Unmaintained CustomPages by HeadHodge 1.0

I do volunteer database mgmt. and custom coding for The Kavaforums, a worthy non-profit organization.

During the course of my work, I developed a file tool that I use to make my job a little easier. I call it 'FileTool' (original isn't it?).

The work I needed to do required me to learn how to work with the Xenforo framework. To help me learn, I developed a little test program that I use to experiment XF concepts. I call it 'Hello'. It's my rendition of the veritable time-honored hello program.

I had such a long learning curve with Xenforo, I thought I would share my code with the hopes that it may help others using the Xenforo framework.

Administrators may find this useful as a remote file tool. Developers and others may find this useful as a working example that demonstrates a variety of techniques I use to interface with the Xenforo framework.

I include my 'Hello' page for those who may be interested in a bare bones example of a CustomPage with a xf style overlay using Ajax/Json.
