Joomla! CMS Integration

phreak · November 2006

hi all, it seems that there is not so much fire or a lot of work to do behind a joomla integration of vanilla. sorry, to speak about money, but what if we put some bucks into the ring to make a cool integration alive ? i have a commercial oriented site (even though its running good we couldn't make it yet to sell much banners), i hope thats not a taboo and i would be really thankfull if i wouldn't need to run vanilla inside a wrapper which doesn't create site- views in the statistics of the site. i can take 120 (uff, did i say 120) bucks into the pot for development. which is not that much, but the "motivaton" i can afford. what do you think about ? greetz phreak

Anyone tried using this yet?

How do users work? Do you use the vanilla user table or the joomla one? Does the Vanilla forum have to be empty? If it's not, will everything get overwritten?

Ahhhhh

I am having difficulty installing JoomlaVanillav1.0.3b as a component. When attempting the install I receive the following message (see below). The install process does setup com_vanilla in the Administrator & Component directories of Joomla. The Vanilla database is setup but the Joomla Vanilla Bridge is not setup as a component in the Administrator menu. I have tried numerous attempts at installing again but cannot get the past the following message that Joomla generates when installing the component. Any suggestions? SQL Error DB function failed with error number 1060 Duplicate column name 'RoleID' SQL=ALTER TABLE boo_users ADD `RoleID` int(2) NOT NULL DEFAULT '3', ADD `StyleID` int(3) NOT NULL DEFAULT '1', ADD `CustomStyle` varchar(255) DEFAULT NULL, ADD `FirstName` varchar(50) NOT NULL DEFAULT '', ADD `LastName` varchar(50) NOT NULL DEFAULT '', ADD `VerificationKey` varchar(50) NOT NULL DEFAULT '', ADD `EmailVerificationKey` varchar(50) DEFAULT NULL, ADD `UtilizeEmail` enum('1','0') NOT NULL DEFAULT '0', ADD `ShowName` enum('1','0') NOT NULL DEFAULT '1', ADD `Icon` varchar(255) DEFAULT NULL, ADD `Picture` varchar(255) DEFAULT NULL, ADD `Attributes` text NULL, ADD `CountVisit` int(8) NOT NULL DEFAULT '0', ADD `CountDiscussions` int(8) NOT NULL DEFAULT '0', ADD `CountComments` int(8) NOT NULL DEFAULT '0', ADD `DateLastActive` datetime NOT NULL DEFAULT '2006-06-06 00:00:00', ADD `RemoteIp` varchar(100) NOT NULL DEFAULT '', ADD `LastDiscussionPost` datetime DEFAULT NULL, ADD `DiscussionSpamCheck` int(11) NOT NULL DEFAULT '0', ADD `LastCommentPost` datetime DEFAULT NULL, ADD `CommentSpamCheck` int(11) NOT NULL DEFAULT '0', ADD `UserBlocksCategories` enum('1','0') NOT NULL DEFAULT '0', ADD `DefaultFormatType` varchar(20) DEFAULT NULL, ADD `Discovery` text, ADD `Preferences` text, ADD `SendNewApplicantNotifications` enum('1','0') NOT NULL DEFAULT '0'; SQL = ALTER TABLE boo_users ADD `RoleID` int(2) NOT NULL DEFAULT '3', ADD `StyleID` int(3) NOT NULL DEFAULT '1', ADD `CustomStyle` varchar(255) DEFAULT NULL, ADD `FirstName` varchar(50) NOT NULL DEFAULT '', ADD `LastName` varchar(50) NOT NULL DEFAULT '', ADD `VerificationKey` varchar(50) NOT NULL DEFAULT '', ADD `EmailVerificationKey` varchar(50) DEFAULT NULL, ADD `UtilizeEmail` enum('1','0') NOT NULL DEFAULT '0', ADD `ShowName` enum('1','0') NOT NULL DEFAULT '1', ADD `Icon` varchar(255) DEFAULT NULL, ADD `Picture` varchar(255) DEFAULT NULL, ADD `Attributes` text NULL, ADD `CountVisit` int(8) NOT NULL DEFAULT '0', ADD `CountDiscussions` int(8) NOT NULL DEFAULT '0', ADD `CountComments` int(8) NOT NULL DEFAULT '0', ADD `DateLastActive` datetime NOT NULL DEFAULT '2006-06-06 00:00:00', ADD `RemoteIp` varchar(100) NOT NULL DEFAULT '', ADD `LastDiscussionPost` datetime DEFAULT NULL, ADD `DiscussionSpamCheck` int(11) NOT NULL DEFAULT '0', ADD `LastCommentPost` datetime DEFAULT NULL, ADD `CommentSpamCheck` int(11) NOT NULL DEFAULT '0', ADD `UserBlocksCategories` enum('1','0') NOT NULL DEFAULT '0', ADD `DefaultFormatType` varchar(20) DEFAULT NULL, ADD `Discovery` text, ADD `Preferences` text, ADD `SendNewApplicantNotifications` enum('1','0') NOT NULL DEFAULT '0';
