Hallo Community

because there is no dark theme (style) for Codoforum I created one for myself and I share the result now with the Codo community.

I am not a professional webdesign artist or developer. It is one of my hobbies and even if I love webdesign and already created a lot of projects, I`m sure the theme is far from perfect but it is ready to use.

If You like it or download it give me a thumbs up or leave a comment.

Oh and by the way you are all very very welcome at:

https://net-twin.de a community for creative people and their hobbies.

https://prattle.space a free Twitter alternative!
I try to update the theme from time to time and maybe I will integrate some new features too.

Here is the download link - PLEASE dont forget to give me a STAR rating at GitHub thanks mates:

Kind Regards, Andy

Hello dear Codoforum friends, :D

I thought it was time to give Codoforum a completely new style. Many of you are already familiar with my "codarko" theme for Codoforum, but that was almost entirely CSS-based.

With my new "codogamer" theme, I'm taking things a big step further. You'll get a truly brand-new theme in a gamer style, with a nice dark color scheme, red accents, and a 100% full-width layout.

I hope you enjoy it, and if you'd like, please feel free to post here in the forum where you're using the theme or what you've done with it. The theme is open source, so you can do whatever you want with it.

Cheers, Andreas @WebCrew

Hello Codo Team,

I'm very happy you're back. I've already announced a little surprise for you in the Codologic forum, and I really hope you'll find it useful. I've been working on Codoforum myself, and quite extensively at that.

Download here: https://mega.nz/file/onhQHawI#fz_E3FQhHC7JV12r_5z7oCUDp7nYx8l9TPAFngF5Vrg

A working demo version here:
https://parlyn.org/forum/index.php?u=/

The scope of it might surprise you at first:

You're not just getting a few simple fixes, but a thoroughly tested maintenance/security version with

• updated dependencies,
• PHP 8.4 compatibility,
• a revamped, modern SSO,
• a new day/night mode,
• a new privacy system plugin,
• a working bridge for Codoforum (in addition to FreiChat), a dedicated plugin for Codoforum, and one that you can post in the Joomla Marketplace,
• clear maintainer documentation so you can easily get to grips with my changes,
• and a practically tested reference environment.

Codoforum has undergone multiple security tests:

• First a PHP linter,
• then Dependabot on GitHub,
• followed by even more rigorous and in-depth security checks with Codex,
• and later two passes with AI security agents – Codoforum is now probably as bulletproof as possible.

I sincerely hope you enjoy my work. I had a lot of fun with it and worked on it very hard for several weeks.

Best regards to you all, and I hope you are all well.

Hello Codologic Team

As I can see, you're back and have already been extremely busy updating Codoforum. It's really great that you're back; I've missed being able to use Codoforum properly.

I also have a little surprise for you, which I'll send you in the coming days. I've been working very hard on Codoforum myself because I wasn't sure how long you would prioritize the other project.

What I did - a little teaser:

A substantial Codoforum 5.4.1 maintenance and security update is currently in progress and mostly already finished.

So far, we have modernized several outdated dependencies, resolved remaining compatibility issues, tightened security-sensitive areas, and completed a full PHP 8.4 syntax review of the Codoforum-owned codebase. The current maintenance build has also been deployed to a real forum and successfully passed frontend, administration, category, posting, login, and logout tests.

We are now working on CodoBridge, a clean replacement for the legacy SSO plugin. Instead of permanently matching users by email address, CodoBridge will use a stable, non-reassignable identity. Passwords remain inside Joomla, every login receives a short-lived single-use authorization code, and the browser never receives the private client secret.

CodoBridge is being developed as two coordinated packages:

CodoBridge for Joomla (now you can offer FreiChat + Codoforum with a Joomla connection)

CodoBridge for Codoforum (as a replace of the old SSO Plugin)

The first Joomla 6.1 development build is already taking shape and passes PHP 8.4 syntax validation. The Codoforum client, account-linking logic, installation packages, security review, and full HTTPS end-to-end tests are the next steps.

Once the replacement has been proven reliable, the troublesome legacy SSO plugin can finally be retired from the maintained build.

The overall goal is deliberately conservative: preserve Codoforum 5.4.1, avoid unnecessary breaking changes, improve its security and PHP 8.4 readiness, document all maintainer changes in English, and provide a dependable base for future operation.

You`ll also get a Codoforum own new Privacy Plugin for the DSGVO & Cookie Laws which are now standard in many countries.

By the way I'm currently working on developing my own 2.5D game engine, https://parlyn.org, ohhh and I'd be happy to remove spam from the Codoforum community again if you still want me as a moderator

Greetings and all the best to you and your family.

Kind Regards, Andreas @WebCrew

helo,i have a problem with the role action.

I try to login with user and working as usually,but even i try to go to the main page on index.php i got problem with the role of user,administrator but even i try using the moderator role its working and nothing problem happened.Please ur attention guys.Thanks

Hello,
I am starting to use Codoforum.
In the post I use the button to load an image. The image is well loaded on the server, in the correct path, but it is not shown in the post, neither in the initial screen nor when entering the post. Only a link appears with the name assigned to the image.
I've been trying solutions but still can't get it to work.
I am using xampp with php 7.4

Any ideas ?
Thanks a lot
Kind regards

I can't post code with MySQL command like below.

