[bd] Widget Framework 2.6.6

[Chris D]

I've not tested this, but worth a try:

1) Create a new template, e.g. avforums_no_visitor_panel
2) Contents:

<xen:container var="$noVisitorPanel">1</xen:container>

3) Create a Widget, template renderer, enter the name avforums_no_visitor_panel.

Add that widget wherever you don't want the visitor panel to show.

In theory it should work, but it depends whether the WF can pass container vars up to the PAGE_CONTAINER.

Unless John removed it in the mean time (and I don't think he did), this worked. Thanks, Chris.

Got zero new users, new threads, new posts and new showcases in the forum statistics widget, whereas in the standard widget we have lots.
Do I need to add anything special to get the stats showing correctly?
[Edit - it's an addon which does the extra stats which doesn't work in the widget on pages other than a select few like the forum list].

Ian ,

You need to find the right hook. You can find the widget location as well in the relevant part of the adminCP

@xfrocks I believe there is a bug in Widget Framework.
I have created an advanced template widget to show our latest competitions and put the template into it as required.
View attachment 90326

However the widget is not showing in the sidebar.
The template uses the XF simple cache variable which was made available to xenforo templates as of... I think 1.2. {$xenCache}.
I'm betting the WF doesn't take notice of the {$xenCache} variable which we use like this:
{$xenCache.competitionsCache}
That's the equivalent, in PHP, of:
XenForo_Application::getSimpleCacheData('competitionsCache');

Have you gotten this working? The add-on doesn't care which variable is made available by which controller / XenForo. It simply passes the parameters to the renderer and let it work (in this case, it will pass to your template). I think it should work.

@xfrocks One problem with @Jake Bunce Tabs, on the FAQ it says:


If i try to use category_view with the code to display it on a specific category:

$forum['parent_node_id'] == <category-id>

It will not display. Is there a solution? =/

If you use position "category_view", your expression should use $category instead of $forum.

 

[xfrocks]

Lets say just Pages I create in Xenforo so it would be site.com/pages/(name of page here)

Then you can use this (replace your page node_id)

$_WidgetFramework_positionCode == 'pagenode_container' AND $page['node_id'] = 10

 

[xfrocks]

Is there away to assign a certain widget to a theme? So when they use a specific theme that widget shows?

You can use this expression (replace your style id)

$_styleId == 1

 

[xfrocks]

This is not working for me:

Still showing in all pages.

For "all" position, you need to use $_WidgetFramework_positionCode in your expression. $contentTemplate is not available there.

It simply passes the parameters to the renderer and let it work (in this case, it will pass to your template). I think it should work.

It worked on his live site. No idea why it didn't work on his test site.

Oh, yet another curious case of debugging I'm glad that at least it works now.

If you use position "category_view", your expression should use $category instead of $forum.

Just tried, $category['parent_node_id'] == 55
Still causes it not to display anywhere, hmmm oddness!

Yes, as Chris says, it's working just fine, thank you. Absolutely bizarre why it wouldn't work on the sandbox.
I'm relying the the widget framework now on AVForums for sidebar content and need a bunch of useful widgets which don't exist, yet.

If you use position "category_view", your expression should use $category instead of $forum.

Just used this with the HTML renderer to put some specific text in a certain category.
$category['node_id'] == 495

Just used your way on category_view, however instead of display on that node with me, displays on all categories pages!

 

[EQnoble]

I just tried this with a few different widgets and it works just fine...

Expression: $category['node_id'] == 1
Position: category_view

where 1 is the node id of the category I wanted it to display on so check for typos mis-pastes and things of that nature.
