Staff Diary: v2.0 Cycle

SychO

Hello 👋,

Here's an update on some of the changes/additions that were pushed into the 2.0 development branch since last time. This time around it is mostly user-facing features 🌟.

Thanks to @Darkle for coming up with the designs for these features!

🔎 Post search

We have added the ability to search through individual posts (flarum/framework4019).

post search page

🔎 Admin search

We have added the ability to search through the admin settings and permissions (flarum/framework4022)

admin search modal

📩 Direct messages

This has been requested multiple times, so we have built a new simple messaging extension that will be included in 2.0 (flarum/framework4028)

messages page

🧩 Extension Discovery UI

This has also been requested many times before. We have added a section in the extension manager that allows you to browse extensions from the official extension directory and directly install from there (flarum/framework4066)

Noooooo... FoF Byōbu did the thing just in right way. What to do for now??? What kind of actions required after upgrade? Messages converting, permission, etc... There is a problem now.

This has been requested multiple times, yep, but seems you are late 🙂 And FoF Byōbu is not the only solution. Seems more new problems will acquire. Are there any benefits other than embedding?

PS. I am just checked a github and it is just too basic comparing to FoF Byōbu. I can publish the conversation in one click, extend it with the new contacts, exclude some contacts.. absolute flexible. New users cant PM cause of permisson set and my Flarum installation didnt know about spam throw PM. PM can be initialised only by some of groups memebrs.

With great respect for the great work, but the best way is just to integrate the best solution (also doned by FoF). Isn't it?

Wellwisher

SychO seriously and utterly beautiful design so glad I departed from SMF

Gorm it will be an extension, so it will be completely up to the forum admin to decide if they want this feature or not.

FriendsOfFlarum Byobu is not going away, it will be updated for Flarum 2.x and you can/should continue to use it if the features better fit your community.

I don't know what the plans for migrating are, but certainly someone will write a tool to migrate between the 2 extensions at some point, even if the migrator doesn't end up being part of the core extension. Based on the ephemeral nature of private messages, some forums might not even need the migration tool if they prefer to start fresh with the new extension.

SychO

Gorm Like clark mentioned, it's a separate extension and no one is forced to use it, it won't be enabled by default either. So you can still use whatever other extensions you wish to use 👍️

Gorm

clarkwinkelmann sure, will see, but some of the best practice/experience must be kept in mind in this days for the future changes.

IanM Thanks!

I have not managed to isolate the problem at all, so I finally reverted to version 1.8.5 and everything works without problems.

I did manage to find when the error occurs, and it is when the night mode extension is active with version 1.8.6 or 1.8.7 of Flarum in an installation with PHP 8.3. In fact, if I disable it with these conditions, the whole forum deletes the content and is not displayed.

I’m wondering if you will keep providing some fixes for more serious issues to the 1.8.X version after you release 2.0?

We identified an issue with our queue on Discuss. Emails, notifications and websocket events have been stuck since the 20th. The issue has just been resolved, but as a consequence it's possible that emails and websocket events (you have X new unread discussions) are being sent to you for old/read discussions.

Apologies for the inconvenience.

IanM

Some of you reported issues with the search results when using our latest Flarum core release (1.8.7). I’m happy to report that this is resolved now in 1.8.8, which is now available.

Since I upgraded to version 1.8.8, I’ve been experiencing issues with the API. Initially, I thought it was due to the new database queue plugin I installed.

When I couldn’t resolve the issues and kept encountering new ones after each fix, I reverted back to the server backup I took when I was on version 1.8.7. This should have resolved all the problems, and it did.

I tested everything on version 1.8.7 (including clearing the cache from the admin interface), and when I realized that the issues were gone, I updated both the plugins and Flarum to 1.8.8 again using the Extension Manager. I didn’t install any extra plugins.

Currently, the cache clearing function, which works via the API from the admin interface, is not functioning. I’m out of ideas for solutions because I don’t see any API-related errors in the log files.

For now, I’ll wait to see if I receive any feedback from other users regarding this issue.

Do I have to update the extensions one by one ? Or is there a command to update everything ?

Anonymous41

Wlork php flarum migrate or composer update updates all

Wlork

Anonymous41 Thank you, but it doesn't work. What is the exact command(s)?
