[bd] Widget Framework 2.6.6

[Andy.N]

Hi xfrocks,

If I already have several templates such as qnt_stats, qnt_sidebar and I currently call them directly from forum_list using
<xen:include template="qnt_stats">
</xen:include>

What is the preferred way to do it in this framework?
1) Do I create sidebar block (which type) and just call these templates (how)?
2) Do I copy the content of those templates and create widgets with the exact content? Then delete those templates?

Thanks

The best way to do this is asking the custom add-on author to support Widget Framework. He will only need to type a few lines of code, it's very easy! Of course, you can send me a message

By the way, I made this Top Users widget to work with the Widget Framework. I made it on WF 1.0.9 but I presume it should be working with WF 1.1.0 also.

I created 2 widgets with <iframe /> and they work just fine. Can you copy and paste the content of your 2 widgets?

Widget 1:

<iframe src="http://cache.www.gametracker.com/co...yers=0&showTopPlayers=0&showBlogs=0&width=240" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" width="230" height="175"></iframe>

<iframe src="http://cache.www.gametracker.com/co...yers=0&showTopPlayers=0&showBlogs=0&width=240" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" width="230" height="175"></iframe>

Widget 2:

<iframe src="http://cache.www.gametracker.com/co...yers=1&showTopPlayers=0&showBlogs=0&width=240" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" width="240" height="500"></iframe>

If you have just created the user (after the widget is setup), the widget is probably cached (refreshed every 6 hours). Go to the widget edit page, change something (like the limit) and save it.

Doesn't seem to work, there is any way to manually empty the cache? Is it in a mysql table?

xfrocks updated [bd] Widget Framework with a new update entry:

Please update the latest version (1.1.1) and try again. It looks like I messed it up Sorry for the problem.

This looks very nice. I'm wondering if RM can link 2 resources together, that would be awesome!

They work for me. You should send me a message with your site url to troubleshoot this better. Thanks

When I enable the Who's online and Forum stats widgets, it will show one pair on top and bottom. Even after I revert the forum_list template.
Do we have to do anything to suppress the stock Who's online and Forum stats block? What other templates do we have to revert?

Yes, you have to enable the Clear Sidebar widget to suppress the normal sidebar.

Include the clear sidebar widget first and then use the widgets from the framework.

Didn't know that. I thought the widgets will overwrite the similar stock ones.

Actually i find it useful that the 2 kind of widgets can overlap, i use a combination of normal ones and bd ones for my own sidebar.

The clear sidebar removes whatever is there on the sidebar. I have it first wherver I use the WF, then have all the widgets I need.
