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.

PHP Parse error installing V2 http://www.vanillaforums.org/discussion/10806/php-parse-error-installing-v2- Thu, 11 Mar 2010 10:11:39 -0600 david_andorra 10806@/discussions Hello,

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.

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.

SingleSignOn - How to? http://www.vanillaforums.org/discussion/10717/singlesignon-how-to Mon, 22 Feb 2010 07:38:10 -0600 FCN 10717@/discussions Hello,

I'm coding a website and I included Vanilla 2 in it.
Now I want to start the login system of the site.
but is it possible to login from the normal site into the Vanilla system?
I mean that I'm logged in in the site and the forum with one login with the use of the Vanilla system?!
Is that possible with SingleSignOn and if yes; how could I use that "bridge"?
I didn't understand this article really: http://vanillaforums.org/page/SingleSignOn

Problems installing plugins http://www.vanillaforums.org/discussion/10445/problems-installing-plugins Sat, 02 Jan 2010 20:17:01 -0600 LOVEolution 10445@/discussions I've just installed Vanilla 2 and I'm trying to add some plugins. I was under the impression that I just had to upload the new plugins into the plugins folder (just like how wordpress plugins work), but I've done that and none of the new plugins are showing up.

Status of Email notifications http://www.vanillaforums.org/discussion/10325/status-of-email-notifications Tue, 01 Dec 2009 16:28:27 -0600 FoxyFred 10325@/discussions Hello, developers!

First off, let me say that I am impressed with the quality of the Vanilla 2 and Garden codebase! So far, I haven't found any of the heinous crimes that PHP allows one to commit, and it seems like you have a sensible OO design and plugin architecture.

I work for FoxyCart, and we have a pretty large Vanilla 1 board that we'd like to move to Vanilla 2; there are many new features that we would really enjoy. One old feature, though, that we use a lot is the email notification feature. I see that it's planned in your roadmap, and I'm wondering how much of that is completed right now.

I like what I see so far with regard to notifications, and I'm wondering if email support is just around the corner, or if I should dive in and write a notification plugin myself. The main things we like about the current notifications are:
- Per-category new conversation notifications. (we want to know when people ask new questions)
- Conversation updates that notice when we visit the forum. (we want to know when someone updates a conversation, but email's not important if we're currently working on the board)

The most important feature of a new notification system for us is that it imports the old notification settings, so that people who are currently subscribed continue to receive updates.

Anyway, it'd be great if someone could tell me the status of all of this before I go even deeper into the Garden / Vanilla 2 code. Thanks in advance! :-)

Vanilla 2 Stability http://www.vanillaforums.org/discussion/10805/vanilla-2-stability Wed, 10 Mar 2010 10:53:11 -0600 Simba Cub 10805@/discussions Hi guys!

Sorry if this has been asked before, but I couldn't dig up a recent thread on the topic so I thought I'd ask here.

Is Vanilla 2 at the stage whereby it can be hosted live without fear of major updates that will render it dead come future updates? I know I shouldn't use it live yet, I'm just curious to see if it's possible safely.

Thanks!
