You use your own CSS file by setting para.stylesheet_url = "http://url.to/your_style.css". Apart from that, anything can be modified if you're comfortable recompiling the project with Maven.

Yes, to both questions.

1. You can enable HTTPS in the JVM using Spring Boot's configuration properties, or use nginx instead.

2. The Para Web Console is an open source project - simply clone it and use it however you like. It's 100% client-side, so it doesn't really matter if you host it locally or not.

Try upgrading Scoold to 1.31.1. I think I fixed that issue a while back...

EDIT: Custom authentication is now supported by Para and implemented in Scoold Pro.

If your serverside implements OAuth 2.0, LDAP or SAML, then yes. Anything else would require custom authentication code running on the Para backend.

You can, but it requires modification of the source code.

You are right - the schema for SQL databases is pretty simple. I wouldn't say document DBs are preferred over RDMBSs, it's just that Para is a schemaless backend server so the data fits better inside a document DB. In other words Para expects data in any kind of structure.

Yes it does, read the documentation at https://github.com/Erudika/scoold

1. Install Java
2. Get the Scoold JAR file
3. Get the Para JAR file
4. Follow the instructions in the README

You can create private groups, called "spaces" inside of Scoold.

Hi Meg, please read the Para documentation at https://paraio.org/docs

Have you tried this with the latest version 1.28.5? Indeed, there was a parameter bug in previous versions.

Yes, but in the PRO version which is coming out later this year. In the OSS version only basic syntax hightlighting is supported.

Fixed!

Single sign-on with SAML is now supported in Scoold PRO.

Sure, it's a simple, stable and performant database and it's ideal for small-to-medium Scoold deployments. I can't recommend any particular DB because they all have their tradeoffs. Simply use the database engine you are most familiar with. It is also quite easy to implement a DAO plugin for any database you choose, unless it it's already implemented.

For details on how to access the H2 DB in ./data and how to back up/restore it,...

This has been fixed in 1.31.0. Users -> Bulk Edit Spaces

Translations are voted and accepted automatically if they have 5+ votes or reviewed and accepted by an administrator. We'd greatly appreciate translating Scoold. Could you tell me which languages you were traslating?

Yes, Scoold Pro supports file uploads.

SAML passwords cannot be reset from Scoold.
Usually SAML errors are due to incorrect mapping of attributes, similar to this one:

Missing values for SAML attributes 'name', 'FirstName', 'LastName'.

Make sure you set the names of attributes to match your SAML attributes:

# attribute mappings (usually required)
# e.g. urn:oid:0.9.2342.19200300.100.1.1
para.security.saml.attributes.id = ""
# e.g. urn:oid:0.9.2342.19200300.100.1.3
para.security.saml.attributes.email = ""
#...

Hi, the deployment steps for Scoold are:

1. Deploy Para on your machine OR create an account and app on ParaIO.com
2. Create and edit the application.conf file and configure the Para endpoint and credentials
3. Run Scoold with java -jar scoold.war -Dconfig.file=application.conf

Read the Para documentation and the Scoold Readme.

David, that's a cool idea! We should discuss this further via email or on Gitter. You're talking about 2 features here - first is the Slack bot and the second is a Scoold integration with the Slack API.

This will be a premium feature and will be available in Scoold Pro.

This is finally fixed! Please upgrade to 1.31.3

Yes, moderators and admins can move questions between spaces.

What kind of integration are you talking about? If you're talking about authenticating with Microsoft Teams, that's already supported.
