Is there a way to set a page as the home page rather than the forum?

I'm trying to change just the blue header or boxes on top of all topics on the home page and and on threads on the default blue theme. I've found how to edit colors on colors.less but don't see an option for this. Am I just missing it?

Thanks.

all is in the title.
Is it possible to add custom fields in approve interface and user list ?

and a double mail field in register to verify input ?

Thanks by advance

Hi everytime i try to create a test account on my CF powered forum i never get the email and when i login to the admin area it always says that the status of the account i created is blocked, can someone help me on this as no one will be able to sign up.

If the category has subcategories on the category page show topics from subcategories

On my form say i wanted people to not be able to reply to a topic not reply to a topic i did not make ( i am the owner ) how do i do that?
example http://smalldevgames.net16.net/index.php?u=/topic/4/Test%20topic
I know i made it but still, i want to be able to do this for stuff like spammers that got thru the spam filter.

hello !
just a little remaing bug in 3.7 with confirmation mail.
if username contain special caracters, the generated url is invalid.
just have to change line 120 of sys/CODOF/User/Register.php
with this one :

 $confirm_url = RURI . "user/confirm" . "&user=" . urlencode($fields['username']) . "&token=" . $this->token;

to encode field username.

a simple question: how bbcode works ?
is there a list of avaiable codes ? is there some code to change color/bg of a text ?

thanks for help

I use German as forum language (I did a translation for the locale files which I will provide shortly).

I have just realized that special characters like ä, ö, ü, etc. are converted to their respective html entities before being stored in the codo_post table, e.g.

ä ö ü

While that is fine for display, it apparently breaks the search when you are searching for a word containing any of those letters.

The same is probably true for all special characters.

These days with utf-8 encoding the conversion into html entities probably isn't necessary.

But if you do it you need to convert the search term as well or you break the search.

I am doing a lot of monkey patching to get this software to work the way I want it to and I have the distinct feeling that all my patches will be overwritten once the next update comes around...

Update: I provided the German translation at https://github.com/evnix/codoforum-translations and issued a pull request. I noticed there is a Spanish translation waiting for its merge since January 15th.

Hi all,
Thank you first for this great Solution.
I implemented sso login and it worked perfectly, but when I wanted to create 970 categories manually using insert directly in codo-categories table in phpmyadmin it's no more working
I thought it's because it's taking more time to show the page, I changed timeout in client.php but it's not working.

I checked by using the old table of categories with few categories and it's working again.

Just to be sure : when creating categories in database, I just need to edit codo-categories table and permission table ? no more edition ?

Did I miss something when I created categories manually ?

Category Icon too big and in wrong place.... when you open categories in mobile view or desktop the large icon dominates the screen. Maybe it could be resized and moved to just before the title??

Current Desktop View

Current Mobile View

Proposed Desktop View (would also be less bandwidth)

Proposed Mobile View...more more pleasing

I have now reached 3,000+ members on my Codoforum with about 85% making at least one post. Hoping to grow my forum another 50% in the next year.
How's everyone else doing and do you have targets?

BUG: users can PM others before their account has been approved...

If you define roles to manage permission on category/forum, you may have a minor bug when creating new topic : users can select all the categories/forums instead of only having categories where users can create topic.

The solution :

/sys/CODOF/Forum/Category.php
line number 51, change the function

   public function getCategoriesWhereUserCanCreateTopic() {

        $cats = array();
        $user = \CODOF\User\User::get();
        $qry = 'SELECT cat_id, cat_pid, cat_name, cat_alias, no_topics, cat_img, granted'
                . ' FROM ' . PREFIX . 'codo_categories, codo_permissions '
                . ' WHERE permission=\'create new topic\' AND cid=cat_id AND rid=' . $user->rid . ''
                . ' AND EXISTS (SELECT 1 FROM codo_permissions AS p WHERE '
                . '  p.cid=cat_id AND p.rid=' . $user->rid . ' AND permission=\'create new topic\' AND granted=1) '
                . ' ORDER BY cat_order';

        $ans = $this->db->query($qry);

        if ($ans) {

            $cats = $ans->fetchAll(\PDO::FETCH_CLASS);
        }

        $cats = \CODOF\Hook::call('on_get_categories_for_create_topic', $cats);

        return $cats;
    }

Hey, just a general reminder/plead for the documentation to be updated, especially the prerequisites. Things like minimum versions of php, required modules, and so forth really really need to be updated.

Please and thanks.

Hi

My forum address is www.f.palathully.com . I already posted so many images , videos and more. But from yesterday onwards I can't post a new topic with image. Without image it is working. The images are uploading to attachment folder. It is in 0777 permission mode. Please test this problem with this login details ...

Login : test
Password : testonly

Thanks

Search bar is only visible on "all topics" I think it should still be visible when you drill down into categories....
Also would be awesome if search terms entered where recorded and visible in the back end

A minimum characters for replies setting in admin's global settings would be useful to encourage more dialogue/interaction as I have users at the moment do 3-4 character replies...

I've got a new install of codoforum up and running, and I was able to import my old forum without a hitch.

I'm having trouble with notifications. They don't work. When I click on "Notifications",
It just spins, and never shows the notifications. What information would help troubleshoot this?

CentOS 7
PHP 5.6.29
Codoforum 3.7.2 build 10

Thanks
