Hi,
I have it clustered (2 nodes), common DB and File System.
Working fine, except that Category and Forum are loaded at application start, and not refreshed automatically on the node that you are not using when administering the forums.
Meaning, you see two different state of the forum index, depending on the cluster node you are connected.
This forces me to restart the application, which is not nice in a production environment.

So, it would be nice to have the Category and Forum list regularly refreshed (or never cached), or an option to refresh it on each node, or a cluster feature that will allow to inform the other nodes to refresh the Category and Forum list.
It could be that other features are concerned, not discovered yet, but I'mm quite new in jForum.

Can somebody include that in a next release ?

Thanks a lot for the detailed answer, we'll probably write a small job to maintain some jForum groups with Active Directory info.
That said, it would be very nice feature to be able to define jForum groups based on LDAP or AD groups.
Perhaps an idea to consider in a future release of jForum.

Hi,

I need to create new forums and restrict them to some users.
The user basis already exists, not yet the groups.
How can I easily populate the new groups, without having to go edit each user individually (we speak of hundreds of users).

I authenticate against Active Directory, but apparently, we cannot use AD (or LDAP) groups in general in the definition of groups.


Any idea welcome!
