Unable to get Vanilla 2 in a subdirectory (eg /forum)

houseofmore — Thu, 11 Mar 2010 16:23:33 -0600

Hello,

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?

Changing someone's username?

rhino777 — Fri, 12 Mar 2010 15:54:30 -0600

Can you actually change a user's username? I realize they could just create a new account but then they would lose everything attached to their old account. Can you just hack the mysql database or is it more complicated than that?

Has anybody made a jQuery UI theme for Vanilla 1 default style

Dinoboff — Wed, 10 Mar 2010 07:43:28 -0600

Vanilla 1.2 will come with jQuery 1.4.x and probably jQuery UI 1.8.x; however I still have to add the UI theme:

Need to be signed in to post in Vanilla 2?

antonio23 — Fri, 12 Mar 2010 00:13:29 -0600

Just wondering if in Vanilla 2 you still need to be signed in to comment. Or will there be any guest post facility built in? I hope so as the guest post plugins for Vanilla 1 took quite long to come and were less than ideal in my opinion....but I always used it on my forum as it was extremely important to have.

Locale & translations

Spone — Thu, 03 Sep 2009 16:40:33 -0600

Hello there!

I'm starting an early French (fr-FR) translation of Garden and Vanilla 2. I've understood that all the translations have to be in the proper application/plugin locale/ folder.

I need a list of all the strings I have to translate. Does such a list exist or do I need to create it myself by searching all the calls to Gdn::Translate() method?

Thanks in advance.

Plugin Ideas for Vanilla 2

Raize — Tue, 02 Mar 2010 02:03:12 -0600

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

wilcosky — Tue, 09 Mar 2010 18:36:42 -0600

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?

Vanilla on Nginx

kamraan — Tue, 08 Sep 2009 16:32:36 -0600

I'm trying to install Vanilla 2 on Nginx but am facing 404 Page not found error. After some searching I figured it is url rewrite error. So, tried to translate Apache's rewrite rule:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [QSA,L]

as:
if (!-e $request_filename
{
rewrite ^(.*)$ index.php?q=$1 last;
}

But obviously I'm doing something wrong.

Can you help me, please.

Internal server error trying to install Vanilla 2

pierrem — Sun, 07 Mar 2010 11:12:24 -0600

Hi All,

I'm wondering if anyone else has encountered this error trying to install Vanilla 2. When I hit Continue on the initial install screen I get a 500 internal server error and my PHP error logs show this message:

"Request exceeded the limit of 10 internal redirects due to probable configuration error."

I think this suggests that the installer is trying to execute an infinite redirect loop. Changing the permissions on my folders as the install.txt file suggests has no effect.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Email notification

MichaelAnthony — Fri, 15 Jan 2010 00:54:13 -0600

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."
