Any news if this is one of the parts which will be changed in 1.2? ( http://xenforo.com/community/threads/development-update.25726/#post-311302 )

 

It's not a pain for 3rd party devs to create sidebar blocks/widgets  but it's a pain for the end user to use them.

 

1. there are several different "frameworks/addons" by 3rd party devs for this.

Most of them aren't compatible to each other, so the user have to choose one and then he complains that block/widget xyz isn't available for this framework........

 

2. it's really not user-friendly to manage the available blocks and avarage joe still doesn't understand, why he can't just copy the code from template xyz into his template to have the sidebar with the board statistics available on a custom page or an other template......

 

 

Would be nice if you check the ipb blog to get some ideas:P

one of the IMO best features there is http://community.invisionpower.com/blog/1174/entry-5434-ipcontent-21-dev-update-external-widgets/
