Re: "Easy Wordpress Integration" LOL!

You're clearly a blog writer. Nice text.
Now if you have problems, did you start a new topic reporting your problem?
If you search on the forum and find people having problems with Vanilla, most of their problems is not bug-related.
I can't help you with SSO and ProxyConnect yet, but if you open a topic and explain the problem, maybe someone comes along and can help you.
I know about the old documentation. Maybe you can help updating the documentation once you've found the solution to your problem.

Re: Is there a way to allow users to edit their own posts?

Yes, you can set this in dashboard/settings/posting. A little further down on the page is Discussion & Comment Editing, change this to Authors may always edit.

Not currently. However, since this has been requested a few times, it is on the roadmap:

@MrCaspan I strongly advice to clean up your database. If there is one quirk, it's hard to tell what else is wrong and really causing issues.

I've exported a clean database structure where you can import your data into.

db-structure.zip

Depending on what plugins you are using, that might not directly work because some columns are only created when a plugin is activated. If that's the case do the following. Somewhere at the top of your /conf/config.php is a section "// Database" where your current database credentials are. Change them to point to the freshly imported blank database structure. After that go to the plugins section in your dashboard and disable and re-enable all of your plugins.

After that, you should be able to import the content of your old database into the clean structure and since you already changed the database which is in use in the last step, you should be able to see all the content of the forum again.

Your forum will be all messed up during this steps, so you should set it in maintenance mode: add $Configuration['Garden']['UpdateMode'] = true; to your /conf/config.php before you start and until you are finished. Then set the value to false

Re: Vanilla 2021.012 is now available

I just updated my 3.3 install and everything is smooth so far!

EDIT: I still don't see the option for 'Announced' in the dictionary so us normal users can change it to Pinned :)

Re: Notification bell

Okay, I see! That's a screenshot of the Foundation theme. I checked Keystone theme now and that notification popup only contains one sentence.

Sadfully implementing that new style is not as trivial as copying one file to a custom theme. Foundation makes use of React components heavily. That part is taken from here: library/src/scripts/headers/mebox/pieces/NotificationsContentsImpl.tsx

But nevertheless you should be able to create a custom me.php view which includes this changes.

Re: Notification bell

That's how it looks like in my installation:

I don't think adding another link is necessary, but that text is misleading in some cases. The original text "Notifications will appear here." might be better translated with "There have been no notifications since two weeks"

There are mainly two reasons why core files shouldn't be changed:

Changes are lost on every update and you need to redo your changes again
Changed functionality might lead to breaking the forum altogether

Changing translations never hurt in any way, so translate it in any way that you think it makes it clearer to your users

Re: Notification bell

Core hacking, sorry. Or a complicated and or messy plugin.

The "2 weeks" can be found in the ProfileController:

public function notificationsPopin($transientKey = '') {
  $this->permission('Garden.SignIn.Allow');

  if (Gdn::session()->validateTransientKey($transientKey) !== true) {
      throw new Gdn_UserException(t('Invalid CSRF token.', 'Invalid CSRF token. Please try again.'), 403);
  }

  $where = [
      'NotifyUserID' => Gdn::session()->UserID,
      'DateUpdated >=' => Gdn_Format::toDateTime(strtotime('-2 weeks'))
  ];

  $this->ActivityModel = new ActivityModel();
  $activities = $this->ActivityModel->getWhere($where, '', '', 5, 0)->resultArray();
  $this->setData('Activities', $activities);
  $this->ActivityModel->markRead(Gdn::session()->UserID);

  $this->setData('Title', t('Notifications'));
  $this->render('Popin', 'Activity', 'Dashboard');

}

As you can see, there is no event fired that can be used. But /profile/notificationspopin is called from the view. That should be "/applications/dashboard/views/modules/me.php", but I also see some React components which might be used in some themes. I'm a little bit lost when it comes to React.

The plugin-way would be to create a plugin that needs to copy the notificationsPopin code with just another time period (or none at all) and to take care that the link to your plugin is shown instead of /profile/notificationspopin. That can be achieved by using a some javascript which changes the link after the page has been loaded or by using a custom view, which would be a copy of the me.php with just the link to the notificationspopin tweaked to point to your plugin.

If a plugin does nothing more than duplicating views and methods with only micro-tweaks, I would think it might be prefferable to change the source code - and I really don't say so often.

The ultimativly best solution would be if that line above would read: 'DateUpdated >=' => Gdn_Format::toDateTime(strtotime('-'.Gdn::config('Garden.Profile.MaxNotificationPeriod', '2 weeks')))

You wouldn't be able to disable that, but setting it to "100 years" in your config would serve the same purpose. You might try your luck and create a Pull Request on GitHub for that.
