[bd] Widget Framework 2.6.6

[rob_pio]

Hi
I've created a new widget page to use as the homepage (https://www.lifeinqueensland.com/)
Can anyone advise how I can add a meta title and description to the page?

Is it an addon that put's your forum list on sidebar?
Nice sidebar widget

If you disable "Show child nodes in navtab" and "Show links from Forums navtab" It will still show the dropdown box, in the WidgetFramework_Listener::navigation_tabs function you should change the 'linksTemplate' line to

'linksTemplate' => (XenForo_Template_Helper_Core::styleProperty('wf_homeLinksChildNodes') || XenForo_Template_Helper_Core::styleProperty('wf_homeLinksForums'))?'wf_home_navtab_links':'',

Enhanced Search should not affect the widget though. Probably something else. Have you checked for Clear Sidebar widget? It can prevent widgets from showing up.

The WF didn't function at all, it didn't replace the default widgets or anything. So I compared the config.php's between staging and production and found one difference:

$config['enableListeners'] = 0;

This line is in production's config.php and prevents the widget framework working. Commenting it out or changing it to "true" resolves my problem but creates another: our enhanced search starts giving errors, lot's of em. So I reverted the config.php to keep that setting on. Other add-ons (like the enhanced search) work with that setting set to 0 but the WF does not. Any workaround on this situation?

With listeners turned off I seriously doubt enhanced search is working (which would explain why there are no errors until you set that option to true), as a matter of fact, pretty much no add on will work as most rely on code event listeners, which that line disables. You'll need to enable it and Fix your errors in enhanced search.

Well yeah that was pretty much the case. We found a fix for the enhanced search and now both work as designed. Thanks.

Lower the cache TTL to 180 or don't use caching by using 0

How is that done?

How is that done?

Some widgets will have this options


On Profile Post widget the TTL will be 3600

-I made a tabbed widget but I can't get the tabs to stay in a single line no matter what I do. Is there a way to shrink the text size of the tab text or some other formatting option?



-I tried to create a widget page but I couldn't get the URL field to take no matter how many different combinations of /forum/widget-pages/... I tried. Kept getting the 'must have url/node a-z, 0-9, ...' error.

@xfrocks
On latest version of XF and WF, the New Profile Post widget will only show profiles that are not hidden.
For example, if I set it to show 5 latest profile posts, but 3 of them are from members who restrict viewing of their profile posts, then the widget will only show 2 latest ones.
It should check permission and show 5 profile posts that can be viewed.

For the text size in EXTRA.css

.widget-tabs .tabs { font-size: 10px; border-bottom: none; }

or

.widget-tabs .tabs { font-size: 10px !important; border-bottom: none !important; }

The border bottom will remove this line

TJA - as it currently stands it's fine. I had to shorted up the text to get it in line. Before, it looked like the screen shot a few posts up. I was trying to keep the same texts there, just shrink it so they would fit into one row rather than two.

The Recent Threads widget seems to have a bug. I am using it as a page, as my index page.

http://www.agileguitarforum.com/

It is showing the thread starter as the the last person who replied instead of the actual thread starter. Not sure how to fix this?

Trying to mimic the "Recent Posts" in a widget. Are using the "Threads" renderer and widget type "Latest replies". What I can not solve is when a new thread is created the first post will not appear in the widget. The new thread is not visible until a replay is posted in that thread.

Anything I'm missing?

Thanks in advance

You'll probably need a custom renderer. I can probably make one for you when I have time (no promises of exactly when that would be though)
