Unable to see my users or assign to them a role

Benito

Hi all,

It is strange, I cannot see my users in the Flarum forum nor assign a role to any of them.
Is there an hidden feature somewhere please?

Thanks

Ralkage

Benito what version of Flarum are you currently running? Can you check and confirm that you have Admin access and can access the permissions page in the Admin area?

For the first part, posting the output of php flarum info here is a start 🙂

Benito

Ralkage Yes! Sorry about that, I just donwloaded it:

I noticed something, when I log as an admin and try to empty the cache I get this:
Oops! Something went wrong. Please reload the page and try again.

In the admin panel itself I cannot figure out where is the "users" table. WOuld you have a screenshot please?

Thanks

llaumgui

Benito You need to have 1.0.0-dev for that. You haven't the last version: https://discuss.flarum.org/d/27235-extension-developers-flarum-10-qa-phase-update-period/20

Benito

llaumgui oh I see, I followed the doc:
composer create-project flarum/flarum . --stability=beta

Thanks, I will have to work out how to update it.

Ralkage

Benito ah, you meant the Users list in the Admin area. I do not advise to follow what llaumgui said if this is a production instance as the discussion he mentioned is mainly for extension developers to get a head start in updating their extensions for the next release. If you want to test new features in hindsight, check out https://nightly.flarum.site

llaumgui please do not ask regular users to do that, that is meant for extension developers only, not for production.

Benito

Ralkage oh ok thanks

Benito

Ralkage I am trying to understand, do you mean that in this forum installation we cannot see our users? No, it cannot be, is it?

llaumgui

SychO OK.

Benito

No update guides unfortunately

Coming soon!

Benito you can use fof/user-directory for the time being:

Ralkage

Benito the Admin Users list feature will be available in the next version of Flarum to be released. You are on Beta 16 in which the Admin Users list feature is not available for that version. If you are looking for a users list option for the forum end on your current version, see the post above this one by Luceos.

Benito

Ralkage I understand now...got it. My question is....as I need to launch a website within 1 week with a forum, is it safe to use yours or shall I look for something else instead as I need a production forum that works well.
I am worried to use this Beta and then find out that all the files have to be rewritten for the production version and cause problems to the users as this forum will be added to a live site.

When will the production version be launched please? To know if I wait or install Vanilla instead.

Thanks,

askvortsov

Benito Flarum is effectively stable. The update from beta 16 to 1.0 will not require rewriting any stuff from the admin side, but will require extensions to update which will take a bit. As mentioned, if you need a user list in beta 16, you should use the fof user directory extension.

Benito

Ok so it means that this forum is not ready from what I understand. No prob, I will have to go Vanilla for now guys. Thanks again.

Benito

Anyway, brilliant piece of kit, really beautiful and I cannot wait to use its full version one day.

Benito

askvortsov I see, thanks for explaining. OK so I can still use it in production, nice. I was worried because when I installed it there wa s amessage "Do not use for production" on the front of the forum.

askvortsov

Benito Do not use for production" on the front of the forum

That message has been around for years, and flarum has evolved into a near stable state. There shouldn't be any data loss issues when updating to v1 when that's released.

Benito

askvortsov Nice thanks!
