Adding nice website creators or paid forums for auto-install

Post by lookatmego »

Hey i was wondering if its possible to get forums like xenforo or IPboard or vbulletin as auto installers on websites also if it is possible to get some kind of a installer that would make a website like the ones at romancraft.com just the shape and stuff and you could edit images..colors and etc.


Thanks in advance:)

We do have more autoinstallers planned.

That website appears to be custom-designed, so an installer wouldn't be able to readily duplicate it. However, you can install something like wordpress or Drupal and install a custom theme/template to make it look much different than the default.

IPBoard and VBulletin would require licences, so I would assume there would be an additional small fee?

I would imagine if you bought a license from either one of those companies we could use it as an auto installer for the rest of our community. I haven't looked at there TOS so I am not sure they allow that.

Pain, it would likely require entering the license into the control panel during the install, but I'm not sure how the licensing works for either one of these right now (that would need to be investigated).

All of those softwares are licensed.
Whenever you download the software it creates (rar/zip) also an automatic key which is unique is included in the files.

I am not sure if something like this would work in a shared environment. If anything in your own VPS/dedi might work.

Each client has to give NFo their own files because in the config headers their client #'s are listed in.

Basically each vBulletin licensed client has different client #'s inside their vBulletin files.

I am not 100% sure how IPB or XenForo work but I'd guess they are probably similar in order to stop pirated copies.
