[OzzModz] Dev Tools: Addon Create
A fast, streamlined CLI tool for XenForo developers to quickly create and install new add-ons — complete with a fully populated addon.json, optional Setup.php, and no Admin CP steps required!
Core Features
- Instant Add-on Creation: Easily create new XF add-ons directly from the command line.
- Full addon.json Generation: Automatically includes all standard fields like title, description, version, dev info, URLs, requirements, and more.
- Auto Version String Inference: Enter a version ID and the version string is inferred automatically for you.
- XF1 Legacy Add-on Support: Optionally link your new add-on to a XenForo 1.x legacy add-on ID.
- Setup.php Generator: Quickly generate a full Setup file using StepRunner traits with a simple "yes/no" confirmation.
- No Admin CP Sync Needed: Automatically hashes and syncs addon.json to avoid "Sync Changes" prompts.
- Pre-filled Developer Information: Pulls your developer name, URLs, icons, and extra links from XenForo options automatically.
- Optional Add-on Description Field: Now prompts you to enter a description for your add-on during creation.
How It Works
Simply run:
Code:
php cmd.php ozzmodz:addon-create
Follow the guided prompts to:
- Enter Add-on ID
- Enter Title
- Enter Description (optional)
- Enter Version ID (auto-converts to version string)
- Whether it supersedes an XF1 add-on
- Whether to create a Setup.php file
Your add-on will be created, installed, and ready to develop immediately!
Perfect For
