[DZ] LinkToTools 1.0.0
Adds an admin-only DZ XenForo Tools link to the XenForo staff bar
Add-on overview
[DZ] LinkToTools is a lightweight administrative XenForo add-on that adds an admin-only shortcut to the staff bar, providing direct access to the DZ Tools system.
This add-on acts purely as a bridge between XenForo ACP and the external DZ Tools environment, without modifying XenForo core files, templates, or internal logic.
It is intended exclusively for administrators.
What this add-on does
- Adds a staff bar link visible only to administrators
- Provides quick access to the DZ Tools dashboard
- Does not modify XenForo core
- Does not collect data
- Does not run cron jobs
- Does not perform automatic actions without administrator consent
DZ Tools installation
This add-on enables linking to the DZ Tools system, which:
- Is installed directly in the forum root directory
- Operates completely independent of XenForo templates and add-on system
- Uses XenForo database and session validation only for administrator access control
Tools location:
Code:
/forum.com/tools/index.php
Installation is manual and fully transparent — administrators always know:
- where files are located
- what is installed
- what actions are performed
Security & access
- Access is restricted to administrators only
- Tools are not exposed via public endpoints
- No XenForo template hooks are used
- No additional APIs are opened
- No data is sent externally
Purpose of DZ Tools
DZ Tools is an internal administrative toolkit designed to simplify XenForo development, deployment, and system monitoring, without manual XML or file editing.
It serves as a centralized developer and administrative control panel.
Current DZ Tools features
Add-on scaffolding- Automatically generates complete XenForo add-on base structures
- Creates:
- addon.json
- required XML files
- hash manifests
- development-ready directories
- Ideal for rapid add-on development
Hash generation- Generates and regenerates secure file hash manifests
- Used for:
- release validation
- integrity checks
- controlled distribution
Release builder- Builds clean production-ready releases
- Directly from development source
- No manual file copying
- No version mismatch risks
XenForo configuration management- Centralized management of selected XenForo configuration values
- No manual editing of config.php
- Safe and controlled changes
Redis monitoring (if enabled)- Detailed Redis runtime statistics:
- memory usage
- hit / miss ratio
- keyspace statistics
- TTL values
- active keys
- Data is fetched on demand only
- No performance impact
Intended use
DZ Tools is intended for:
- XenForo developers
- forum administrators
- advanced maintenance workflows
- internal tooling (not user-facing)
Important note
This add-on:
- does not automatically install DZ Tools
- does not hide any functionality
- exists solely as a secure and transparent entry point
