Some Pre-Sale Questions :)

[Dekka]

Hey,

I have a few Pre-Sale questions I really need answered before I move on to buying xenForo (im still tossing up whether i want a community).

PLEASE NOTE: ive had a look around for these answers

Here are my questions:

-Is xenPorta free; How do i install it?
-Where and how do i install plugins (eg: Infractions, shoutbox)
-How to get a staff banner on xenforo (Like this:

But goes across the whole thing and says ‘staff’.
-Prefixes, where and how?

Thanks in advance,
Dekka

Have you checked out the demo for xenForo yet? Most of the things you're looking for are free or are core of the product.

For example, infractions are called warnings in xenForo and are in the core so are prefixes. xenPorta is free and can be easily installed by simply uploading files and applying the .xml file.

Check this page out for more info on xenPorta and how to install it.

For the ribbon like feature, there is actually a resource on that as well, and it's free. I just can't find it :'(

I believe you can install any addons but it stays there for only 3 days.

Have you tried ordering one from here: http://xenforo.com/demo/ ?

1. The demo isn't working, and has been confirmed by Jake.
2. You can't install styles or add-ons on XenForo demo.

Several times, it says 'loading your demo, please wait' but nothing happens.

The demo is currently having problems. We are working to fix it. In the meantime one of our forum members, Harry Fox, has been nice enough to setup private demos for people who are interested:

Prefixes can be set up via the admincp to display in whatever forum you choose. infact, I recently played around again with the prefixes by using extra.css to style them. when you create your prefixes you can specify your own id which makes styling each individual prefix an effortless task.

Also, there is another resource regarding your ribbon query which I posted here http://xenforo.com/community/resources/double-ribbon-ranks.841/

If your looking for an alternative design that is.

To be honest, you won't have much luck unless you post a request in here - http://xenforo.com/community/forums/custom-service-development-requests.69/ which requires you to be licensed.

Not too good with logos myself, so would be a bit hard.

Can any staff member please be so kind to send me a link for the demo? Really want to give this software a fair try because I`m doubting now what to chose.. vBulletin5 or XenForo
Thank you in advance

Do you understand the legal problems this company is facing? It would be wise to wait until those matters are more clear before investing your money.
