Hi. I know it's being solved properly for the next Elgg version, but I really need to workaround this as soon as posible. I'm exploring the code but certainly don't know how to sort the problem. Anyone has any idea on hoy to sort the problem? Or at least, how can I add widgets to an user when they register directly by code. I know I should register a function for handling the create user event, but don't know how to add specifically widgets for user setting context, column and the widget itself. Of course I'm talking of an temporary fix for the problem for new users to have something on dashboard/profile.

Thank you very much.

I found that this bug (http://trac.elgg.org/ticket/4184) was marked as "closed" on release 1.8.2. but problem that I was described before: "...But in fact both of them trying to create widgets on profile page and as result we got two entities for one widget with the same params" still reproduced... 

so, is thi resolved or not? I ask before i upgrade to 8.2

Elgg 1.8.3 was recently released!

I'm upgrading my elgg now... so i will  let you guys know if this upgrade solve this problem!
Cheers,

I guess replacing this:

On line 316 from engine/lib/widgets.php solves this issue!

Thanks Cash for putting this on the elgg ticket #4254
