How to add new widgets? about cms HOT 19 CLOSED

Insert directly into db:

                        $widget = ORM::factory('widget');
                        $widget->name = 'blog/recent'; //name must be unique
                        $widget->title = 'Recent Blogs';
                        $widget->module = 'blog';
                        $widget->save();

Create a class extends widget class:

classes/widget/blog.php

class Widget_Blog extends Widget {

    public function info()
    {
    }
    
    public function form()
    {
    }

    public function save( array $post )
    {
        //Message::debug( Debug::vars($post) );
    }

    public function delete( array $post )
    {
    }
    
    public function render()
    {
        switch($this->name)
                {
                        case 'recent':
                                return $this->recent_blogs($this->widget);
                        break;
                case 'popular':
                                return $this->blog($this->widget);
                        break;
                        default:
                                return;
                }
    }
    
        public function recent_blogs($widget)
        {
                // Dont show the widget on edit or delete actions.
        if( Request::current()->action() == 'edit' OR Request::current()->action() == 'delete' )
            return false;

            $blogs = ORM::factory('blog')
                    ->where('status', '=', 'publish')
                    ->order_by('created', 'DESC')

    
        return View::factory('blog/widget/list')->set('posts', $blogs);
        }

}

For static widgets, you can add directly from admin/widgets/add

from cms.

This exists in Wiki?

GitHub Wikis are the simplest way to let others contribute content. Any GitHub user can create and edit pages to use for documentation, examples, support or anything you wish.

@sandeepone I think I'm having problems with the widgets ... Can you give a more detailed example?

from cms.

Please explain your problem, show the code.. it would be easy for me

from cms.

Here is the order of my actions:

1. Inserted directly into db:

$widget = ORM::factory('widget');
$widget->name = 'post/recent';
$widget->title = 'Recent Postss';
$widget->module = 'post';
$widget->save();

2. Created a class /modules/gleez/classes/widget/post.php with the following content:

<?php defined('SYSPATH') OR die('No direct access allowed.');

class Widget_Post extends Widget {

  public function info(){}
  public function form(){}
  public function save(array $post){}
  public function delete(array $post){}

  public function render()
  {
    switch($this->name)
    {
      case 'recent':
        return $this->get_recent_posts($widget);
      break;
      default:
        return;
    }
  }

  public function get_recent_posts($widget)
  {
    if(Request::current()->action() == 'edit' OR Request::current()->action() == 'delete')
    {
      return FALSE;
    }

    $posts = ORM::factory('post')
            ->where('status', '=', 'publish')
            ->order_by('created', 'DESC');

    return View::factory('widgets/posts/list')
                ->set('posts', $posts);
  }

}

3. Created a view /modules/gleez/views/widgets/post/list.php:

<?php defined("SYSPATH") OR die("No direct script access.");?>

<p>
  Hello world! <!-- nothing happens -->
</p>
<?php 
  echo Debug::vars(posts); // nothing happens
?>

4. Go to address localhost/admin/widgets
5. Enabled widget (yes, there, in the list of widgets, it appears)

nothing happens...

P.S. I use my personal theme, but it is designed in the likeness fluid with small changes. The log journal there is nothing worthy of attention.

so, that with this? :(

from cms.

Sorry for being late replies. I returned from vacation today. The code seems correct, i'll run the code and test to see why it's not working.

@sergeyklay please send any important pull requests, i'm working on pushing lot of changes, so manual merge is needed.

from cms.

I really hope that we will solve this problem..

from cms.

Sorry for delaying.. Doing some code cleanup.. will do it today itself..

from cms.

Hope the issue fixed. Can i close this here??

from cms.

Yes, Thanks! For edit/update the documentation on the wiki, we will create a separate issue

from cms.
