Re: Adding a custom path to Twig
I changed line `66` of the file library/Vanilla/Web/TwigRenderTrait.php to the correct diretory.
A did so to solve (to patch) a bug I had, as exposed here https://open.vanillaforums.com/discussion/37561/upgrading-from-3-1-to-3-2-fatal-error-in-twig-loader-filesystemloader-findtemplate
VANI
61 public function renderTwig(string $path, array $data): string {
62 if (!$this->twig) {
63 $this->twig = $this->prepareTwig();
64 }
65 // Ensure that we don't duplicate our root path in the path view.
66 $path = str_replace('/home/user/VANILLA-FILES', '', $path);
67 return $this->twig->render($path, $data);
If there is better way to do this please tell me :)

Re: Rotate Discussions
My opinion as a forum user on that: I would feel tricked and annoyed.
If the idea behind that is to put some discussions in the focus of users, why not create some "Featured Discussions" module or a "Recommended Discussions" below or above normal discussions?

Re: Delete discussion programmatically
Maybe you would like to use the Vanilla Forums API, in Python you would request a http DELETE using requests to `https://[yousite.com]/api/v2/discussions/[discussion_id]`
I think (obviously) you will need the authorizations for the request to be accepted, I never tinkered with the api yet, but I think you can manage to do it with this example (or translate it to whichever language you use)
#!/usr/bin/env python3 import requests ENDPOINT = "https://[yousite.com]/api/v2/discussions/[id]" x = requests.delete(ENDPOINT) print(x.text)
Also, for security reasons maybe you would like to configure your webserver to restrict requests only for you specific IP address.

Re: Users not being able to dismiss "Message" even when allowed dismissing option
Yes, only logged in users can dismiss messages as far as I can tell. I'm guessing the dismissal gets stored in the user table, so guests wouldn't have anywhere to store the message status.

As I said: not sure, but you can test it quite easily...

Re: Users not being able to dismiss "Message" even when allowed dismissing option
Not sure right now, but it might be that guests can't dismiss messages, but users can. Do you have a normal member account that you can test?

Re: How to Set Automatically logout when user is idle for sometime?
A Javascript approach can be tricked by the user. Based on the motivation why you are interested in such a timeout that might be okay.
I personally would hate such a feature and "disable" it for myself with a custom GreaseMonkey script

Re: Vanilla 3.3 is now available
Look at your database and at the table GDN_Permission. Delete the column Plugins.Tagging.Add
Make sure the permissions are sti correct for the tagging feature afterwards

Anybody successfully using latest jQuery 3.x?
The forum's version seems terribly outdated and so are some of the tightly dependent jQuery plugins.
If you have done a personal upgrade please share your story here.
For starters. I did. And now working on a fix for the popup plugin.
Cheers
