[TylerAustin] XFRM Resource Grid - XF2 1.0.0

Transforms XenForo Resource Manager listings into a compact marketplace-style card grid inspired by the FoxSecrets resource index. The implementation uses XenForo and XFRM templates, entities, phrases, and styling; it does not copy proprietary FoxSecrets assets or code.

Key Features​

• Responsive, equal-height resource cards that follow the reference layout proportions while filling the configured number of columns.
• Classic and Showcase card styles. Showcase adds a cover area, centered native resource icon, content section, and footer without changing the Grid/List preference.
• A third Modern card style adds rounded cards, alternating purple/blue covers, large native resource icons, version pills, view/download counts, and a separate Preview / More footer. Existing Classic and Showcase layouts remain available.
• Modern's Preview opens a permission-checked resource summary through XenForo's native overlay; More opens the full resource page. Preview does not expose the resource description or bypass download/purchase permissions.
• Add bookmark / Edit bookmark is available directly on Classic, Showcase, and Modern cards for eligible members. It uses XenForo's existing bookmarks, including native editing and removal, without a separate saved-items system.
• Share is available on visible Classic, Showcase, and Modern cards for guests and members. It opens XenForo's native sharing interface, including device sharing where supported or the share tooltip's copy-link controls, using the resource's canonical URL.
• Watch / Unwatch is available on visible Classic, Showcase, and Modern cards for eligible members. It uses XFRM's existing resource subscriptions and native form for choosing email notifications or confirming an unwatch, without changing category watches.
• Independent detail checklists for each card style: tagline, rating, downloads, date, updated date, user, category, and version. Taglines remain limited to two lines.
• Grid support for the resource overview, category, featured-resource, and author-resource pages.
• A native XF:UserOption Default resource display mode preference lets each registered user choose the standard XFRM List layout or the marketplace-style Grid layout.
• Grid and List buttons above resource listings work for guests and members. Members update that same native user preference; guests keep their choice in a functional cookie for the browser session. XFRM's permission-aware moderation button completes the three-button layout for moderators.
• A resource browsing toolbar provides search, Default/Newest resources/Recently updated/Title/Highest rated/Most viewed/Most downloaded sorting, Free/Paid filtering, and a live loaded-resource count in both layouts.
• Most viewed orders loaded resources by XFRM's recorded resource view count, highest first. It works in Classic, Showcase, Modern, and native List and does not redefine Popular badges or introduce a view-count threshold.
• Reset clears the toolbar search and Free/Paid filter and restores the default order without removing loaded resources, changing Grid/List preferences, or clearing the server-side Filters.
• Load more appends the next page while retaining the toolbar selections. Search, sorting, and price filtering operate on loaded resources; the regular page navigation and server-side Filters remain available.
• A Resource grid cards per row setting appears directly in the existing XenForo Resource Manager option group and supports one through six cards per row.
• A default-on Enable resource grid layout switch on resource category add/edit forms lets administrators disable Grid for individual category listings without changing saved member or guest preferences.
• Grid change log on the existing category edit page shows subsequent Grid-switch changes. Members' Grid/List changes use XenForo's existing user change log with translated values; guest cookie changes are not logged. Both histories follow XenForo's native change-log retention setting.
• Native XFRM resource icon, resource prefix, title, two-line tagline, rating, update date, and moderation controls. Marketplace banners, product images, and user avatars are never substituted for the resource icon.
• Native XFRM purchase, download, watch, featured, approval, deletion, and team-member states.
• New and Popular badges appear alongside the existing card statuses in Classic, Showcase, and Modern. New means published within the last seven days; Popular follows the native Trending resources widget's selected resources without a separate view/download threshold.
• Marketplace purchase detection and Buy Now actions when XFA RM Marketplace is installed; downloadable resources use Download, and fileless resources use Learn more....
• Variable-price cards use the configured default checkout amount and display the add-on's active lifetime, duration, discounted, and renewal-aware price choices.
• Dark-style and responsive behavior through XenForo style properties and media queries.

Bonus Features​

• Optional integration with [TylerAustin] RM Marketplace Product Price With Variables Option so each card can display its canonical price-choice summary and effective default checkout amount.
• Graceful fallback to standard XFRM pricing or resource-view actions when optional marketplace add-ons are unavailable.

Supported XF Versions​

• XenForo 2.3.0+
• XenForo Resource Manager 2.3.x
