Hello Adesh!

Suggestion for translations:

In our system we already use it with success for years:

Each text that appears on the front end, is in our php program, a reference to a language text file that was selected when the user log in.

It would make it possible to each user, at the same time, see the chat/forum in his preferred language, just selecting it at log in.

Example:

1-) In our php file: <p>< =GLOBAL_BTN_PRINTDETAILS;?></p>

A) If the user select English at log in, it will refer to

define('GLOBAL_BTN_PRINTDETAILS', 'Details';

At the front end it will show as Details

B) If Brazilian Portuguese is selected, it will refer to:

define('GLOBAL_BTN_PRINTDETAILS', 'Detalhes';

At the front end it will show as Detalhes

C) If Italian is selected:

define('GLOBAL_BTN_PRINTDETAILS', 'Dettagli';

At the front end it will show as Dettagli

Each language is at a separated file (en.php, it.php, br.php, and others).

It makes it easy to translate and add different languages.

A few months ago I gave you FTP access to our system,when you kindly provided the installation of Platinum Freichat. The connection is still working, just in case you want to take another look on how we solved this problem.

if you want to develop this in Freichat and/or Codoforum, I would gladly contribute with translation for Portuguese.

Wish you a nice day

Last suggestion of the day for me :

during a post edit, an automatic increase number would be practical when using numeric list button instead only "1.". The increase will be only for consecutive items.

In order the user frontend looks the more simple as possible, maybe you can hide by default the settings "Notification level", "Hide topic messages" and "Enable infinite scrolling".

A button with by example an gear icon allow to show these settings by expanding the left panel. It saves place at the screen.

The more important for the user is to have the finder tool, the name, the icon and the short description of the topic and some statistics data.

Else, another solution can be to hide only the "Notification level" and the "Enable infinite scrolling" because the "Hide topic messages" can be usefull in direct access.

After inserting a quotes block, it misses a jump to a newline, especially by using the quotes button beside the reply button.

I use easyPHP 5.4.6 and the first time i have installed the forum, i got the Fatal error undefined function openssl_random_pseudo_bytes. By default, easyPHP has the extension OpenSSL disabled. This can be wise to alert the beginners to enable OpenSSL in your doc and during the installation process.

After loading an avatar, the preview show the picture with an incorrect ratio size :

The error is just for the preview.

Hey, maybe I am simply overlooking it, but wouldnt a mark as resolved button be really useful? Forum is truly great but lacks a few widely used bits a functionality. This is particularly would be useful for your own forum.

Hi there,

thanks for your work.

I'm currently testing your forum, and I find it great and beautiful.

Is have some features request / Recommandations.

• search : I think it could be useful to add a search field inside topics. I also find that the search field on forum landing page isn't enough visible.

• image upload from iOS : This doesn't work. The image selector open photos application on iOS, but the photo doesn't seem to be uploaded

• autoconnect link : Is it possible to generate some autoconnect link ? For example, opening the forum using a special URL allowing be to be autoconnected. This link can be generated via a WS for example. It could be a very useful feature if accessing the forum through a mobile application for example

Thanks again for your work.

Regards

Hey guys, 5 more days till Codoforum 2.6 released. So far, I love every features included inside this script. And I don't think there isn't any major features needed to be add except for related topics listed under the first post.

Besides that some more minor features such as:

1. Open external link in new tab
2. After publishing a post, go straight to it instead of being redirected back to the parent category
3. I don't know why but there are a bunch of same css files in cache folder just different name.
4. Support for MaxCDN

It would be nice to have the option "Open link in new tab" when adding a new link.

For example a little checkbox, like in Redactor:

Option for avatar size greater than 100x100px

Hmm for role based security I only have two ideas, one for back end and one for front end:

Back end:
While making a category or editing a category there must be a check box as to which user role can post in that category.
Front end:
While making a post there should be a check box at the bottom of the text editor to make it sticky or not, only for Admins n moderators.

Also there should be a small content box which can occupy the position below the category navigation in the home page, to display the rules of the community. Because all traditional forums have a separate category called "rules n regulations". But that is old fashioned.

Another thing is, try to remove "/forum" from URL structure, because it will not make sense for people who installs the software in a sub domain called forum, then URL will kook weird eg. forum.domain.com/forum/topic
So if u can remove that forum tag from URL, it will clean up the URL.

I have some big suggestions which I feel are the most significant for 2.5. Hope you do not mind me sharing them.

