy, and I am not great with PHP). :-)

Any suggestions on this topic would be very appreciated.

Even a pointer to which files are involved in authentication would be a help. :)

can i enable all codes like blogger's post

Thanks, Spencer

Hey guys, it's me again, back from the dead. :) I'm writing you today with my official Open Social Foundation / IBM hat on. We'd like to work with you guys to start sending email notifications with embedded experience mime parts for an open social gadget that's part of Vanilla.

Demo sandbox: http://sandbox.opensocial2.org:8080

EE presentation demo from LotusSphere: http://ryanjbaxter.com/2012/03/04/embedded-experiences-demo-nd-social-edition-connections-next/

IBM will be shipping embedded experience support in Lotus Notes 8.5.4 "Social Edition" and we will be trying to promote this standard. As part of this, we are engaging our business partners but we'd also love to be able to point to some other open source software that provides this support.

Do you think you guys would have time to work with us and get this support into Vanilla? You guys already have the email notification part, adding the mime entry for it wouldn't be that hard. The only thing you'll really need is the open social gadget, and an oauth provider (so that the user doesn't have to authenticate).

1. The anti-spam plugins don't work. Or, rather, the blacklist plugin seems to auto-ban a few spammers but the rest get through. And the Askimet plugin will detect the spam but not delete it, even though the "Delete" box is checked. Which is probably a good thing, because it has detected several egregious false positives, strange because I've never seen false positive using Askimet for Wordpress.

2. The moderator controls aren't honed enough. It's easy enough for me to delete all of the day's spam by purging one user and all of his content, but my moderators have to delete each comment individually, which gets tiring fast. I do trust my moderators, but it seems foolhardy to give out permissions to anyone but myself to delete user records and associated content entirely bypassing edit the edit logs and any opportunity for oversight or recourse. What about a permission that would allow mods to hide all spammer content, but with possibility for reversion?

3. When I do delete a spammer, the forum is left a mess, with many threads last edited by [Deleted user], and even more problematic, the last updated timestamp isn't reverted to the last real edit. So historical threads are dredged up and float to the top for no reason. It might be worthwhile update to the Vanilla core to revert the "last edited" fields when a user is deleted.

My members are increasingly responding like the ship is sinking every time a wave of spam comes in, even if I reliably remove it within a day. I really wish there was either (a) a more reliable automated solution, or (b) I could safely empower other members to easily bulk-delete spam.

Sorry, I'm not much of a PHP dev, and I hope this plea isn't taken as arrogant with "fix it yourself" sorta replies. I'm just wondering how others may have successfully addressed their spam problems, or whether someone could point out what I'm likely overlooking regarding the problems listed above. Thanks :)

What kind of adjustments do I need to make to the mobile theme to make it show?

I'm trying to set up a vanilla installation which allows users to specify their preferred language in the preferences and change the forums locale accordingly for themselves. A couple of threads already exist on this topic, but some are very old and none is specific on how exactly to achieve a user-based language selection. Can anyone here point me in the right direction?

Thanks in advance!

Option to display gender on user profile page http://vanillaforums.org/discussion/comment/143606/#Comment_143606

but i want display it on the comment ?

anyone can help ?

@x00 @423 @Todd

Steps i followed.

1) downloaded Application from https://github.com/vanillaforums/VanillaAddonsApp

2) unzipped and copied at application folder in vanilla root.

3) navigate to dashboard, Addons, applications, select "Vanilla Forums Addons" application and click on enable button.

it is throwing error The "ActivityModel" object does not have a "xDefineType" method.|ActivityModel|xDefineType|

vanilla version Version: 2.0.18.2 Vanilla Forums Addons version: 1.0.1

Also I was looking for user documents, readme or some basic information how to configure this application and call default page from the main application

Thanks, Manish Bansal

But i want to moderate every new thread and answer, bevore they getting published. Is this possible?

I tried to add the anonym user in the ban-list. But the new threads and answers still getting visible instantly.

How can i to this? Thanks for your help!

Obviously it uses different css files, so lets say :

default is custom.css

We can trigger alternative themes, but need to append the new css file to the current page. Thats all done BUT !

They are named:

apple.css grape.css pear.css

My question is: will vanilla tolerate custom.css being replaced by apple.css in the dom. The switcher works perfectly and has cookies built in, so users can switch willy nilly across themes.

But wondering if its a goer with Vanilla.

If it is, I will deploy on a live test forum, this is for an upcoming commercial theme.

A bunch of my members just got spammed via private conversations. I deleted the member and that got rid of all the messages, but yuck!

When I upload a profile picture, nothing happens. And in discussions, the user name appears in a gray square instead of the avatar.

I do not understand. Could it be it's the permissions? I Have 755 on upload / userpic and I can not put 777 => Permission denied.

Sorry for my english.

Thanks.

I think it's time to give some kudo's, thanks, likes to the Vanilla developers!

These guys are working their respective asses off just to give us this kick-ass forum, it's time we give something back to them.

Documentation
Working on it. I think we, as a community, could work on that. We don't need the developers unless there's something really techy going on. We would love to see their input though...

Testing
We all should do some testing on 2.1 (on local system!).

The tech (coder) guys could do the more technical testing, see if plugins still work on 2.1, report weird stuff (and hopefully solutions!) and bugs on gitHub.

The theme guys could see if all the themes still work on 2.1, report weird stuff (and hopefully solutions!) on gitHub. Make more themes if you like, guys, 2.1 has some new things regarding themeing.

For the guys that say : "I'm not a themer and I'm not a coder" we could use your help on the Vanilla Wiki site. That brings me to the following question : Do we want full sourcecode documentation? Do we want a full user manual? Just a user-guide? Or only how-to's?

Plugins
Do all plugins still work with 2.1? Do they unpack / unzip correctly? (report from the plugin's page if it doesn't!) Any issues installing? Any issues using in combination with other plugins? Theme issues?

All this can be done, while our great Vanilla Developers are working on 2.1. We as a community could do these things. Who's willing to help?

in the meantime : say thanks to the developers!

Anyway, not sure where I'm suppose to post it but thought I should.

I saw in the config-defaults.php file, but i didn't see see how do it.

Can you help me?

*I can't do using .htaccess.
