• • Unable to get Vanilla 2 in a subdirectory (eg /forum)

  Hello,
  
  Vanilla 2 is looking nice. We'd like to give it a spin, but can't seem to get it installed outside of the server root. We are attaching it to an existing site, so would like to place it in forums.
  
  Looking at the debug log, it is looking for libraries in the root, even though the path is set to forum.
  
  Does anyone have it working in a subdirectory?
  
  We are able to get the same install working if placed in the webserver root.
  
  Any pointers, or is this still too early?

• • Has anybody made a jQuery UI theme for Vanilla 1 default style

  Vanilla 1.2 will come with jQuery 1.4.x and probably jQuery UI 1.8.x; however I still have to add the UI theme:
  
  http://jqueryui.com/themeroller/
  
  Do you know if someone made one already?

• • Large Vanilla Sites

  As a part of my considering adopting Vanilla, can anybody give sample URL's of Vanilla sites that are "large", meaning lots of content, lots of users, high traffic, etc.
  
  Thanks in advance.

  Is there a setting for this? Had a quick look but I can't see one. What to secure the join and sign up process. Cheers.

• • Vanilla 2 Upgrade

  I just did a upgrade test from Vanilla 1 to 2 today while preparing our upgraded support center. I noticed just two little issues with the upgrade script:
  - There is a typo in the upgrade script that is causing Comments to be loaded into the ConversationMessage table.
  - Username from Vanilla 1 is being loaded into the Name field in Vanilla 2, since username isn't used anymore, shouldn't First Name and Last Name be loaded into Name field?
  
  Otherwise everything worked smoothly and with some cleanup to roles and permissions and the addition of url codes for the categories, everythign was ready to go.

  The 30th line is
  Gdn::Session()->Start(Gdn::Authenticator());
  and I didn't altered it.
  
  If you can help, thank you.

• • Custom Domains for hosted forums?

  Is it possible to get a hosted Vanilla forum at vanillaforums.com and then change the A record so that you can use your own custom domain to access it? Exactly like Tumblr or Google Apps/AppEngine/Labs offers.
  
  http://www.tumblr.com/docs/en/custom_domains
  http://www.google.com/support/a/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=91080
  
  I'd much rather use a hosted solution so I can concentrate on forum cultivation rather than server admin.
  
  Any help appreciated.
  
  Thanks,
  matt

• • Very alpha: CKEditor in Vanilla 2

  So I've uploaded my very alpha CKEditor plugin. Not as much work as I'd feared, it only required two modifications to Vanilla 2 proper:
  
  

  • The nl2br regex in the Html() formatter should have a config option
  • There should be a RemoveJsFile method to complement the AddJsFile method.

  
  
  Now, the RemoveJsFile method could return a bool of whether or not the file existed, but as it could be found multiple times I suppose maybe the number of times found would be a good return value. (E.g. the count of $keys)
  
  Anyway, the changes can be seen in this commit here: http://github.com/LouisStAmour/Garden/commit/c1ba39dbb3ee53671f4bb229de6799fc901dd092
  
  As coded, this plugin might or might not be compatible with Vanilla Replies or VanillaCommentScore as I encountered an error at one point and disabled both of them, though it might be the JS' fault.
  
  Also, @Mark, is it possible to override JS or CSS from within a plugin, avoiding the need to remove 'discussion.js' just to add it again with a slightly different name? Or should we work on making the JS more extensible? The main incompatibility lies within jQuery's serialize() of the form, which doesn't seem to call the textarea's overridden val() to get the CKEditor's changes and so instead saves the original unmodified textarea that was hidden. One alternative could be a trigger for such changes before serializing the form.
  
  Oh and another change I've forgotten to make is to ensure all IDs are unique for textareas. (Right now they totally aren't, so my start.js overcomes that as necessary.) And to swap to using Google for hosting jQuery, though that could be part of future performance optimizations like 1.2 has received, I guess.

• • Remote server moved hardware - now no one can login at the forum

  Greetings,
  
  I had my site moved to another hardware at my remote VPS, while maintaining the same domain and remote paths.
  
  Now the forum is displaying some strange warning messages and can't login. Some has any idea what could it be?
  
  Here's the address: http://lolhehehe.com/forum/

• • 14 HTTP requests

  Pretty sure I brought this up with version 1 of Vanilla too..
  
  Is there really a need to make 14 http requests for each page before it's even rendered? There's so many calls for separate JQuery files its unbelievable.

• • SingleSignOn - How to?

  Hello,
  
  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

• • Problems installing plugins

  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?

• • Status of Email notifications

  Hello, developers!
  
  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! :-)

• • Vanilla 2 Stability

  Hi guys!
  
  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.
  
  Thanks!

  Is there a FAQ about 2.0 yet.

• • Adding OpenID support

  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 :
  
  http://openid.net/developers/libraries/
  
  Experts, how does it sound ? Thanks
