Thinking of xenForo and dropping Invision Community

[siteturbo]

Hello,

I am thinking of going to xenForo and dropping Invision Community. They are doing major changes in their version 5 update. I only need a good forum, that's it, not all the bells and whistles that come with version 5, which is overpriced. I am looking at xenForo and the forum looks similar and that's really all I need.

Is there a migration tool from Invision Community 4.x to xenForo? Also, is there a way to test out the xenForo software on my server and see if the migration is feasible before I make a purchase?

Thank you!

You can look at the backend through a demo here on the xenforo.com site, but to try it on your own server, you need to purchase a license.

I am in the demo now. I am testing out the API system as our organization uses a lot of backend automation for our members. In the demo I've created API keys giving "All scopes" to my Api key/alias. I'm making the call via PHP and curl to the following URL to get the list of users:

https://5xxxxxxxxx.demo-xenforo.com/xxx/api/users/

However, I'm getting an error that says,

{ "errors": [ { "code": "do_not_have_permission", "message": "You do not have permission to view this page or perform this action.", "params": [] } ] }

So, I'm wondering if API calls can be made on the demo, or am I doing something wrong. Thanks in advance.

The demo supports API calls.

Note that the all users call will only work if the member list is enabled in the options.

You can test the command otherwise adding an ID (e.g. 1) after /users/1 .

Where do I do that? Sorry, I'm new.

I'm getting this same error message, even when simply trying to perform a stats/ call...

{ "errors": [ { "code": "do_not_have_permission", "message": "You do not have permission to view this page or perform this action.", "params": [] } ] }

We can't really provide support in the pre-sales forum.

Suffice to say the API does work - I just tested it again on a demo to confirm.

 

[siteturbo]

I understand. Are there any examples of making calls using PHP and curl? I haven't found any with my initial searches. Maybe I'm missing something obvious.

Never mind. I got it to work. Thanks all.
