Hmm... okee... have to think about that... didn't know, that making all discussions as viewed will be so difficult.. ;(
rewrite Url not working for me... must check some more bout that..
Have to test Archiving..
Both 'Discussion' and 'Comment' tables Format is "HTML"... i did my export with porter plus and selected to convert to html..
Red about "ButtonBar" and "Markdown"... i think it wouldn't be neccessarry for me in the future... or?? Not shure..
What i did today:
Moved the Panels (ThX vrijvlinder)
Imported all my crazy green Smilies (hell of a work there)
Made a small script to import all Avatars settings in DB
Tried the same for the signatures, abandoned that
Just 4 Things but lost on that all the day... ARGHH!!! But learned pretty much..
When finished, ill put my Odyssey into the Vanilla Viki..
The LAST last questions (don't think so.. )) ):
About the converter: is it better to use the official Porter, or the PorterPlus that i found accidentally in the posts?
Don't shoot me, but i integrated all my 4.346 GreenSmilies into Vanilla... ))
Is it my imagination, or is my forum getting slower because of that?? Anybody know about the impact of misusing the ForumWare this way??
Some members are trying to kill me, some others are lovin the new Forum...
I'm sure that they will settle and see the benefits of a Vanilla Forum..
Now the Last, last, last Questions... )) :
my Members are asking for this features (used to it from the old Forum):
Page Numbers below the Topics (1,2,3,4...) how can i get them also above the first topic?
I need a preview Button for the WYSIWYG Editor... in the FIRST POST it's active, but all other posts its not there...
Is it possible to change the Date/Time Value in Full size/24H ? > example= 08.09.2013 14:56
Some users would like the DESC look for diskussions... but as i had trouble to implement that, i think there is no way for users to individually change the sorting?? Is it maybe Planed in the new Version??
WHERE DO I FIND THE NEW BETA VERSION OF 2.1?? Impossible to find it here on vanillaforums.org
is there a "New Postings" Plugin that shows me only the newest post till last login?
Sounds for Shoutbox possible?
Certanly i'll try to fix that all by myself, but maybe you could give me some hints..
These next Questions are from someone NEW to this community and i think if I have these Problems, many others will have them also...
@ Underdog Where do i find the Vanilla wiki? Is this the correct wiki?
If Yes, why isn't there a link from this Site to the Wiki? or is the Wiki = Documentation?
If that is the correct Wiki... where should i put in my Knowledge of Porting from PHPBB3 to Vanilla?
If you ask me, i would rather put it here and some of you Admins can correct this stuff, caus as i said... im a beginner and not shure if that, what i did was correct...
Searching through the Documentation here on vanillaforums.org gives results back from the Community Forum... is that the Correct behavior? Normally when i search through Documentations elsewhere i get the results from the Documentation only.
I had to use DuckDuckGo to get better results...
Thanks for all your Help, i hope that I can contribute with my Porting experience...
Just put it to the wiki (yes, that is the correct link) somehow - they do a great job in making it looking nice
You can find the current Vanilla version here https://github.com/vanillaforums/Garden/tree/2.1
Unread discussions could be accessed (starting from 2.1 I think) und /discussions/unread
Page Numbers below the Topics (1,2,3,4...) how can i get them also above the first topic?
plugin for pagination, addons section
I need a preview Button for the WYSIWYG Editor... in the FIRST POST it's active, but all other >posts its not there...
That preview button may be hidden with css . The reason is that the preview shows on the editor making it redundant since you already are looking at the preview. But if you still want it, find the css that is applied to that button and change display:none to display:block
Is it possible to change the Date/Time Value in Full size/24H ? > example= 08.09.2013 14:56
There likely is a way to change that I can't find atm. Surely a config statement ...

maybe this will work if it is not a red herring :
$Configuration['Vanilla']['Discussions']['SortDirection'] = 'asc'; // or descending
WHERE DO I FIND THE NEW BETA VERSION OF 2.1?? Impossible to find it here on vanillaforums.org
I would wait until you have this forum going and very familiar coz the beta still needs a few things and it is still a bit buggy.
is there a "New Postings" Plugin that shows me only the newest post till last login?
Yes there is please scour the addon section there is a plugin for almost everything you need and also for what you don't need but it's cool.
That is the community wiki. It is hosted (thanks @hbf!) and managed by the community. It is where we, as community members, can contribute to. The documentation (or docs) is hosted and managed by Vanilla Inc.
As far as where to put it, put it anywhere. We try to stay on top of submissions and change formatting where applicable.
AAhhh.... HELP...
I tried to put my BrainKnowledge to the Vanilla Wiki, BUT... there's no Edit Button... ;(
I also selected "Doubleklick to edit" in the settings, but apparently i need to get an Email Notification, that i didn't got till now... ;(
Here is, what the wiki says:
You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reason:
The action you have requested is limited to users in one of the groups: emailconfirmed, editor.
You can view and copy the source of this page:
Could somebody help me here? Would like to contribute..

Someone will need to approve your account ( I think @hgtonight is the man to ask for this ). I may descend upon any page you create, making sure it's formatted correctly ( I'll try and explain what I've done in the edit summary to make it easier for you to learn wikicode ).
Yes it works, ThX... have to sort my stuff a little bit, then I'll publish it and you Admin People will hopefully shredder it in nice, understandably pieces...
Uh.. did put my stuff to the Wiki...
Have LackOfTime probs, hope you guys will correct the Formating..
How can i Upload a file to the wiki, so it does not need to be displayed as Text in the wiki (AvatarPorter.php)?

How did you integrate your smilies?
I would suggest modifying the emotify plugin.

There was an error rendering this rich post.
@hbf will need to add you to the members.
He's normally quick off the mark.
Please do persevere. The more users who contribute, the better it will be.
