All the above answers are great but when I started I found existing plugins a treasure trove for learning...
How to add a table using Rich Editor?
Hi, just a quick question - is it possible to add a table, like an html style table using the Rich Editor? Or would I need to disable this and use the old Advanced Editor?
Any help would be much appreciated.

Re: Event Calendar broken in 3.3
I believe it is the change in Ver 3 that now requires to unserialize serialized content in config.php.
anywhere you see
c('EventCalendar.CategoryIDs')
change to
unserialize(c('EventCalendar.CategoryIDs'))
Re: Avatar First Letter plugin - Does it work with Vanilla 3.x?
RJ, One thing is that it didn't work correctly with this style. I had to change 6em to 20px like this
.DataList .PhotoWrap img,
.MessageList .PhotoWrap img {
width:20px !important;
}
in case if somebody wants to use it in the future

Re: Gravatar - how to make it work?
There are other service providers which show random avatars just like vanillicons (e.g. identicons). So you might be in search of some plugin like that?

Re: Running vanilla from docker in production
Just wanted to share that we now have Vanilla running in docker in production :D Here's our dockerfile: https://github.com/29th/forums
It's orchestrated by a docker-compose.yml file alongside other apps, which you can see in this repo: https://github.com/29th/personnel
There are improvements I'd like to make: using a non-root user within the container, and using ADD instead of COPY so I don't need to use curl, but overall it's working pretty well. With a few tweaks it could be generic enough to be reused (at the moment it does a few things that only we need, like install our theme), but for now it could serve as reference for anyone else interested.
Certainly open to suggestions on it! Thanks for the help in this thread.
Re: Gravatar - how to make it work?
Please check in the GDN_User table if this image is linked for the user in the column Photo. If yes, that's an explanation and you are stuck with it since the user has chosen to show that.
But it is more likely that this is the default avatar showing for somebody who has no gravatar image. You can upload a new default here: /dashboard/settings/avatars
Instead of uploading a default, you can enter a line like that into your /conf/config.php: $Configuration['Garden']['DefaultAvatar'] = 'http://www.gravatar.com/avatar'; or $Configuration['Garden']['DefaultAvatar'] = 'http://www.gravatar.com/avatar/?d=identicon'; or whatever...

Re: User Names - Can they have spaces or not?
There is a piece of code in Vanilla which validates the user name against a pattern. You can set that pattern in the config so that it allows blanks. This is the code used:
$defaultPattern = (unicodeRegexSupport()) ? '\p{N}\p{L}\p{M}\p{Pc}' : '\w';
$validateUsernameRegex = sprintf(
"[%s]%s",
c("Garden.User.ValidationRegex", $defaultPattern),
c("Garden.User.ValidationLength", "{3,20}")
);
Therefore I would advise to add the following line to your /conf/config.php:
$Configuration['Garden']['User']['ValidationRegex'] = '\p{N}\p{L}\p{M}\p{Pc} ';

Re: Poll: Potential new installation requirements for enhanced addon capabilities
Right now there is a single build script that for the most part works already.
It's really just ./bin/release in the Vanilla root.
I think the blocker at the moment for it useful, is that since we use it for our own releases, it clones a fresh copy of Vanilla (due to the numerous times that personal files slipped into releases).
If I made a "dirty" version of that script you would be able to make a dropdown in release bundle of whatever's on your local computer as long as you have php, composer, node, and yarn.
Re: External links entered without https are changed to unsafe
Yeah, we could probably be a bit smarter about it. I'm not opposed to changing the behaviour to switch to append https:// instead of unsafe.
I think we also have an allowed safe protocol group that's configurable, and just doesn't happen to be used here. I think this ended up being put in as a quick security patch, and didn't get as much thought as it probably should have.
