Getting started
Admin location
Under Core: Orravo Core, OForum. Standalone: not supported (Core is required).
Tabs: Dashboard, Rooms, Threads, Moderation, Analytics, Settings. The Moderation tab shows a live count badge of pending reports and posts awaiting approval.
Minimum config
- Create rooms: OForum, Rooms, Add Room. Each room takes a name, slug, icon/emoji, visibility (public, members-only, private), and accent color.
- Link the forum index: the
/forum/page renders the room index. Add it to a navigation menu under Appearance, Menus. - Configure trust thresholds: OForum, Settings, Trust Levels controls how quickly new accounts gain posting privileges.
- Tune the editor: choose between TinyMCE rich text and a markdown toggle in OForum, Settings.
Quick test
- Log in as a subscriber account.
- Visit
/forum/{room-slug}/. - Click New Thread, pick a thread type, write a title and body, and submit.
- Confirm the thread renders and the room counter updates.
