So you want to have The Wire plugin form in Riverdashboard plugin eh? Well it's really simple! Follow the steps below.
Copy this code:
<div class="post_to_wire">
<h3><?php echo elgg_echo("thewire:doing"); ?></h3>
<script>
function textCounter(field,cntfield,maxlimit) {
// if too long...trim it!
if (field.value.length > maxlimit) {
field.value = field.value.substring(0, maxlimit);
} else {
// otherwise, update 'characters left' counter
cntfield.value = maxlimit - field.value.length;
}
}
</script>
<form action="<?php echo $vars['url']; ?>action/thewire/add" method="post" name="noteForm">
<?php
$display .= "<textarea name='note' value='' onKeyDown=\"textCounter(document.noteForm.note,document.noteForm.remLen1,140)\" onKeyUp=\"textCounter(document.noteForm.note,document.noteForm.remLen1,140)\" id=\"thewire_large-textarea\">{$msg}</textarea>";
$display .= "<div class='thewire_characters_remaining'><input readonly type=\"text\" name=\"remLen1\" size=\"3\" maxlength=\"3\" value=\"140\" class=\"thewire_characters_remaining_field\">";
echo $display;
echo elgg_echo("thewire:charleft") . "</div>";
echo elgg_view('input/securitytoken');
?>
<input type="hidden" name="method" value="site" />
<input type="submit" value="<?php echo elgg_echo('save'); ?>" />
</form>
</div>
<?php echo elgg_view('input/urlshortener'); ?>
and open /mod/riverdashboard/views/default/riverdashboard/welcome.php - once you open that, then paste the code above, below this piece of code:
<div id="content_area_user_title">
<h2><?php echo sprintf(elgg_echo('welcome:user'), $name); ?></h2>
</div>
and that's it! See a working demo at my site at demyx.com.
