Question before purchasing

[Andrew12]

Is it possible to run one copy locally with xampp to play around while one copy is running on a server for the public?

And which wiki system would you recommend to use in combination with xenforo? I really would like a wiki with some good wysiwyg editing. But i guess there is no possbility to integrate wysiwyg editor from xenforo in a wiki system so that both use the same?


And another Question: if i want to upgrade the forum in 5 years, is it enough to buy the 40 $ 12 month support or do i have to repurchase the whole licence?

Yes, you are permitted a test installation.

There are a few wiki add-ons I believe - you can search for them here: Resources

Thanks for the fast answer. I have seen the Addons already but i would like to stick with an external wiki software. But i am not sure which one is the best to combine with xenforo.

There's a bridge for MediaWiki (third party) and an integration by the developers of VaultWiki for VaultWiki which is brand new and only been available for a few days.

It will all depend on what your favourite Wiki platform is

You only pay for the support.

I am not sure if I understand that right: If i buy now xenforo 1.1 i will have to pay again 140$ if 1.2 comes out?

 

[Jeremy]

No. You receive 1 year of support + updates. Once your year is up, you have access to the latest version released and everything before that at that moment. You can continue to use that version. However, I believe you don't receive ticket support either.

Paying $40 past that first year gives you updates + support.

Thanks for the quick repyl. I'll get the access when the money has arrived at your bank account and not before right?

One last question I forgot to ask: I am currently using smf as software and a plugin to make seo friendly urls. (which quite differs from the one from vbseo in its structure); so my question: is there a possibility (beside manual redirect via htaccess) to obtain the old url structure?

Here an example url: http://bot-area.net/forum/diablo-3-bots/tntd3-bot/

Edit: The smf plugin is called "pretty urls"

Edit: if there is no possibility what would be an efficent way to redirect all my urls? Because this a major issue for me because i get pretty heavy traffic from search engines and it will take months to rank new urls...

1.2 includes a route filter function which may be what you want: http://xenforo.com/community/threads/route-filters.47946/

Well that is exactly what i am looking for. Fantastic. I havent follow all the 1.2 annoucements but is there a rough timeplan when it ships? Few days? Few weeks or months? Because then it would make more sense to wait for 1.2 release for me.

 

[Paul B]

Hard to say, public beta could be any time within the next few days, weeks or months.
