Examples

You can test all of these in any site that uses xenforo. Example url: https://xenforo.com/community/forums/announcements/

• Single selector

$schema = [
    'forum-title' => '.p-body-header .p-title-value' 
];

• Loop selector

$schema = [
    'threads' => [
        'list-selector' => '.structItem--thread',
        'content' => [
            'thread-title' => '.structItem-title',
            'thread-url' => '.structItem-title a@href',
            'last-update-date' => '.structItem-latestDate',
        ]
    ]
];

• New Request

$schema = [
    'login-page' => [
        'request-selector' => 'a.p-navgroup-link--logIn@href',
        'base-url' => 'https://xenforo.com',
        'content' => [
            'title' => 'title',
        ],
    ],
];

• You can combine them :)

$schema = [
    'title' => 'title',
    'threads' => [
        'list-selector' => '.structItem--thread',
        'content' => [
            'thread-detail' => [
                'request-selector' => '.structItem-title a@href',
                'base-url' => 'https://xenforo.com',
                'content' => [
                    'thread-content' => '.message-body .bbWrapper',
                ],
            ],
        ],
    ]
];
