| Question | How does Composr handle user authentication with external systems like LDAP or HTTP authentication? |
|---|---|
| Answer | Composr can integrate with LDAP and HTTP authentication, but these features are considered complex and may require programming experience to set up correctly. Both methods allow users to log in to Composr using their existing credentials from the external system, streamlining access and management. |
| Question | What are the limitations of using a third-party forum driver? |
|---|---|
| Answer | Using a third-party forum driver can lead to limitations. Custom profile fields of type LONG_TEXT are limited to TEXT length, cookie integration is not officially supported and can be complex, and some forum drivers have specific quirks detailed in the nuances tutorial. |
| Question | What are the implications of using the "none-forum" driver? |
|---|---|
| Answer | Using the "none-forum" driver disables or limits many Composr features, including commenting, points, and user interactions. Consider using Conversr instead and restricting access to the forum zone, join module, and personal zone. |
| Question | How can I integrate my forum visually into my website? |
|---|---|
| Answer | Composr allows you to integrate your forum visually into your website. Enable "Show forum within website" in the Admin Zone configuration module and update the forum link in your menu to pass through the "forums" embedding module. You may need to adjust CSS to achieve a seamless look. |
| Question | How do I set up the forum base URL correctly? |
|---|---|
| Answer | The forum base URL should be a URL prefix to your forums without a script name. For example, http://forums.example.com is correct, while http://forums.example.com/index.php is incorrect. You can fix this using the config_editor.php script and then clear the Comcode page cache. |
| Question | How do comment topics work? |
|---|---|
| Answer | Most Composr resources with commenting enabled create comment topics in the configured comment forum. If the forum uses BBCode, Comcode features not supported by BBCode may not display correctly. Moderate comments from the forum as you would any other topic. |
| Question | Can I switch forums after installing Composr? |
|---|---|
| Answer | It's not easy to switch forums after installing Composr. The member and usergroup IDs referenced by Composr would lose their association. Check the "Importing data into Composr" tutorial for more information on this. |
| Question | What is Conversr and why is it recommended? |
|---|---|
| Answer | Conversr is Composr's built-in forum system. It offers seamless integration, allowing you to use Comcode for forum posts, a unified Admin Zone, shared themes and templates, and innovative features like Private Topics and in-post whispers. Using a third-party forum can be clunky and may lead to maintenance headaches. |
| Question | What forum drivers does Composr support? |
|---|---|
| Answer | Composr supports several forum drivers, including Invision Board, phpBB, myBB, vBulletin, Burning Board, and Simple Machine Forum. If your forum is not listed, professional developers can add support. Composr also provides converters for migrating from these forums to its own forum system, Conversr. |
| Question | What are the web server requirements for running Composr? |
|---|---|
| Answer | Composr is compatible with Apache and IIS servers. For Apache:
For IIS:

| Short Description | Super Tilted is a team of pinball enthusiasts who develop original digital pinball tables for the Visual Pinball X platform. This website showcases their releases and ongoing (public) projects. All tables are free to download. And people can request to join the team. This site has some secret sauce behind the scenes: a custom block for Scorbit leader-boards (pinball scores), and some webhooks to alert the team in their Discord of certain site activity. It also takes advantage of the Support Tickets e-mail integration and using zones for "sub-sites" for each released pinball table. |
| Question | Can I move a Wiki+ page? |
|---|---|
| Answer | Technically, Wiki+ pages cannot be moved because they don't have a fixed location within the network structure. Creating child links forms a path, not a strict hierarchy. However, you can manipulate the breadcrumbs by ensuring only one path leads to a page. |
| Question | Can I track changes made to Wiki+ pages? |
|---|---|
| Answer | Yes, Wiki+ includes a revision history feature accessible through the page edit screen. This feature allows you to view a log of edits, see changes highlighted in tooltips, and revert to previous versions of a page as needed. |
| Question | How can I view the complete tree structure of my Wiki+? |
|---|---|
| Answer | You can access a view of the complete Wiki+ tree structure through the designated option in the admin panel. However, it's important to note that this view will reflect guest access permissions. Some pages may be hidden if they are restricted to specific user groups. |
| Question | What moderation tools are available in Wiki+? |
|---|---|
| Answer | Wiki+ offers several features to help you moderate user contributions and maintain the quality of information:
