Have you seen...?

This forum spotlights some of XenForo's interesting features. Spotlights on features in upcoming releases will be posted here.
Watching Resource Categories, Anonymous Reviews, and More...
The Resource Manager 1.1 update will soon be running here on XenForo.com with a public beta release to follow after further testing. But before that, let's talk about a few more of the new features coming. Watching Resource Categories Similar to watching a forum in XenForo 1.1, you can now watch a whole resource category: Anonymous Reviews Administrators can now choose to allow users to leave anonymous reviews. Anonymous reviews are still associated with the user leaving the review (to prevent duplicate reviews and to maintain accountability). However, only users with permission to bypass user privacy will be able to see who left the review. In this example I can see that "test" left the review because I have permission...
Resource Category Permissions and Prefixes
We continue our XenForo Resource Manager 1.1 feature showcase with 2 more commonly requested features. These may not be ground breaking, but they will significantly expand the flexibility of the Resource Manager and open up more possibilities for using it. Resource Category Permissions I'm not sure what to show here exactly as you can probably guess what this looks like. :) If you are familiar with node permissions, you'll understand this straight away. In the current release of the RM, permissions can only be specified at the "global" level (user groups or per user). Individual resource categories cannot have any separate permissions, except by setting the Allow resources to be created by... option. Now, every permission can be...
Resource Icons and Featured Resources
Today, we're continuing on with our look at some of the new features coming in the 1.1 release of the XenForo Resource Manager. Up next are 2 of the most common requests. Note that as before, we're not running RM 1.1 here yet so you can't play with these just yet. Resource Icons In the current RM release, the icon that is displayed with a resource has simply been the avatar of the author. This has been used in resource lists and next to the title when viewing the resource itself. In 1.1, administrators can choose to let users upload unique icons for each resource instead, similar to what you might find in various app stores. The icon allows resource authors to have a space to add a quick, unique identifying element to their resource...
Resource Manager Custom Fields
Today, we're ready to start talking about some of the features that will be coming in version 1.1 of the XenForo Resource Manager add-on. This version will be more evolutionary and focuses on adding some of the most popular RM feature requests. Let's start with custom fields... The custom fields you'll find in RM 1.1 are similar to the custom user fields already in XenForo. If you know how to setup those fields, you'll understand how to setup RM custom fields. I'm not going to cover the features in custom resource fields that are part of custom user fields (such as making a field required or the value display HTML). Display Locations Custom resource fields can be displayed in 4 different locations: Above the resource description...
