Free Flarum hosting on an expert platform by FreeFlarum.com

Bluejeanx

I have noticed that FreeFlarum Forums are on an old version of Flarum 0.1.0-beta.7. Which is FIVE versions behind the most recent version (0.1.0-beta.8.2). The newest version of Flarum 0.1.0-beta.8.2 is very useful as it comes with a bunch of new features such as Admin Dashboard, Improved Search, New Formatting Buttons, security fixes, and etc. They are all listed in this Thread. With 0.1.0-beta.9 released, it would be nice that FreeFlarum will be using the latest software instead of being behind seven versions.

tl;dr Please update FreeFlarum software to the latest Flarum software 0.1.0-beta.9

- Edit: After reading the release post for BETA 8, it stated that BETA 8.1 & 8.2 had been released also. Corrected 0.1.0-beta.8 to 0.1.0-beta.8.2 Added, "Which is FIVE versions behind the most recent version (0.1.0-beta.8.2)." & "security fixes, and etc." Updated "one version behind instead of one." to "one version behind instead of six.

- Edit v2: Support for 0.1.0-beta.9 has dropped, making it the new latest version of Flarum. Fixed all terms.

Bluejeanx I concur, I would like to set up my own flarum site using freeflarum, but don't want to use a version that is 2y old...

@Sanguine

Please, update to latest version. Or at least any further information and maybe a response from dev if it'll stay up? I know I already made a thread for this, but information please... Are you gonna wait for a release?

I'm just going to bump this a lil' bit again. Unlocking the new features provided by flarum 9 would be awesome - really hope you can update 🙂

Hi all, sorry to keep you waiting. I'm looking forward to upgrade all 4000 FreeFlarum forums to the latest & greatest beta9, but... it would take me 2-3 full days to get servers and code all dance together for the good cause. Because I have another full time job, it would greatly encourage me if you would consider making a small donation to prove that FreeFlarum is worth maintaining.

Thanks!

I'm ready to pay a reasonable price for better service and removing the ads.
I'm having a couple of issues right now.

Oops! xxx.com does not CNAME to xxxx.freeflarum.com . My domain registrar said the settings were correct on their end. But after 12 hours, I still get the Oops message.
All of my browsers block my site. The warning message : The certificate is only valid for the following names: *.freeflarum.com, freeflarum.com. Seeing this message, I believe every visitor will be discouraged to sign up.

@Felli @SamB440

I think he has already started, so it'll be done in maybe a week.

Bluejeanx

Sounds great! Hope to see FreeFlarum updated to BETA 9 in the upcoming week. Thanks for your ongoing support for the service as some people leave and abandon their projects. Have a great day!

Sanguine

fladis if FreeFlarum says there is no CNAME, generally it is true 🙂 You can see for yourself, for example here: https://mxtoolbox.com/DNSLookup.aspx

The certificate will only work when CNAME is correct. Your best bet is to use a subdomain or another domain. See for more information: https://www.freeflarum.com/docs/howto/custom-domain/

Welcome back!

Sanguine

Thanks to all who have donated, your gift is heartwarming and also a confirmation that FreeFlarum has engaged users.

I am working on upgrading all forums. Because of this, the settings feature won't be available for the coming days. Eg you won't be able to switch domain name or download an export of your forum. Will post updates in this thread.

Sanguine

FreeFlarum beta9 has just been released! All newly created forums will run the latest and greatest. To start your own beta9, head over to FreeFlarum.com.

Soon, I will start migrating existing forums over. Let me know if you want to be first.

Please post your extension requests in this thread. Requirements:

Confirmation that it works in beta9
Does not download PHP code or send large amount of mail
Does not need manual intervention to install/update (removing database tables etc).
No ads

K2300 hello!

As Sanguine indicated please post your extension requests in the FreeFlarum thread

Sanguine Please post your extension requests in this thread

If you're asking about adding Bazaar to FreeFlarum, Sanguine already said it won't happen. If you need full control of your forum, you can install Flarum on your own server 😉

Sanguine I suggest you to add my polish translation, as the available one doesn't seem to support many community extensions. 😄 As we all know, when translations aren't provided, Beta 9 shows some placeholder strings, or how would you call them. FreeFlarum gets simply unusable with third party extensions as a consequence.

As for now, my extension supports:

Extiverse Bazaar,
FoF Byobu,
FoF Links,
FoF User Bio,
FoF Masquerade,
FoF Reactions,
FoF Polls,
FoF Gamification,
FoF User Directory,
FoF Formatting,
FoF Prevent Necrobumping,
FoF Merge Discussions,
FoF ReCaptcha,
FoF Split,
Matteocontrini Imgur Upload,
Flagrow Ads,
Wiwatsrt Best Answer.

Which covers merely all of the extensions currently available, plus some more you might want to add in close future. 🙂

Also, you used my extension in FreeFlarum beta 7 and I didn't hear any complaints. 😃

SamB440

Great work! Personally, I think the following extensions would be nice to have;

https://discuss.flarum.org/d/17771-friendsofflarum-secure-https
https://discuss.flarum.org/d/10784-custom-html-error-pages
As far as I can see, they work fine for beta 9

Sanguine

SamB440 Secure HTTPS added!

For the other one, I cannot find a confirmation that it works for beta9.

Sanguine Most beta 8 extensions should work in beta 9, excluding a few anomalies.

SKevo

I see now, as I scrolled throught the entire thread.
So, another request:
https://discuss.flarum.org/d/4154-flagrow-upload-the-intelligent-file-attachment-extension
This might be only for beta.8, but it might work in beta.9 too:

We better try it out and if it won't work, we'll just have to wait for an update.

Edit: Another one 😉
