Resource Hub turns your forum into a full-featured download and resource directory — the RaxBoard answer to a dedicated resource manager, with categories, versioning, reviews and moderation built in from day one. Every color, star and badge is wired to your active theme, so it looks native on light, dark and custom themes, and ships fully translatable (English + Turkish).
Four resource types in one system: downloadable files, external/off-site links, file-less guides & articles, and commercial/paid listings — each with its own icon and workflow.
Organize with nested categories, colored prefixes, tags and admin-defined custom fields.
Real release management: per-resource version history with changelogs and update logs, so members always grab the latest build.
Multi-author "teams" let several members co-maintain a resource; an optional EULA gate can require agreement before download.
Complete star-rating and review system with author replies, reactions and content voting to surface the best resources.
Members can watch resources for update alerts, bookmark favorites and receive email digests.
Four widgets — New Resources, Top Resources, Latest Reviews and Statistics — plus an RSS feed for external syndication.
Serious moderation: approval queue, soft-delete with undelete, hard-delete, feature/unfeature, author warnings, inline moderation, reassignment and a deleted-items view.
26 dedicated user-group permissions so you decide exactly who can view, add, download, rate, moderate and manage.
Theme-token-driven styling (no hardcoded palette) and clean install / upgrade / uninstall.
Settings
Everything is configured from Admin → Resource Hub:
Listing: resources per page, reviews per page and the default sort order.
Uploads: allowed file extensions, maximum file size and maximum files per version.
Reviews & ratings: require download before rating, minimum review length, review-required toggle and anonymous-review permission.
Resources: enable author teams and allow custom resource icons.
Management pages: Categories, Prefixes, Custom Fields and Tags — each fully manageable in the admin panel.
Moderation: approval queue, deleted-items view and a moderation log for full auditability.

Bug fixes:
- Fixed the form-label icons on the Add Resource page (Title, Tagline, Type, Description, Changelog, External URL, Version, License/EULA, Tags) that were rendering invisible.
- Uploaded resource icons now serve correctly (were returning 403 because they were stored under the private data/ path).
- Submitting a review now redirects back to the resource instead of showing a raw JSON response.
- Fixed the untranslated 'resource_review_helpful' phrase.
- Resource list rendering polish.
