Research

[MasonK]

Hey Everyone,
I just recently released my site pokevolution.net and I am running it on IPB and I feel I made a mistake after researching Xenforo. So I have a few questions with add ons and coding like my homepage can you easily change themes and it will work on that theme and it wont need to be redone, as for IPB I need to do that. Also everything I have on my site would it be possible to do on Xenforo.

Well, you'll need to describe a list of features that your site has to see if they are possible on XenForo. We can definitively say that everything you have on your site would be possible to do on XenForo.

So the features on my site are Awards, News/Blog, Special user info, trading gallery, chat and disqus comments.

Also I'd like to make a wiki type thing in the future for my sit with information on pokemon and walkthroughs where to find this and that,etc would that be possible?

Awards - https://xenforo.com/community/resources/bd-medal.964/

News/Blog - https://xenforo.com/community/resources/better-blogs.1055/

Special user info - Not sure of the specifics of this.

Trading gallery - https://xenforo.com/community/resources/xentrader.245/ , https://xenforo.com/community/resources/xencentral-trading-system.448/

Chat - https://xenforo.com/community/resources/taigachat-pro-realtime-chat-shoutbox.1224/

Disqus comments - not aware of anything that might be good for this

Wiki - https://xenforo.com/community/resources/8wayrun-com-xencarta-wiki-pro.1690/

Those are just some that come to mind. They may not suit your needs. They may not replicate the same thing as on your site. You need to do the research and look into each of those add ons to see if they fit your needs.

VaultWiki is probably better than XenCarta, given Jaxel's (unfortunate) lack of support.

Is there anyway I can get a blog like my site for the main page pokevolution.net?

 

[Jeremy]

There are several methods of getting a portal like front page.

I saw that you can buy second hand licenses what are the ups and downs to this?
Are there any hassles?

To create a portal page out of forum content you can use this add-on:

Obviously we would typically recommend buying a new license but it is possible to buy second hand.

Ensure you verify the authenticity using the validation tool: License Validation

Bear in mind that licenses can only be sold/transferred once from the original owner, so if you pay e.g. $90 for a license, you won't be able to recoup any of that by selling it on again.
