Auto-activated forum based on category slug
The forum system is deeply integrated into Init Manga and is automatically enabled when a category has the following slug:
forumdien-dan
When users visit these categories, the theme switches to “Forum Mode” with a layout optimized for discussions.
Prominent “Create Post” button
On any forum category page, users will see a prominent “Create Post” button in the corner. Clicking it opens a modal that allows users to:
- Enter a post title
- Write post content
Posts are submitted using JavaScript and REST API for a smooth and instant experience — no page reload required.
Optional post approval setting
Admins can enable the “Require post approval” option in the settings panel. When enabled:
- New posts are saved as pending
- They will only be published after admin review
If disabled, posts will be published immediately after submission.
Minimal post list display
Posts in forum categories are displayed using a clean, text-only layout with no thumbnails or excerpts. Each entry focuses on:
- Post title
- Author
- Publish time
This helps keep the discussion area clean and easy to navigate.
Toast notifications and smart reload
All actions — successful submission, errors, or approval notices — are handled with clear toast notifications powered by Init User Engine. Additionally:
- If the post is published immediately → the page reloads to show the new post
- If the post is pending → a notification is shown: “Post submitted, awaiting approval”
Conclusion
With the Forum System, Init Manga v1.2.4 becomes not only a manga reading platform, but also a space for meaningful community interaction. You can enable it simply by creating a category with the correct slug — no extra plugins required. A lightweight, effective, and user-friendly solution for both readers and site admins.
