XenForo dev/debug and IDE setup with Laragon, Xdebug and VS Code for Windows

Are you struggling to work with XenForo using a remote web server and a simple text editor? Once upon a time, this was the only option for working with PHP unless you wanted to throw money at the problem, but as this video shows, it's now possible to have a full-fledged development environment up and running in just a few minutes, along with a debugger and an intelligent code editor. The process is documented in the XenForo 2 Developer Docs, here: https://xenforo.com/xf2-docs/dev/windows-dev/ This tutorial makes use of Laragon and Visual Studio Code, links to all resources below: Laragon Lite: https://laragon.org/download/ Visual Studio Code: https://code.visualstudio.com/ Xdebug: https://xdebug.org/wizard Xdebug helper: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/xdebug-helper/eadndfjplgieldjbigjakmdgkmoaaaoc?hl=en XenForo requirements script: https://xenforo.com/purchase/requirements-zip XenForo: https://xenforo.com/purchase/
