Blatchy NodeList Widget
A modern, customizable node list widget for your XenForo 2.3 sidebar. Display exactly the forums, pages, links, or search nodes you want — in the exact order you want — without dragging in your entire forum hierarchy.
Features
- Pick what to show — multi-select picker lets you choose any combination of Forums, Link Forums, Pages, and Search nodes
- Custom display order — reorder picked nodes with up/down buttons; categories auto-include and group their child forums
- Select all / Deselect all — one click to load every selectable node into your widget
- Collapsible categories — clean expand/collapse toggles using XenForo's native categoryList styling
- Default expansion option — start with all categories expanded or collapsed
- Permission-aware — automatically respects per-node and per-usergroup permissions; users only see what they're allowed to see
- "All forums" mode — leave the picker empty to display the full forum tree in natural order
- Zero theme dependencies — uses stock XenForo classes, so it inherits whatever style you have applied