1. Inclusion of gallery upload option in the "upload popup box". Because what if a member wants to share, say 7 screenshots or pics from some movie or so he/she watched. Without a gallery all the images will get displayed in a list order, which will lengthen a post, so if u can provide a gallery option, it would make the posts look more elegant. BUT gallery means you SHOULD NOT include Jquery lightbox to display gallery images on-click, instead try utilising CSS3 lightbox. I once helped a person set up CSS3 lightbox for Wordpress see -> https://wordpress.org/plugins/css3lightbox/ . The logic is simple and avoids the use of all jquery and other bloat. This gallery will pose another problem, so for admins there should be an option for bandwidth management, like controlling the amount of mb an user can upload in one gallery. You do not have to integrate this option in the backend (because backends are always tougher than core modifications, so we can do it another time) , but make it available in the constants.php file under /sites/default/

2. In mobile view the post editor screen, when u click on "reply button" comes under the "notifications control panel - the panel where u can adjust the level of notifications" This is a bug since the post editor should always come immediately under the comment to which we are making the reply, This happens in Tabs and mobile, u can try resizing your browser window and u will see this bug in action.

3. Sitemaps and RSS should be enabled. If RSS is enabled then people can display their forum posts in other CMS using the RSS widget. RSS should contain a thumbnail of the post also, if the starting post in a topic has atleast one image.

4. Most importantly, when people are posting in a topic, if the new posts gets loaded in real time (eg. If u have used Disqus comment system, you can see when some one replies in a conversation, those new comments will get loaded automatically) That will give the users a sensation of being engaged in a real conversation. I know live notifications are already there. But trust me, sometimes, as you can see in FB groups and all, when more than 10-20 users are engaged in conversation, we loose track of notifications. BUT the question comes, "how much impact will it have on the host server" In the case of Disqus, they have dedciated servers to handle multiple requests. So it is better if this real time conversations feature is optional. Means if a person has VPS with more than 2GB ram and all he can enable it if his/her forum has large conversations taking place. This option can also be integrated in the constants.php file rather than in the backend GUI.

5. There are some other heavy concepts missing in other departments like personal message, friend requests and blocking friends etc. But if you ask me logically it is better not to make personal messages real time, because then as u already see in Facebook, people will prefer to chat with their friends rather than making posts in a group. So if at all you are considering personal messaging, it is better to make it not in real time, or else it will defeat the purpose of a "forum".

6. I know the script is already fast, but if it can make use of X-cache or other php opcode cacheer (I said X-cache, because it is easiest to install in VPS as compared to APC) , I donno may be it will accelerate codoforum a little bit more? O.o I don't know. Just my feeling

Hope this is not a pain to read such long suggestions. I know it will be impossible for you to implement all these features in next version it self (infact, no developer can do these much changes in one iteration of a script) so choose the most important from the above, preferably real time post replying and loading of other replies in a topic and gallery uploads and role based security.

For version 2.5, I feel main focus should be on three things:

1. Sticky posts and restricted categories ( where only moderators can post)

2. Integration of personal messaging system.

3. Small seo control panel in back end where admins can change meta description favicon and all.

I think these three things deserve your primary focus for version 2.5. I am under the belief that these features have not already been incorporated into version 2.4

Hi, I am a wordpress developer. The only suggestion I can give regarding this forum is to introduce a more fluent way to upgrade from one version to another. The current way of importing database is not a reliable one. it would be really good if you can provide some alternate ways to update the software, considering the fact that you guys are releasing updates every 15-20 days.

Right now am using 2.3 version. My client needed a simple forum, so I will not be updating the version for a long time. So after 1 year if my client have to upgrade, then importing the whole database to another database is least easy method for him.

Hope you introduce better upgrade methods in the next releases.

Hello,

FreiChat is awesome but it still needs some polishing chat box is missing scroll bar it should have a scroll bar to view old messages and on every request it should fetch only 5 or 10 old messages...

Mehroz Anjum

Nice job on this joomla extension! Very helpful compared to some extensions available in the market. I would like to suggest that you put filter on all the users online in case they all piled up in the list.

More power!

the resign i suggest this is because having two chats open is really annoying this is why i suggest putting the group chat into the main chat it will be much easyer to use

I am new to Joomla 3.2.2 but I notice that by default it has a "Nav-up" button on the bottom right of every page to allow visitors to pop up to the top of the page.
Nice. But the Freichat interface covers this up.
Is there a way to move the interface a little bit to the left?

Just a suggestion.
