Seeder - test data generator - Xenforo 2 1.0.0

It is for add-on developers who need a forum with members, dated threads, conversations, resources and the rest to test against. It is not for a live forum.

• The classes your own seeders and factories build on may still change before 1.0. Their namespace will not.
• It has been run beside a few dozen add-ons, not beside yours. Seeder switches off XenForo's own mail, alerts, push notifications, webhooks and moderator log for everything it creates. An add-on that sends something of its own when a member or post is saved is not switched off by that. Try a small run on a forum that cannot reach the outside first.

What it creates

• Members in the states a forum holds them in: valid, awaiting approval, unconfirmed, rejected, banned and bouncing. Also members with a connected account, two-step verification, a passkey or no password, members who have logged in and never posted, and administrators with the administrator record XenForo keeps. Members can register through XenForo's own registration service, so what another add-on does when a member registers happens for them too.
• Members' histories: an IP log of registering, logins and changes to the account, from addresses some members share; changes to their account in XenForo's change log, by themselves and by an administrator; earlier names, with a later request awaiting approval or rejected.
• Permissions: members who hold permissions through a user group made to grant them, and groups with their own permissions on a forum, so members fall into several permission combinations and see different content.
• Forums, threads and replies whose first posts cover the range of BB code, with prefixes, tags, image attachments and reactions. Threads can be sticky, featured, awaiting approval or soft-deleted, and can have a poll with votes - from every member given, where a check needs to know exactly who voted.
• Forums of each type: discussion, article, question and suggestion, with threads of that type. Also search forums that list the threads of the forums they are given.
• A forum tree: categories, forums inside them and forums inside those, with threads in every one.
• Conversations between members, with replies at their own dates.
• Profile posts one member leaves on another's profile, status updates, and comments on both.
• Custom user fields with members' values, user upgrades held, run out and offered for sale (though never buyable), warnings and warning definitions, and API keys.
• Widgets with a title, in any widget position.
• Who is online: tens of thousands of members, guests and robots in seconds.
• Logs with history: the server error log, with recurring faults from page views, commands and jobs; the admin log, with the repeats a real one has; the moderator log, in XenForo's own words, about members' threads, replies and accounts; and the job queue, with weeks of failed jobs and jobs waiting to run.
• XenForo Resource Manager resources with ratings, reviews, featured resources and discussion threads, and XenForo Media Gallery items with real images and comments, where those add-ons are installed. Seeder runs without either.

Content is dated across a span of time you choose, not all at the moment it was made. A run given a seed produces the same names and text again.
