None at all as stated this is way too soon and it will be awhile. we really do not release beta integrations as there is no support and we have not even got to a point when we can say whether we will definately support the application.

I'm glad that you're working on an integration of Photopost with xenForo Chuck!

Now, once you're done with that, please work on an integration of ReviewPost and we'll be all set to go at TeeVeeTown.com

Chuck S · November 11th, 2010, 07:41 AM

Once an integration is written for one of the products its nothing to port it to the other ones.

Glad to see work begin.
Once I have PP, PP Classifieds and find a CMS and event registration, I can move my vB4 forum over to XF.

With PP I can move my vB3 forum over even quicker. Maybe even pickup another Classifieds license.

sagar · November 11th, 2010, 11:18 AM

I am also waiting in the line to renew my PP and RP. As soon as integration is announced, will be renewing both.

Chuck S · November 11th, 2010, 01:23 PM

Like I said its going to be awhile before any such integration is announced. Right now I only have a very rough first draft of there code.

Don't get me wrong everthing that is good for Photopost I like.

XenForo support is more important than you think. It basically has the potential of becoming the new vBulletin and is actually very popular already, even though it's in beta.

@Chuck S: thanks for working on this, appreciate it

I will be switching fro IPB to Xen. If you get this done, it'd be great to see an import tool from IPB's Gallery system.

Integration means more licenses renewed/sold for PP.

Indeed thats the unique thing about PhotoPost Products which make them popular products web site owners want with the ability to integrate with alot of the more popular forum or CMS products out there. That is our niche.

sagar · November 14th, 2010, 11:22 AM

To Add on this, currently there is absolutely no gallery available for XenForo folks. So the first script that offers integration will have jumpstart like Apple had with ipad or iphone.

Additionally many Xenforo Admins are coming from IPB or VB so they know PP its pros/cons and especially the quality of integration PP offers which is unmatched to any other product. I am sure these folks will jump in as soon as PP integration is available

I'm not sure how many would jump in.
There are those who cry at the thought of spending a dime.
Everything should be free.
Where PP will be important are those who already have PP installed.

Chuck S · November 14th, 2010, 11:36 AM

Reality is things are not free

Its like a hash of the inputted password and some salt key which I can not track down anywhere to get it right.

Chuck, globalsalt is on line 465 in forum/library/XenForo/Application.php. That's in Beta3.

matusman · November 15th, 2010, 06:26 AM

Here is a quote from xenforo thread discussing WP3 bridge.

Quote:

And one more thing about cookies: it seems that globalSalt is unique for every license, so in order to get cookie auth working you should replace globalSalt value in bridge's class_core.php with the value from XenForo's library/XenForo/Application.php

Chuck S · November 15th, 2010, 07:44 AM

Yeah I am gonna have to contact the guy I got a copy from I am only on beta 1 LOL but thanks

As I have stated before lets hope Xenforo guys are working on removing all the hard coded mess in there application.

matusman · November 15th, 2010, 07:48 AM

This guy has done it for his CMS:

Quote:

Contentteller CMS - now integrates with Xenforo

The integration script support the same features like the other integration scripts including shared login, avatar, the ability to use forum threads for comments, and to show the latest threads in the website blocks.

Contentteller version 2.1.5 (2010-10-14)
Details: Contentteller 2.1.5 released

When integrating CMS, it asks xenforo admin to provide unique globalsalt for his license.
