This add-on is way more complex than I initially thought when I purchased it. It's incredible what you can do with it.

I have do have couple slight issue with the news feed user filter though. It seems to have session caching for the filter and will remember user selection, which is good.

However, some of the selections on the filter do not "appear" to be saved even though in the actual feed they are.

For example, visually it will remember forum selection, but there is no "check" on unread threads even though the feed IS filtering unread threads. This is true for watched threads, unread threads, and unanswered threads.

If you could make sure that those 3 filter options at the bottom remain checked upon refresh like the other filter options, that would be awesome.

The other issue, is that it does not seem to respect forums with "Display in the node list" unchecked. For example, "Site Rules" is not visible on the forum list but is visible in the filter menu.

Thanks for your time!

Should be fixed in the latest patch
 
In the featured content tab, am I missing an obvious setting to display the newest featured content first? It currently shows the oldest content first.
 
Would you consider adding in-line moderator tools to the latest thread tabs at some point down the road? I discovered you can use the latest thread tab and limit it to one forum to basically use that tab as an entire forum. Great for staff forums or group exclusive (VIP) forums that you don't want crowding up the main forum list.

Hi @Painbaker

I am not fan of breadcrumb at the homepage. So I am hiding it at the homepage. My question is regarding tab locations, how can I move the tabs as in the images below? Can you direct me for correct template modifications maybe?

I want to narrow the New Thread and Recent Posts button area and move the tabs up and in line with it.

The only solution for your case is to hide this block and add a custom HTML widget with a buttons to the sidebar.

CSS: 
[data-template="forum_list"] .p-body-header {
  display: none;
}

The add-on was not designed for this purpose, but I'll look into this.

Seems like one of your featured content add-on has been deleted or disabled, but it still has a Featured record.

Check thexf_featured_content table and see if there are any non-existent content types or by deleted/disabled add-ons.

Thank you @Painbaker, good idea indeed. I already implemented and saved more space on the homepage.

For those interested with this modification,

Create a HTML widget and order it to be first in sidebar. Add the following code in template field.
HTML: 
<div class="p-body-header-sidebar" style="display: flex; justify-content: center; gap: 10px; flex-wrap: wrap;">
    <xf:button href="{{ link('whats-new/posts') }}" class="button--icon button--icon--bolt xtr-nav-link" rel="nofollow">
        <xf:fa icon="bolt fa-fw" />
        <span class="button-text">{{ phrase('new_posts') }}</span>
    </xf:button>

    <xf:if is="$xf.visitor.user_id">
        <xf:button href="{{ link('forums/create-thread') }}" class="button--icon button--icon--write button--cta" overlay="true" rel="nofollow">
            <xf:fa icon="write fa-fw" />
            <span class="button-text">{{ phrase('post_thread...') }}</span>
        </xf:button>
    </xf:if>
</div>
<p>

Then add the following code to the extra.less
Less: 
/*** HIDE New Posts and Post Thread Buttons at Forum list ***/
[data-template="forum_list"] .p-body-header {
  display: none;
}
/*** HIDE New Posts and Post Thread Buttons at Forum list ***/

/*** SIDEBAR  New Posts and Post Thread Button Area Background Style***/
.p-body-header-sidebar
{
    color: @xf-textColor;
    background: @xf-contentBg;
    border: 1px solid @xf-borderColor;
    border-radius: @xf-borderRadiusMedium;
    padding: @xf-paddingMedium; //Changed Large to Medium
    min-height: 50px; /* Adjust height as needed */
}
/*** SIDEBAR  New Posts and Post Thread Button Area Background Style***/

The only problem with this method is these buttons will not appeared top of page at the mobile.
 
I have been noticing inconsistencies with the session caching for this add-on. It seems with guest viewing the tabs will sometimes get stuck.'

My default tab is forums. As a guest, if I click on a different tab, and then back to another tab, it will get stuck on the previous tab I clicked in. Even on fresh reloads or viewing as guest on another device. Could this be looked into?

Please try the new version.

I’ve added an additional tab activation on the JavaScript side. Previously, the tab was activated using a CSS class during page rendering, which meant it was always stuck on the version cached for guests.
 
A quick couple of questions about this add-on.

I have two forums on my music site using your music add-on. One is for 'Classic Bands' the other for 'Next Gen Bands' could this add-on add tabs to display albums from specific date periods? For example, in the 'Classic Bands' forums create tabs to display albums from 1970 to 1979, albums from 1980 to 1989, albums from 1990 to 1999 etc.

Would this work in the same way for 'Next Gen Bands' with different years from and to?

Will this also work in conjunction with Hoffi's alphabetical 'Index for forums' add-on?

Many thanks in advance :)
