Free Flarum hosting on an expert platform by FreeFlarum.com

thareekanvar No, if you want to make money, you should get a paid hosting account elsewhere.

Hi! Is there a way to see the list of registered members on FreeFlarum ?

Fla

roinigo Do you want to copy the contents? ?

Sanguine

roinigo Why would you want that?

Digital

roinigo You can ask for "how many" are currently registered in FreeFlarum. But asking for private data/information is a BIG NO!

roinigo

Sorry my question was not very clear... I used FreeFlarum to have a forum for my cooperative and i'd just like to know how many members (on this forum) are registered. I don't need any data/information about them ! ?

Hi,

I spent hours and hours searching/testing for the best forum solutions :

Discourse : complicated and not that fast
Invision : expensive and not that fast
Plush : not that convincing + cost
XenForo : cost and limited
Vanilla : stability and complicated for custom functions
BBpress : limited
And old school solutions not very innovative : vbulletin, simple machines, etc....

I do think that Flarum is one of the best solutions for the next years : php and blazing fast, responsive etc

I am really interested in deploying several forums with Freeflarum but I would like to know if it's possible to have visibility on the monthly/yearly cost of upcoming plans ? It is possible to have an idea of the price range ?

Thanks

Now, the Free Forum left only Flarum and Vanilla.
I am using both..
I believe Flarum will become popular when leaving the Beta version..

Sanguine

kungfupanda Expected price range will be free for personal use and $7-$50/month for organisations.

So, no possibilities to know how many subscibers on my freeflarum forum...?

Hello!

I recently made a new forum using freeflarum. It shows potential, but I came across a slight problem. Some icons for groups such as "user-tie" don't show up. Are you aware of this? If not, could it be looked into?

Thanks.

Aspect Some icons for groups such as "user-tie" don't show up

That's because Flarum beta 7 (which FreeFlarum is running right now) is using version 4.7 of FontAwesome. The list of icons for 4.7 can be found here https://fontawesome.com/v4.7.0/icons/

Flarum beta8 will use the newer FontAwesome with all the new "free" icons.

That's not a problem of freeflarum but flarum in general and fontawesome.
I had the same problem with the "d-and-d" and several other more complex icons. You can only use simple ones.

Aspect

achlys Ah, I see. Thanks.

Aspect

Also, I have another question. It may be really stupid, and it is, but, how can I create new 'categories' or 'boards'? Do I need the "Tags" extention?

Followup, is there a way to see the description of an extention?

achlys

On the admin panel go to 'categories' there you can make new categories and sub-categories.
In the section 'permissions' you can manage, who can see, read etc in which cat.

I am a bit disappointed. I had my question for help with email cut off by someone named luceos: https://discuss.flarum.org/d/17158-freeflarum-com-nothing-coming-to-email

I had asked Freeflaum about why I could not receive any email telling me about posts and THEY told me to ask on THIS forum: So I tried to, but had my query closed. What to do??

I was asking why email does not work and was told to contact freflarum here. (EDIT--> removed wrong address)

However, I did and this is the exchange:

ME--> "I created this forum: https://galesig.freeflarum.com/d/8-jalt-code-of-

But how to receive notifications that someone posted or replied. (I think I learned you have to set that, but even after doing, nothing happened). Is it on a forum basis? On a user basis?"
I also asked--->
"Regarding mail, the help says the mail settings are enabled by default. it does not mention that we have to start something via Mailgun. Or am I misunderstanding."

Someone named Groot replied: "It should work out of the You are best off asking your question on the official Flarum forum. I only know about the Good luck with your forum "

Well, there you have it. The mail server is left mostly blank, but it does not say I have to have a mailgun account or to fill it out. So I am trying to understand why I do not receive any mail.

Can anyone help???? The other question is under SETTINGS/noifications, only TWO things are listed now, whereas before there were many more. Is something wrong?

--> someone renames a discussion I started WEB X
--> Someone locks a discussion I started WEB X
Before there were other things listed and some were by email.

Again looking to understand.

The person who cut my query off (which probably has to do with flarum, NOT the free version, has not helped matters. Thank you.

Hello Paul,

I have closed your discussion about the email for a few reasons:

discuss.flarum.org (this forum) is not a support forum for the service freeflarum.com provided by @Sanguine.
we have been tolerating support for users of freeflarum.com on this forum but only in this discussion, you posted several discussions in quick succession. I probably should have explained that, my apologies.

In hindsight @Sanguine might have been correct, I wasn't aware email configuration is a responsibility of the user. I'll reopen the discussion you linked. We are not aware about how freeflarum.com has set the service up and as such we prefer support of that platform to be handled initially by @Sanguine instead of us.

Hope you understand, let's move to the other discussion. It was unlocked.

Daniël.

PaulArenson

Thank you for the explanation, luceos No problem. So does that mean I should continue to post here? (Waiting for Sanguine (Groot?) to come in? Or go back to the other one? Same with my question about notifications? Thank you!!!!

I went back to the other topic re the mail. It seems Sanguine can answer here about mail, or on the other post you told me I could look not mailgun. I guess I am confused because I wrote and someone named Groots answered saying it works out of the box.... I assumed Groots was also from FREEFlarum...

Meanwhile, should I keep THIS question here---> Is it about Freeflrum or about Flarum in general?

"Can anyone help???? The other question is under SETTINGS/noifications, only TWO things are listed now, whereas before there were many more. Is something wrong?

--> someone renames a discussion I started WEB X
--> Someone locks a discussion I started WEB X
Before there were other things listed and some were by email."

Thanks

I see......I read this: "Your FreeFlarum forum is ready to send mail out of the box, using the Mailgun service. These are the default settings (under Administration > Email), that you should not have to touch:"

I interpreted that freeflarum USES the service and I do not have o touch anything. This means, presumably, that I HAVE TO set it up, but I used the settings listed? very confusing sentence, or very poor reading on my part.

Ok...will look for how to do that.

luceos

PaulArenson it means you don't need to touch the mail settings, it will work as initially configured. Have you checked your spam folder?

Sanguine

PaulArenson

Email on FreeFlarum should work out of the box. If it doesn't, it is either in your spam folder, or your provider blocks Mailgun. In both cases, we cannot help you. However, you could try setting up Gmail (or another provider) for outgoing mail. This is unsupported though. See https://www.freeflarum.com/docs/howto/configure-mail/

If you have general questions about Flarum's behavior, such as when it sends a notification in the first place, you should ask them on this forum (not this thread).
