Re: UploadField in Widgets SS v3.5

Sun, 09 Jul 2017 23:43:21 +1200

This is a very frustrating bug I agree. Given the lack of activity on what appears to be a very common scenario, is it fair to assume that it has been fixed for v4?

UploadField in Widgets SS v3.5

Tue, 30 May 2017 02:24:42 +1200

Hi there,

I know this has probably come up a lot as I've seen a few threads already after much googling... but how can I make an UploadField work within a widget?

Currently I'm getting a fatal error message and it would seem that the UploadField on widget cms fields are a no-go. Does anyone have a workaround that doesn't just simply use a dropdownfield mapped to the uploaded files table?

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Cheers

Pete

Re: Tried installing Widgets – now getting a 500 error and can't fix!

Sat, 13 May 2017 05:02:26 +1200

Hi,
You only need to do a dev/build if you added or removed database fields. Dev/build will update the database for you.

When you change config settings just add ?flush=1 to your site url, that should work.

Sometimes it can be helpfull to just empty the entire SilverStripe cache if an error doesn't want to go away. To that purpose SilverStripe offers the option to put a folder silverstripe-cache in your site root (writable). Silverstripe will automatically put its cache there, and you can then clear that folder if you need to.

Also: check if your site is in 'dev' mode, that may give you more verbose errormessages. https://docs.silverstripe.org/en/3/developer_guides/debugging/environment_types/

Tried installing Widgets – now getting a 500 error and can't fix!

Thu, 11 May 2017 22:53:01 +1200

Hi.

I have been working with the Blog module in my localhost dev site and decided that I needed to add a category menu with the blog category widget. I installed the Widgets module but the Widgets tab didn't appear in the CMS for my blog page.

From the instructions at https://github.com/silverstripe/silverstripe-widgets/blob/master/docs/en/getting-started.md, I realised that I needed to enable the WidgetPageExtension by adding the supplied lines to the config.yml file. This I did, ran a /dev/build and, since then, I've been getting a 500 error. I've removed the lines from config.yml but, since I can't re-run a /dev/build, I can't get back to my site. I've cleared the browser cache but that does nothing. Other localhost sites are running fine.

I am (or at least was!) running SS 3.4.1 via WAMP.

Please help 'cos I'm completely stuck! Thanks.

This had me stumped too. But your responses certainly helped lead me in the right direction.

I added the following to my mysite/_config/config.yml file:

---
Name: mysite
After:
- 'framework/*'
- 'cms/*'
---
# YAML configuration for SilverStripe
# See http://doc.silverstripe.org/framework/en/topics/configuration
# Caution: Indentation through two spaces, not tabs
SSViewer:
theme: 'scg'
SiteConfig:
extensions:
- SiteConfigExtension
BlogHolder:
extensions:
- WidgetPageExtension
Page:
extensions:
- WidgetPageExtension

I ran /dev/build?flush and the next time I entered the Admin the widget tab was available to the Blog and Page sections.

Hi @Skullies,

BlogTag has a function BlogPosts() which returns all the Blogposts with that Tag assigned to it.

So in the template when looping the BlogTag you can use

$BlogPosts.Count() which returns the number of posts that has the assigned.

Thanks

Hi all
I am pretty sure this will be a easy thing to get working just cant seem to get my head wrapped around the issue
basically what I need to do is have the blog tags grow in size with the amount that blogs that reference the tag

so basically the tag that has the most blogs in will be the biggest.
I know that I will have to do a query and have a count
If anyone has a suggestion it would be appreciated

Use the $Debug variable in the template to output useful info on the variables available.
Another thing to consider is that your template code may be inside a loop which means it may have gone out of scope

Not sure if this has been covered before, and Had tried to search the web. But I am looking at using the $SideBarView variable, especially when trying to determine a template layout, so for example:

However, I am trying to use this at the base Page.ss layout with no luck. Ideally I have a few different Layout templates to deal with so was wondering if anyone can point me in a good direction, to kind of determine in a more 'global' way of determining if the SideBar view should exist or not?

Mon, 07 Sep 2015 09:09:19 +1200

Hi Phyma,

I'm not sure the Event-Calendar add-on works in this way, I could be wrong.
The reason I say this is because the CalendarWidget.php file doesnt extend Widget, instead it extends ViewableData.

Does the widget work within another location?

I did manage to find some information about the widget not working back in SS 2.4 (all I could find).
The forum post below might help out.

How to install a widget?

I can see the widget list with 4 widgets from the blog.
But I want a fifth one the event_calendar widget.

I have installed the event_calendar module and have a working calendar but I cant get the widget to be added to the widget list.

Thanks for your reply! I managed to fix it by removing the

Also, yes, I was referring to the Facebook API.

By API version you are referring to Facebook, right?
SS2.4 support was discontinued in March. The widget might be far out of date if you're not talking about facebook.

Facebook Feed Widget

Mon, 03 Aug 2015 15:02:17 +1200

Hi guys,

I've installed this https://github.com/shoaibali/Facebook-Wall-Feed-widget-for-SilverStripe Facebook Feed widget, which seems to work fine on one of my apps that's running API version 2.0, but not on another running 2.4 (nothing shows up). I'm sure I have the App Id, Secret, Access tokens all right, and the settings within the app itself are the same as my previous app.

