/**
 * Docy Core Compatibility Layer
 *
 * Fixes compatibility issues between Forumax and older versions of Docy Core plugin.
 * 
 * The issue: 
 * - Old Docy Core (v4.3.1 and below) had Forums widget that conflicted with Forumax
 * - New Docy Core (v4.3.2+) removed Forums widget (now handled by Forumax)
 * - During update transition, class conflicts can occur
 *
 * Solution: 
 * - Detect docy-core version
 * - Only load Forums_widget.php if it exists in old version
 * - Prevent duplicate class declarations
 * - Unregister old widgets and register new Forumax widgets
 *
 * @package Forumax
 * @since 2.1.1
