You must log in to post replies.Look at this code.
Perhaps, you want to learn docs.
it didnot work for me can you try it ? it is very confusing i found this code :-
if you draw a 'widget' layout (like done in https://github.com/Elgg/Elgg/blob/a836dda6e17954f8825c728d69b6113e38a01332/mod/dashboard/views/default/resources/dashboard.php#L5-L11) the function 'elgg_can_edit_widget_layout()' is called which triggers a hook to allow users to add widgets when the function returns TRUE.
See https://github.com/Elgg/Elgg/blob/a836dda6e17954f8825c728d69b6113e38a01332/engine/lib/widgets.php#L39-L52
