  • Welcome to the GrapheneOS discussion forum!

Hello folks!
Finally a dedicated forum for GrapheneOS.

strcat Nice to see this is a thing.

I also looked into existing forum software for a (now defunct) project a number of years ago and did not come back impressed with the existing options. phpBB for instance likes to use a "databse abstraction layer" which is mainly just syntactic sugar around the legacy mysql/mysqli modules and if I remember correctly it involved SQL queries constructed using an aggressive amount of string interpolation and escaping. In theory it is possible using this to produce queries involving user input that isn't liable to injection but the list of caveats and when can go wrong when certain things are forgotten would be post in itself.

I am a bit ambivalent of having forums designed around having all the threads on a single page as opposed to the legacy format of a listing of categories and having lists of threads under each category. I suppose if its really wanted one could design a similar layout for Flarum.

      JTL Flarum's primary tags act like traditional forum categories and can be placed in a 2-level hierarchy. In the settings for configuring the forum, there's a choice for the appearance of the default home page:

      Home Page

      Choose the page which users will first see when they visit your forum.

      • All Discussions
      • Tags

          strcat That has a grotesque amount of empty space between categories/tags and would probably look better in a column segmented format like other forum software. Else I agree.

            tmp It's not a built-in feature, but there are third-party extensions to do that for Flarum (like that one). At the moment this is just a minimal installation of Flarum until the quality of these extensions can be somewhat guaranteed.

              Hello!
              Thank you for making this! To have a discussion forum similar to Matrix but in Reddit style is a delight to me.

              Thank you everyone for your continued work.
