This add-on allows creating any number of custom PHP pages with or without the XF layout.
A custom page has access to the XF engine's functions, including sessions and permissions.

All custom pages are their own PHP script with individual configuration; PHP knowledge is required.
A custom page script can be above, below or within the XF install folder, no restrictions.

You can optionally configure any of the following items on a per-page basis:
  • The custom <head> tag items on top of XenForo's defaults (presumably from an external script)
  • The custom page title
  • The custom page content
  • Whether or not to wrap above content in the XenForo layout
  • Whether or not to include XF's social meta tags for social media content previews
  • Whether or not to show breadcrumbs, and what breadcrumbs to show
Installation Instructions
  1. Install the add-on zip file (this is an add-on package without extra files)
  2. Make a copy of sample.php script and name it whatever you want
  3. Point the script's XF constant value to your XenForo install folder; the default is DIR
  4. Set the $head and/or $content variables
  5. Adjust the \ScriptsPages\Setup::set parameters (below), and installation is complete
Sample (sample.php)
PHP:
<?php

// Set PHP Reporting
error_reporting(E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE);

define('__XF__', __DIR__); // EDIT VALUE IF SCRIPT IS NOT IN XF FOLDER
require __XF__ . '/src/XF.php';

XF::start(__XF__);
\ScriptsPages\Setup::set('init', true);

$app = \XF::setupApp('XF\Pub\App');
$app->start();
$request = $app->request();

// EDIT BELOW to set the page's $head and/or $content; the code below is a sample

/** ob_start();
require_once __DIR__ . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . pathinfo(__FILE__, PATHINFO_FILENAME) . "-head.php";
$head = ob_get_contents();
ob_end_clean(); **/

/** ob_start();
require_once __DIR__ . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . pathinfo(__FILE__, PATHINFO_FILENAME) . "-content.php";
$content = ob_get_contents();
ob_end_clean();  */

// EDIT BELOW TO CONFIGURE

\ScriptsPages\Setup::set([
    'breadcrumbs' => ['Item 1' => '/1', 'Item 2' => '/2', 'Item 3' => '/3'],
    'head' => $head,
    'content' => $content
]);

// STOP HERE

$app->run()->send($request);

Parameters
PHP:
[
    'navigation_id' => null, // the navigation tab to highlight
    'head' => null, // code to embed inside the <head> tag
    'metadata' => true, // include social media meta tags like 'og:*' for social media previews
    'title' => null, // the page title; if null, falls back to board title
    'breadcrumbs' => true, // true to include breadcrumbs, false to not, or an array of [name => href, ...]
    'content' => null, // the page content; this is required
    'raw' => false // whether or not to remove the XenForo layout
]

How to set parameters externally

To set any parameter above from an external script, define the PHP constant SCRIPT_PAGE_{KEY} prior to loading XenForo, i.e.

PHP:
define('SCRIPT_PAGE_CONTENT', '<b>Hello world</b>');

Disclosure: This add-on is fully functional and is receiving updates if/when it is broken by a core XF update only; there are otherwise no updates and there is no support.

Been using this add-on for XenForo since its' first release in early 2019. I have also used a similar functioning add-on this same developer created for vB4 in years prior. This add-on works great and easily allows you to add custom php pages to your forum.
