How can I remove the #item_ or..

Idan — Thu, 09 Feb 2012 20:42:34 +0000

I want that when the user has already visited a discussion, that the URL with the #item_ won't hide the text at the top. right now, when the user visited a discussion, it brings him to the last comments, but hides all the above comments. I don't want that. Is it possible to fix, or maybe change the time that is related to the #item generation (which I want to set to never))?

Using latest version

Thanks

How to space items in meta on Categories page?

ercatli — Thu, 09 Feb 2012 19:50:48 +0000

I'm using Vanilla 2.0.18, and while I've modified the theme quite a bit, to get the layout I want, I don't think I've modified anything in the core.

But the meta data on my Categories page runs some of the information together without leaving spaces. like this:

2 discussions 4 commentsMost recent: Comments on xxxxx by ercatliJanuary 25

I presume its the "Most recent: Comments on xxxxx by ercatli" that's at fault, not leaving a space at either end. But I can't understand why this happens or where to start to fix it.

Is this something anyone can help me with please?

Keeps starting New Discussion when already making one?

julesocean — Thu, 09 Feb 2012 16:19:14 +0000

Just put a forum online, however I'm having a problem in which when I'm typing the text of my message to be posted, the Auto-Draft Save bar comes up, and once every 3 times it will bring up the window to create a new discussion, when I already am typing in one, I have to "X" it out to be able to go back to the one I was typing.

Is there a way to fix this? Or just to disable AutoSave Draft altogether? Thanks.

Another way to export from bbpress?

njumara — Thu, 09 Feb 2012 14:21:49 +0000

HI everyone,

I'm having trouble exporting from bbpress. Basically, the operation is taking so long that the browser times out (tried firefox and chrome.)

I don't have a save to server button in vanilla2export.php

I have a deep integration bbpress install through pagelines, so the database is shared with my wordpress database (could be the problem?)

Is there anyway I can just get the tables I need from phpmyadmin and get them into vanilla 2? I'm guessing that the vanilla2export needs to configure them for vanilla 2... i don't know?

That's why I'm here, if you do know, any help would be awesome!

More Details?

clethrill — Thu, 09 Feb 2012 05:30:52 +0000

I am interested in this plugin. Could you perhaps give some more details as your short description is definitely short. I would download it and try it out, but so much school work :(

Just general details

Dupe content for the search engines with the permalink

bibosk8 — Mon, 20 Dec 2010 18:09:05 +0000

First, sorry for my english.

Actually, the link "permalink" on every post of the vanilla 2 create dupe content for the search engines.

For example:
This is the normal url
http://vanillaforums.org/discussion/13863/vanilla-2.0.16-released

And this is the url of the permalink:
http://vanillaforums.org/discussion/13863/vanilla-2.0.16-released/p1

Dupe content... the best is change this url of the permalink for the first, or add rel=nofollow.

Thanks!

Problem with Canonical URLs

Idan — Thu, 09 Feb 2012 07:47:37 +0000

I put the domain http://mydomain.com/categories/features in the browser and check the canonical tag, and it is showing 'http://mydomain.com/categories and it's not ending with the category name. Any reason why. It happens to all categories. Using the latest version of Vanilla.

Ha77man — Thu, 09 Feb 2012 13:32:21 +0000

Hi I am looking for someone to help me out on a project I am going to get back into.

I use to run a Drum and Bass music community a few years ago but I had some problems with the hosting company and lost my entire website. Before it was PHPBB but I have recently found Vanilla and would like to give it a go.

If you think you are interested in helping let me know.

Twitter Login Bug

ryanopaz — Thu, 09 Feb 2012 12:15:01 +0000

So I have the Twitter authentication plugin working. Though I have a private board I'm setting up so I need it that anyone who signs up has to be approved.

With the facebook plugin I was able to get the user to go to "applicants", but with the twitter user they were immediately made a member. And could start posting.

Thoughts?

Vanilla as Wordpress comments replacement

joesys — Sun, 09 Oct 2011 00:26:44 +0000

Guys,

Anybody ever thought of this?.

I tried the WP integration plugin and it works great, but I was thinking, what about capturing also the discussion going on in the post comments and have it all in Vanilla.

Any of you guys did something like this?

No notification to user for email confirmation!!

keshavhl — Wed, 08 Feb 2012 18:17:20 +0000

I have noticed a problem with vanilla after I saw the log of user registration at my site about the notification not been popped up telling users to confirm email before accessing forum. I created a dummy account to clear my doubt and nowhere after I clicked on sign up button it asked me to confirm my email first before I can post in the forum.

Not here the problem starts. My users think they have successfullly signed up but then see there is no option to add new posts or comment. So they leave the forum and half of them never returns.

One of my member had previously asked me how he can contribute coz he couldn't find the option to start new threads. At that point this issue didn't come into my mind and now I know what's causing the confusion?

Please suggest some solution to add a notice after the users are signed up to confirm email before continuing.

The forum is here environmentabout.com/forum

[Bug] - Spoilers conflicts with Emotify - Outputted but clicking produces no result

ottorobba — Fri, 04 Feb 2011 16:45:22 +0000

I can use the tags and the "Spoiler: Show" appears but nothing happens when you click on it. You can see it happening here http://www.mongbat.com/forums/#/discussion/comment/90824 and on the message below it.

If more comments with the spoiler tag happen, the "Show" button starts to duplicate.

Anyone?

EDIT: Turning off Emotify fixes it. Hmm.

Are there any tutorials and/or plugins to make Vanilla 2 more search engine friendly. I am not looking for anything crazy in depth. But a simple tutorial on how-to SEO your Vanilla 2 forums would be great.

Vanilla Tutorial/Documental Site

dodgerid — Mon, 23 Jan 2012 20:34:53 +0000

I mentioned in a post a little while ago about vanilla having a wiki style documentation like another well know software publisher, simply because it attracts information from coders in a simplified form making it easier for novice programmers to find there legs within the code.

It was a great springboard for me and really got me into that software, even though all I knew about php before then was the syntax and the basics, what attracted me was the layman like examples of code that enabled me to build more than a hello world plugin and I got brave enough to actually write a cross site authentication plugin that allowed users to all be registered in one database and authenticate everywhere or for each site to replicate signups across the network of sites (and a few bits besides) but I could not have done it without the examples that made me brave.

Lots of people have good Ideas that never get programmed simply because as soon as they start looking at how a particular system works it gets confusing without good sign posts and they run.

What I am looking for is support for this idea as we all know the Vanilla crew are busy people, are there any app or plugin programmers out there willing to contribute to this site if i create it ?

Are there any people out there willing to help maintain it ?

What do you think of the idea ?

IMHO I think it could be a really good thing for vanilla in helping people build the confidence to give it a go.

What do you think ?

.htaccess help

emery — Wed, 08 Feb 2012 05:35:16 +0000

i have a .htaccess file ,

Original

If you modify this file then change the above line to: # Modified

RewriteEngine On # Certain hosts may require the following line. # If vanilla is in a subfolder then you need to specify it after the /. # (ex. You put Vanilla in /forum so change the next line to: RewriteBase /forum) # RewriteBase / RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php\?p=$1 [QSA,L] //Custom 401 errors ErrorDocument 401 http://snowblazers.tk/vanilla/index.php?p=/dashboard/home/permission

//Custom 404 errors ErrorDocument 404 http://snowblazers.tk/vanilla/index.php?p=/dashboard/home/filenotfound

It just goes to my main 404 page when going to /vanilla/ now
