xF1 Unmaintained XenForo Connector 1.0

Hi,

Well, this is more copy/paste code than a resource, but the forum is being archived and as I'm getting some emails about the old forumConnector, here it is for everyone to find conveniently.

This is designed to be copied/pasted into a PHP script on your website and requires XenForo to be installed on the same fileserver. If your website and your forums don't use the same subdomain (or more generally if you have cookie issues), be sure to set your $config['cookie']['domain'] and $config['cookie']['path'] (in your forums/library/config.php file).


PHP:
define('XF_ROOT', '/my/path/to/xf'); // set this (absolute path)!
define('TIMENOW', time());
define('SESSION_BYPASS', false); // if true: logged in user info and sessions are not needed

require_once(XF_ROOT . '/library/XenForo/Autoloader.php');

XenForo_Autoloader::getInstance()->setupAutoloader(XF_ROOT . '/library');

XenForo_Application::initialize(XF_ROOT . '/library', XF_ROOT);
XenForo_Application::set('page_start_time', TIMENOW);
XenForo_Application::disablePhpErrorHandler();
XenForo_Application::setDebugMode(false);

if (!SESSION_BYPASS)
{
XenForo_Session::startPublicSession();

$visitor = XenForo_Visitor::getInstance();

if ($visitor->getUserId())
{
$userModel = XenForo_Model::create('XenForo_Model_User');
$userinfo = $userModel->getFullUserById($visitor->getUserId());
}
}

restore_error_handler();
restore_exception_handler();
And here are some useful bits of code

Get the logout URL
PHP:
$visitor = XenForo_Visitor::getInstance(); // this could be moved to the "main" code above, right after the $userinfo initialization

echo XenForo_Link::buildPublicLink("canonical:logout", $userinfo, array('_xfToken' => $visitor['csrf_token_page'], 'redirect' => 'any_url')); //redirect is optional
Get a thread's info and URL
PHP:
$threadModel = XenForo_Model::create('XenForo_Model_Thread');
$thread = $threadModel->getThreadById(ID); // thread info (associative array)

echo XenForo_Link::buildPublicLink('canonical:threads', $thread); // thread URL
echo XenForo_Link::buildPublicLink('canonical:threads/add-reply', $thread); // add reply URL
