Re: Converting from Vanilla 1 - Porter gives error message
Update:
After spending hours trying multiple php versions on multiple linux distros and versions of the porter script, I finally had some success here. I could not get it to run under 5.3, which is the advertised requirement. Neither could I get it to run under any 7.x version of PHP that I tried, but 5.6.40 seems to have been the solution here. At least it completed without errors and showed me the success screen. I've run out of time for today, so I won't be able to try to import it, but that's beyond the scope of the porter anyway, I trust the export is fine since there where no error messages and file size looks somewhat reasonable.

Re: YAGA reactions - What da ya(ga) need?
@testing3: I guess I‘ll only provide a one color set as people will use them in all kinds of themes. But each SVG file can easily be edited in color by opening the file in a text editor and alter the HEX value. I will also research with @Bleistivt if plugin setting declaration of CSS masks might be possible to color the icons.

Re: Has Vanilla development gone private?
I can shed a bit of light here. @Linc is on the right track here. We've essentially done the following.
- Consolidated all repositories into a mono-repo.
- This repository currently is being synced on an ad-hoc basis. I've been working on a CI integration to sync it daily, but have had some difficulties. The intention is for things to be synced daily though.
- This is an inversion of how we worked with our security patches repo before.
- Vanilla OSS releases will continue to happen.
- Vanilla 4.0 is still coming this year with a few major new features for OSS.
- New theming system and new default theme.
- Numerous improvements to our APIv2 endpoints.
- SearchAPI and a new version of our advanced search are now open source (MySQL search is open source), Sphinx search will still be kept in cloud, but it is a pluggable system that anyone from the OSS community can write their own driver for (Sphinx, Elastic, Solr, whatever you want).
- User cards.
- Approximately a bajillion bug fixes.
I've had what's likely a bit of burnout since the start of the year which is why I've been a lot less active here. @initvector will be the one to push forward that release. The main blockers right now are still defined here.
Re: Has Vanilla development gone private?
Since I’m unclear if that was implicitly including me, I’ll add I parted ways with Vanilla in February, and had been on leave since October, so I am far out of date on any plans. I haven’t seen anyone on staff comment here since I left, so I will provide what little I know anyway.
We never discussed going private during my time there, but I cannot think of any other rationale for a new private repo named “vanilla-cloud” and the public actions noted. My guess is they went monorepo (since there was a public poll about that, too, and being familiar with the pressures the React ecosystem added to the mix) and are doing a sync to the original repos. We were previously doing the inverse of that workflow for our private security patch repo (minority of patches on private; periodic sync via remotes). That’s all I know.

Re: Has Vanilla development gone private?
Seems reasonable to infer that, given this PR description.

What does your stats look like because I tried to enable Stats Box on 3.3 and this is what mine looks like!!

Re: SEO not working for newer forums?
Google has several sneaky ways of stopping people making a fast buck on the internet. If (like yours) you are on a financial related genre google will make you wait and wait before indexing your url's.

Re: Create entirely new Controller
Confirmed!
Does not work from a themehook, for a strange reason. But works in a plugin nicely.
For another person, my code is
class MyPlugin extends Gdn_Plugin {
public function rootController_NewBoss_create($sender, $args) {
return $this->Dispatch($sender, $args);
}
public function controller_index($sender, $args) {
// die('debug');
//$sender->Head = new HeadModule($sender);
$sender->SetData('Success', true);
$sender->SetData('Args', $args);
$sender->RenderData();
}

My plan is to set this as route destination for specified Discussions and do some imaginative rerouting for some super efficient clean urls
