  • Hi Stuart, From what I understand (and from messing around with my install) the orginal URLs will still work. What mod_rewite does is when it gets a request to http://forum.mydomain.com/categories/ it tells the server to execute to code l…
  • check this stuff (if you haven't already) 1) have mod_rewrite enabled in you httpd.conf file 2) use the .htaccess file mentioned by wanderer above 3) if you are using the page manager extension "resync" your tabs (setting>>page management) a…
  • I'm kinda new to vanilla and kinda bad at mod_rewrite but I was wondering would it be possible to make the category URLs use the category name rather than the ID ?

  • I worked it out The plugin writes the text of the pages to CustomPages.php. When is does that it escapes and single quote characters so that the text string still works. I had already escaped the single quote in my string so custom pages doubled i…
  • strangely it works, now that I have put the php code within the php tags *smacks self round head*
  • ahh, that explains the problem. i'm a muppet Thanks bjrn you have saved me from my own stupity.
  • brjn, I just read your edit I have now put $Context->Dictionary['ApplyForMembership'] = 'Sign me up'; in the /conf/language.php and it displays $Context->Dictionary['ApplyForMembership'] = 'Sign me up'; on the top of the page should the be…
  • let me revise my post I haven't touched the definitions.php what I have done is added $Context->SetDefinition('ApplyForMembership', 'Sign me up'); to the conf/language.php in order to override the existing values (as it says in the docs) …
  • I have some oddness too, I added to the http://lussumo.com/svn/vanilla/trunk/languages/English/definitions.php file the following $Context->SetDefinition('ApplyForMembership', 'Sign me up'); as it says in the docs and it displays $Contex…
  • I have been having intermittent log in problems across browsers reported by a variety of users. I haven't found the underlying cause because being intermittent its tricky to reproduce. My forum was set up with the URL as forum.mydomain.com My…
  • OK, Thanks Mark I'll see if I can find something to rip the swf's to mpg or similar. FYI, youtube accepts ( .wmv, .mov, .mpg, or .avi )
  • Like wanderer says "YouTube provides a convenient embed link" Its like this, the Screencasts are really good quality not just in terms of video but also the coverage of key functionality and Matt's presentation style. In short they are a rea…
  • that's about the size of it
  • I would be happy to stick them up but ... a) the screencasts http://getvanilla.com/tour/posting/ are his content b) I don't have the underlying files for them and don't know how to rip them from the flash movie.
  • Mr Do, That's what I want to do but with the feature tours that Mark has put togehter here which currently aren't on you tube (that I can find). So I guess what I'm asking really is Mark could you put these http://getvanilla.com/tour/posting/ …
  • @DinoBoff, YOU ARE A GENIUS !!! Sirnot's Page Manager adds "Page Management" to the Settings Menu, under page management at the bottom of the form is a "Resync tabs" link, this seemed to sort it out Thanks guys Neil
  • @wanderer good point well made about the folder name :D
  • Dinoboff, I am using Sirnot's Page Manager but thats the only tab that is actually picking up the right path
  • hmmm, I had a nose around in the files you suggested, I not a php programmer but I can just about work out the flow of the code. This is really weird. I'm not making it up honest !!! take a look for yourself http://forum.show-and-stay.co.uk/ …
  • Hi Wallphone, Sorry I should have been clearer, I have done that already "I went into the conf directory and amended all the settings I could see" I have changed the following already ['BASE_URL'] ['FORWARD_VALIDATED_USER_URL'] ['COOKIE_DO…
