Re: Keystone Personalization

Don't forget to duplicate and own whatever theme you are working on, or else, when you upgrade Vanilla, the changes you made will hit the ether.

Re: Can I Copy Discussions to Additional Categories

You can move a disscussion once and again and leave a redirect links in all categories you need.

I don't know why you are starting drama. I asked specifically for 3.x and he did not state whether he is using it for the question i posed.

I'm not using 3.x because dealing with spam is already an issue. I don't know why you are trolling me but please be respectful.

Re: Replace Homepage with my own content

Also, if you just want to add simple static content without rerouting ... in your template, default..master.tpl there is a nice smarty variable you can use to decide what to show in your homepage. It is $isHomepage

You can load an entire new page template design if you want

{if $isHomepage}
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<title>my homepage</title>
<body>
{pocket name="homePagePocket"}
Hey Look I got rid of the discussion or categories listing ... hahahaha hehehehe
</body>
</html>
{else}
  {include file="partials/mainSitedesign.tpl"}
{/if}

Or if you like your existing main rest-of-the-site design so much but want to nuke the forumisque discussion/categories list side of things

{if $isHomepage}
{pocket name="homePagePocket"}
{module name="homePagePocket"}

{else}
{asset name="Content"}
{/if}

//and elsewhere on the page

{if $isHomepage}
<div> I am homepage side bar</div>
{else}
{asset name="Panel"}
{/if}

Use include and pockets and modules to make things a little less hazardous, and tidy.

Re: Create Discussion programmatically

I'd definitely recommend using the API.

You can manually generate an access token for a user on the /profile/tokens page.
You can find an APIv2 reference for your site at the URL /setting/swagger
If you are making the request to the API through the same domain (eg. some JS in a plugin), you should not need to the access token for most requests, as the user's cookie will be used.
If you need to generate access tokens per-user, that story is a bit complicated, but we're working on it. We have authentication endpoints behind a feature flag due to limited SSO support (config setting Feature.AuthenticationAPI.Enabled ) and a /api/v2/tokens/oauth endpoint in progress that would allow certain SSO setups to generate access tokens.

Re: Cannot get Rich Editor to work in embedded comments

If I understand it right the problem is as such:

The format for new posts is "Rich"
In embedded comments, the editor is not used
The "Rich" format doesn't accept simple text input

The real problem is when you write a comment without the rich editor and the format is set to "Rich".

So this should be avoided. I admit I was wrong with my assumption and the lines that you found could be used for changing the problem.

I thought on how to make the rich editor work and that wouldn't be the right place for that.

I do not know what is needed to make the rich editor work on embedded comments, but I have an idea for an approach. For offering a solution I would have to set up embedded comments somehow and I never did that.

You can find the following event fired just before the lines you have cited:

               $this->EventArguments['Discussion'] =& $EmbeddedDiscussionData;
               $this->fireEvent('BeforeEmbedDiscussion');

By hooking into that event you should be able to

Check if format is "Rich" (if not return, all good)
Try to format the Body as rich text
If that fails: change Format to e.g. Markdown
If it succeeds return happily

Re: Multiple modules in a plugin

Yes!

See https://docs.vanillaforums.com/developer/framework/modules/

As many as you want. Store them as such:

 plugins/yourNewPlugin/modules/class.example1module.php
 plugins/yourNewPlugin/modules/class.example2module.php
 plugins/yourNewPlugin/modules/class.example3module.php

Then connect them in your plugin file:

$module1 = new Example1Module($sender);
$sender->addModule($module1);

Re: Pro Version

There are many elements in that theme that I like. But the demo is running an outdated Vanilla version. And looking at the html I see a ton of custom CSS classes, which makes me think it is using a lot of view overrides (bad when updating)

How does the theme look like on Vanilla 3.1?

How do you make sure security fixes done with a version update are reflected in your theme when you are using view overrides?

Re: Pro Version

Then this is the last chance to contact him...

You did the right thing and started a question from within the addons section. By doing so, @ThemeSteam gets a mail notification. If he doesn't react on that mail, he most probably will not give any commercial support any more.

Re: Rich Editor 100%CPU and >1GB memory usage

I wrote a longer post and when the text becomes longer and also code formatting is involved, performance goes down. I will create an issue with a link to the comment
