What's new in XenForo Resource Manager 2.3?
There is nothing entirely brand new to show you today in XenForo Resource Manager 2.3 but throughout the development of XenForo 2.3 we have introduced the split-score review graph along with a slew of changes by virtue of the general framework improvements in XenForo 2.3. Let's have a look at them.
XenForo Resource Manager is an official add-on for XenForo 2, which allows you to manage resources such as files, manuals, etc. Resource Manager allows you to add and update resources very quickly and easily.
It is also possible to sell resources by providing a link to the sales page. You can specify an alternate URL to download the resource.
It is possible to automatically create threads for resource discussion. Resource Manager is fully integrated into XenForo, including fine-tuning rights for specific user groups, likes, alerts, search, spamming, statistics and more.
XenForo Resource Manager requires XenForo 2.0.0 or later.
Some of the changes in XFRM 2.2.5 include:
Reduce the use of queries when specifying resource updates
Fix float overflow in resource bodies
Prohibit resource downloads from being embedded as images
Give an extra warning when changing the forum type if it is assigned to a resource category.
The following public templates have had changes:
inline_mod_resource_move
xfrm.less
Where necessary, the merge system within the "deprecated templates" page should be used to integrate these changes.
Featured resources changes
Featuring content in XenForo initially got its debut in XenForo Resource Manager many years ago! With the inclusion of featured content as a generic feature in the core software we have of course now replaced the legacy implementation of featured resources over to the featured content system in XenForo 2.3 and benefits from the updated feature set there.
Image optimization
Along with the image optimization features in XenForo 2.3, resource icons are also optimized at the point of upload. You can also rebuild the existing resource icons to convert them to WebP either through the admin control panel or through the xf-rebuild:xfrm-icon-optimization command.
Auto-complete search
The aforementioned search suggestions/auto complete feature which is new in Enhanced Search 2.3 also supports resource items. Here's a specific example which shows resources mixed with thread results, though you can of course, where supported, use the search menu to filter on specific content types and the search suggestions will be constrained to that.
