How to move group file widget to right sidebar
By damieneskimo
Hi. I am trying to move the enabled group file widget to the right sidebar on the group profile page. I can see that in groups/profile/layout.php file
// views/default/groups/profile/layout.php
....
echo elgg_view('groups/profile/widgets', $vars);
so I look into the groups/profile/widgets.php file
// enable tools to extend this area
echo elgg_view("groups/tool_latest", $vars);but I couldn't find this groups/tool_latest view. So what is this tool_latest view and how can I achieve to move only the group file widget (not others) to the right sidebar? Thanks

- First you have to create a plugin.
- In that plugin, unregister the view extension made by files plugin (mod/files/start.php - line number 29) by adding the following lines to your plugin
- Then extend any of the views located inside mod/groups/views/default/groups/sidebar/ folder with the view 'file/group_module'. OR you can override the profile.php file inside mod\groups\views\default\resources\groups with a new one integrating the new view directly to sidebar.

You must log in to post replies.Physical presence of the vie file is not mandatory. Even if the file for the view doesn't exist, you can still extend it using the api - elgg_extend_view()
If you want to remove the group file widget then
elgg_unextend_view('groups/tool_latest', 'file/group_module');

Thank you very much for your reply, Team webgalli.
