Intro

Laravel + XenForo ecosystem (LXF)​

The old version of Romhack Plaza ran on two pieces of software:

  • WordPress: For the entire “main site” section (posts, reviews, publications, users, etc.)
  • XenForo: Running somewhat separately, it served as the forums and comments section

The new version of the site (2.0) also runs on two software platforms, Laravel and XenForo, but the two work in tandem. One depends on the other.

  • Laravel handles posts, reviews, and tools.
  • XenForo manages all users, the forum, authentication, clubs, the comments section, tutorials, and all other features already included in XenForo.

The Laravel/XenForo (LXF) ecosystem allows us to take advantage of the strengths of both platforms.
