2.0 was uploaded before, but contained an error. I reuploaded, so if you downloaded this version before 2009-04-07 13:25 please download again.

jeroen, is it possible to create a widget for the river!

to display the river as a widget!?

I love this mod, it should be in the core structure of elgg,   Thank you for making it :)

It works great. I just had one minor issue. I have Elgg installed in a folder called app15 under my document root so I just had to modify the add.php file.

So instead of

require_once($_SERVER["DOCUMENT_ROOT"] . "/engine/start.php");

it is

require_once($_SERVER["DOCUMENT_ROOT"] . "/app15/engine/start.php");

Thanks.

@jeroen yes, it's possible. If you're interrested in funding it, I can implement it :)

@Deon I had the same problem. Changing this line to the one below should fix the problem on all Elgg installs:

require_once(dirname(dirname(dirname(dirname(__FILE__)))) . "/engine/start.php");

apart from that - great work :)

@vazco did you mean @zanzoon instead of me? If so, i contacted him also :)

I'll change the require once in my next update. Are there any more feature requests?

Super:)

Jeroen, could you put css in seperate css.php? It would be easier for us to override with our own theme. Now we have to strip "metatags.php" for each version...

@Tom i meant to do that in version 2.0 but will do it in the next version.

@Tom

All you need to do is add { include('metatags.css'); } at the top of the metatags.php file  within the <?php   &   ?>   tags,

copy the css from metatags.php file, create new file and name it metatags.css, paste in the css you copied and save.

remove css from metatags.php, save.

upload both files to /mod/draggable_widgets/views/default/draggable_widgets/ and thats it.

You can name the css file to anything you like as long as it matches the name in the include tag on the metatags.php file.

:)

**** Always backup before changing any code ;)  ****

or just wait for 2.1 :)

@trademark: thanks,  but the idea was to increase multifunctionality

@jeroen: I've installed on local host; works great. Then upload to hosted server, which carries exact same code and now ...  no new widget is added; only the existing header of the top-right widget gets more delete/edit buttons...(D&D works fine)... any idea ?

I am using theme_simplebluewhite and, although functionality is great, the appearance is off.  The menu is not inline with the layout. 

Not sure if this has been mentioned, but I've been trying to find that when the user clicks to add a new widget it brings up some sort of organized menu the user can search through.  I plan on adding a ton of widgets, some in house, and some third party through the API. I know once you start to get a lot of widgets available it will look pretty silly having a huge list with no details about what they do or who developed it.

Anyone have any ideas? Thanks.

@crusader you are using a custom style so maybe you css make it position a little weird. Try modifying the css provided with the plugin to position is straight.

@tom did you find out what the problem was?

No, sadly it does not work.

• We installed on 2 different dev servers: perfect (some css tuning)
• tried on our production and test server (Leaseweb) - nada :(

Any ideas?

Same Elgg version? Same plugins active? Same CSS? Try position draggable widgets on bottom of the plugin list..

We just tried again:

• empty 1.5 install
• ALL plugins disabled, only enable: Profile, Draggable_Widgets (fresh download & upload to Leaseweb) and Bookmarks (test widget)
  
• Still same problem...

It seems not to call the add.php... really confusing...permissions and all seem ok...

I have only been using elgg for 36hrs since finding out about it, getting truly excitied about the boundless possibilities and whilst I have this plugin working great guns in my site for end users, is there anyway to make the Admin Site>Tools Admin (Where plugins stored) have this ability of this plugin?

It's so awkward when we have 50+ plugins and I am now learning some have to be at the top, the bottom or beneath one another and that is like 45mins+ to move them by clicking the , top, up, down, bottom links, frankly fiddly and a pain :(

Still an amazing platform though. :)

Regards,

@Jeroen: Thanks for your effort:

I replaced in add.php as per your directions:

    require_once($_SERVER["DOCUMENT_ROOT"] . "/engine/start.php");

with

    require_once(dirname(dirname(dirname(dirname(__FILE__)))) . "/engine/start.php");

and it runs fine now:)

Thanks!

Ah ha, I have finally found out of the exhaustive list of widget's my site now have, where the "Add a new Widget" it doesn't action the user click, can anybody help guide me as to why this maybe happening or how I can find out?

Regards,

@Rob is your site  in a subfolder? like domain.com/subfolder

If that is the case then you need to change in add.php in the actions folder
    require_once($_SERVER["DOCUMENT_ROOT"] . "/engine/start.php");
with
    require_once(dirname(dirname(dirname(dirname(__FILE__)))) . "/engine/start.php");

Let me know if this solved it

@jeroen: just an idea for extra functionality:

What about two extra input lines in the setting of D&D where admin can list:

1. List of all the Widgets that users are not allowed to dragged/move
   
2. List of widgets that users can not delete (makes widgets sticky)

Sounds easy way to have a little control of add-placing widgets, must-see newsletters etc.

@tom

great ideas, would be nice to see those function on this mod.

@jeroen

just a quick thought, would it be possible to extend this mod to the module list in admin, so they could be reordered by dragging up and down?

I just wanted to add a big +++++++++ plus for this widget

Great plugin, great work, a big Thank You from all our members
