Free Flarum hosting on an expert platform by FreeFlarum.com

SKevo

wolfshards apologies, but what's the name of the extension? I don't know which one you have in mind. Have you found any errors in your logs or browser console? Have you tried to use a different browser?

bloodchen due to the way FreeFlarum is set up, it is impossible to install extensions just for a specific forum. They must be included globally for all forums.

If it's your custom extension (e. g. coded by you), then we can't include that either for security reasons.

SKevo I know whats wrong with the search extension in admin panel. Advanced Extensions categories broke the search bar. Soo i disabled it.

Hey SKevo!
I don't have a bug report this time. I just wanted to say thanks for all the countless hours you've almost certainly put in to get Free Flarum working for us. I appreciate all the work you've done so far; and I hope you know that I (and I'm sure many others, too!) deeply appreciate what you're doing for the little communities you're helping to create. Thanks 🍻

SKevo

TallBird thank you very much for your kind words! I'd like to say that I wasn't alone though - FreeFlarum was founded by @Sanguine and @meetdilip helps us with support too. But you perhaps addressed this to the entire team - and I thank you for that, on behalf of other team members too. It helps us to stay motivated and keep going to make FreeFlarum better for everyone

SKevo

wolfshards please, address your concerns regarding all extensions to extension authors. FreeFlarum is not affiliated with Flarum or its extensions. We are just a hosting provider, and this discussion is intended only for issues related to FreeFlarum.

You should report issues in Advanced Extension Categories here: https://github.com/SychO9/flarum-advanced-extension-categories/issues

When I go to my forum ( https://otherspect.flarum.cloud/ ), it does not appear at all the way it used to. There is also this error at the top: "Something went wrong while trying to load the full version of this site. Try hard-refreshing this page to fix the error."

And I cannot log in. If I click on one of the forum threads, it tells me I have to log in to read more, but the login link does not work. I can log into my account at https://freeflarum.com/ , but I cannot log into my forum from the forum address, or even load it properly. Could my forum have been hijacked somehow??? It seems completely broken. I sent a screenshot of this to info@freeflarum.com a few days ago but have gotten no reply.

gaines apologies, the E-mail wasn't forwarded to my inbox. I recently had to switch my address fot FreeFlarum mails because I wasn't receiving E-mails from cron. I will look into the logs to check for further errors. Could you tell me the date and time when did you send the E-mail, please? It will be easier for me to filter it in the logs

As for your forum, it is likely a client side error because there are no server-side logs for your forum. I've tried to clear your cache and mugrate your database, with no luck. Because I am on my mobile right now, I am unable to check your console for JavaScript errors, so if you are able to, please check that. I am guessing that it is because of an extension - are there any that you've recently enabled?

I am unable to check for anything on my "console" because I cannot even log into my forum, from any browser. I've tried several. I did not implement any JavaScript other that anything the addons/extensions might have added. I've only included addons/extensions that are in your normal list.

SKevo

gaines you do not need to log in, just open developer tools. Or, you can wait a few hours and I will fix it for you - sorry that I am unable to look into this more in-detail right now

gaines

SKevo

It's okay! I'm not complaining at all :-) And I appreciate all your help! I'll see what I can figure out in developer tools. I assume I access that from https://freeflarum.com/ somehow? I couldn't find it. I'm not in a hurry though.

SKevo

gaines it seems like you're not experienced with that, so I recommend to wait. I should be available in 2 or 3 hours

For now: https://balsamiq.com/support/faqs/browserconsole/

Edit: I've also tried to tweak the mail settings for the past hour, or at least what I could. It just seems to me that Gmail refused the message (mail from FreeFlarum is forwarded to our Gmail inboxes). We can't really modify that behavior, sorry for the inconveniences

gaines

SKevo Okay, thank you!

SKevo

gaines fixed, for now. The issue was in the FoF Best Answer extension (I've reported it here, if you want to keep track of it or provide additional details that might help). I've disabled the extension for you, so the forum should be working again. Note that I've also enabled the Tags extension, since I suspected that it was because it wasn't enabled prior to that extension, and that Best Answer might depend on it.

Hi, can mod refresh my forum it says hard refresh is required : https://forums.os108.org/

Thanks in Advance.

SKevo

jaypatelani fixed, related to post above

Edit: I've now included 1.0.x version of FoF Best Answer, because 1.1.x is not stable yet. Updating all forums with just composer update automatically includes the latest versions, even if they might not be ready yet

hey guys, is there any way to replace the main page on FreeFlarum to a customizable homepage, like an extension or something? (not just a forum list page)

Because I wasn't even sure if this behavior or feature is even available on self-hosted flarum versions... 😅
many thanks in advance. 👏

You can use domain.com/tags

Admin > Basics > Homepage (3rd)

Here you can select your homepage from a list of available choices. Note that forging a custom API request allows you to put any route as a homepage, but that's perhaps too advanced

AA-Admiral Because I wasn't even sure if this behavior or feature is even available on self-hosted flarum versions... 😅

I see no reason why it shouldn't be available - it's a core feature. Remember that FreeFlarum uses Flarum, which is the forum software that we all love and use. We made no core changes (apart from extenders to display footer, etc.), and it is identical to the version that this forum is using (except for different extensions)

SKevo

For those wondering why FreeFlarum was down for a bit, it was related to a recent incident at our hosting - this is fixed and all forums should be accessible normally now. This was just a very small outage, but if your forum is inaccessible due to an error (e. g. server died in middle of a database transaction), please contact us
