Intrigued by this software

[Torrecus]

Hello

I've heard recently of this software and I'm intrigued about it. Maybe you could help:

1 I understand that currently there isn't any converter/importer for MyBB system, is it? Is there some planning about this?

2 I'd like to see production forums using this software, do you have some examples?

Thanks a lot

Your best bet currently would be to import via vB using Impex.

There are plenty of large forums here: http://xenforo.com/community/threads/big-bigger-biggest-xf-forums.15638/

Thanks a lot Brogan

It looks that all the XF forums use the same skeleton. Are there any themes slightly different?

The only ones that are different from the default XenForo look are generally premium styles.

Thanks a lot to both

When I say the same skeleton, I mean something like this:

and the premium themes at Xenique's follow the same idea.
Is there some theme slightly different? Let's say something like this (classic):

Is there another site with premium themes?​

Also, does XF include a portal? or a main page?​

 

[Paul B]

You can achieve that with template edits.

There is no portal in the core but there are some add-ons.

I use a XenForo Page as the home page on my site: http://cliptheapex.com/

I've already have a style planned that follows the classic listing.

Thanks to all, I have now a more clear pov

One last question: Where from can Impex be dowloaded?

 

[Paul B]

You need a vB license to download Impex.

Or you can get a 3rd party to do the import for you.

Ok, thanks.

Ok, thanks a lot to all you for your comments.

I'm ready to buy, but I have one last, kinda stupid, question:

When I register mi name and email as a customer, a new account for the community forums will be created? or can I access with my current user?

You just have to link your forum account to your customer account.

I'm reasonably sure you give the email address when buying the software, and if it is the same email address that is associated with your account, you will be all set. Otherwise you would need to send a ticket to link your xf user account to your license.

Buying the software does not create a user on xf.com.

Ok, thanks a lot.

Use XenPorta - http://xenforo.com/community/threads/8wayrun-com-xenporta-portal.7586/
Demo: 8wayrun.com
Extra XenPorta modules - http://xenforo.com/community/threads/8wayrun-com-xenporta-module-add-ons.7611/

 

[Torrecus]

Thanks a lot Doctor, I'd do it for sure.

Sorry to hear that, I will give Mikey a poke.
