FusionCMS Forum Module v1.0.0

This topic contains the first public release of the FusionCMS Forum Module. The module adds a native forum system directly inside FusionCMS, using the existing FusionCMS account system. Users do not need a separate forum account. Features

• Forum categories
• Optional subcategories
• Topics and replies
• FusionCMS account integration
• Staff / moderator controls
• Sticky topics
• Locked topics
• Move topics between categories
• Edit posts
• Delete topics and replies
• Latest activity on the forum overview and category pages
• BBCode rendering using the FusionCMS BBCode library
• Optional TinyMCE editor
• Topic attachments and downloads
• ACP category management

Admin Panel Integration The module includes ACP management for forum categories. After installation and permissions are assigned, the forum can be managed from:
ACP → Website → Forum
From there you can create and edit categories, configure parent categories, lock categories, allow or disable replies, and mark categories as staff-only for topic creation. Downloads and Attachments The module supports file uploads on topic creation. This makes it useful for:

• AddOn downloads
• Patch files
• Module releases
• Documentation
• Community resources

Uploads are stored in:
writable/uploads/forum
Downloads are served through the forum controller instead of exposing direct public file paths. Installation Basic installation steps:
1. Copy the forum folder to application/modules/forum
2. Import sql/install.sql into your FusionCMS database
3. Create writable/uploads/forum
4. Assign the forum permissions in the ACP
5. Clear the FusionCMS cache
6. Visit /forum and /forum/admin