"SELECT * FROM `table` WHERE B = B"

When I try post this I get alert error:

codoforum error undefined

Hello,
I have two queries:

• How to acquire a CodoForum license? I've seen it somewhere on the site but now I can't find it.

• On my site only registered users can create post and reply. Now I want to make a category where anyone, even if not registered, can create a post and reply. In that case, I create a category and assign permissions to all users to create new topics, in particular to the guest user.When an unregistered user ( guest ) enters the category, the "New Topic" button appears correctly. Enter to create the post, but when you click the Post button an error occurs.

Any comments or bux fixes?

Hello Everyone,

I'm utilising codologic right now to create an online community for a project, and I'd appreciate some tips on how to increase user involvement through customisation. The forum functions flawlessly, however I believe there is still room for improvement in terms of user interaction and aesthetic appeal.

In particular, I'm curious about:

Customising the Theme: Is there a way to change the default forum layout, colour scheme, or typography? Are there any themes or tools that would improve appearance without compromising functionality?

Features of User Interactivity: I've noticed that a lot of well-known forums have leaderboards, achievements, and medal systems. Are these kinds of gamification elements supported by Codoforum, and if so, how can I use them? If not, is it possible to include outside programs to include these features?

What are some best practices for search engine optimisation on Codoforum? Does my forum have to have a certain plugin installed or configuration to rank higher in search results?

Security and Spam Prevention: Although the built-in security protections are useful, I'm wondering if there are any more actions or plugins that could assist protect the forum from spammers and unsolicited messages in particular.

Your suggestions or success stories about increasing mendix user engagement and personalisation would be much appreciated. Any advice, sources, or samples would be greatly valued!

Thank you in advance.

Hi again, it's been a while.

I was looking around and had a question. Is it possible to have the server send a webhook request, or a few, when someone makes a new topic, and change each request by category (such as posting in a category called 'games' will send one webhook but a post in a category called 'internal' would not.

Hello, all!

This is my first post after just joining this discussion, so please forgive me and provide kind assistance if I have posted to the wrong subsection!

I am new here but a real enthusiast and loving this community so far. I have a background in teaching coding and in education and feel I could help with documentation, at least for starters.

As a new member in this forum and wish to share and gain some knowledge. I am looking forward to create my own discussion to resolve my query and gain some knowledge though I have taken part in various discussion which is definitely helped me a lot.

Also in what category should be taken depends on what factors?

Thank you in advance.

I'm creating a new thread so as not to hijack someone Else's thread. When visitors access my website they are greeted by the infamous blue box. I'm sure it has something to do with the group chat. I have disabled group chat for visitors and only logged in members can use it (using the ACL) . Logged in members do not get the blue box and are able to use it just fine. I'm currently running the following:

Joomla 3.4.5
Freichat 10
Freichat Plugin v7
php 5.5.22
MySql 5.5.43
Community Builder 2.0.12

I have used both basic and silver themes and the problem persists with both. Does anyone have any other suggestions?

Can we, in Freichat, see as an Administrator users chat history? For example Seeing the last two days chat...

Also, Can Freichat automatically delete old chat messages? For example, deleting all messages older than 5 days... Or do we have to do it manually?

Thank you

Hi!

Is Codoforum still being developed? The forum looks abandoned / unmoderated, the code base not maintained for quite a while (including open CVEs).

I'm looking for a (support) forum to be integrated into my app's landing page, and Codoforum seems to tick all boxes - but I don't want to flog a dead horse...

Matt

My install uses SSO connected to a WordPress website.

After restoring to a backup of the files and database from a day earlier, site SSO not working, there are two Warnings, the site CSS is obviously not loading. Wondering how to solve this. Any help appreciated.

Warning: file_put_contents(/.../cache/css/5ebdc806ce4da3ce174874d104fba209.css): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /.../sys/CODOF/Asset/Stream.php on line 265

Warning: file_put_contents(/.../cache/js/f9d4002a9858fa2c3ba9f8764c6a9a97.js): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /.../sys/CODOF/Asset/Stream.php on line 265

I have been told that the restored backup of the files did not include the cache, which makes sense why I am seeing those Warnings. So is there a way to generate new cache files? Would that likely get this back up and running?

Hello codoforum team,

Can someone reach out to Malwarebytes as Malwarebytes web protection is detecting codoforum.com as malicious/hijacked domain.

Any user who uses our forums who uses Malwarebytes gets constant warnings from Malwarebytes due to codoforum getting stuff from the domain.

Hallo @adesh and @admin

I usually don't write any suggestions or only very rarely. The fact that I enjoy working here as a volunteer (as far as I can) gave me the following idea:

It would be a great feature if it could be possible to create some kind of "article templates" in the admin backend.

