I have a few questions post install

I've just got my forum up an running, but I have a few questions...

Are there easy ways to do the following with Vanilla (I'm thinking like with plug-ins)?

  1. Is there a way to add extra fields to the sign up process, like real name, and have this also display when posting?

  2. Can I separate localisation between the admin control panel and everyone else?

  3. Can the user select between 2 installed languages?

  4. Can I restrict certain categories of the site to a specified list of users?

Thanks.

    I think you would need a custom plugin. I'm not aware if there is one.

    2) Can I separate localisation between the admin control panel and everyone else?

    you could define the localisation in the dashboard with what you want.

    3) Can the user select between 2 installed languages?

    not in vanilla per se. use google translate or something

    4) Can I restrict certain categories of the site to a specified list of users?

    yes - use custom permissions for an assigned role (for all the users able to access category).

    I may not provide the completed solution you might desire, but I do try to provide honest suggestions to help you solve your issue.

    For extra fields in signup process, I think the new plugin called aboutme or profile extender in the github

    There was an error rendering this rich post.
