Creating my first ever addon

[xpl0iter]

I am trying to create my first ever addon. I need some help.
Here I am going to explain all the stuffs I have done till so far.

Folder Structure:
Library
---WGBB
------dailyCount
-----------Listener.php

Contents of Listener.php

<?php
 
class WGBB_dailyCount_Listener
{
public static function template_hook($hookName, &$contents, array $hookParams, XenForo_Template_Abstract $template)
{
if($hookname == 'ad_above_top_breadcrumb')
{
$contents .= '<li><a href="http://www.webgurubb.com">Our Tab</a></li>';
}
}
}
 
?>

This is my Addon Configuration:

This is my Code Event Listener Configuration:

But this simply is not working, is there anything that I am doing wrong?
Anyhelp will be very much appreciated!

Thanks.

This line:

if($hookname == 'ad_above_top_breadcrumb')

Should be:

if($hookName == 'ad_above_top_breadcrumb')

You have to be pedantic about case sensitivity!

Wt* seriously, this just wasted almost 10 hours of mine!
Thanks mate, thanks you sooo much for pointing it out!

We've all been there

At first glance I couldn't see anything wrong with your code at all, so I just knew it would be something minute like that - and it was.

Good luck with the add-on.

Are you using an IDE?

I would really suggest to use one (netbeans, phpstorm,zend studio,whatever.......)

They'll show/highlight you all the (stupid) code mistakes, which are happening to all of us^^ (it won't even happen because of Autocompletion^^)

e.g here's one undefined and one unused variable (gray variable name and red underwaved)

Yeah great suggestion.

Personally, I've been using Eclipse Juno with the PDT tools add-on.

As Chris said we've all been there. I wasted 2 days with an issue which was with a the way my editor was encoding the file on my PC, code was fine and so was everything. Happens to all of us

Chris are you good with AJAX code ?
Ever done anything with Wordpress ?
(unrelated questions BTW).

 

[Chris D]

I need to be good with AJAX stuff for something I'm working on at the moment

And I've done tiny little customisations pertaining to AJAX for example the Quick Reply preview add-on and a little bit in my Notifications add-on.

Learning way more about Javascript than I ever thought I would!

And no, never done anything with WordPress.

 

[xpl0iter]

And I have created the addon! Will be adding it to the resources soon!

I uploaded the addon to :http://xenforo.com/community/resources/webgurubb-daily-post-count-addon.920/

Its a simple addon for dislaying the daily post count on your forum statistics area on the sidebar. Supports both Default on as well as the BD Widget Framework Forum Statistics!

So thanks for helping me guys, really appreciate it!