What I mean by that is that it allows you to create a fixed template structure for forum posts, for example:

1. for tutorials
2. support requests
3. or reviews
4. etc.

That would simply be an ingenious feature to bring more order and, of course, a nicer structure to a forum, for which it would be clearer and more uniform.
Furthermore, I think it would give Codoforum a good advantage over most other forum software since the feature is very rare.

What do you think of it - would this be feasible and would you want to tackle it?

Kind regards and thx for your awesome work.

Andy

In the documentation have a list of critical third-party domains vanilla Codoforum will need to connect to for features to work

An example of a domain i'd say is critical:
https://unpkg.com/vue@next is a example of something i would say is a critical third party domain as if Codoforum is unable to connect to it, then the "Edit Badges" page will not load.

Why this is important:
Codoforum gives the right to self-host forums if you opt for the free plan. (All forum features cannot remove Powered by) (source).

As someone who self-hosts an install of Codoforum myself (Configured an Ubunutu Server myself, setup web server, maintenance, security) I also have to configure the content security policies. And if Codoforum gave a list domains to add to the list so Codoforum works without issue then it'd remove the headache of figuring out which some features do not work (as example from above, the badges not working if https://unpkg.com/vue@next is not whitelisted, Freichat not working if https://nodelb.freichat.com also is not whitelisted, and so on.

Hello folks,
I found this forum just amazing!

In my forum I needed a like button. I did not found anything looking around, so I decided to write it by my own.

I downloaded Codoforum just yesterday so it is my very first plugin, fell free to use it and contribute it

On GitHub: https://github.com/phoenix128/codolike

Issues

• Post drafts does not save entered polls
• Browser push notifcations does not seem to work
• When a user is modifying their bio, it adds the HTML code <p></p> to it
• When a user is modifying their profile and goes under "preferences" it does not show if Show real-time notifications or Show desktop notifications is enabled.
• When a user clicks on the search bar at the top it auto-jumps up to the top of the forum when scrolling
• When in the admin dashboard and the user enables "Spam Filter" it changes but refreshes and it shows as if it did not change until the user reloads the page

Suggestions

• A way to prevent guests from voting twice on a poll if logged out (ex. IP)
• Use more gender-neutral language during UI elements (ex. polls saying "Can user recast his vote?" (Not major, just more professional language)

Just some things i've noticed playing around with Codo, cheers

Hey @admin it's me again. Hope you're doing great!

Man, I got 2 more problems.

1. I can't happen to Add or Show Pagination in Tags pages. You see, it's not there by default. And I tried to write my own codes but that didn't work.

2. Stuffs don't show up for Specify Pages. When I put just 1 path, it works fine. But when I put multiple paths (one per line) it doesn't work at all.

So buddy, can you help me out here? It's driving me nuts.
Thanks in advance!

I'm creating a forum related to a particular, but broad topic, and it needs to have the following specific features:

-the ability to follow individual users and have all their posts AND COMMENTS show up in your main feed.

-the ability to upload/download documents as a post that can be commented under like any other post. (It would also be great if it could somehow be displayed in the post, but that's not essential).

-the ability to search for the document posts based on specific keywords. Not a global site search, but searching within the "documents" sub itself.

-the ability to create private subs.

If anyone could tell me if codologic has those features, that would be great. Thanks!

I have a login form i'm trying to get working yet when I hit submit the username and password I type in just disappears! I really have no idea what I broke this time.

First off, I wanna thank the Developer (Adesh) for creating this sweet piece of content management system in the first place. Really man, a Million thanks to you!

Now, I gotta put a Dagger in your Chest. You see, buddy, you just forgot to utilize 2 cute little important features in the back-end of your script.
Now, I know a lotta folks including yourself must be thinking... what could that possibly be?
Well, behold my friends! I'll show it to ya. Just mind the Points I mentioned below:

• Store attachments on a sub-domain rather than the Parent Domain
• Restrict users (according to Primary Role settings) from creating Topics under a specific Category

Now, the Question is... why is it so Important?

Well, the Answer is very Simple.

1. If you store attachments on a different portal, say a sub-domain... it'll improve overall Page Loading Speed tremendously. Like you know, if 10000 folks upload Images on the main Domain with 50 Images per Page and 1000 folks access the Website at the same time... you can Imagine how incredibly it'll slow down the response of the server.So, you gotta use the sub-domain to store attachments. Just like YouTube, Amazon and WordPress sites do.

Now about the Restriction:

1. Let's just say there are some users that I don't want to allow create Topics under a specific category, say News and Announcements. So, when I set the Rule for a user, say a Moderator... he won't be able to create Topics under News and Announcements but he can create Topics elsewhere.

But sadly, these 2 FEATURES ain't available in Codoforum. So my buddies @adesh, @admin and @WebCrew don't you folks think they are very Important to get 'em adopted in this Software?
If so, can you make 'em happen, cap'n?

Hello @admin , i got some problem. In home page the title of the link is missing. When i click the topic, the link is there. Why this happen? Thank you
