If you have a lot of content on your forums covering a wide variety of topics, how do you organize it all?
Using nodes is only half the solution. Too few and your community will struggle to find the specific content they need in a node. Too many and they will struggle to decide which node will have what they want. Prefixes also help, but with a lot of content and slower connections, reloading every time you want to adjust your search results can be a hassle.
Filtering gives your visitors the ability to easily access the content they want - without refreshing - by using the filter widget or filter bar to load results directly into the page they are on without waiting for a page to load.
Administrator Features
- Simple configuration - no advanced setup required!
- Works with existing nodes and prefixes.
- Add the [TH] Filter widget to supported pages.
- Determine what the default filter in widgets on the “All Threads” page should be; Prefixes, Nodes, or both.
- Assign a fixed color value randomly to nodes without a color already set automatically.
- Filter results to find desired content easily.
- Dynamically filter results in-page without a refresh.
