Парсер обсуждений вконтакте [russian]

mekhron — Thu, 22 Sep 2011 05:11:20 +0000

Заказал парсер обсуждений вконтакте, потратил 30$. Поэтому могу продать не больше 2-х копий по 10$ (одна зарезервирована).

Скрипт парсит обсуждения в контакте (задается url обсуждения) и внедряет в базу. Парсятся: сообщения, имя комментатора (как id, так и имя), дата написания комментария. Так же предусмотрена авторизация (для парсинга из закрытых групп).

В результате работы парсера, за 1 час можно наполнить форум до 100 тыс. уникальных и живых обсуждений. Это лучший способ раскрутить форум. Ведь в пустой форум никто не будет писать.

url рабочего примера могу скинуть при запросе.

custom.css Question ( theme switching )

422 — Tue, 22 May 2012 00:23:29 +0000

I have created a theme switcher.

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.

Spam Via Conversations

Desmanthus — Tue, 22 May 2012 23:11:45 +0000

Is there a flood control on private conversations like on comments?

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!

Add/change profil picture don't work.

mimi59 — Tue, 22 May 2012 23:24:00 +0000

Hi.

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.

Give Thanks to the Vanilla Developers!

UnderDog — Tue, 22 May 2012 16:40:34 +0000

Hi all,

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!

a single letter in Hebrew isn't working with tagging plugin

LiorV — Tue, 22 May 2012 05:33:30 +0000

Hi all, I wonder if there are any Hebrew speaking Vanilla users out here. I am having a problem with one single letter "ת" which doesn't work on the tagging plugin, It is just being ignored. Can anyone please help?

Tags bug

jsebean — Tue, 22 May 2012 17:10:04 +0000

This bug happened to me a couple times writing a topic when I try to backspace or something, I get an error it's x amount of characters too long, when I don't even see any additional characters aside from what I typed. When I hit the back button, then forward button, the above screenshot is what I saw, a whole bunch of random stuff looking like javascript.

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

Vanilla Badges :) Thanks Team

aery — Mon, 12 Dec 2011 17:52:15 +0000

I just received mail that I have received a badge for contributing to vanilla community. When was this feature launched. I always wondered that vanilla should employ game mechanics to attract more users. Thanks for implementing this.

Please deploy an addon soon for webmasters like us.

If anyone has the time two annotate at least these two themes..

peregrine — Sun, 20 May 2012 16:25:47 +0000

Bootstrap and Traditional Some of the steps in how they were created, the functions, etc. I think a large part of the documentation would be written. I think the functionality and look of these two themes is superb. I'm just beginning my ability to digest themes and I'm no designer so I can't provide much help here. But I am going to try to delve into them. Thanks for this two themes @kasperisager and @mcu_hq

It certainly would be a good addition to this excellent doc deploying a new theme

[Documentation] BeforeDiscussionMeta in single category

castaldi — Mon, 21 May 2012 09:19:02 +0000

I have a question about the DiscussionPrefix plugin.

I have edited the plugin to change the prefix to a label like the 'closed' label. Works good, except for the single categories. The function "DiscussionsController_BeforeDiscussionMeta_Handler" doesn't seem to work there. Also the original function 'DiscussionsController_BeforeDiscussionTitle_Handler' that is used by the plugin doesn't work in the single categories. On the homepage and in the tag lists both functions do work.

I've tried anything but I can't find a solution for this. I hope someone can help me (and others) out with this.

Thanks a lot in advance!

Problems getting the FAQ app to work

I am wondering if anyone know how to make vanilla forum compliant with the new EU cookie law.

Hello everyone, I'm new to Vanilla so please bare with me. What is the proper procedure to update a plugin. Eg. If I install a plugin and then a new version is released, what is the proper way to upgrade it without losing any data?

Thanks, Jonah

Themes for a Regular, Full-Width Forum?

critterhub — Sat, 19 May 2012 18:16:05 +0000

Hey guys,

Sorry if this is a stupid question, as I'm new to Vanilla.

