Re: Badges in OSS
technically the open source version is still under developpement BUT vanilla needs to be built before it is ready to use.
our pproblem : all releases done on github aren't built anymore and trying to built them results in a unstable package.
I may classify it as abandoned more than deprecated.

Re: Ready to move to Flarum? I might be able to help
I have a site made with flarum, it is unused but still online, to install it on the shared service what I did was to install it on my local server, then upload it to the shared service and change the configuration parameters, I never had any problems. The current installed version is 0.1.0-beta.15 and the times that I updated it I did it again in my local server and then I synchronized it with the shared service.

Re: Ready to move to Flarum? I might be able to help
Same, I've been using Vanilla since 2006 and have contributed a few addons and bugfixes over the years but I dunno there's so little certainty about what kind of support the OSS community is going to get going forward and I'd rather migrate my forums on my terms rather than after the fires start.

Hey, I am just looking into this now for my forum ozvolvo.org, I will give nitro-porter a go!

Re: Ready to move to Flarum? I might be able to help
I've looked at the config for that parser and cannot figure out what's going on here. Some HTML is parsing for you and some isn't. It looks like an h1
(with a class), div
(with a class), and br
all won't parse. But the div
and br
are definitely allowlisted in the formatter. I dunno why h1
isn't but I could fix that easy enough. I suspect this is going to take me a bit longer to sort out.

Re: Where do we go now ?
I also thought about this, surely with some of the big enterprise companies that are on Vanilla Cloud they wouldn't be left on 7.4 when it goes EOL?
I've seen a few things on GitHub which suggests/confirms that PHP 8 is being worked on.
I'll keep my fingers crossed!
