Bridge over multiple Forums with xenForo?

[FSAviator]

Hi!

I'm currently searching for a modern and state of the art forums software to equip my both forums with it. Both forums are in the same main topic but with different subtopics. So it stands to reason to link both user databases so it's possible for the user to use both forums with only one login. Is this possible with xenForo or will it be possible in the future?

My second question: One of the forums runs with WBB2 and the other with WBB4. Is it possible to convert both forums into xenForo most possible easily?

Thank You for Your help!

Kindly Regards,

Sascha

I believe there is a third party add-on which links multiple forums.
Be aware though you will require a XenForo license for each one if they appear as different forums.

There is no direct import path from WBB so you would need to go via IB, vB or phpBB.

Thank You for the veeeeery quick reply!

It is no problem to buy two licenses... Okay... I have to need a bit time to safe my money for that... But.. It's okay with me to do that so!

Is this third-party add-on already available or still in development?

Regards, Sascha

I'm trying to do the exact same thing.. I think @Waindigo has a resource that will help achieve this? https://xenforo.com/community/resources/single-sign-on-master-by-waindigo.2210/
Although I admit I've never been able to get it to work on my installations.. Meh one of these days I will have to dig further into that issue. I'm almost certain the problem is local to my installations and has nothing to do with the resources.
