Free Flarum hosting on an expert platform by FreeFlarum.com

UndeadLime

Thank you for your update. I'm using freeflarum.com very well. However can I ask you something:

About donations, are you removing the footer correctly? Because some guys are saying they didn't get that service, that's why.
Do you have any plan to add a korean language pack? I made one for our business but it's a completed one so it will help.

SKevo

UndeadLime I'm happy to hear that your forum is doing well : )

We currently remove footer notice manually. The invoice just slipped by my watch, and it has been fixed now. If you have any issues, you can mail us, send a message here or at GitHub - everything will work, and we will try to fix it and help you. Usually, the footer gets removed within 12 hours.
If you request it, then yes, we do. We do not add extensions that are not requested, because more extensions have a higher chance of breaking something, so we review/add only those that are requested and that have a higher demand than others, and minimalistic ones or the ones that shouldn't break anything. Language packs are fine and usually shouldn't break anything. If you create a request at the GitHub, I'll check it.

SKevo Thank you for your kind reply. I made a request at GitHub 🙂

Can you please add https://discuss.flarum.org/d/4154-friendsofflarum-upload-the-intelligent-file-attachment-extension

SKevo

idkwhatusername that extension is incompatible with FreeFlarum, sorry.

SKevo

A small warning for our FreeFlarum users that they should be careful with what extensions they enable - some have potential to break stuff up, or even brick your forum. In the case that happens, please reach out to us so we can fix the issue (see #150 for example). I won't have that much time to debug things from now on, but I'll try to respond to requests and E-mails, so please report any bugs you find.

Hi does freeflarum have some api? I want to send replies to my freeflarm forum to custom discussion from my node.js app.

xkeyC

idkwhatusername

xkeyC Does api documentation exist?

This is the English document I can currently find:https://www.flarumchina.org/docs/api/

idkwhatusername Its sad that Freeflarum has 250 user limit :/

Then you should rent a server to build your site.

Also i have question: Is there some extension that auto-deletes user accounts on forum that are inactive with option to setup custom inactivity days for email reminder and deletion + email notify. Its sad that Freeflarum has 250 user limit :/

Not at the moment, and probably not in the near future either.

It's more like a "soft-limit". FF has forums with more users which run fine as of right now. But if you want full-control over your forum, self-hosting might be the best option for you.

I totally understand that you feel this way. As SKevo points out, FF has a soft limit; I bet this is just to safeguard against abuse of the platform. And please remember, FreeFlarum is free; that doesn't mean it doesn't cost anything. Be appreciative of what they give instead of disappointed of what they don't.

SKevo

luceos well said! I think FreeFlarum serves a great purpose at providing users a way to start their community and explore how Flarum works. It is a great, fast and free way to connect people together to build something greater! Once you are growing bigger, you can consider moving to a self-hosted forum instance to unlock more options & potential with your community. It is, of course, up to you - FreeFlarum does not lock anyone to use their service!

@SKevo Any update on the FoF/Filter patch you suggested ? Thanks.

SKevo

meetdilip I looked at it and began to make some progress in the code, but since I am not a PhP developer, it may take a bit. I think that it should be ready before Monday, not sure. I just need to make it work.

Sanguine

meetdilip It will be fixed once we upgrade to beta14.

idkwhatusername

Ok so i can have forum with 350 - 500 members for example? There is no much activity

SKevo

idkwhatusername I'd say yes, but if your forum will be having a negative impact on other forums, we will have to take an appropriate action. If there isn't much activity, it shouldn't be a big problem either.

idkwhatusername

SKevo you will inform me before removing my forum? so i can delete som user accounts to keep it.

ImNotRen

I need help with registering my forum to search engines. I can't verify it by uploading a file to the forum since I'm using FreeFlarum so I tried verifying my domain but I'm using https://freedns.afraid.org/ for my own domain name, and I don't think that there's a way to verify the domain on that provider. Is there anything else that I could do to register my forum to search engines?

Sanguine

ImNotRen I don't know a solution to that right now, sorry.

SKevo

ImNotRen Google has an alternative verification system by putting some code in the header. I think that I tried it with Flarum earlier and it didn't work, but you can try to execute the verification part found in this guide: https://www.freeflarum.com/docs/how-to/integrations/google-analytics/ (it's for Google Analytics, which requires verification too - note for others that the "FoF Analytics" extension does a better job at this).

Sanguine

On behalf of all FreeFlarum users, I'd like to sincerely thank @SKevo for his dedicated work on FreeFlarum. Since he proposed to help me out several months ago, he has passionately dealt with the infrastructure, provided helpful feedback to any FF user with an issue, and ensured that your most dire extension requests were fulfilled. It is people like @SKevo that make communities like Flarum sparkle!

SKevo

Sanguine Thanks for the kind words and for not giving up on me, and I really enjoy working with Flarum at FreeFlarum!
