Duplicate widgets in profile : Elgg.org

Duplicate widgets in profile

By adrew22a 3038 days ago

I've been having this issue for a while ive been using widget manager and alot of my profiles have duplicate widgets.

I tried re pin them and un pin them. That just made the duplication worse..

Is their a way I can just delete all widgets then just re add them?

something like:

$content2= elgg_get_entities(array(
           "type" => "object",
           "subtype" => "widget",
           'limit' => 1000));

foreach($content2 as $content){
$widget_guid = $content->guid;

            $widget = get_entity($widget_guid);
            $widget->delete();
       }

I'm to scared to run this... dont want to wipe out something thats needed.

Yes, that is a valid way of removing widgets.
However you'll want to remove only the widgets that are in the profile context:
if ($widget->context == 'profile') {
$widget->delete();
}

Also, you don't need get_entity() because elgg_get_entities() returns ElggWidget objects.
So you can just do:
$widgets = elgg_get_entities(array(
"type" => "object",
"subtype" => "widget",
'limit' => false,
));
foreach ($widgets as $widget) {
if ($widget->context == 'profile') {
$widget->delete();
}
}
