Welcome! Please be aware this version of Vanilla Forums' developer documentation is a work in progress and is currently incomplete. During this interim period the previous version of the documentation is available on docs.vanillaforums.com.
Welcome!
The Developers section is primarily targeted at software developers who have at least a basic understanding of PHP, HTML, CSS and Javascript.
The primary audience is:
- Vanilla Forums Employees.
- Vanilla Forums Cloud clients on an Enterprise Plan with access to code deployment.
- Developers that are self-hosting the Vanilla Forums OSS version.
Clients of VanillaForums.com (cloud) should contact support to address technical issues. Our hosted product does not allow direct file access to ensure security and performance, which precludes many instructions in this section.
Security Issues and Responsible Disclosure
Found a security issue? Please contact us at security@vanillaforums.com with full details, including reproduction steps. All other inquiries should go to support@vanillaforums.com This allows us to release a patch as quickly as possible and, hopefully, before knowledge of it becomes widespread. For all other issues, please use the GitHub issue tracker.
