Hello XenForo Community,
I am a beginner in the world of XenForo add-on development, and I'm very eager to learn and practice to become proficient in this field. I'm currently using XenForo 2.3.2 on a Linux server, and my development machine runs Windows 11.
At the moment, I would greatly appreciate your guidance in creating a simple add-on. My goal is to develop an add-on that greets users with a message when they log in to the forum, something like this:
I'm kindly asking for detailed instructions on the following:
1. Setting Up the Development Environment:
- How can I properly configure my development environment on Windows?
- What tools are essential to start coding add-ons for XenForo?
- What are the steps to connect the development environment to my XenForo installation?
2. Latest Resources or Documentation:
- Are there any recent guides or resources on the internet that I can refer to?
- Any tips or valuable experiences for a beginner starting with XenForo add-on development?
3. Step-by-Step Add-on Creation:
- How do I create the basic folder structure for the add-on?
- Writing the code to implement the greeting message for users upon login.
- Testing and deploying the add-on on my XenForo installation.
I understand that developing an add-on might be complex for a beginner, but I am truly committed to learning and am willing to invest the time and effort to improve my skills. If anyone in the community could assist, I would be immensely grateful.
Once again, I sincerely thank you all for taking the time to read my post and for any support you can provide. I'm looking forward to hearing from you!
Wishing you all a wonderful day!
Best regards,
