Wow, I signed up back in Oct 2005? Awesome. Now that I think about it, I was using PunBB and SMF back in 2002-2003. Wow that was a looong time ago.

  • 22 days later, I've totally forgotten about this effort. Turns out they were looking for something quick with WordPress instead. The result isn't a forum, or even custom code, but seems to temporarily satisfy ... I'm also showing off a multitouch s…
  • Right now I think the v2 docs are more for programmers than end-users. This kind of info might belong better in an end-user FAQ section.
  • I wonder, though, if applying jQuery-claypool as a JavaScript MVC layer might not result in a better, clearer experience? Models can then be cleanly modified before being applied using views that can be overridden in themes, just as in PHP, but with…
  • @Dinoboff I agree about AddScript being too low-level, though I'm not sure if I want to require scripts by default to specify all that or list their resources. And themes should be able to override the JS of plugins where necessary, as JavaScript of…
  • I don't have the time until Friday evening or the weekend to work on it further, but I'd appreciate any feedback on how it should work within Vanilla. Right now I'm thinking of having it scan for links in the text box, load them below the textbox, t…
  • Right now, toolbar options etc. are hard-coded within the plugin JavaScript files but should still follow CKeditor practices. Which features of CKeditor are you looking for? I've another version that adds oEmbed functionality, though I haven't yet a…
  • Well, using jQuery-oembed's code, I managed to make a proof-of-concept CKEditor plugin, but having it replace the pasted or typed URL (after you hit space) with the embedded video or clip from wikipedia is more than a little odd. I now see why Faceb…
  • Meh. It's all moot, as if you use gzip in Apache to send the .zip files, you're probably sending less data than you think. http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_deflate.html (Not necessarily supported by all browsers, can cause extra overhead, bu…
  • @mksontag: If you search for your site in Google and it says, "This site may harm your computer" (like so) then follow these instructions from Google. Mysterious reboots aren't necessarily a virus, they can also be caused by inconsistent power or …
  • @Trashofmasters Thank you for being more specific. As I said, I can't commit changes, but I'll read over what you've linked to, I'm half familiar with some of it. All I can suggest is that patterns are merely patterns, and don't always have to be …
  • Using tar.gz (.tgz) or tar.bz2 approximates most if not all of the same savings compared to .zip and has the added bonus of requiring no additional software on Linux or Mac OS X. Just double-click or tar xzf JQuery.v19-1.4.2.tgz (to create, use tar …
  • The problem with making it "pure CKEditor" is I know I'll need PHP for the oEmbed unless they support JSONP. Hang on, let me Google-- Oh look: http://code.google.com/p/jquery-oembed/ Okay, maybe this'll be even easier than I thought. It does need …
  • Trashofmasters, Regardless of anything you've said in the last few posts (which I found very hard to understand), have you not heard of Benevolent Dictator For Life (BDFL; Wikipedia)? You've a forum to speak here, and it's obvious you've spoken. B…
  • Thanks for the sample, @ZeFish -- I expect I'll mostly be writing JavaScript (or CoffeeScript) for the interactions with CKEditor, with associated styles & such. I'm still torn as to how to do this--should it be an auto-insert (and HTML generati…
  • Yes, and I was surprised CKEditor and other such editors don't already have an oEmbed-style plugin already. It's so useful to create links and such that people want to click, just by copying and pasting what's in your address bar!
  • Thanks for the link! I think I'll add that kind of functionality to my CKEditor mod for Vanilla 2.0. Making an oEmbed provider out of Vanilla would be fun too, and useful as a way to use the same oEmbed code to create smart links for Vanilla forum t…
  • @S - I totally bought this up in my CKEditor plugin for v2: http://vanillaforums.org/discussion/10711/very-alpha-ckeditor-in-vanilla-2/ Though I almost feel as if this needs to be a per-post option, like how you could select what editor to use in V…
  • @[-Stash-] (I hope the nickname highlighting works on *that*) I agree about the footer bit. And I suppose scripts could also specify jQuery.ready for on-DOM load, although Google's idea of having JS that loads to write in further JS might be worth …
  • @bobtheman I would totally agree with ya. Any thoughts, @Mark?
  • Yeah, @BlakeX is on the right track. OpenID means 0-signup, it just works, with every provider but Facebook and Microsoft, last I checked. That means you can login with AOL, Yahoo, Google/Gmail, and so many others. I wrote some code last year while …
  • I just made a quick CKEditor plugin for Vanilla 2, though even then it required a code modification or two to Vanilla/Garden. What can I say, it's still in flux-- which is a good thing. And really, Vanilla hype? It's been around (and relatively tiny…
  • v1.2 has apparently received much optimization in browser performance like this. As for v2, I've been raising the idea of compiling all CSS and JS into one minified file each in a production mode, and updating it manually or when plugins/apps/themes…
  • That's probably the most logical way about it, to treat the JS like any other theme or designable resource, since the JS relies on CSS selectors in HTML that could be overridden through views. So where views can be overridden, so too should CSS, JS …
  • That's odd, it works for me. Add this to your conf/config.php to remove the bonk message:$Configuration['Garden']['Errors']['MasterView'] = 'deverror.master.php';
  • @Mark, great addition! Having said that, HeadModule just isn't easy enough to work with for the purpose of removing JS, or at least CSS, as it might be stored in multiple locations, thereby changing the src URL. A better approach is to remove the JS…
  • How about as RSS, e.g. http://vanillaforums.org/rss/discussions ? ;-)
  • @Mark, if we are swapping to Vn from Gdn, what will distinguish the framework from the forum? I don't want to use the wrong controller as a basis for my application, etc. Why not swap out all visible references but leave the garden nomenclature und…
  • @bobtheman or @oliveolive: I suspect if it doesn't work in a subdirectory, e.g. example.org/forum, but does work in a subdomain, e.g. forum.example.org, on the same host, then the problem lies with Apache not figuring out that /forum/index.php/garde…
  • It sounds like you're having the same problem @bobtheman is having, where for whatever reason, the routing code can't figure out that you want to start gardensetup and decides instead to 404 before the setup code can create the right configuration t…
  • @Mark that really should either be default, or a preference somewhere as part of a "Production mode" switch. Maybe I'll add that thought to my fork of v2.
