![[XFRM] XenForo Resource Manager](https://web.xenforos.com/data/resource_icons/0/8.jpg?1714425307){kind=icon}
The XenForo Resource Manager is an add-on that allows you to manage resources such as files and tutorials or other article-like content along side your normal forum.
The aim is allow content such as files to be listed with a focus on the initial content rather than discussion surrounding it.
Resources will be placed into individual categories that are organized into a tree.
Each category can control the types of resources that can be added to that category via the Allowed resource types option. If a category has any children, their resources will be listed when viewing the parent category. To create a category that is only used for organizing other categories, deselect all Allowed resource types from it.
Whenever a resource is posted into a category, a thread can automatically be created in a designated forum. This allows a separate discussion for each resource. If the Automatically create thread in forum option is configured, the resource will link to the discussion thread and the discussion thread will link back to the related resource. If this value is changed, it will not apply to any existing resources.
