Look at this code.
Perhaps, you want to learn docs.
it didnot work for me can you try it ? it is very confusing i found this code :-
function dashboard_init() {elgg_register_plugin_hook_handler('get_list', 'default_widgets', 'dashboard_default_widgets');}function dashboard_default_widgets(\Elgg\Hook $hook) {$return = $hook->getValue();$return[] = ['name' => elgg_echo('dashboard'),'widget_context' => 'dashboard','widget_columns' => 3,'event' => 'create','entity_type' => 'user','entity_subtype' => ELGG_ENTITIES_ANY_VALUE,];return $return;}return function() {elgg_register_event_handler('init', 'system', 'dashboard_init');};but it turned out it just add new configuration tab in configure => utilites=> default widget for my new page in admin page to add deafult widgets in user page without his interface by default . but how i add the add widget menu or button with the gear icon in my new page like happening in dashboard page or profile page till now i donot know
if you draw a 'widget' layout (like done in https://github.com/Elgg/Elgg/blob/a836dda6e17954f8825c728d69b6113e38a01332/mod/dashboard/views/default/resources/dashboard.php#L5-L11) the function 'elgg_can_edit_widget_layout()' is called which triggers a hook to allow users to add widgets when the function returns TRUE.
