I am unable to add any widget in 'Extra widget context' pages. Whenever I try to add a widget on the page, the system gives an error: "we could not add your widget".

The existing widgets in the widget pages that are made with Widget Manager 5.0 are working fine. Also I'm able to add widgets to all other places except the 'Extra widget context' pages.

I'm running Elgg 2.3

@darthvader there is a bug indeed... it has already been fixed... this is the commit that fixed the bug: https://github.com/ColdTrick/widget_manager/commit/2ab28d38bc29e3435c9467b51cc9a8e4781d90d1

I will upload a new release to this community soon

Hi! 

I have a problem, how can I add the extra-pages , io don't see it when I add in the options of the plugin.

I would like to have something like the photo (the tabs). 

How can I do it ? thanks !

@Aldo Li Volsi I believe the extra pages setting in the Widget Manager plugin settings only adds the pagehandler and page but no menu entry. So, if you would for example add an extra page with the handler "extra_page" you could view this page by going to the url yoursite.url/extra_page and config the widgets to be displayed on this page from there. But if you would want to have a menu entry linking to this page you would have to add the menu entry on your own.

Thank you so much for your explanation, I'm not a programmer , do you think it's really difficult for me to add a menu entry on my own ?

Maybe you knows if there is some example that I can follow for doing it ?

really thanks! 

I miss just this thing for finishing my site.

Maybe there is another way, this is what i need: I have to add three/four pages with different RSS FEED from various sites/blogs/news and insert it into the menu.  

Do exists any way to do this , with other plugin or other way , without widget manager ?

thanks for your help!

Using the plugin Menu Builder i have had a new page, but I can't add the widgets in this new page. How can I do this ?

Maybe I get it, I used two plugin a) Menu Builder for add menu entries and b) Anypage plugin for create the page related to that meny entry. It seems works! 

Now I only need of a php script to add in the new page created with Anypage Plugin the RSS FEED of other site. Do you have a php script ?

if you have created a widget page, using widget_manager, you can easily add an RSS feed widget to that page to show any rss feed you want.

Hi Jeroen! Thanks for your answer! 

Can you write me the steps I have to do for add RSS Feed widget to the page created ?

I go to Widget Manager Option, click on the ADD BUTTON on Extra Pages and add a new Page, then what I have to do for seeing that page on Menù or at least on the Tabs? (I don't see the tabs)....

can you help me please ? thanks!!!

In the control panel of Widget Manager, clicking on the MANAGE button. i can add the widgets only on the Profile Page. Doesnt' appear other pages to add there the widgets. :-( 
 

In the plugin settings page of widget manager there should be a section called 'Extra widget contexts'. If that is missing, you do not have the latest version.

Ah ok, maybe this is the reason, where Can I find latest version ? Github ?  Really thanks!

Found ! I will try it! thanks !!!

Nothing, I have added a page clicking on ADD PAGE in the "Extra widget contexts" but don't see the page added ... How can I see it in the Menù for adding on it the widgets ?

thanks

As I already said in my previous posting, the page as such gets added (you should be able to view the page with the url yoursite.url/handlername - the handler name is what you have named the extra page when adding it) but there's no menu entry added. That's what you have to do yourself. If you use the Menu builder plugin, you could add a menu entry with it that links to the page you have added. Or you can add the menu entry as code (http://learn.elgg.org/en/stable/guides/menus.html) for exaxmple by registering the menu entry in the init function of your theme plugin. The configuration of the widgets to be displayed in the page is done on the page itself - which you would need to access to do the configuration.

Thanks! I got it ! Now I have the page added in the menu (with Menu Builder and Extra Widgets context), 

but now the problem is that I see only FIVE widgets to add in that page and  not all the widgets available.

Do you know why ?

Also use the Widget Pack plugin (https://github.com/ColdTrick/widget_pack/releases). Then you should probably have more widgets available.

Thanks! I try it now

Yes! Now appear all widgets (also the widget I need "Rss Feed") but when I click on ADD WIDGET (on any widget) it give me an error, appear a red write that says:"Impossibile to add your widget" 

what error is ? We are so near to solution! Please! Thanks!!

Here the image of the error:

The strange thing is that in the Index Page the widget can be added without problem. 

Ok i have found this... the problem is already known and already fixed. But I don't know how to fix it. the release 2.3 doesn't work.
