Vanilla 2 is looking nice. We'd like to give it a spin, but can't seem to get it installed outside of the server root. We are attaching it to an existing site, so would like to place it in forums.

Looking at the debug log, it is looking for libraries in the root, even though the path is set to forum.

Does anyone have it working in a subdirectory?

We are able to get the same install working if placed in the webserver root.

Any pointers, or is this still too early?

Thanks in advance.

]]> Vanilla 2 Upgrade http://www.vanillaforums.org/discussion/10808/vanilla-2-upgrade Thu, 11 Mar 2010 15:18:23 -0600 mcard 10808@/discussions I just did a upgrade test from Vanilla 1 to 2 today while preparing our upgraded support center. I noticed just two little issues with the upgrade script:
- There is a typo in the upgrade script that is causing Comments to be loaded into the ConversationMessage table.
- Username from Vanilla 1 is being loaded into the Name field in Vanilla 2, since username isn't used anymore, shouldn't First Name and Last Name be loaded into Name field?

Otherwise everything worked smoothly and with some cleanup to roles and permissions and the addition of url codes for the categories, everythign was ready to go.

]]> JQuery plugin updated to v19-1.4.2, gets CKEditor 3.1 http://www.vanillaforums.org/discussion/10699/jquery-plugin-updated-to-v19142-gets-ckeditor-31 Thu, 18 Feb 2010 11:34:53 -0600 [-Stash-] 10699@/discussions Read about the v19-1.4.2 update

Hey everyone, long time no see. I've just updated my JQuery extension for Vanilla 1 to jQuery 1.4.1 and added CKEditor to it. Please everyone have a go and break it, I'm sure it's a little rough around the edges, but it worked for me on Vanilla 1.1.10 so have at it!

CKEditor require HTML Formatter to be installed and enabled, you should also save your sanity and formatting by turning the HTML_CONVERT_NEWLINES option to "0" (zero).

Please let me know what you guys think.

]]> Email notification http://www.vanillaforums.org/discussion/10500/email-notification Fri, 15 Jan 2010 00:54:13 -0600 MichaelAnthony 10500@/discussions Was wondering if there's any way I can turn off email notification for this site (vanillaforums.org/dicussion). I receive over 300 emails a day as it is, and now there's more whenever someone replies to a thread. I might be wrong with this: does it only send off notifications when I bookmark a topic?

Also, an idea: Maybe there should be only one email for a topic, even if there are 30 replies. The email would say something like, "There are updates to a discussion you are involved in. Click here to see the latest update, or click here to unsubscribe from this thread."

I followed the steps as seen in the annoucements section

At the step 6, I can see this :
"Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_OBJECT_OPERATOR in /homez.338/website/www/forum2/index.php on line 30"

The 30th line is
Gdn::Session()->Start(Gdn::Authenticator());
and I didn't altered it.

If you can help, thank you.

]]> Custom Domains for hosted forums? http://www.vanillaforums.org/discussion/10775/custom-domains-for-hosted-forums Fri, 05 Mar 2010 14:03:09 -0600 matt 10775@/discussions Is it possible to get a hosted Vanilla forum at vanillaforums.com and then change the A record so that you can use your own custom domain to access it? Exactly like Tumblr or Google Apps/AppEngine/Labs offers.

http://www.tumblr.com/docs/en/custom_domains
http://www.google.com/support/a/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=91080

I'd much rather use a hosted solution so I can concentrate on forum cultivation rather than server admin.

Any help appreciated.

Thanks,
matt

]]> Very alpha: CKEditor in Vanilla 2 http://www.vanillaforums.org/discussion/10711/very-alpha-ckeditor-in-vanilla-2 Sun, 21 Feb 2010 12:49:29 -0600 Louis 10711@/discussions So I've uploaded my very alpha CKEditor plugin. Not as much work as I'd feared, it only required two modifications to Vanilla 2 proper:

  • The nl2br regex in the Html() formatter should have a config option
  • There should be a RemoveJsFile method to complement the AddJsFile method.



Now, the RemoveJsFile method could return a bool of whether or not the file existed, but as it could be found multiple times I suppose maybe the number of times found would be a good return value. (E.g. the count of $keys)

Anyway, the changes can be seen in this commit here: http://github.com/LouisStAmour/Garden/commit/c1ba39dbb3ee53671f4bb229de6799fc901dd092

As coded, this plugin might or might not be compatible with Vanilla Replies or VanillaCommentScore as I encountered an error at one point and disabled both of them, though it might be the JS' fault.

Also, @Mark, is it possible to override JS or CSS from within a plugin, avoiding the need to remove 'discussion.js' just to add it again with a slightly different name? Or should we work on making the JS more extensible? The main incompatibility lies within jQuery's serialize() of the form, which doesn't seem to call the textarea's overridden val() to get the CKEditor's changes and so instead saves the original unmodified textarea that was hidden. One alternative could be a trigger for such changes before serializing the form.

Oh and another change I've forgotten to make is to ensure all IDs are unique for textareas. (Right now they totally aren't, so my start.js overcomes that as necessary.) And to swap to using Google for hosting jQuery, though that could be part of future performance optimizations like 1.2 has received, I guess.

]]> Plugin Ideas for Vanilla 2 http://www.vanillaforums.org/discussion/10751/plugin-ideas-for-vanilla-2 Tue, 02 Mar 2010 02:03:12 -0600 Raize 10751@/discussions Vanilla 2 is looking sweeeet. It has such a modern feel, and some very high tech features (while I was typing this a little tab just notified me that a draft of my post has been saved). Wow, all I can say is FINALLY the forum software I've been searching for...so excited for the final product.

My plugin idea for anyone who is thinking ahead, is one that Autoposts to Twitter anytime a new thread is created. It's simple and it's perfect both as a service to current members, and as a way to attract new ones. This would go hand in hand with future social networking opportunities that Vanilla 2 is already poised to take advantage of.

Hope others have some good ideas as well! Cheers

]]> Custom Field http://www.vanillaforums.org/discussion/10803/custom-field Tue, 09 Mar 2010 18:36:42 -0600 wilcosky 10803@/discussions How could I add a custom field to the topic starter form. In other words, right now you can type in a title, choose the category and type your message. But, I want to add one additional text field. Would anyone be willing to tell me how this would be done?

Is there really a need to make 14 http requests for each page before it's even rendered? There's so many calls for separate JQuery files its unbelievable.
