This is my original site http://www.wickedstangs.com
going to try and move everything to http://www.wickedstangs.net (New Server)

Need to Import it and How to?
Can someone lead me in the right directions please.

Things, I like to have:
  • Top Banner across the top
  • Events Calendar with RSVP
  • Photo Gallery
  • Chatbox
  • Portal
  • Advertisement locations (Must Have)
  • Shopping Cart for a couple of items
Here are some ideas and site that helped with my plunge:) thanks..

Reasons for the move. I was checking out all the Xenforo forums and love the look of it.. But, most importantly is speed.

Thanks Everyone

thanks everyone.. One thing.. I just installed it and no where does it say to remove the install script? Do I remove the complete Install Folder or just the install/index.php ????

An install lock file is created after installation to prevent inadvertent re-installs...so nothing needs removing :)
 
wow, that is cool, thanks very much..

Another question for the Importer do I have to download my entire forum? Or just run Paul's script?
 
Congrats on your purchase Wickedstangs! Best of luck with the conversion and most of all.... have fun playing with your new xenforo!!! :D

Dude don't remove anything, you'll start to see some advantages to that the first time when you upgrade and your board automatically shuts/opens for you :)

Welcome to xenForo.
 
Another question I just did the importer, lets say I finish the look of the site in a week or so, can I use the importer again before launching the new site?
 
Yeah, do NOT import more than once! I learned the hard way. If you import more than once it will bring in posts/forums/etc. over and over. Your post counts will be WAY off!
