Paid [XTR] Golden Threads 1.0.13

Release Notes​

This release is a major optimization and security update aimed at providing full compatibility with the XenForo 2.3.x ecosystem, improving search engine visibility (SEO), and eliminating performance bottlenecks on large boards.

The legacy jQuery dependencies have been entirely abandoned in favor of the Vanilla JS architecture standard to XenForo 2.3. Critical SEO indexing issues (noindex) that blocked Google bots on statistics pages have been resolved, and potential security vulnerabilities that could lead to database manipulation have been permanently patched.

Changelog​

• [New] The jQuery dependency was completely removed, and the core Javascript (gt.js) was rewritten in Vanilla JS following XenForo 2.3.x standards, significantly improving performance and load times.
• [New] All template macros (<xf:macro>) were updated to XenForo 2.3's mandatory singular id="..." format, deprecating legacy structures.
• [Security] Added Whitelist protection to the searchMethod variable to prevent unauthorized external parameters (SQL Injection) in database queries.
• [Security] User group variables passed to FIND_IN_SET raw queries are now strictly escaped using XenForo standards ($db->quote()) for enhanced security.
• [Performance] The nested loop mapping (Big O(n²) complexity), which caused server fatigue when generating add-on statistics, was refactored into a single-dimensional isset() query, achieving O performance for much faster rendering.
• [SEO] Fixed an incorrect metaNoindex usage that prevented the first page of the Golden Threads and posters list from being indexed by Google; the restriction is now correctly applied conditionally during filtering or pagination.
• [SEO] Added the $page parameter to Canonical URL tags to eliminate duplicate content risks across paginated results.
• [Fix] Resolved PHP 8.x strict standard errors, including Undefined offset: 0 on empty arrays and Undefined variable $oldestYear crashes in widget queries when no data is returned.
• [Improvement] Boolean parameters (true) in all raw SQL queries were replaced with their integer equivalents (1) to comply with strict database modes.
