Brilliant - thank you. I had pretty much worked out that it was something along those lines. Still love the whole Xenforo thing!

Hi all, I've got a script that will run through my old forum and import the users, with their passwords (luckily for me, the old database had a plain-text copy). I've tested it and it works nicely, but can anyone tell me what data should go in the member_key field of the xf_user_authenticate...

Thanks again Jake, Will I find the details for that in the import area?

Hi, Thanks Jake, that is what I'm after. I'll investigate shortly...

Is the above explanation for an older version of the encoding? I need to do a similar thing, but my data field looks like: I have inherited a forum that gives me a (amongst other stuff) a list of user info with plain text password - bizarrely. Does th info in my post above have 2 different...

Thanks Jake, I've been busy at the coal-face. Loving xenforo, but I apologise for hacking an AJAX script into to to give me the dynamic pages I needed... ... I think I could have done it with a callback, but couldn't manage it as smoothly as I wanted. (I'll leave that for another thread)

Hi all, I have searched for this, but not found anything too helpful. I (finally) have sn SQL table of user information from an old proprietry forum that I need to import. It is not a VBB or PHPBB format. It does have loads of similar fields. I'm trying really hard not to hack into the...

My bad - just a bit more searching would have given me the answer: My 'if' statement needs to be quoted: <xen:if is="{$requestPaths.requestUri} == '/index.php?pages/homepage/'"> is working for me. Next question: where do I find a list of the variables available to me?

Hi All, I just can't get this to work - I want to do something based on the current url. So far I have: <xen:if is={$requestPaths.requestUri} == '/index.php?pages/homepage/'> My HTML </xen:if> When I go to save the template, I get an error...

Very cool. Thanks for the reply.

Found an answer: I've added the line below to my template (I used the navigation block, but I don't think it matters where this goes in).

What about if we need to move to a different server? Does the same simplicity apply - obviously I can update the config.php with new database details.

Hi all, So my brand new XF installation is going great. I love it. Unfortunately (for me) I really need to have some dynamic content in a page node. This page is to become the main homepage when people get to the site. I appreciate that php includes or content are not an option within the...

Hi again, Thanks for all the replies - I'm so impressed at the help available - and perhaps most importantly the atmosphere. I'm in! - just a whole lot of work to do now... Carlos - yup, I'd found that, but really I just wanted to post a link to the video, incase my answer came up in...

Fab, My main other question was regarding php in page modes, but I see there are a couple of Vimeo videos covering that, so I'll head there. (the vimeo videos start at vimeo.com and search for 'xenforo php page node' or go to video the vimeo 16239304, in case anyone finds this post in their...
