I think it is good as that, amiright?

User34 you've mapped flarum.twistforums.cf to forums.freeflarum.com. This means your custom hostname at FreeFlarum should be flarum.twistforums.cf. twistforums.cf is not resolving to anything right now.

If you wanted to use twistforums.cf as the FreeFlarum hostname you'd need to map that name. However you can't CNAME an apex domain because of DNS limitation. You should either use an A record with some fixed IP (but you should only do that if FreeFlarum allows it) or use a service that offers "ANAME" records (Namecheap) or "CNAME flattening" (Cloudflare) so you can use a pseudo-CNAME at the apex domain anyway.

DanielTheGeek By DNS relay service, I meant having a way of programmatically manipulating the DNS table, pointing the internal subdomain to the custom one. I'm curious about how you implemented this because the TTL is practically instant.

Errr.. why would you want to point the subdomain to the custom domain? Currently, users can CNAME an external domain to the FreeFlarum subdomain, which seems to work fine? The only caveat are apex domains, as explained by @clarkwinkelmann. However, this case is very rare and even then, can be resolved by using specific DNS providers such as Cloudflare.

DanielTheGeek There are many ways I can help, as I'm a full stack dev...

That's an awesome offer! FYI, I want to open source large parts of FF.com so that many people can collaborate. However, I need to rewrite a bit of the core (Python) first and I am awaiting the release of beta8 first.

DNS was (eventually) good, but you had to connect your domain through https://www.freeflarum.com/settings. I did that for you, it is working now! https://flarum.twistforums.cf/

Could you let it show up on http://twistforums.cf instead of https://flarum.twistforums.cf/ ?

SKevo Please add this extension https://discuss.flarum.org/d/849-hyn-default-group-assigning-default-group-to-new-users

Felli

thedude That extension is pretty old tbh...

thedude

Felli But, I see that users not in any group can't post. It says something went wrong. But when I add that user to a group like admin, mod or whatever created, they can post.

luceos

thedude users that sign up are in a hidden (not editable) group called Members; you can give that group permission to post.

thedude

luceos Members are permitted to post by default and everything is okay there I think.
here's a snap of it https://ibb.co/gerK4o

thedude

luceos And here's the forum created with free flarum https://forum.codepractice.net

thedude

luceos I just created a test account in 2nd mentioned forum of @Somyrion > tried posting > it worked. Looks like something is wrong in my forum's permission. But I can't see any. Members have been given permission to create discussion by default. And i didn't changed that, I did some changes in the lower end though.

Somyrion

I tried creating a new forum with FF for a community I'm building, but apparently I've reached my forum creation limit. ? There are at least two FreeFlarum forums that I've created which I know I won't ever use again, and would delete to be able to create this new one (https://lazarus.freeflarum.com and https://foresttest.freeflarum.com) but I can't find a way to do this. Is there such a way to do so?

luceos

Somyrion info@freeflarum.com ?

waynemakes

thedude I'm having the same issue. Users get "Oops" errors. I can't even see my "members" permissions.

thedude It's because of Askimet. If you disable, it'll work, or if you set it up correctly, it should work as well.

Sanguine Awesome

Shyuan

Hi @Sanguine, it's really awesome to see freeflarum.com. May I ask if I were to use a custom domain using CNAME, how do I deal with the SSL part? Since subdomain.freeflarum.com gets SSL applied automatically. Thank you in advanced.

thedude

Shyuan You can get ssl from Let's Encrypt Authority by using sslforfree.com. You can get a wildcard SSL for free. Go to the website > enter your domain ( for wildcard input like this *.yourdomain.tld > verify your domain ownership > install in your server .
Done! Congrats ! ?

Sanguine

Shyuan FreeFlarum will do it automagically for you, just add CNAME, enter your custom domain at freeflarum.com and... poof! SSL.

Shyuan

thedude Sanguine thank you very much for your info ?

Celemo

There is a possibility to add the Bazaar extension ?

https://flagrow.io/packages/flagrow/bazaar
https://github.com/flagrow/bazaar
https://discuss.flarum.org/d/5151-flagrow-bazaar-the-extension-marketplace

luceos

Celemo bazaar allows installation of any extension which is not how the freeflarum platform works as extensions installed are available (and also are able to break) all freeflarum flarum forums.
