Staff Diary: v2.0 Cycle

SychO

andrewjs18 what other messaging app does not allow people to send a message to more than 1 person in the same message?

If you're asking why this new extension doesn't have group messaging, it's because we first wanted to create a first iteration of it for 2.0, then add additional features like group messaging later.

The design was also made with group messaging in mind for the future, you can read more here: https://discuss.flarum.org/d/35114-flarum-20-private-messaging-uiux

As for your question about other messaging apps, the goal here wasn’t to match every feature from day one but to build something sustainable that can evolve over time.

Thank you for the notification.

Arnold yes, or run php flarum migrate from the commandline.

luceos I did, but it asked still, that's why I decided to ask just in case 🙂

Hi, sorry for double posting, but I can`t get forward to update my forum.
Here my question:

Flarum
1.8.5PHP
8.1.31MySQL
10.5.26-MariaDB-0+deb11u2

Hi, tried to install 1.8.10, with this Instructions , but getting this error:

Flarum encountered a boot error. Details have been logged to the Flarum log file.

and this multiple times in the Log file:

[2025-03-17 22:22:37] flarum.ERROR: Error: Class "Doctrine\Deprecations\Deprecation" not found in /var/www/clients/xxxxxx/flarum/vendor/doctrine/dbal/lib/Doctrine/DBAL/Driver/PDOMySql/Driver.php:77

Has somebody a solution for that error? Not sure how to address this...

ThX in advance 👍️

luceos

Dr_Sommer if class not found errors are thrown, try using composer install to install these missing classes. If that doesn't help try disabling deprecation warnings (as this seems related to doctrine's fallback class) using: https://discuss.flarum.org/d/36404-stopping-deprecation-warnings

Dr_Sommer

Thank You, @luceos , I'll try that... 👍️

Dr_Sommer

@luceos: thx again, that woked perfectly... i did what was described here

SERVER SIDE was already correct, then
Flarum side
Edit your extend.php and add the following before the return [:

error_reporting(E_ALL & ~E_DEPRECATED & ~E_STRICT);

then rebooted the system and installed the new Flarum 1.8.10 Version... working.. 👍️

Hello,

Security updates are always welcome. I haven't encountered any errors, and everything seems to be working fine. However, I accidentally noticed something—I had mistakenly added display: none; to post-body in my custom CSS. After removing it, I realized that the post body in the main discussions was still missing. To restore all posts, I had to keep the custom code but without the display: none; function in the CSS. In the past, any changes I made via custom CSS would revert to normal after deletion. Has anyone else experienced this issue? By the way, I’ve cleared the cache multiple times.

.Post-body {
    font-size: 14px;
    line-height: 1.7;
    position: relative;
    overflow: auto;
    overflow-wrap: break-word;
    display: none

Xkyer maybe you have additional custom CSS that also affects this element?

It's difficult to provide guidance without being able to see the website. Using the development tools, it should be easy to check which rule(s) apply and guess from where they might come. It's a bit more complicated than vanilla CSS because the Less compiler causes CSS to destructively override previous rules, so to find out the cause we would need to check the browser development tools while the custom CSS has been fully removed, to see what's left and how it causes the post to be hidden.
