Has anyone integrated XenForo and Marketo?

Looking to see if anyone has any experience with integrating XenForo community platform with Marketo? And if so what sort of information were you able to share between the two?

It would make more sense if you stated your integration needs, I think. XF is a fully customizable web app: the server code (and thus browser output) can all be changed. Think of it as like a CMS-based website that (hopefully) shares a parent domain with your other web properties (forum.example.com/www.example.com/blog.example.com).

So: what exactly do you want to do? Create Marketo leads when someone signs up to a forum? Track forum browsing with Munchkin? All this is possible, with various levels of custom development.

I like to know more about applying code Munchkin on Xenforo. We are experiencing problems with our implementation whereby we have some latency. Any recommendations are welcome.

Please define what you mean by "latency." Is there a page where I can see Munchkin on your XenForo site?

Initial Page load is fine but once you click button/link, etc.....it hangs.

I'd need to access the site to test this. There may be a deadlock in onbeforeunload events or some other conflict.

As you drilldown from one page to another you will need to append URL with the following - ?styleid=4

Please tell me an exact browser, version and OS on which you're seeing this. Initial analysis on Chrome 52/Win is fine, nothing I'd call hanging. There is always a mandatory delay while logging, but your Munchkin endpoint is responding relatively reasonably (and this is being slowed down by my inspecting proxy):

Thank you. I've asked about browser, version and OS and it seems to be any browser and the latency issue is intermittent. So it is hard to troubleshoot. I am not sure if there are any

known conflicts with browser, version and OS with Munchkin code
known conflicts with plug-ins/scripts/ with Munchkin code
known conflicts with Google Analytics/Google Tags/Wordpress with Munchkin code

If you don't have a repro case, that's really too vague for pro bono work on this.

There are no well-known conflicts with Munchkin. Note the vast majority of Munchkin sites also run GA.

If you believe the problem only exists with click handling (which is synchronous), you can effectively disable click tracking by adding the init option:

Munchkin.init( 'AAA-BBB-CCC', { asyncOnly: true } );

Note this doesn't truly disable click tracking, it just makes it useless because it will miss so many clicks. But it will no longer interfere with page navigation. The real way to disable is to add the class="mchNoDecorate" to your links. But with something like XenForo you may find that difficult.

Does Xenforo have integration docs or is it an API that you decide on?
