move out from flarum to wordpress

[phenomlab]

@sinanisler nice work ! Welcome to Sudonix

[phenomlab]

@hari you might want to check back here in this thread and review the work that @sinanisler has done in terms of converting Flarum to WordPress.

Impressive stuff.

@sinanisler as a side note, the below GIST appears to include your database password. I’d strongly recommend remove this sensitive information, and also changing the password if this is actually used on any production installation

@phenomlab its ok
i always make my passes random and that server/db already shutdown.

thanks

[phenomlab]

@sinanisler Good.

@sinanisler OMG this is great news for me.

i have a WordPress flarum like theme if you want i can send the theme files, we almost worked for 3months on it [on and off]. (i am not a dev someone in the past worked for it.)

it has deep integration with wpDiscuzz with features like move post and few other important features.

in fact i was thinking to share it to the public but it is still buggy.

as you are already working and saying it is at the final stage i am not going to miss this.

after all, this being minimalist is very important to stay close to the updates. wpdisuczz is something interesting but it is complicated to maintain a theme.

This is WordPress

We have also implemented the YARPP related post with CRPT custom related post type

i will try to bring that project online and share URL here so you can review . it is bit slow but i will share the code which will be helpful to build related post.

i am all in on this

You might want to reconsider that

@phenomlab I could not find the email settings, I am setting this page as my home page

thanks to @sinanisler for stepping in.

[phenomlab]

@Hari click the bell icon at the top and set the watching status. That will trigger an email for this particular topic at least.

//update i started migrating files into this domain 123forum.tk

i will list all features that we have implemented there and we will figure out which features we can take from the 123forum

[phenomlab]

@Hari keep us posted.

[Hari]

123forum theme is an identical flarum them with all features. it is fully built though it is not deployed due to load issues. the reason i am sharing is you can consider taking CSS or JS from it . i am aware about reusing doesn’t always work for our needs but consider it as a visual prototype

• YARP + Custom Post Types Relationships (CPTR)

where we can select as many related discussions manually

10 related discussion will be shown automatically
using CPTR if we set 2 discussions rest of the 8disucssions will be shown from YARPP

The biggest reason for us to start this project is related posts and flarum doesn’t support Dravid languages like hindi, telugu (they recently fixed major bug on this)

the reason we did not go for buddy boss is it has these weird slugs

https://www.buddyboss.com/support-forums/topic/group-members-are-not-being-displayed/

what we wanted is

domain.com/forum/this-is-my-question

we never wanted subpages like

domain.comforum/this-is-my-question/topic/nature/this-is-my-question/10

default WordPress comment link is acceptable for example

domain.comforum/this-is-my-question#10

of course, this is not suitable for large threads but I make sure to close any discussion under 10 comments so there will be no need for pagination or lazy loading.

CloudWays+Cloudflare enterprise will help me to achieve after load speeds + Redis for WordPress will handle the extra load.

are you building a WordPress block theme? if that is the case it would be easy to use with a regular WordPress theme without diving into buddy press

[sinanisler]

@Hari thanks for the scrool indicator codepen i was looking for that one
I couldn’t find it I will add this on posts for sure.

edit: scroll not realtime it is calculating coordinates when you stop scrolling. sadge…

it is simple Wordpress theme I am cutting lots of features because we don’t need it and ofc you can add plugins later.

here is the forum https://atarikafa.com/toplulukk/
( it will move here soon https://atarikafa.com/topluluk/ )

for the permalink you can make any permalink you want because it is main posts and categories and everything will work no SEO problem. for my case only users u/user links will change to members/user I will just make a 301 on htacsess for this.

I tried wpdisqus and similar ones but I wanted to focus on theme design first. i am making the theme simple so it supports any plugin. i may even upload this to wp.org if I make the time for it

only ajax posting/topic starting feature missing
but here is the first commit for you

@sinanisler looks nice, but needs some work from the mobile perspective

[sinanisler]

@phenomlab how small display is your phone

I checked mobile too

edit: oh you are using larger text setting that’s why ok ok got it…

[phenomlab]

@sinanisler it’s not small It’s a OnePlus 9 Pro. Did you use an emulator for testing, as these are known to not be very accurate. I get the same from my iPhone 13 Pro (work) also.

[sinanisler]

@phenomlab easy fix i may need to make those tags relative and move a bit.

[phenomlab]

@sinanisler yes, looks like you’ve used position: absolute; for the tags

[sinanisler]

i could not find good scrool indicator codepen or jsfiddle pfff
anyone know a lib or something like flarum or Discourse scroll indicator ?
