Added the EditUser, EditUserEmail, EditUserPassword, EditUserGroup, EditUserGroupSuperMod and EditUserGroupAdmin permissions. Allocations are now tracked in the benchmarks. The topics template is now tracked in the benchmarks. The entire topic, topics, forum and forums routes are now benchmarked. Initial attempts to benchmark the router have begun, I'll probably have a benchmark in a later commit without the fluff so that it's easier to see it's performance impact. Improved the security on some of the moderation routes. SettingLabel is now OptionLabel for easier reuse. Moved one of the inline queries into a prepared statement. Added the initial draft for the new router. Fixed a bug where you lose all of your guest permissions when your session is invalidated. |

README.md
Gosora
A super fast forum software written in Go.
The initial code-base was forked from one of my side projects, but has now gone far beyond that.
Discord Server: https://discord.gg/eyYvtTf
Features
Basic Forum Functionality
Custom Pages
Emojis
In-memory static file, forum and group caches.
A profile system including profile comments and moderation tools for the profile owner.
A template engine which compiles templates down into machine code. Over ten times faster than html/templates.
A plugin system.
Dependencies
Go 1.7. The programming language this program is written in, and the compiler which it requires. You will need to install this. https://golang.org/doc/install
MySQL Database. You will need to setup a MySQL Database somewhere. A MariaDB Database works equally well, and is much faster than MySQL. If you're curious about how to install this, you might want to try the WNMP or XAMPP bundles on Windows. Instructions on how to do so on Linux: https://downloads.mariadb.org/mariadb/repositories/
Installation Instructions
Run the following commands:
go get github.com/go-sql-driver/mysql
go install github.com/go-sql-driver/mysql
go get golang.org/x/crypto/bcrypt
go install golang.org/x/crypto/bcrypt
Tweak the config.go file and put your database details in there. Import data.sql into the same database. Comment out the first line (put /* and */ around it), if you've already made a database, and don't want the script to generate it for you.
Set the password column of your user account in the database to what you want your password to be. The system will encrypt your password when you login for the first time.
Add -u after go get to update those libraries, if you've already got them installed.
Run the program
Linux
cd to the directory / folder the code is in.
go build
./gosora
Windows
Open up cmd.exe
cd to the directory / folder the code is in. E.g. cd /Users/Blah/Documents/gosora
go build
./gosora.exe
Alternatively, you could run the run.bat batch file on Windows.
We're also looking into ways to distribute ready made executables for Windows. While this is not a complicated endeavour, the configuration settings currently get built with the rest of the program for speed, and we will likely have to change this.
With the introduction of the new settings system, we will begin moving some of the less critical settings out of the configuration file, and will likely have a config.xml or config.ini in the future to store the critical settings in.
TO-DO
Oh my, you caught me right at the start of this project. There's nothing to see here yet, asides from the absolute basics. You might want to look again later!
