# XenForo
|
|
|
|
## Overview
|
|
[XenForo](https://xenforo.com/) is a popular paid forum. This guide will assume that you already have XenForo installed with a valid license (please keep in mind that XenForo is not free nor open-source, therefore you need to purchase a license first). If you come across any problems related with the installation of XenForo please contact their support service.
|
|
|
|
## Prepare Your Settings
|
|
In your auth project's settings file, do the following:
|
|
- Add `'allianceauth.services.modules.xenforo',` to your `INSTALLED_APPS` list
|
|
- Append the following to your local.py settings file:
|
|
|
|
|
|
# XenForo Configuration
|
|
XENFORO_ENDPOINT = 'example.com/api.php'
|
|
XENFORO_DEFAULT_GROUP = 0
|
|
XENFORO_APIKEY = 'yourapikey'
|
|
|
|
## XenAPI
|
|
|
|
By default XenForo does not support any kind of API, however there is a third-party package called [XenAPI](https://github.com/Contex/XenAPI) which provides a simple REST interface by which we can access XenForo's functions in order to create and edit users.
|
|
|
|
The installation of XenAPI is pretty straight forward. The only thing you need to do is to download the `api.php` from the official repository and upload it in the root folder of your XenForo installation. The final result should look like this:
|
|
*forumswebsite.com/***api.php**
|
|
|
|
Now that XenAPI is installed the only thing left to do is to provide a key.
|
|
|
|
```php
|
|
$restAPI = new RestAPI('REPLACE_THIS_WITH_AN_API_KEY');
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Configuration
|
|
|
|
The settings you created earlier now need to be filled out.
|
|
|
|
`XENFORO_ENDPOINT` is the address to the API you added. No leading `http://`, but be sure to include the `/api.php` at the end.
|
|
|
|
`XENFORO_DEFAULT_GROUP` is the ID of the group in XenForo auth users will be added to. Unfortunately XenAPI **cannot create new groups**, therefore you have to create a group manually and then get its ID.
|
|
|
|
`XENFORO_API_KEY` is the API key value you set earlier.
|
|
|
|
Once these are entered, run migrations and restart Gunicorn and Celery.
