Widgets Plus! v1.0
Release Notes
We were working on a client who wanted to use Elgg for employee portals. It needed to have some default google gadgets, but saving the config data on what they were (like whether they were stocks or calendars, not to mention giving them meaningful titles) is impossible with the built in plugin. Additionally, they wanted to lock some but allow the employee to add their own to personalize their portals, but again the existing plugin didn't do that. Widgets Plus! was created to meet all of these requirements, and it is a wonder why Elgg doesn't do this stuff natively.

Sounds cool! I am definitely gonna use this. ☺
this be the next best thingy since scrambled eggs... manifest says --> <field key="elgg_version" value="2010030101" /> && I see elgg function calls look like mostly vb1.7, with some older named functions.. me-thinks i is a-gonna work on code to ensure this will work with pre v1.7 versions ;-)
It was developed on 1.7; if you can help make it compatible with a wider range of versions, I'm all for including it in an update :)
Sounds very useful, but Elgg 1.7.1 gives me the following message after enabling Widget Plus;
You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'AND ((e.type = 'user')) AND (e.site_guid IN (1)) AND ( (1 = 1) and e.enabled=' at line 1
QUERY: SELECT DISTINCT e.* FROM elgg_entities e WHERE guid != AND ((e.type = 'user')) AND (e.site_guid IN (1)) AND ( (1 = 1) and e.enabled='yes') ORDER BY e.time_created desc
What might be wrong? (I'm only using standard plugins plus Plugin Manager, and Draggable Widgets).
on the tool manager, open widgets_plus's settings: you need to set the admin's GUID. it should default to 2 (which is the very first user who installed the site) and then save it.
Works now - thanks!
I simply have to have this!!! thanks for the effort and for sharing =)
Great plugin !
tried it on my test site, and found the following:
It doesnt work well with Profile Manager plugin. All my custom profile fields that were multiselect dropdowns, dissapeared from profile edit and registration. Tried ordering W+ before and after profile manager to no avail. Can this be fixed ? any ideas ?
I'm in launch mode for my site, and would really like to include W+ as it seems solid in all other tests. Other than the mentioned - everything works like a charm on elgg 1.7.1

ill look into it today and see if i can get you an update for compatability :)
Looks really good - can't wait for a 1.5 compatible version...
@knation any update for profile manager compatibility ?
new update available which fixes the profile manager issue and admin GUID setting default.
