Introduction to XenForo WebSockets​

WebSockets is a protocol designed to exchange information in real time. With it, we can notify users about any events on the forum: alerts, messages, reactions, and so on.

This add-on allows developers to conveniently use this protocol in XenForo.
This means that by configuring this add-on once, other add-ons will be able to use its capabilities without the need for a separate websockets configuration.

#Requirements​

  • PHP 7.4 or newer
  • XenForo 2.2.0 or newer
If you are going to run your own websocket server:
  • Python 3.x
  • GIT
  • The gcc compiler and the dependencies for build
  • NPM
  • Node.js LTS (14.x, 16.x, 18.x, so on)

#Installation​

  1. Install the add-on by first uploading the files to the server or using the "Install from archive" function in the control panel.
  2. Set up a websocket server.
