Dear all,
my recreational club (roughly 100 members locally and 30 stationed abroad) is looking into the option to organize future events via a private web platform without relying on Facebook or Google+. None of us are too tech savvy, thus would xenForo and easy to install addons suit our needs? We have set a 500 USD budget to acquire the domain and the software package.
We would require the following global features:
- Private site; without search engine indexing any of the content
- Access is only granted via authorized or invite based registration
- Mobile friendly (iOS, Android & Blackberry) access to all modules
The specific features beside the forum used for discussion and sharing links would be:
- Events management & Calendar
- User group discrimination
Your sincerely,
r

We would require the following global features:
- Private site; without search engine indexing any of the content
- Access is only granted via authorized or invite based registration
- Mobile friendly (iOS, Android & Blackberry) access to all modules
The specific features beside the forum used for discussion and sharing links would be:
- Events management & Calendar
x This would be our most important feature for organizing birthday celebrations, BBQs, wakes retirement, welcoming and departure parties,
x Photo and videos related to the event can be uploaded by attendants
x RSVP
x Travel details (itinerary, accommodation)
x Pledging donation (rarely used, only in cases of hospitalization & death)
x Visibility of the event can be limited during the planning stage (e.g. Surprise parties: the honoree will not be able to see the event details)
- User group discrimination
Beside the usual functions, we are differentiating between local members, members stationed abroad, spouses, children, relatives and retirees. Respectively the user groups are limited to certain content (e.g. We would not want children to see the bachelor/bachelorette party event photos)
- Photo gallery & video libraryx We would like to offer the platform for all members to store their private photos
x We would like to have shared galleries related to events (e.g. all participants at the BBQ can upload their photos & videos)
We are interested in hearing about your experience with xenForo as a community platform and thank you in advance for sharing your expertise.Your sincerely,
