This forum, add-ons?

Chad_Abizeid · May 2013

Just curious what add-ons this forum has installed?

I see a lot of great features (keep in mind I'm 100% new to Vanilla forums):
-badges

facebook style notification
-reputation in profile area
-preview post

The closest I found are these:
http://vanillaforums.org/addon/peregrinebadges-plugin

Would appreciate if anyone can share these. Thanks.

Is it a new month already? This is a monthly topic which usually ends in: 'use the search' and 'search for badges and reactions'. You will then find oyt that most features you see here are on the hosted version. Closest to those plugins for free is peregrine's badges and businessdad's excellent plugins

This is a FAQ, it comes up every couple of days (last one on 18/05/2013).

Super summary

Vanilla exists in two versions: hosted and open source (aka self-hosted).

The hosted version requires a subscription and it includes more features. It's also covered by support provided directly by Vanilla Ltd.

The open source version is free to download and use, but it's entirely "DIY" (do it yourself). Support is provided by this Community (formed almost entirely by volunteers) and many plugins are not available for it. Reputation plugins are amongst the most sought after, but, so far, only Badges have been covered (by the plugin you already found and by the commercial one that I made).

For more information, simply search the forum.