I can't seem to find any themes that just show Vanilla as a "regular" ol' forum. (i.e. community.allhiphop.com)

Every theme has the sidebar or else it looks more like a "reddit" type forum than a regular full-width forum. I'm looking for the regular forum homepage as well - one that displays the parent/child forums, similar to community.allhiphop.com

Are there any Vanilla themes out there that do this?

fancybox makes my users logout

Apparently the fancybox makes my users logout every time they acces to a page that have something fancyboxed :/

Any Idea?

multiple tags search

netEditr — Sun, 04 Jan 2009 03:14:06 +0000

Does any of the tagging add ons support multiple tag searches? Lets say I want to search for all discussions containing [pizza]. Ok, so I click on [pizza] in the tag cloud. Then I want to further filter it by adding a [cheese] filter and I click that, so now it should be like: Discussions tagged with: [pizza] remove filter [cheese] remove filter Only discussions that have these two tags show up in the results.

Sink?

jsebean — Tue, 22 May 2012 01:22:36 +0000

Hey folks, What is sink on vanilla? I've noticed it and was just curious.

Option to display gender on user profile page

On signup vanilla asks a user their gender but this isn't displayed on the user profile pages by default. Is there an option somewhere on the dashboard to display it?

Vanilla developer kickstart

6apxat — Thu, 17 May 2012 14:54:33 +0000

Hi. First of all I want to thank Vanilla team and the community for great work on this project. Vanilla finally brings common sense to forum software and it's exactly what forum should look like.

However the problem that we encountered during the work on our project was lack of full documentation for developers.

We're currently building an online social game community and need to develop a custom theme for our forums and also add some custom functionality which is not included in the basic package or plugins. Our team didn't find the required information in the documentation area so we had to purchase a few custom premium themes to disassemble them and see how they're made. Basically we're now reading the source code and trying to figure out how things work.

My questing for the team and dev community is how does a vanilla developer get started?

Where to refer when basic CSS editing is not enough?

Any tips would be appreciated. Thanks!

FileUpload 1.5.2 not working with vanilla 2.0.18.1

tf1 — Mon, 23 Jan 2012 09:51:04 +0000

The plugin is not generating thumbnails (it defines a function UtilityController_Thumbnail_Create() but it is never used). As a result, it creates links to non-existent thumb images; some browsers will supply a broken image icon, but some, notably FF, will just ignore the img tag, which makes it look as if no file has been attached to a post.

I tried to insert the UtilityController_Thumbnail_Create() function into PostController_Upload_Create() but without success.

Session Integration? Plugins this board uses?

jsebean — Mon, 21 May 2012 12:02:32 +0000

Hey folks, I am really impressed by Vanilla Forums and really hope to see it grow bigger and bigger because it really rocks. I have a couple questions however.

First, is there a possible way to integrate sessions easily somehow? Eg. To check if a user is logged in or not on an external page?

Also, What kind of plugins does vf.org use? There is a number on here I'd like to use myself. Thanks!

Hello,

i am new to Vanilla and i just installed my first forum. But everytime i try to activate an other theme besides the default one, i always getting this error:

Bonk Something funky happened. Please bear with us while we iron out the kinks.

Did something went wrong in the installation of vanilla? Or do i have to do something special?

i downloaded the themes from here, extracted the zipped file and copied the entire folder in the THEMES folder of vanilla.

Maybe someone can help me out.

thanks in advance

Documentation and or tutorials.

peregrine — Sat, 17 Mar 2012 19:24:47 +0000

3 ideas.

1) add a documentation and/or tutorial badge to Karma plug-in.

2) And wouldn't be nice if a moderator on this board could change post titles that are solved and provide a good documentation or tutorial with a prefix like [Documentation] or [Tutorial] in cases where the post evolved into a good tutorial and where the original author cannot edit the title.

3) add the tags tutorial or documentation to the post. if the author cannot do it, could the moderator consider doing it.