Any idea what could be causing this? I had thought there would be support for the 2.0 API up until at least next year.

Cheers, Finn.

Re: SS3 Widget Module/WidgetAreaEditor Breaks CMS AJAX Functionality

Mon, 12 Jan 2015 16:57:31 +1300

I've diagnosed and resolved the cause of this issue. It's mandatory that all files have a new line at the end. I don't know whether the culprit in my case was one of the PHP files or a .yaml or a _config ... but I made sure all the files ended with a new line and the bug disappeared (I do regard it as a bug - so far as I've been able to discover, the new line isn't a documented requirement).

Widget in Footer.ss

Mon, 08 Dec 2014 16:40:50 +1300

I am wanting to including the lastest blog posts widget in my includes/footer.ss to display the lastest blogs posts there.

But for the life of me I can't get it to work.

I have:
silverstripe-blog
widgets
widget-latestposts

Latest posts display in my sidebar on all my pages. Yey. Did something right.

But I only just want to display the latest blog posts widget in footer, not all the sidebar widgets.

Have tried $LatestPosts etc etc - to no avail.

Silverstripe version 3.1.5

I read the widget github page: https://github.com/silverstripe/silverstripe-widgets

But the Rendering a widget individually puts my site in error once I put $SilverStripeFeed in my footer.ss

I am not sure if that page is current or not as :

s directed in the definition of SilverStripeFeed(), the Widget will be rendered through the WidgetHolder template. This is pre-defined at framework/templates/WidgetHolder.ss and simply consists of:

:::ss
<div class="WidgetHolder">
<h3>$Title</h3>
$Content
</div>
You can override the WidgetHolder.ss and Widget.ss templates in your theme too by adding WidgetHolder and Widget templates to themes/myThemeName/templates/Includes/

I had to put those files in templates includes from widget - but still did not work :(

I very eagerly hope there is a very easy fix to my problem.

I want to use the space of the h3 title of the archive widget to use it as a button to toggle the slide up and down of its content for the mobile version of a site. I just can't find the place to add a div to it. As the h3 is not contained in the template I guess it's being generated with .php? Is there a way to add a div class containing the title to be able to target it with javascript?

Hey there,

I finally found a weird solution and I figured I should share it with the next one having the problem. I added the code to /mysite/_config/config.yml BUT I made a fresh install in another server. That worked! Interstingly enough, following the same steps in the first server didn't help. So I deleted the files of the server, copied and pasted the files from the second one (included .htaccess, which filezilla didn't recognize) and imported the database. Not elegant at all, but it worked!

Hide widgets type

Posted to: Hide widgets type | Show Thread | Post Reply

Re: In Admin Only Show Widget on Certain Pagetypes

Sat, 06 Sep 2014 01:34:21 +1200

Ok, so after a LOT of trial and error and a LOT of thinking about this I've finally come up with a fairly satisfactory solution.

First of all I created a DataExtension for UserDefinedForm.

In this DataExtension I added a new widget area, just for user defined form page types.

This then enabled me to use the $only_available_in property in my widget(s) to specify which widget area (rather than page type) they should be available in. I also removed the default widget area ('$fields->removeByName('Widgets');') so I didn't have them both showing up in the admin interface.

Finally, in my 'templates/[my-theme]/templates/Layout/Page.ss' file I added a simple conditional block to only output the user defined form widgets if the page type was 'UserDefinedForm':

<% if ClassName = UserDefinedForm %>
$UserDefinedFormWidgetArea
<% end_if %>

It's not as simple or elegant as I would like, but it works. It would be much better if widgets had a $allowed_page_types property (so you can just specify an array of page types you want the widget available on), but my knowledge doesn't go far enough to know how to set that up.

Anyway, I hope my example above helps others with a similar problem.

Re: In Admin Only Show Widget on Certain Pagetypes

Fri, 05 Sep 2014 22:43:15 +1200

I've looked into this a bit further and it turns out '$only_available_in' is for widget areas, not for page types. So if you have a sidebar widget area and a footer widget area you can make sure certain widgets are only shown in one or the other.

So, my problem still remains - how can I stop a widget from being shown on a particular page type?

Here's a more specific example:

I am using the userforms module. It inherits all the functionality of my 'Page' pagetype. This is fine, but there is one widget I don't want available on a UserDefinedForm page.

Any help would be gratefully received.

Thanks Willr.

I've tried your suggestions and it's still not working. Basically the widget doesn't appear in the available widgets area when I add that line of code (and I've doubled checked I am on a page with the correct pagetype).

My set up is as follows. I have a pagetype that extends Page, called PageHolder. My widget allows you to list child pages in the widget area. The bare bones of my widget code is as follows:

<?php

class PageHolderListPlacementWidget extends Widget
{
static $cmsTitle = 'Page Holder List Placement Widget';
static $description = 'This widget allows you to position a Page Holder list on the page.';
private static $only_available_in = array('PageHolder');

// The rest of my widget code...

