Support you. Such great toy could be beneficial to your forum, but may be quite slow in China.

v3.0.0 The new version is available. Changelog: Changed compatibility to work with NodeBB v1.11.0

@scottalanmiller Sure! My minecraft plugin does this. Using the action:widgets.loaded hook for loading the initial data and appending it via jQuery using the data-widget selector, then I update the data using websockets and/or a setTimeout with an ajax call.

@psychobunny ok https://github.com/NodeBB/NodeBB/issues/3777 NicolasSiver created this issue in NodeBB/NodeBB closed Let's extend themes with widgets #3777

@psychobunny have good holidays GH : https://github.com/NodeBB/NodeBB/issues/3743 panpansh created this issue in NodeBB/NodeBB closed Creating widget area work for ACP but not present in forum html #3743

Like this? https://github.com/NodeBB/nodebb-widget-essentials/blob/master/public/templates/widgets/activeusers.tpl This pre-renders the list of active users from server data. And then has some inline JS with socket call to update the list as new users become active

does this still work?

@sergej-saveljev said: @a_5mith \{posts.editor.username\} not work in widgets Is that available in the api on the page you're viewing the widget on. I'm pretty sure that's how it works. Pinging @psychobunny as it's his templates.js.

@julian :rage2:

I suppose we could add a widget area for the index page template...

For @planner, this script can be placed in the "Global Footer" widget area (or any other widget area present on all pages). It overrides the ajaxify method and returns anchors to their default operation, which is a regular page load. Get the script here

@Schamper hi ! Have you found where this problem come from ?

I just removed nodebb-theme-rocket and now the widgets are working. It seems like there was some kind of problem with that theme which screwed up the whole thing. Wierd.

Answer to self: enable the custom header and the global vars will be there. Sounds about right?

How to add more widget locations on home.tpl? I want add widget at the footer / header of home.tpl Not global footer.

Ran into this issue as well, used conditionals which Baris broke when everything switched over to loggedIn rather than isLoggedIn. Ah well, it's nice having every conditional the same anyways!

Depends, if you're doing largely front-end code (like embedding an iFrame to some chat application) then a widget works best. If you want to modify the API or save things into the database, then a plugin is right for you. I think your best bet is to figure out what you need to do, and then find a plugin that does something similar, and modify that plugin, or take code from it (it's open source afterall ;))

@a_5mith That's it! @psychobunny It was cache issues as usual, i should have learnt by now haha.
