In this course, TOFF and TROT serve as a practical examples to demonstrate real-world XenForo addon development. While simple in scope, TOFF and TROT cover the essential features of a typical addon: admin options, class extensions, event listeners, and template modifications. It’s not the goal of the course, but a guiding example—helping you apply each concept in a working context as you learn to build robust, well-structured XenForo addons from scratch.
TROT (Reroute and Redirect URLs) is a XenForo plugin for managing and rewriting URLs. It supports rerouting internal paths and 301 redirects, including external links. Ideal for reorganizing content or simplifying URLs (e.g. /resource/list → /resource, /forum/blog → /blog). Some changes may require updates to .htaccess or default.config.
