XF 1.0 Creating a Simple Modification

By exposing code events and allowing listeners to attach to them, XenForo makes it easy to alter its default functionality with simple callback classes.

The API for doing this is well-defined and documented, so modifications made in this way stand a very good chance of remaining backward compatible through future version updates.

This video shows me creating a simple add-on that allows us to see how an existing thread would look with over a thousand pages.

IT'S OVER 9000!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111

Still waiting for the initial 10k

Mosh, you will want to enter that line but instead of 1 you put true like so:

$config['debug'] = 'true';

$config['debug'] = true;

 

[Miko]

Mosh, you will want to enter that line but instead of 1 you put true like so:

$config['debug'] = 'true';

Steve using the one it's also perfectly correct

$config['debug'] = '1';

 

[Kier]

You should use 1 or true, but neither should be quoted really.

 

[feldon30]

Yeah TRUE has a specific value and meaning. 'true' is a string of text.

The debug code is basically looking for 'not empty'.

Where is the option to create new mod? there's only 'Install'.

 

[CyberAP]

Where is the option to create new mod? there's only 'Install'.

Open /library/config.php and add $config['debug'] = true;

The most webdeveloper forum system that i've ever met.
Thank you a lot.
XenForo is defensibly the most powerful Bulletin Board that i will ever found.

 

[dutchbb]

Open /library/config.php and add $config['debug'] = true;

I can't paste anything in that file?

Writing is possible, very strange.

 

[Ezeh]

Looks awesome!

What file editor are you using?

 

[Preemo]

Sometimes I wish I was good at coding so I'd understand these things! I'm sure it's a brilliant feature though!

 

[mmoore5553]

Thank you for this tutorial as I used it to make an add on that works with external php file.

 

[HkDng]

let me try ...

 

[Rob]

You should use 1 or true, but neither should be quoted really.

If you want to be a rebel you can use = !false

 

[simbolo]

Steve using the one it's also perfectly correct

$config['debug'] = '1';

As long as it evaluates to true it will work.
