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.

How to sign back in?????

Melissa — Thu, 11 Mar 2010 22:58:47 -0600

I just set up a new community forum, but for some reason I am not able to sign back in. I have shut down my browser and tried to sign in again. I have even changed by password. It just won't recognise me.
I had this problem yesterday, so I just set up another community and when I went it the first forum was there...bizarre. My users can sign in, by I can't as the originator/administrator. Any suggestions??????

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."

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.

JQuery plugin updated to v19-1.4.2, gets CKEditor 3.1

[-Stash-] — Thu, 18 Feb 2010 11:34:53 -0600

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.

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?

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:

http://jqueryui.com/themeroller/

Do you know if someone made one already?

Large Vanilla Sites

cspielman2 — Thu, 11 Mar 2010 13:59:40 -0600

As a part of my considering adopting Vanilla, can anybody give sample URL's of Vanilla sites that are "large", meaning lots of content, lots of users, high traffic, etc.

Thanks in advance.

Enabling SSL in Vanilla 2?

derekdon — Sun, 24 Jan 2010 13:44:07 -0600

Is there a setting for this? Had a quick look but I can't see one. What to secure the join and sign up process. Cheers.

Vanilla 2 Upgrade

mcard — Thu, 11 Mar 2010 15:18:23 -0600

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.

PHP Parse error installing V2

david_andorra — Thu, 11 Mar 2010 10:11:39 -0600

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.
