some questions before buying

[Hristo Avramov]

1.Can I install locally xenforo on my computer with xaamp without license? I need to test seome things before buying it, yes I know there is demo, but I want to test changing my phpbb3 to xenforo locally.
2.is there discount if I purchase 2 licenses for 2 forums?
3. My phpbb3 urls are like this viewtopic.php?f=7&t=7825
What code should I add in htaccess to make proper redirects?

[Paul B]

$40 currently.

Sorry if I have too many questions
My next one is. Do I pay renewal for addons too Lets say I have xenforo + sportsbook mod, 1 year passes. I renew xenforo, should I pay renewal for the bookmaker mod too?

 

[Paul B]

That depends on the third party add-on license.
You will need to check with the developer.

Third party add-ons are nothing to do with XenForo licensing and costs.

Third party add-ons are nothing to do with XenForo licensing and costs.

Should add that official add-ons made by XenForo Ltd do have their own renewal cost. At this moment the only 2 official add-ons are the Advance Search and The Resource Manager, but are of course optional and not required to use XenForo's forum software.

The renewal fees for those add-ons (should you want or need them) are $15 and $10, per year. You also own those so you don't lose access to them should you decide to not renew or decide to put of renewing at a later time.

I have a lot of phpbb3 bbcodes on my forum. It will take make them again. Does xenforo import the bbcodes too ?
Are they working after that?

 

[Paul B]

No.
You will need to install a custom bb code add-on and recreate them.

I did that after I imported with no issues.

Thank you again.
I noticed that all xenforo forums have the forum description showing only on hover.
Is it possible to have it visible under the forum name, because I include there the links to other sites that I want to be visible.

Yes, this is possible using the Style Properties.

thank you again.
Does xenforo have built in caching system or I have to manually add it somehow?
I read a lot in the last hour. I see I have to add some code in my config.php.
I am using shared hosting on bluehost.

See here: http://xenforo.com/help/cache/

You can use simple file caching on shared hosting.
