Hello,
I am excited to start using this software. My sites forum is located at
http://www.tgldirect.com/forum/
I just installed Xenforo last night. So far I am loving it. I picked it over vBulletin 5. (I hope my pick was right)
So first question
I have my install in/ forum
and I get
/forum/forums
Is it possible to remove the /forums?
I look at this but what if I do not want to move my install directory?
http://xenforo.com/community/threads/how-to-remove-the-extra-forum-forums-my-forum-url.43664/
Second question.
You can see my site is a retail site. My vision is on a product page to have a discussion tab. I want a few things here.
My Goal: I have a category called "Products" which I may keep invisible. And I want to put threads in there with the item product titles. This will be where the customers come to discuss about the items. Kind of like comments. but a discussion and handled by xenforo. This will show in the discussion tab.
How I would like to accomplish this.
1. Make this an addon/mod So I can upgrade to the next version.
2. Create a table linking product skus to the product discussion thread. Also related threads. So every product will have a thread in our forum. And it could also have x number of related threads.
Then on the retail site end. I will use the api to grab the product thread and related posts.
If someone could show me how to get started in making a plugin. That would be helpful.
Thanks
Mark
