As per title, I've implemented Featured Content Handlers for the content types
This means that process of featuring/unfeaturing IMS content is now 100% handled by the Core XF Featured Content Handler.
You can use the Core XF Featured Content Widget Definition to create featured content widgets for IMS content (or mixed content). Display is controlled by Core XF Featured Content Layout types (Standard, Simple, Carousel), not IMS Layout Types!
You can also continue to use the IMS Featured Items Widget Definition & IMS Featured Series Widget Definition to create Featured Items widgets & Featured Series widgets for IMS content and display that content in IMS layout types.
IMS Index: Featured Items are still being displayed the same (based on IMS options and Layout Type Macros).
IMS Category pages. Featured Items are still being displayed the same (based on IMS options).
IMS Series list: Featured Series are still being displayed the same (based on IMS options and Layout Type Macros).
Note: You can disable the IMS options and instead, create widget(s) from the Featured Content Widget Definition and display those on IMS Index/Category/Series list pages (which is what XFRM does).
There is unfortunately some feature loss. The Auto Feature system has been sunsetted (at least for now). It is not compatible with the Core XF Featured Content handler (and frankly, that kind of functionality needs to be part of the abstract handler).
