html widgets can access template data in 1.6.1
-
I've wanted this for so long...
-
@djensen47 can you give some more details? What page are you looking at etc
-
I'm trying to insert some template data into an html widget. I'm currently looking at the homepage while testing this.
.... oh. But I'm still not sure how to get the user data like username.
-
@djensen47
ajaxify.data.loggedInUser.username
would beloggedInUser.username
in the template context. -
@djensen47 oh, huh. Appears
loggedInUser
isn't defined on the home page (/category listing). Odd. In that case, you'll have to provide that data yourself by hooking intofilter:<abc>.render
or adding the info to the widget itself.Otherwise you'll have to bug us to add that into core.

@PitaJ said in html widgets can access template data in 1.6.1:
adding the info to the widget itself.
I'm using the HTML widget, is there another way to get this data into the HTML widget?
-
@djensen47 Not at this time AFAIK
-
Looks like I can do it with JavaScript.

But lemmie tell you writing Javascript inside an HTML widget is a Pain In The Neck.
