Until we get our own forum let's talk in here

Right now I'm working on an identity service plugin, figuring it out as I go.

Is anyone else working on something?

Right now I'm just trying to figure out how the programming in XF even works. I normally work with flat files, and I can't figure out how any of the object oriented design in XF actually works. For instance, I just want to see how the forumhome is displayed... but I cant figure it out.

Check out: library\XenForo\ViewPublic\
Then proceed to Forum\ and see List.php (forumhome) and View.php (forumdisplay)
The other folders/files in that directory are all the frontend display controllers from what I can see, it's early days though and I am fairly tired - apologies for any mistakes.

I am trying to figure out how to create my own page, just wanting to start off with a simple mod that allows you to specify a section to grab threads from, and then has a page which displays the latest 5 threads and their first posts.
(basically, it would display news, but I would specify the template).

I understand the Controller System, what I can't figure out is how to add my own pages.

I tried with my own class using the AddOn method, but that just results in an error.

XenForo Test - Error

The controller does not define an action called .

I even added a route prefix, and nothing! :x
I also added an entry into the xf_route_prefix table and still the same problem. I'm sure I'm missing something obvious.

Anyway time for bed and hopefully Kier or Mike will throw out a quick sample mod for adding your own Controllers soon.
I'd be happy even with a

public function actionIndex()
{
 	return $this->responseMessage('Hello World!');
}
