Please provide feedback. But be gentle it has been tested only on FF8, so please report the browser in your feedback.
Thanks for the great mod Jeroen, I am running into 3 issues. When I enable the mod, I run into these errors. Just to remind you, I am using elgg 1.8.2, and the widget manager plugin is all the way at the bottom of my list.
1. Fatal error: Call to undefined function hj_framework_get_data_pattern() in /home/filex/public_html/mod/hypeFramework/views/default/object/default.php on line 9
2. Deprecated in 1.7: list_entities() was deprecated by elgg_list_entities()!
3. widget_manager (guid: 3237) cannot start and has been deactivated. Reason: Cannot include start.php for plugin widget_manager (guid: 3237) at /home/filex/public_html/mod/widget_manager.
@fareed thanks for the report. However your first error is not caused by the widget manager as you can see, but is related to the hypeFramework plugin.
list_entities is not used in any of my code other than a custom deprecated function, and there it even should not exist. Is also reported where the list_entities occurs?
It is strange you cannot activate the plugin. Did you install it correctly? Is there a start.php in the mod/widget_manager folder?
Hey Jeroen,
I've been playing around with this one my 1.8 test site, and I haven't run into any problems, I was however wondering if this plugin is supposed to be able add my own plug-ins to the index page, and also if there is a way to change to layout of the profile/dashboard page the same way the index page is done (changing the # of columns, the width, etc.). If so, how is this done, as while playing around I couldn't figure it out.
Thanks for the plug-in, and I'll keep playing around and see if I can find any errors that jump out at me.
@Alex changing the layout of dashboard/profile is not possible (at the moment) however we are thinking about it. Adding your own widget is currently only programmatically done, but if you have some javascript widgets, you could add them via a html-widget. Be advised, some content filtering will prevent you from uploading javascript (or other potential harmfull code).
hi thanks for the plugin just trying to understand is this can be done with out a pop menu and like the way we use to selct with in browser, thanks
@worldopensources i don't understand the question, could you be more specific or add a screenshot?
Hi i have installed the plugin, when widgets are tried to drag and arrange, it is not dragable, dragging feature is not working, rest of things are fine but most importantly dragging feature on dashboard is not working, could you pls provide fix for this as well, thanks,
@worldopensource that would probably be related to a js issue. Could you try to run www.yoursite.com/upgrade.php?
It could also point to a conflict with another plugin. This version works without any known issues on a 1.7 installation
like tried to drag and arrange on dashboard, its no more working,
oh cool thanks for your faster response, i tried to upgrade, and flushed as well still no luck, iam directly used and tried on latest 1.8.3 current release
@worldopensources i have not tested it on a 1.8.3 installation. It worked fine when using 1.8.2. I will let you know if it is related to 1.8.3.
tested on your 1.4 beata version with latest release 1.8.3
thanks.
