[bd] Widget Framework 2.6.6

[erich37]

sorry if this has been asked before...

I am running a private community and would like to show the sidebar-widgets to logged-in members only.
So guests should not see those widget-elements in the sidebar.

Is this possible with this add-on? How to do this?

Many thanks!

$visitor['user_id'] > 0 -- means: show the widget for logged in users only
(shown as explanation in the widget admin in the latest version, should be typed in expression box

Would I be able to do this.
The location is EWRporta_Portal, forum_list, thread_view
Only show the widget on thread_view for guests. It will show on EWRporta_Portal, forum_list for everyone.
I try to combine the location and conditions instead of making duplicate widgets.

Something like this should work, but you need to test it.

empty($thread) OR $visitor['user_id'] == 0

You are da man. Thanks.
The use of empty() is really neat. I don't think it is the standard xf conditionals

I'm not sure about template condition but there is only a few allowed functions. By using widget conditions you have more choice and power.

Suggestion for new version: Ability to toggle the sidebar off/on on a per user basis.

My users are demanding a widget to display 'Watched Threads' in the sidebar. Can someone code it, please?

You mean an user can toggle the sidebar system wide? Like this http://xenforo.com/community/threads/collapsible-sidebar.14475/ (this seems to be not working fyi).

Show all watched threads? Or just watched threads with new posts?

Would it be possible to add individual widget collapsing ability?

Possible but the widgets will be rendered anyway then they will be collapsed client-side via Javascript/cookie.

(1) ALL with Unread ones first and bolded (or some highlight) ?
(2) Unread ones, with a link to ALL ... just like this page http://xenforo.com/community/watched/threads

In the sidebar of what page ?

Frankly speaking; I've just realized that members don't really know what they want. I asked the same question to them and they're not sure what to say. Since notifications are sent out as soon as the watched threads are updated; there's no point in displaying them in the sidebar.

Yep. I think so.

Works well with me.

Yes exactly that! Entire sidebar like that but let the users choose to do so.

I am still running XF-version 1.1.1

Is this add-on compatible with XF 1.1.1 ?

Many thanks!

Not tested but it should work.

I was just asking because I read about "hooks" and not sure if anything has changed on "hooks" since XF 1.1.1
