[XenCustomize] Testimonials: Client Feedback & Reviews Manager 2.3.4

XenCustomize Testimonials v2.3.4 is here!​

This is a major update that brings a highly-requested feature: a full-fledged Testimonial Reply System. This new system transforms static testimonials (or feedback, reviews, experiences, or recommendations, depending on your chosen Testimonial Type) into dynamic conversations by allowing users to engage directly with content.

Testimonial Replies are a new, fully integrated content type, which means they work seamlessly with core XenForo features. You can now use reactions on replies, and users will be notified through a comprehensive set of alerts and news feed updates. Additionally, we have added a full suite of moderation tools, giving you complete control over replies and ensuring a safe, organized environment.

This update also includes various code optimizations for improved performance and a number of bug fixes to enhance stability. We've published new documentation threads with detailed explanations and screenshots showcasing every new feature, so be sure to check them out. Upgrade now to enable this new level of community engagement!
