Can I link xenforo to my current website's accounts or embed it?

[idontwanttomakeanaccount]

I already have a website with accounts and would like to add a forum, but have a few questions about features / setup that I need answered before paying a lot of money for xenforo.

1. Can I add a custom signup method such as oauth that would require users to have an account on the main website?

2. Can I embed my xenforo forum onto my main website, with an iframe or otherwise?

1 - Yes with custom development

2 - Typically you would just install XF in a sub domain (forum.domain.com) or sub directory (domain.com/forum) - I wouldn't recommend embedding it in an iframe as it's unlikely to work correctly.

2) is not needed as you can style the forum to match your website seamlessly.

Some parts of my website change depending on if you're logged in and other small bits of info, the html is generated on the fly, so I do not think that would work for me. But if I can't integrate it with my current accounts there wouldn't be a point anyway.

You can custom develop a bridge between the two accounts.

You can also show HTML widgets to logged in users only.
