Allow Registration only if invited.
composer require davis/flarum-ext-inviteonly
Add new keys in user's setting panel.
Set maximum number of keys allow per user in extension settings.
Set groups allowed to create keys in permissions panel.
Good luck ?
Will it be possible to create links to auto-fill the referral code? So that I can give the URL myflarum.com/jordans-referral to someone rather than trusting them to fill in 'jordans-referral' in the referral line?
jordanjay29 I'd assume it's possible. It's on the list of things to do along with choosing an email address to send the referral code to.
Also, it won't let them sign up unless they enter a referral code, so it's not like they will forget about it.
Davis Emailing the code would be great as well.
Good work on this. I'm keen to see it shape up.
Awesome! Taking a look at this soon. I have a few ideas.
Absolutely great to have and will drive curiosity for forums that are closed like I want to create. Emailing codes and auto-generate codes to give out would be awesome to have.
AdamMulholland can you explain what you mean by auto-generated?
Davis I just mean where I could allow someone to give invites to friends. Say 5 or however many, and the extension could generate 5 random codes that would be tracked to that user. I was thinking how the Oneplus One team does theirs.
AdamMulholland isn't that what it does already? You can allow all users to generate codes in the permissions. it's set to admins only by default. Although, users can generate 5 codes and once one is used, they can generate a new one.
I wasn't sure, but if it does then perfect. I appreciate the reply and look forward to using this in the future.
All your extensions are great! Thank you!
@Davis awesome work Davis! ?
hi Davis ,
Thks for good extension, but I have a question is can you add option (or show me how can i re touch your code):
P/s: I install extention with mini bug:
How can i fix it? I tried to reinstall but it cannot be solved.
Tks & BRs,
Hi Mr. Davis , many tks, it resolve when i update to new version.
Waiting for above feature. hope it soon.
Little bug: When had max invite code, click "Create New Code" it show an error "Error, Pls reload" which I think will show "You only have $max invite" - this message only show on debug mode.
Is there a history of invites displaying who invited who?
[unknown] yes the user who used your token is shown in your token list.
Do u still develop new version? Can i have few info about it?
I also want to suggest for new version:
Many thank about wonder extension, many thank @Davis .
Let me take this plugin on test-drive ?
@Davis I cannot find a settings for this extension. It doesn't appear where all the setting usually are in extension panel ;(
Are you going to update this plugin anytime soon? What's coming in? ?
justshipit Considering his last reply mentioned his time was limited, I think Davis is busy.
jordanjay29 Sorry, my main reason to post a comment was to mention that I don't know where settings are (they don't appear where those 3 dots symbolising menu/options/more are). I did not had time to edit when you submitted your reply ;p
justshipit the settings are in the menu with the extension's logo:
Davis Davis, it might work on mobile but when I try to hover over the settings icon in Safari on Mac, it doesn't show up.
justshipit if it works on mobile, it works on desktop. I didn't add the button, flarum does. I'm not sure what to suggest. I just know the issue isn't on my end.
it seems like it supports beta5, but I got an errror with beta5 while "composer require davis/flarum-ext-inviteonly", any suggestion?
[InvalidArgumentException]
Could not find package davis/flarum-ext-inviteonly at any version for your minimum-stability (stable). Check the package spelling or your minimum-stability
hick This usually happens if you try to execute a composer require command in a folder other than the Flarum root. A good rule of thumb is, if you can successfully run php flarum info then you can run composer whatever.
jordanjay29 thx a lot.... I am so ashamed, so careless...
Please have a look on this issue : https://discuss.flarum.org/d/3310-sign-up-option-inside-admin-panel/4
Another nice offer from @Davis. ?
I just tried it on dev. Once activated, and after refreshing my Settings page, it loads up with many "Oops!..." errors along the left side, which I can't close or view the "DEBUG" info. The fan on my desktop started revving hard too. Had to deactivate the plugin to make it all go away.
Look forward to the update.
csf Thanks for the enthusiasm, but life's become really busy for me. If Flarum development productivity doesn't increase, I'll probably never update the extension. I don't have much faith in a stable release any time soon. Beta 6 is 3 months behind schedule without significant commits whatsoever.
Apologies,
Davis
@Davis. Totally understand. Flarum's progress is a little discouraging. I keep seeing people ask about Flarum's future, and others reply with something optimistic, but I'm skeptical. If Toby is a full-time med student (I think I read that somewhere in the boards), then you can expect his time and interest increasingly going to working on human bodies, not forum software. If I was a med student, I wouldn't waste another second here.
The other troubling thing I see, or don't see, is a feature cut-off point for a first release. Frankly, I'm not sure why the current state of Flarum isn't already out the door as v1. Based on our testing, it's quite robust. It clearly needs some user-management beefing up, but that could be a v2 release. And I'm looking forward to improved categories/tags enhancements, which could be a v3 release. And it needs some admin-side layout improvements, but that could be a v4. Etc. All the other cosmetic shite can wait. I think the feature set keeps scope creeping, and the release seems to be a bit waterfall-minded (all or nothing) and that's never good.
We're at this point now where we really want to drop G+ community for our Flarum install, but we're having serious doubts about making such a huge step/plunge toward Flarum if it's going sputter along with no real future aims. It might be time somebody from the top makes a statement about the roadmap for perspective. Clearly morale in the community is low.
@csf & @Davis. Thanks for putting the word out, that probably many people had on their mind. I recently setup a new forum platform, and was facing the same issue: should I trust the development or go for something that is mature and actively developed, but not fully to my liking.
I have been following Flarum for some time, while leaning towards NodeBB and Discourse, mainly because those systems are mature and the only other two (in my opinion) that are worth looking at as candidates. The thing that made me eventually choose for Flarum was:
Simply: I just like it so much, and very important - it works GREAT on mobile.
Secondly, I know the team can do it, as they got this far and warned everyone it could take a while. Looking back at the days of phpBBv3, which took I think 3 years or so, the delay of 3 months is still very acceptable.
Thirdly, I think there are some great programmers aboard, that really can make a change. Even very young ones, that have more time and a lot of dedication!
But agreed with @csf, Toby And Franz should perhaps change the roadmap and let certain core parts be done by other Team members. It has been proven many times in the past that you can only move forward if you work as a Team!
So there, my two cents! (If anyone was waiting for that). I am using Flarum, and I like it. Yet, I really hope my guts was right by choosing Flarum against all odds (And yes, I know Beta software should not be used in production, but like many people probably agree with me: this Beta feels more stable than some systems that have been out there for years).
Anyways, thanks all for the hard work, and hopefully the core team will make some adjustments to the roadmap and divide work among other Team members, so some of those that worked on Extensions, will not have the feeling that all might be for nothing in a few weeks or months. The community is the key to success behind a product like this!
