Q: Does this add-on work with XenForo 2.2.x?
A: Yes! The add-on is fully compatible with XenForo 2.2.x and 2.3.x. It follows XenForo best practices and uses standard API calls that work across versions.
Q: Will this slow down my forum?
A: No! The add-on is highly optimized with optional AJAX lazy loading that can actually speed up page loads by 70-80%. Database queries are optimized using entity finders, and you can control limits to balance performance.
Q: Can I customize which tabs are shown?
A: Absolutely! Each of the 4 tabs (Similar, Terms, Latest, Popular) can be individually enabled or disabled via admin options. You can also disable tabs completely for a single-list view.
Q: Does it work with custom styles?
A: Yes! The add-on uses XenForo's native styling system and integrates seamlessly with all themes. It inherits your forum's colors, fonts, and layout automatically.
Q: Can I control who sees the suggestions?
A: Yes! There's a dedicated permission system that allows you to grant or restrict access per user group. You can also use widget display conditions for advanced control.
Q: Will this prevent duplicate threads?
A: Yes! The autocomplete feature shows similar threads while users are typing their thread title, helping them find existing discussions before creating duplicates.
Q: Does it require jQuery?
A: No! The add-on uses vanilla JavaScript and is fully compatible with XenForo 2.3.x's jQuery-free architecture.
Q: Can I place the widget in different locations?
A: Yes! The widget can be moved to any widget position via the admin panel. Default positions are above/below quick reply, but you can place it anywhere on thread pages.
Q: Does it work on mobile devices?
A: Absolutely! The add-on is fully responsive and optimized for mobile, tablet, and desktop devices with touch-friendly interfaces.
Q: Is support and updates included?
A: Yes! All licensed customers receive full support and free updates. Visit xentr.net for support tickets and update notifications.
Q: Can I exclude certain forums from suggestions?
A: Yes! You can exclude specific forums via admin options, and optionally restrict suggestions to the same forum only.
Q: How does AJAX lazy loading work?
A: When enabled, the widget displays a skeleton loader initially, then loads content via AJAX after the page is fully loaded. This dramatically improves perceived performance without affecting SEO or functionality.
