XF 2.3 Is there a way to add a widget under quick reply?

[MapleOne]

I am trying to find a way to add a widget like this...

• Direct message view: Below quick reply

I have a widget placed below quick reply on thread view and would like to somehow put the same widget on the direct message view but not in the sidebar.


Anyone have an idea?

@AndyB was kind enough to make me an addon for this

Works like a charm

Thank you Andy

An "add-on" is not required.

Just add the widget directly to the template using <xf:widget key="widget_key" /> .

Agreed that can be done but Andy updates his add-ons and I don't have to worry about Xenforo upgrades. I can edit the widget html right in the addon and make it look any way I like.

I used to have template edits but have gotten away from them for easier upgrades. I appreciate the suggestion Paul and will keep it in mind for sure.

PS. I have customized my direct messages setup to look more like email.









Also notice the sponsors under quick reply now that its done.
