Azareal 30ecdf8d93 Added the forum cache. The rest of the code now uses it instead than firing queries on every request. 
Added the ability for admins to delete forums.
Added the ability for admins to edit forums.
Added the Uncategorised Forum for topics with an ID of 0. Possibly for deleted forums in the future?
Added the uncategorised forum visibility switch.
Creating forums now has an anti-CSRF session check. The same is true with the newly implemented forum deletion and modification features.
Cleaned up some of the error code.

README.md

Grosolo

A super fast forum software written in Go.

The initial code-base was forked from one of my side projects, and converted from the web framework it was using.

Features

Basic Forum Functionality

Custom Pages

Dependencies

Go. 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 install github.com/go-sql-driver/mysql

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.

Run the program

go run errors.go main.go pages.go reply.go routes.go topic.go user.go utils.go forum.go group.go files.go config.go

Alternatively, you could run the run.bat batch file on Windows.
