[XR] XFRM Grid Layout
Transform your Resource Manager into a stunning visual showcase
Version 2.3.0 | XenForo 2.3+ | PHP 8.0+
Tired of boring resource lists?Your Resource Manager has incredible add-ons, styles, and digital products — but the default list view makes them all look the same. Visitors scroll past without stopping. Downloads suffer. Engagement drops.
[XR] XFRM Grid Layout transforms that flat, forgettable list into an eye-catching grid of cards that visitors actually want to click.
What You Get
Modern Card LayoutEach resource becomes a beautiful card with rounded corners, smooth shadows, and a satisfying hover lift animation. Your resource library instantly looks like a premium marketplace — not a dusty file archive.
Smart Background SystemThis is where the magic happens. Every card header features:
- Blurred background — The resource icon is used as a full-width blurred backdrop, creating depth and atmosphere
- Clear icon overlay — The same icon displayed crisp and sharp in the center, drawing the eye immediately
- Default fallback — No icon? No problem. Upload a default image in the admin panel, and every resource gets a professional look. No more broken layouts or empty boxes
- Gradient fallback — Even without any images at all, cards display a clean gradient with the first letter of the resource title
Price RibbonVisitors see pricing at a glance — no need to click into each resource:
- Orange badge — Paid resources showing the exact price ($9.99, €15.00)
- Purple badge — Credit-based resources (500 Bxu, 1000 Credits) — full MJ Resource Credits Payment support
- Green badge — Free resources
Version BadgeA sleek version tag (v2.6.5, v1.0.0) appears on every card header. Visitors instantly know which version is available — no clicking required.
Author OverlayThe resource author's avatar and username float over the card header in a pill-shaped overlay. Clean, informative, and always visible.
Stats at a GlanceEvery card shows three key metrics in a clean row:
- Views — How popular is this resource?
- Downloads — How many people trust it?
- Rating — What does the community think?
Download ButtonA prominent, full-width download button at the bottom of every card. One look, one click. No hunting for links.

- Tablet — Automatically adjusts to 2-3 columns
