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?
How could I add a custom field to the topic starter form. In other words, right now you can type in a title, choose the category and type your message. But, I want to add one additional text field. Would anyone be willing to tell me how this would be done?
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.
Vanilla 2 is looking sweeeet. It has such a modern feel, and some very high tech features (while I was typing this a little tab just notified me that a draft of my post has been saved). Wow, all I can say is FINALLY the forum software I've been searching for...so excited for the final product.
My plugin idea for anyone who is thinking ahead, is one that Autoposts to Twitter anytime a new thread is created. It's simple and it's perfect both as a service to current members, and as a way to attract new ones. This would go hand in hand with future social networking opportunities that Vanilla 2 is already poised to take advantage of.
