Re: [Tutorial] Migrating Vanilla 2023 to Flarum

Flarum seems to be a popular choice for people migrating from Vanilla, with an active community and updated plugins. The migration process can be challenging, but it's great that you're sharing your experience and any tools or scripts you've developed to help others in a similar situation.

A little re-arrangement

I've re-arranged the community a little bit. If you guys have any feedback I'm open to tweak things further. Here's what I've done.

Switched category layout to "Modern".
Made category layout the homepage view.
Added heading categories.

Let me know what you think

Re: NEW critical security update: Vanilla 2.6.3

@PCTipsGR said:
For any Softaculous user interested, Softaculous has now upgraded to Vanilla 2.6.3, one day after the patch.

So is it safe to use Softaculous for the update today?

Of course, there is no problem with that.

The problem here was that they updated the release only a day afterwards, they had 2.6.2 and as it seems they don't bother checking why it was not good for forums, and only after reporting new version they updated it.

Also, @R_J said they alter Vanilla somehow so if you install it with Softaculous once, it will be very hard to maintain it yourslef afterwards and will have to wait for Softaculous to make the new version available.

By the way, making new version available one day after the post is not so bad I think. I should check out on their antagonist, Fantastico F3, and see how they are doing. Currently they have 2.6.3 as latest version, so Fantastico users can also update safely

Re: New Install and I am getting weird issues

Are you sure you are on an Apache server (not nginx) and that rewrite rules are enabled?

Exporting Post and User Data?

I'm running Vanilla 2.6 on PHP7 and an older version of MariaDB and want to upgrade to 2021.xxx and eventually 2023.xxx, but every time I've tried to upgrade Vanilla it breaks and so I have to revert back to the older version.

Is there a way of exporting discussions, users, roles etc. as XML or something that can imported into a brand new 2021.xxx install either on a new server or after I've updated PHP/MariaDB?

Re: Thanks nice and pure themes

That is very easy to archieve, since the font size changes are all in one place.
To get back the standard font size you can just comment out line 7 to 44 in the custom.css

No access after update

Hi, I just updated from Ver 1.4 to 1.5 and now cannot get access to the forum at all. I get a Whoops! error page. The URL I land on states this: https://(my websitename here)/Guardian-Angel/index.php?p=/entry/jsconnect/error (I have removed my actual website name.) I have it set up to access through a membership site using SSO with the jsconnect-plugin. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Re: Vanilla 2023.005 Open Source Release

That's what I get, running PHP 8.2. Is there something wrong with my config?

I checked the code and $fileClassis indeed an array that looks like this:

Array
(
	[0] => Array
        (
         	[namespace] =>
        	[className] => PermissionModel
        	[path] => /models/class.permissionmodel.php
	)
	
)

I tried looping through and to include each of those paths, then I get another error, followed by another.

Guessing my config is messed up because seems so unlikely it can be this broken. 😢
