Yeah @Tim, that would be great. While I can see how changing a username can be a good feature, on the forum with lots of users, I wouldn't want people to be freely changing their usernames left and right. Even if its a change in the config for now, …
-
great, that does work fantastic @rookie. thanks!
-
wondering if this concept can also be applied to all discussions not showing discussions from a particular category. Lets say if I want my All Discussions list to show all discussions except those from category #3? @Tim any thoughts?
-
actually, i really like that idea @eleith, I'll have to give it a try. One thing that I would want to avoid is having the user create a thread. Because if lets say you post the first comment, thus creating a thread, and you get 100 replies, you'll k…
-
yeah, basically this is how I see it: The forums have a category called Article Comments. Regular members can only post comments in this category, discussions are posted by a bot (have to figure this out still, perhaps through the API but not sure …
-
that works! thats exactly what I was missing. thanks @eleith you're a life saver!
-
this is what im currently experimenting with, but not sure if its the right direction. my php skills are a bit ancient :)
-
Well thats the issue that I'm having with my proxy page, I can't seem to get it to do a post to the api, keeps returning "You do not have credentials to post as this user" for me. I guess I'll keep playing with it.
-
anyway the data can be passed to the api as a string? ex: Comment/DiscussionID=1&Comment/CategoryID=1&Comment/Name=Name&Comment/TransientKey=123456&Comment/Body=textgoeshere or will that require rewriting the validation models?
-
what would, in your opinion, be the best course of action of passing the variables to the api/comment/add when the forums are in a subdomain? (comments being posted on www.domain.com/page.php while the api is at forums.domain.com/api/comment/add/) …
-
@eleith any idea if the variables can be passed to the api through the jquery $.ajax() ? or would curl work better?
-
that fixed it, working great now! thanks!
-
Hmmm no doesn't seem to work, even if I hardcode the transient key in. Perhaps I'm missing something from the form (its been a long day) form action="domain.com/api/discussion/add" method="post"> input type="hidden" id="CategoryID" name="Categor…
-
@eleith can you double check the comment/add, please. I keep getting "You do not have credentials to post as this user" even though everything being submitted for the logged in user is correct.
-
@eleith makes sense. It is on the same domain, so I'll get to work on this and try to figure it out. Thanks again for your help and the API, it has really gone a long way in helping me figure this out.
-
@eleith thanks! I also have a question, perhaps you or someone knows the answer so I'll just throw it in here rather than creating a new thread. If I have a php page, which is outside of the vanilla2/garden framework. is there a way to check to see…
-
@eleith any thoughts on how I can call /api/session into php? doing file_get_contents seems to produce a "bonk" message. file_get_contents does work for comments and discussions, but not for the session.
-
@eleith this is exactly what I was looking for! thank you! I haven't played around with adding the comments yet, but the displaying is working wonderfully. I can't thank you enough for this.
-
@eleith sure Basically what I envision is the article page will pass on the discussion id for the discussion thread which has been designated to this article. This will return all the posts so far in that discussion with username who posted the pos…
-
@eleith yeah i would greatly appreciate if you could make those modifications, would go along way in helping me with my integration. basically what I am looking to do is integrate vanilla2 into my website, where when I make an article there will be…
-
Interesting addon, I am just wondering how this can be adopted to display a specific discussion and all posts in that discussion perhaps?
-
@[-Stash-], I am with you on that one. I wish I was skilled enough or had the time to develop it on my own. I think it would be a fantastic feature. One thing that really makes Vanilla2 stand out for me is the fact that while it acts like a forum …
-
@garymardell thanks for your thoughts. The other option I thought of doing is building our own commenting system for articles, and doing the single sign-on integration between vanilla the the site. The last resort option would be to not integrate a…
-
It's a custom development. One idea that I had is perhaps integrating a thread into the article page through RSS, does a discussion have its own RSS feed? I know there is RSS for all discussions (http://www.domain.com/vanilla/rss/discussions) but if…
-
Working more on my project, I am getting to a point where I have to decide if I am going to adopt Vanilla as the forum/community system of choice. Basically, the community will be an integral part of the website, and will be built into the site. I …

Edit: doesn't work in IE either, gives me the following js error: Webpage error details User Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 8.0; Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; Trident/4.0; SLCC2; .NET CLR 2.0.50727; .NET CLR 3.5.30729; .NET CLR 3.0.30729; Media Cen…

@Mark thanks for the feedback! The function of dropping down the list of users when starting a discussion doesn't seem to work for me. I can see the To input field increase in height by about 10 or so pixels, but that's it, can't seem to see anythi…
-
just wanted to bump this, perhaps @Mark or @Todd can provide some feedback? :)
-
interested in this as well!
