XF 2.3 Building my first add-on

[Seeker-Smith]

I want to learn how to build an add-on and install it on Xenforo. I have my test site in development mode with
$config['debug'] = true;
$config['development']['enabled'] = true;

What I'm not seeing in the ACP is any section for Development → Add-ons or import.

Am I missing a key to this puzzle? I'm assuming there must be more to it.

It would be beneficial for you to watch the entire Building with Xenforo 2. Follow along and build what Kier demonstrates in the video. If you have any question, I will help out where I can. This is how I got started last year.

Cool thanks. I didn’t know this existed.

Add ons section is not part of the Developement. I assume that by import you mean the part when you can install add ons? If I assumed correctly you must enter this code to your config.php file.

$config['enableAddOnArchiveInstaller'] = true;

Hi. Yeah that’s already in my config. I’m going the watch that video. I must be missing something else.

There are 17 videos to watch.

It seems my Xenforo is missing XFevelopment, action: AddOns.

The requested page could not be found. (Code: invalid_action, controller: XFevelopment, action: AddOns)

php cmd.php xf-addon:create

Development tools | Developer Documentation | XenForo

Developer documentation for XenForo

xenforo.com

This link will help too

That's because no such page exists

I got it. Addon installed and running. Thanks for the tips.
