Vanilla - Web 2.0 or Classic?
So we got to the new review article. So, we continue to discuss the Vanilla forum.
Judging by past comments, many people are very interested in the description of Vanilla add-ons, what kind of assemblies and why such a division of one forum into 2 different directions. Will try .
As mentioned earlier , the main advantage of Vanilla is its modularity.
Depending on your needs, you can build exactly the kind of forum you need. Moreover, in this case, some modules are functional enough to call them plug-ins in the usual sense of the word.
We are building Vanilla in 2 most general directions - a classic forum and a web2.0 version . We will not describe all the additions included in the assemblies - each of them is described in the community forum, and here we give a comparative description of the assemblies.
Also, the assemblies are similar in some basic additions and differ in a number of minor ones that are difficult to attribute clearly to any of the directions, and they can be installed if desired. Naturally, the division into directions is conditional, this is done more for convenience during testing, more experienced users will still do something different from the forum.
In general, Vanilla offers a fairly convenient approach to the organization of the forum, and we try to draw your attention to this.
So welcome.