Let me know if you think of anything else?

$only_available_in looks to be what you want (https://github.com/silverstripe/silverstripe-widgets/blob/master/code/model/Widget.php#L30) I would check to ensure you have marked it as private, got the latest version of widgets module and you've done a flush.

If you want to add the widget area to holder pages also, here's the code:

BlogHolder:

Hope that helps.

I have the same problem. Organizing the fields in Tabs does not work. All fields are displayed well. No errors on submit. Nut no value stored in the database, only the default values.

In my case I am using ss 3.0.5 since I can´t get widgets to work on 3.1.1. I don´t care about that, 3.0.5 is still ok, if it works.

Installed the widgets module.
Created new widget Widget1 and Widget2
Created a widget extension for both Widget1 and Widget2

Re: Widgets Tab missing for Blog in SS3.1

Looks like it is necessary to explicitly add the widget extension to BlogHolder… Is this a bug or deliberate?

:::yml
BlogHolder:
extensions:
- WidgetPageExtension

Widgets Tab missing for Blog in SS3.1

Wed, 30 Oct 2013 08:18:16 +1300

Hi,

Since migrating to SS3.1, I can't see my widgets tab in the blog holder page anymore.

I use composer to update all modules, and so should have all the latest modules, framework & CMS:

{
   "name": "silverstripe/installer",
   "description": "The SilverStripe Framework Installer",
   "require": {
      "php": ">=5.3.2",
      "silverstripe/cms": "3.1.*@dev",
      "silverstripe/framework": "3.1.*@dev",
      "silverstripe-themes/simple": "*",
"silverstripe/userforms": "dev-master",
"silverstripe/blog": "dev-master",
"silverstripe/widgets": "dev-master",
"undefinedoffset/sortablegridfield": "dev-master",
"silverstripe/googlesitemaps": "dev-master"
   },
   "require-dev": {
      "silverstripe/docsviewer": "*"
   },
   "minimum-stability": "dev"
}

Any idea why I can't see the Widgets tab please? When building a SS3.0 site, all that needed to be done was to have both modules installed, dev/build?flush=all, add a blog holder and voilá the Widgets tab was there. Are there any special steps involved in getting Widgets working with the blog (and the Widget tab visible) with SS3.1?

Thanks.
VWD.

Re: Installing widgets, block BlogHolder pages from being able to load in CMS

I have had a number of issues with SS modules and such lately.. and have found the forum near dead for help.. so ..
I have moved on. I have some live sites that have become 1/2 broken.. but only from the backend.. so I am leaving them as is.. and working on replacements, it was time for an update anyway.. just trying to decide it SS3 is going to be the way forward.

widgets are not clickable.

Thu, 19 Sep 2013 04:32:03 +1200

I see a large list of available widgets and the text: "Click a widget title below to use it on this page."
But all my widgets are just plain text. Clicking them doesnt seem to do a thing about it... it this normal?

Thanks!

Re: Cant get Widgets to work

Im having a problem with widgets in 3.0.5.
The widgets page shows available widgets, and it says i should click them to add them. But they are not clickable at all. Seems like something is missing.

Any clues?

Thanks

Re: Multiple Widget Areas. What problem?

Wed, 04 Sep 2013 06:52:33 +1200

I tried this in 3.1-rc1:

HomePage.php

   private static $has_one = array(
      'MainWidgetArea' => 'WidgetArea',
      'SidebarWidgetArea' => 'WidgetArea'
   );

   public function getCMSFields(){
      $fields = parent::getCMSFields();
      $fields->addFieldToTab('Root.Widgets', new WidgetAreaEditor('MainWidgetArea'));
      $fields->addFieldToTab('Root.Sidebar', new WidgetAreaEditor('SidebarWidgetArea'));
      return $fields;
   }

and a template HomePage.ss which reads like this:

<div class="content-container unit size3of4 lastUnit">
<div>
$MainWidgetArea
</div>
<div class="content">$Content</div>
<div>
$Form
$PageComments
</div>
<aside>
$SidebarWidgetArea
</aside>
</div>

Then, I added/removed widgets (wrote two sample widgets that return a string) in the admin-section and experienced strange behavior:

Log in to ss/admin
create page "HomePage"
define Widget 'weather forecast' for Widet-Area
publish
display page: weather widget is shown
define Widget "facebook messages" for "Sidebar"-Widget Area
publish
display page: both template blocks are shown, but only the weather-widget shows the output from the widget-Controller
admin: delete widget from main widget area
publish
display page: only the facebook-message widget is shown, but now includes the text, which is returned by the Widget-Controller
admin: exchange the facebook messages in the sidebar with the weather widget and put the facbook widget into the main widget-area
publish
display page:both template blocks are shown but this time only the facebook message widget displays the text returned by the widget-ontroler
admin: remove the facebook message widget
publish
display: whe facebook widget ist gone, the thext for the weather widget is shown

From this experience, I concluded that either I misunderstood the widget/template-mechanism or the widget is broken.
