GDPR is almost here, but rest easy. Read Vanilla's FAQ about GDPR compliance for more information.

Vanilla 2.6 is here! It includes security fixes and requires PHP 7.0. We have therefore ALSO released Vanilla 2.5.2 with security patches if you are still on PHP 5.6 to give you additional time to upgrade.

Re: failed to restore vanilla

I helped jeongwee set up a forum a while back (one that he's restoring recently) and further optimized it by enabling memcached at the time, but I forgot to mention what that line in the config does. For future reference, there's documentation that explains more about using memcached with Vanilla.

Besides removing the line mentioned earlier, I believe you can also remove $Configuration['Cache']['Enabled'] = true; and then the defaults will be used for cache.

Re: Adding Custom Text to a Theme does'nt work

@R_J said:
It's working as expected for me.

If it doesn't show up at all, you have other problems than the custom text, since the default value would appear anyway. Please check the HTML source if the text is maybe hidden or at another place than you have expected.

If you see the default value, but expect to see something else, have you assigned any value to this custom text already?

By the way: I don't like that "this and that isn't working at all" attitude of your questions.

it does work , i made something wrong on the punctuation .
sry, if you felt that ,i didnt meant to. i don't use vanilla for many years, and weak on doing the research myself with my bad english. as you see i have trouble installing the vanilla on cloud which really kill my patience ( actualy until now i havnt fisnish the instalation on the cloud ). anyway ,my apology if i made someone felt that way, i will keep in mind to speak well and with patience.
thx for the help.

Re: Hard to find a link to the forums from the main page

If you scroll ALL the way to the bottom of that page, (black background), under the heading "Vanilla", you'll see an "Open Source" link. Click on that and it will take you to the main forums here.

Or, you can just put the word "open" (with a dot), in front of vanillaforums.com.

Like this: open.vanillaforums.com takes you here also.

Re: MySQL error during install of Vanilla 2.6

Good finding! I've created an issue on GitHub based on that.

Re: Still getting this PHP error [RESOLVED]

Using installer scripts is bad for two reasons: you will never know if any problem is caused by Vanilla or their installer script and you might face errors that we cannot support.

Installing Vanilla is not difficult. There is no need/justification for using installer scripts

Re: how to make the sub forum from #vanilla_categories_index page to include a ICON ?

Your browsers „Inspector“ can show you the CSS classes that should be named after your category names. That way you can adress the sub categories too.

If you want individual icons for each of them you‘d need the :nth-class() selector.

Can you follow me?
