Embedding Forum

I just installed a forum via the embed method, and it looks like all the links point to the actual install directory rather than the directory in which I have my dynamic page containing the embed. (i.e. I have vanilla installed at /vanilla/ and have the forum embedded at /community/index.php.) Doesn't this cause problems if people were to copy a URL from a link in my forum? There's no redirect that happens if someone visits the page at /vanilla/.

In the advanced embed settings you can toggle "Force the forum to only be accessible through this url".

Hmm. How exactly does that work? It doesn't seem to be redirecting well. e.g. http://comparewear.com/vanilla/#/discussion/3/welcome-to-the-community-at-comparewear-com
It works perfectly for me, I guess your link is wrong. Try copying or opening a link an your site in a new tab, it should redirect.
Only the embedded version creates urls with hashes.

Does it redirect to the discussion or to the main page?
The one you posted redirects to the main page because it is a link to the main page:
http://comparewear.com/vanilla/#/discussion/3/welcome-to-the-community-at-comparewear-com
Non-embed vanilla has no concept of
#-urls. This is not a url created by vanilla. Internal links come without the hash and they are correctly redirect to the embedded version with a hash.This is what I get when I copy a link:
http://comparewear.com/vanilla/discussion/3/welcome-to-the-community-at-comparewear-com
And it redirects to:
http://comparewear.com/community/#/discussion/3/welcome-to-the-community-at-comparewear-com
Which should be what you want.

Oh, interesting. It wasn't redirecting properly for me before. It was just going to /community/. I wonder if there is some weird caching going on that I am not familiar with. I'm thinking I may want to just not use embedding, as it looks like there are some things that may cause problems down the road. If this is the embed code I am using, is there any way to do something like this, with the dynamic PHP, by directly editing the theme?
Edit: I can't figure out how to post code. The "code" option above does not really do anything.
