Unmaintained [bd] Widget Framework 2.6.6

This just does not work for me. I am using 1.2.9. I had it installed. When I rearrange widgets for some reason my site stops working and I get error pages. The widgets itself (the layout) never actually saves. Its broken.

there is a bug in versions past beta14 where the sidebar will only display old posts (and does not update). hasn't been addressed in months, no response from author even after paying for account upgrade and sending PMs/forum posts. I'll still use it, but downgrading to beta14 (again) due to lack of support.

Nice one, I found the sidebar poll widget very useful. Few tweaks was required in the sidebar poll CSS to achieve harmony with the in-thread poll, but those are very easy and minor. Thumbs up.

Good features, important for previous VB owner which has this function built in. You can get latest threads, latest posts, etc. Each has adjustable cache TTL.

BUT, it does not work in PHP 7, unless you do some file editing first.

Install in test forum first, before installing in in your real forum.

AWESOME , BEST ADD ON I HAVE THANKS WORKS PERFECTLY .................................................

so nice thank you very much for this add-on. Hope you will dev more and more better add-on for us!!! Love!!!!!

Fantastic ! This was just what I needed on my forum. Easy to use and so flexible. I keep looking for ways to use it even more ways to use it and add features. 5 stars from me !

So easy to use! So powerful! I love this mod.
Thanks for making such a great tool.
One small 200k mod replaced all of VBB CMS system.

I am loving the mod.

Where's the donate button? This is the single most flexible, multi-purpose add-on we use. I can't believe how little work it requires to show relevant same-category threads in every subforum on our site. Also used it to give our staff a way to view 20 most recent user registrations in the Member List.

I can't wait to find more uses for it.

Totally Awesome! This should be rolled into the xenforo code without a doubt! Another must-have mod! Now I need to figure out how to get it on the gallery pages, and I'm totally hooked! Great work here!

Another excellent add-on by xfrocks, he truly makes xenForo rock!

Widget Framework gives you extensive capabilities to do and show almost anything, anywhere. It isn't just a simple sidebar manager, you can make pages dynamic thanks to this add-on!

Just an example, on my home page (http://orojackson.com/) we use the add-on to manage all content on the sidebar and update the main content block manually via html/css. And due to the dynamic sidebar content, no one expects the page to actually be static/manually updated!

I even use this add-on to manage Google Adsense advertisements. As EQnoble said in a previous review: "There is nothing reasonable that I should expect this addon to do that it can't"

It also comes with the excellent 'xfrocks' support! 5 stars all day, any day!

Really an excellent add-on to customized the blocks and feel of my forum. Instead of messing up the template, this add on gives an easy way to put any blocks you want on your forum.

Exactly what I was looking for! Looks great, works well with my site and allows me to add the sidebar to every page.

Only had an issue with trying to stick the sidebar for thread view. It would load on the thread view and forum view, but it was below the threads/posts in the sidebar and not stuck on the screen.

A large and complex addon that is free! There are still some small bugs, but overall a very impressive addon that is very flexible. Lots of options to customize. Hoping for continued development and support.

I just love this add-on so much. XFrocks, you are a credit to this community. Love your work mate. Now I just wish I knew how to write basic renderers :)

Thanks for releasing this addon. It's invaluable for adding useful content throughout the forum. It's quite easy to use, with just a little effort to learn how. And I'm guessing it's flexible enough to do really powerful things with.

I am coming back here to leave a review even though I am pretty sure I have left one for a previous version just because I feel like this is one of my two favorite addons (that are not admin tools) and it doesn't let me down..pretty much ever.

After getting familiar with how the system works and learning to write my own more complex renderers I am coming to the conclusion that there really is nothing reasonable that I should expect this addon to do that it can't.

I have even went out of my way to make the most convoluted and complex renderer that I could (things you would never do on a public facing site...ever) and only as an attempt to see what I would have to do to break this addon and realistically as long as the code I write runs, it can run as sort of an extension of this addon.

I was able to make a customizable feed aggregation widget, slideshows, video player/playlists and now most recently rebuilt a countdown addon to work completely within the framework and have it's own renderer which allows me to make it support an unlimited amount of countdown widget blocks.

I don't want to go into the author here as for me this review is more about the software itself, but I must bring up that XFrocks is really good at what he does and from my experiences and conversations with him I can tell you that he cares for and respects this community very much.

Short of adding entire applications (auctions, store, arcade ect) you pretty much have what you need right here. With a combination of this addon and 'Nodes as Tabs' you can pretty much easily customize everything that I would consider basic essentials for completely customizing your forum.

Amazing add-on, the best I have found yet! This should become part of the Xenforo core package IMO. It's going to save me so much work. Very easy to use.

This product is really good. I was surprised how easy it was to put together and how well it works right out of the box. Thanks for this, it is a real gem.

Perfect support and implementation. Widgets adds an extra dimension to your site and are recommended for everyone. Should be core but this add on is as good. Thanks for supplying and supporting it, appreciated
