Add-on tutorial?

[Tott3]

Hope this is the right place for this.

Are there any add-on tutorial that are up-to-date? To get one started on how to develop Xenforo add-ons.

I found one that looked pretty decent. However, it seems a bit outdated and I got stuck somewhere along the way as some functions/buttons were missing or not in the same place on my installations. In his video he's checking version 1.1.1 I believe and that's quite far a part from 1.5.1 as I'm using.

This is the one I've found: https://xenforo.com/community/resources/screencast-creating-xenforo-add-on.694/

I got stuck on the "linking" part at 1:25 in the video, part one. I don't got that drop-down menu that he's using.

Oh, I'd be interested in that as well. I really need to do some forum changes that would be best done as an add-on. I have some custom login things which I have to apply every upgrade.

It's still up-to-date, just make sure of these things:

1. Debug mode is enabled.
2. You have already created your add-on.
3. You are creating the template in the master style.

If all these is done then you should see a drop down list under the large text box on creating a template with your add-on in the list.

I managed to find it somehow I shall have a second look at it then!

Well, I got stuck again as it doesn't find my eventListener for some reason. I'm getting "Callback Laddad_Demo_Index::LaddadDemo is invalid (Invalid Class)."

Here's my PHP code, which is saved inside of "/public_html/laddad_net/dev/library/Laddad/Demo"

Here's my index.php files which is saved inside of the "Demo" folder.

<?php 

class Laddad_Demo_Index{
    public static function LaddadDemo($hookName, &$contents, array $hookParams, XenForo_Template_Abstract $template){

    }
}

From the first sight I see you have different file name, it should be Index.php not index.php as written in the class name, haven't looked at the code but that should be the main problem.
