Thank you i will take a look at those
once i figure out this part i should be able to make make fully functional plugins for this amazing software

i'm on the right lines now so how would i write a controller so it connects to an admin cp page?
for example admin.php?fait

The Controller goes into the Admin/Controller Folder inside your AddOn Directory.
Then you need to add Admin Routes in the AdminCP in the Developer Section.

/admin.php?routes/#admin

Just grap any existing route which fits most to your needs, and create your own likewise.
It works the same like for public routes.

i'm honestly new to controllers i've made a few profile add ons about it

i've tried this but still no luck<?php

namespace XF\Admin\Controller;

class Fait extends AbstractController
{


public function actionExample()
{
$hello = 'Hello';
$world = 'world!';

$viewParams = [
'hello' => $hello,
'world' => $world
];
return $this->view('Admin:fait', 'member_view', $viewParams);
}




}
?>

Then start with this:

xenforo.com

member_view is an existing template, you need to add the needed viewParams to that. And, of course, member_view is a public template, not an admin template.

Mybe just build the demo portal AddOn with this guide, this is also a good startig point:

After that consider readinf the "new to developers" Threads in the have you seen Forum.

thank you loads for your help i highly appreciate it
i managed to make a test page through the templating system by using the controller so i think i should be able to figure the rest out now

 

[Fait]

i've also learnt that this code can directly load a template from anything so as i'm going a long things is getting easier in working with this softeware as i'm trying to add on to things to make a unique site

$template = \XF::app()->templater()->renderTemplate('public:template',$testing);
