It is not open source though.

It also doesn’t support Textile.

but we need a textile plugin for Vanilla2, first.

Has anyone looked at Textile 2.0 Addon for Vanilla 2? It appears to predate this conversation.

I’ll have to re-check Vanilla 2, but to answer to the original inquiry I didn’t think such a software existed.

michaelkpate · 2011-05-05 12:49:40

I meant to report back that I did an install but couldn’t seem to get the plugin working. See http://cmsstyles.com/forum/discussion/1/textile-test

I haven’t had a chance to figure out why.

Someone of you know a BBoard that use plugin and/or Theme like Textpattern?

candyman · 2012-02-28 13:55:05

@Michael I think that the 2.0 stands for the version of the plugin not for Vanilla2: I think is a plugin for Vanilla1.

One of the authors of Vanilla2 said that they will add Textile support in the future.

This is the most interesting forum software I’ve seen so far.

Thank you very much, looks really nice !

Glad you like :)
A thing that could be useful for a software development forum is this.

Anyway the community has decided to stay with FluxBB: maybe a plugin can do this.

FluxBB doesn’t have any plugins, only mods that amend the source code, which we won’t be using.

Besides, that feature should be (and is) included in the version control systems we use for development (Git and Subversion) – which is the proper place to post development issues/statuses, not a forum.

FluxBB is mod driven; it doesn’t have plugin system. As we are going avoid hacking FluxBB source, there isn’t going to be anything of that kind.

esoTalk

Mandatory requirement for a production software is a stable release.

Edit. Phil be faster.

Their front-ends and the services we use; issue tracker and GitHub.

For instance if you want a specific feature from our support forum, you try and post a request to our forum’s issue tracker.

That said, the URL shortening is not that useful. Services such as Twitter automatically resolve and shorten any URLs, others detect redirects and warn you about potential URL masking. Those left don’t have any post length limitations. And, I don’t want to sound like killjoy, but we don’t want 3rd-parties be tracking our users if possible.

Anyway, if someone wants super short URLs for this forum in particular, the easiest way is by registering a short domain and mapping URLs from there to here:

<IfModule mod_alias.c>
    RedirectMatch ^p/[0-9]+$ http://forum.textpattern.com/viewtopic.php?pid=$1#$1
    RedirectMatch ^[0-9]+$ http://forum.textpattern.com/viewtopic.php?id=$1
</IfModule>

PunBB does and it also has a subforums plugin. Is there a particular reason we don’t want to go back to PunBB?

FluxBB is what we inherited from previous devs, and it works well enough for what we need. I think you’ll be pleased with the overall upgrade once it’s live and in use. Gocom has done some really nice work on the featureset – and FluxBB v1.5 itself is an improvement on v1.2 in many areas.

I certainly have no desire to migrate to another forum platform (PunBB and FluxBB are quite different codebases now despite their shared origins). Also PunBB development is almost non-existent (30 commits in 14 months), whereas FluxBB development seems pretty active to me.

Subforums are of debatable value after doing an audit of the current forum, they have the tendency to bury important content that would be more visible as a standalone forum on the index page.

FluxBB and esoTalk have merged: the result (really impressive) is Flarum.
The Beta is behind the corner.

BTW, can you help me in this discussion? The guy who is developing an interesting formatting library (Markdown, of course) says that the Textile support isn’t sure ‘cause it’s hard to add the block-level markup.

I need to have my old forum (with many threads) and my blog (with less history) with the same formatting: obviously if I can’t migrate my forum posts in Textile I should have to renounce to Textile in favour of Markdown.
