NeXuS wrote on Wed, 25 February 2015 18:37I would say that I am about 50% done with alpha quality code.
Anything you can get us would be good. Mobile device support would be the #1 priority. Driving away the people is not a good thing. My forum is small in comparison. I don't hear a lot of complaints if any. My guess is we are vintage in nature so the forum software goes with the territory.
If you have any alpha or beta candidates for us to try let us know. I can apply my production base forum and have our users give plenty of feedback.
Let it rip!

Installed and running! Installation went without a hitch. Pretty good for an alpha release!
I will keep it in it's generic form for now. Later on I will try restoring a data dump of my production forum and see how that goes.
Some observations:
-Security credentials do not carry over when switching from main to the ACP panel. Requires you to login everytime.
-Rebuilding of the default theme doesn't seem to work though it says it was rebuilt successfully. I tried changing the header image but no changes took place. (Edit) I see that we're not using the theme/default/images directory, I found an "images" directory in the root of my web. files.
-Cannot register new users. Missing Captcha generator.

Thanks Gary, all you describe is absolutely normal.

I know, this is because the current alpha uses two distinct cookies, so I just link to the ACP login page every time.

You don't need to rebuild themes. All you need to change are the views (application/views/fud) and the CSS (theme/default/theme.css) and images (images/).

As I stated earlier at this time the PHP-GD extension is required for the captcha to work. I will try to remove dependencies later on.
If you're on Ubuntu you can install PHP-GD via: apt-get install php5-gd as root (or using sudo).

You might know about this one. I'm getting this error when trying to post a new topic.
Fatal error: Call to undefined function fix_relative_urls() in /home/curvex/public_html/fudci/application/controllers/fud/Main.php on line 872

Funny, I though I had removed that call. You can replace the offending line with the following:
$data['html_body'] = $this->parser->parse('fud/post.php',$data,true);
Be aware that smileys will not render correctly (that fix_relative_urls function was there for that purpose).

Thank you! Posting messages now works.

Thx a lot for starting to push Fudforum.
Its a pitty that this nice Software suffers from some minor things ... which can be disturbing I know
But looking even at the well known names its a brilliant software, which runs like a workhorse.
We have now more than 325.000 posts in just 1 of our forums, and its quick and safe.
The key point in my opinion is the visual.
- just the theme used in this forum here is a nightmare
- Css / mobile responsivity is now standard, although I admit that with new mobiles having usually more than 1000px width its already much less critical than it used to be
I´m also not a coder, so no chance to really help you there. What could be an option is to hire a coder from Fiverr for specific tasks, no problem to support this.
Also I might look into a new theme, which is a bit more "friendly" at least in terms of colours and optics
What most people underestimate: With just header, footer and Css and some images the visual impact can change dramatically, without too much effort.

I think most of us would agree if we could get visually optimized for iPhone and Android devices, that would be the biggest gain. Maybe a plug-in could be developed as an interim solution, somthing similar to vBulletin's Mobile Suite?
Everyone pretty much agrees this software runs like a tank. One of the traits that we should never let lapse. The security is top notch and the plug-in functionality is just as good. Getting back-door access to the files and database are a crucial for hosting domains that doesn't allow CLI access. Wonder if we could come up some kind of terminal shell interface through the ACP? Yeah, I'm reaching here.

I think that the best solution would be to have a responsive theme, which is why I am using Pure CSS. Admittedly I am not the best web designer, so it might take me some time to finalize everything. But don't despair, FUDf will look great on mobile too!
P.S. a terminal interface in ACP is definitely feasible, but the problem is that not everyone runs FUDf on Linux or BSD, and I am not sure of whether there is a decent solution for Windows.

The reason is as simple as: I didn't yet update the branch too 3.0.6!
I told you this thing has been in development for a while now...

TheDude wrote on Mon, 23 February 2015 16:56I had decided to try to hire someone to convert my forum to SMF.
I don't have any knowledge in coding but perhaps I can help in user feedback. If I haven't found anyone to convert before.
Good luck on a brave attempt to give new life to a dying script
Dam Dude! I see your already on-board with SMF. Your site rocks with that new forum software. I saw the conversion scripts for Fud on their site. Did you have any issues with the conversion? I'm seriously considering getting off the dying vine myself. I love Fud but the new looks and features of SMF are telling me that grass is greener on the other side.
Cheers!

Some time ago I did set-up SMF on one of my sites, and I admit the experience was not really convincing.
Okay, SMF has many "nice themes" at first glace, but it is quite difficult to work on the themes if you want some more modifications.
Spamming was another big problem, and despite some addons it only stoped when I fully stopped registration option by modifying code.
It was a while ago, but there were many more options which I was missing. Maybe some where added in the meantime.
But for me as well the missing threaded-view feature in SMF is another no-go, and this limitation still seems to be there

The new captcha SMF uses is good, having you put a graphic puzzle together beats the captcha 2 system here on Fud. I'm not so much a fan on theme changes and kind of like SMF vanilla gui themes. I also like the main page setup, especially looking at bartopmania forum. Users can get a feel for what has happened or what is happening on the horizon, a good forecasting view in my opinion. The gallery plug-in is cool, something Fud should have had long time ago.

There is certainly different opinions of appearance. Sorry to say, I really would hate this theme in bartopmania. Fully overloaded. Looks like for kiddies.
But thats up to everyone ... and not a real point, as there is a wide choice of themes in SMF and certainly an (and maybe the only) advantage.
If looking for alternatives I definatly would prefer something like Woltlab, which has the power and also offers both threaded/flat options. Vbulletin, IPB, phpbb3, myBB ... all of them have their pros and cons
But for the moment I enjoy the power, speed and many admin options of Fudforum, and actually I hardly see any open wishes.
Long time ago I had added a coppermine gallery, but for couple of reasons (safty, spamming, legal problems with pics) I stopped.
There is an interesting option with "Elgg", which is a social network software, and for those looking for real interactions between users an interesting option.
But good luck for everyone finding its "best choice", for me its still clearly Fudforum.

OK guys, this is getting quickly off-topic. Anyways let me update this thread a little.
I have become father for the second time, as I mentioned I would, but the little guy decided that it is a good idea to sleep during the day and wake up at around 1 AM. As you might imagine this causes me quite a few problems: I barely have energies to do my daytime job, so development has come to a halt.
I would like to stress, though, that this is not a good-bye, just an hiatus.

Sorry, no timetable, but there is the ROADMAP file that you can check out.
Right now I am refactoring the controllers for better readability and maintainability, and also to implement the missing features regarding messages, threads, etc. (edit, delete, lock, ...you name it).

If you look under Themes you'll see 2 responsive designs which I created and published. I'm running a responsive theme now for quite a while in my forum.
Fudforum 4 is under devlopement by NeXus and may take its time. Anyhow Fudforum 3 is already very mature with most likely more features you'll need, but also some kind of learning curve.
There are not many alternatives in threaded-style forums
