Cheers @Mark!
-
@Mark; Again, no insults meant, and I certainly was not implying that your forum is just for congratulations. I meant that if all you got were congratulations then you'd never know anything wasn't working for people in the wider world. Try to look a…
-
@Mark; The title of this post is more a statement about those who keep replying with comments like, "You shouldn't have to modify the core. Just write a plugin". Sorry if you take it as "insulting" to you or your team - it wasn't meant to be. But I …

Yeah, this is a real annoyance with many forum projects, and some boards have huge discussions about hacks to change the sort order. A simple option in Vanilla 2 would be helpful. (Watch someone say "Just write a plugin"...)
-
@brober27; In the /themes folder there's a ReadMe file which explains how to copy and modify the default theme. Here's part of it; 1. Copy this "default" theme folder and rename it to your new theme name. 2. Open the "about.php" file and edit the …

@Raize; The issue is that I have a few forums created using Vanilla 2, and am creating more. Uploading 5mb to each one, usually via mobile 'broadband' on a laptop, is a bit of a pain. Google realised that people were dropping off the numbers upgradi…

As the post title is 'Upgrade complaints', I'd like to add (again) that one of the most irritating and time-wasting things is having to upgrade the whole thing every time! This is happening a lot, as Vanilla 2 is still a baby. There must be an easy…

Bump; No update on this one @Mark, @Tim..?
-
Yep. I had a go at a plugin for this, based on code someone else suggested, but it didn't work properly (ie., not in some browsers). @Mark did the current one, but I noticed today that with it enabled Vanilla 2 is still saving drafts. Personally, a…

@DavyB; Not sure quite what you mean. More detail please..?
-
As an easy workaround I decided to remove the Announcement checkbox from the post form, and just create an 'Announcements' category which members can view but not post in. (root)/applications/vanilla/views/post/discussions.php around line 35 contai…

@Flam, @cdavid; Exactly where does this js go please..?
-
This is a bigger issue than I first thought when I read this thread a while ago. Bit of strange design here @Mark..? Sticky posts are not always announcements, and as far as I can see, all we can do is announce or post normally. Not good. A sticky …
-
Testing... Yep, happens for me here too.
-
All good @adriansonline. I suggested to @Tim a while back that a minimal installer would be good, as I'm sure many must be tired of having to unpack and upload the whole thing every time there's an update. As Vanilla 2 is updating so often, just the…
-
Have to agree with the points @sagar made. I love Vanilla 2, but feel that it's been released too early in the development phase - whether the developers felt it was too early is another matter. One real bugbear for me and my soon to be users is th…
-
@judgej; I agree that nested comments are a feature most people used to forums want, and those who aren't immediately see as making sense when reading through more complex threads. I haven't really looked at the Activity stream yet, but it is possi…
-
@Raize; Yep, that's the idea I thought might work, but then realised that differing registration requirements probably rule it out. For example, what if I have three forums (to start with), and two are open to all registrants, but one needs to be p…
-
I think I've hit a problem with my second idea; just using Categories as 'member areas'. One forum needs to have restricted membership (Admin approved only) while another is freely open to anyone who fits the membership criteria (no Admin approval n…
-
I think I mentioned this some weeks ago in a post. It'd be a very useful feature to be able to mark a discussion as 'Read' so things are tidied up. Would work wonders in these forums! Edit: Found my old post here. I just clicked Options->Dismiss…
-
May I add that I'm looking forward to some decent anti-spam features which don't use other sites like Akismet, etc. Drupal has some great stuff in this regard (but I like Vanilla - I know, I know...) The issue for myself and other web users I know i…
-
Good idea @adriansonline. One thing I posted about a while go, but am not sure is sorted out yet, is email confirmation when users register. (I'll be browsing around here over the next couple of days). I consider that essential, as I've previously …
-
I've been too busy to test this again since upgrading to 2.0.6, but if it's not fixed yet it's a major flaw which should be addressed immediately. Any news @Tim?
-
@ithcy; I mentioned this somewhere, and said that a plugin to allow discussions (and I guess comments) to be hidden would be a great addition. I don't have time to start writing something complex, but I was thinking that an 'Ignored' tab (similar to…
-
Yes @Tim. It only sounds off thread because of the words. :) In essence, I meant please get the basic stuff working before caving under pressure for new features. You guys may just be adding things to a 'To do' list, but the number of times I've se…
-
Admin email alerts when someone signs-up at your site would be a good idea first...
-
Yeah, a lot of languages are very literal, and quite fascinating.
-
Ha, cool thing (well, I think so). There are Hebrew translation functions in PHP since much of it was developed by those of a dark hat and curly hair persuasion (oops; bit of a stereotype there!) Hebrew speakers. Things like this, as well as multi-l…
-
I suspect discussions around embedding and attaching will grow, and it'd help if we can all search and pull threads together for each other to follow. The key point about it all, I think, is that those of us who are used to forums and posting don't…

@Desmanthus; Nice.
