Hello HARVS1789UK and oceanmountain,

I'm having the exact problem that you describe. Could you please explain mit some more detail how to solve the issue with this controller method? Unfortunately I'm not savvy enough to imply the concrete steps. Would really appreciate it!
Thanks for your time!

+1 for oceanmountain's solution!

This had been driving me crazy for ages as for some reason I was only seeing the issue (an empty widget which just showed the widget title and no content returned) when I had multiple widgets on the same page.

Even then if I had the widget at the top of the widget area (the first widget on the page) it would still work fine with the method in my model class rather than in my controller class :-S

Regardless as described above moving my method to the controller for all my widgets has solved the issue

Re: Second widget on page fails

You were right, it was using the blog theme although I renamed it like "theme_blogwashere". Weird.

I succesfully added a text which I can see, but the second widget is still not showing content. Here's the code:

<div class="BoxHeader">
<% if Title %><h7>$Title</h7><% end_if %>
</div>
<div class="sidebarBox WidgetHolder $ClassName<% if FirstLast %> $FirstLast<% end_if %>">
<p>This is a Test</p>
<div id="$ClassName">
$Content
</div>
<div class="clear"></div>
</div>
<div class="sidebarBottom"></div>

Am I doing something wrong?
Thank you so much for your help!

Are you double sure it is calling from that version of WidgetHolder.ss? Try adding in some test text to verify. A lot of widgets also come with their own WidgetHolder.ss file.

Thanks for the answer!

I changed WidgetHolder.ss from /widgets/templates like this:

<div class="WidgetHolder $ClassName<% if FirstLast %> $FirstLast<% end_if %>">
<% if Title %><h3>$Title</h3><% end_if %>
<div id="$ClassName">
$Content
</div>
</div>

Unfortunately still not working. I'm not using a blog theme, so that's the only WidgetHolder.ss I've got.

SS 3.x weather widget

Pike — Sun, 19 May 2013 01:15:09 +1200

I cannot add widget from url http://www.silverstripe.org/widgets/manage/add
for error: Security token doesn't match, possible CSRF attack.

So I'm put it here.

Weather Widget 0.0.1 for SilverStripe 3.x

Google silently kills popular API, breaks weather apps everywhere, so you need to sign up here http://www.wunderground.com/weather/api/?ref=twc
to obtain License Key and Partner ID.
To find location ID go to http://www.weather.com/forecast, e.g.: Kosice, Slovakia.
You'll see inn address bar
http://www.weather.com/weather/today/Kosice+LOXX0003:1:LO, so location ID is LOXX0003.
Then you can lookup anywhere in the world and provide wether for it.

Installation:
Read carefully https://github.com/silverstripe/silverstripe-widgets.
Make sure you have enabled widgets first to use (http://doc.silverstripe.org/widgets?s[]=widget#adding_widgets_to_other_pages)

1. extract this to your SilverStripe root directory widget_weather
2. run "dev/build?flush=all"
3. visit your page and drag and drop the widget to the right

I'm using https://github.com/twitter/bootstrap/, so template assumes bootstrap is loaded (jquery, js, css), becouse it uses bootstrap accordion.
You can rewrite template to your needs.

SSK — Fri, 10 May 2013 01:03:26 +1200

I currently have 4 widget areas on a homepage without any real problems. I just added some coding to manage them properly from the backend, which I did by adding sub-tabs to the Widgets tab (see picture). Otherwise all the widget areas get heaped up on one Widgets tab, and it's almost impossible to see which widget goes where...
This is the code for SS 3.05:

<?php
class HomePage extends Page {

static $has_one = array(
"HomeWidgetArea1" => "WidgetArea",
"HomeWidgetArea2" => "WidgetArea",
"HomeWidgetArea3" => "WidgetArea",
"HomeWidgetArea4" => "WidgetArea"
);

public function updateCMSFields(FieldList $fields) {
$fields->addFieldToTab('Root.Widgets', new TabSet('Tab1'),'Area1');
$fields->addFieldToTab('Root.Widgets', new TabSet('Tab2'),'Area2');
$fields->addFieldToTab('Root.Widgets', new TabSet('Tab3'),'Area3');
$fields->addFieldToTab('Root.Widgets', new TabSet('Tab4'),'Area4');
}
public function getCMSFields() {
$fields = parent::getCMSFields();
$fields->addFieldToTab("Root.Widgets.Area1", new WidgetAreaEditor("HomeWidgetArea1"));
$fields->addFieldToTab("Root.Widgets.Area2", new WidgetAreaEditor("HomeWidgetArea2"));
$fields->addFieldToTab("Root.Widgets.Area3", new WidgetAreaEditor("HomeWidgetArea3"));
$fields->addFieldToTab("Root.Widgets.Area4", new WidgetAreaEditor("HomeWidgetArea4"));
return $fields;
}

}

class HomePage_Controller extends Page_Controller {
}

Any luck with this problem? I'm having it too! I don't know exactly what you mean with the second widget - in my case it's the widget on the bottom of the widget space, that is the first that I add in the CMS. I can change the order, the one in the bottom won't show content.
I'd also be glad to hear some advice - thanks!

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

Hope you managed to fix it in the meantime..

Anyway, I had the same problem, and strangely got it working by just emptying the silvestripe cache. The error messages were about not finding the WidgetArea template, but I could see in the code that it did actually exist, and in fact nothing seems to have been wrong with the installation.

In case anyone else has the same problem I tracked this down to the Header -

This was the old header that killed linkedin
Content-Type: text/html; charset="utf-8"

This works fine for linkedin
Content-Type: text/html;

I just edited mysite/code/Page.php

class Page_Controller extends ContentController {

   public function init() {
      parent::init();
    $this->response->addHeader("Content-Type", "text/html");

   }

}

utf8 still set in template and all appears to be working/dispalying fine.

1) Widget class edit from private to public
2) WidgetArea class edit from private to public
3) WidgetContentControllerExtension edit from private to public

And this is solutions that work.

Hope this help.

   public static $has_many = array(

   );

But the new error :

Fatal error: Access level to Widget::$defaults must be public ..etc

Then i have to edit all private static to public static and in WidgetContentControllerExtension also public static $allowed_actions.

And then build will work.

When build is done, you will notice another error

After playing with code few hours, look light blog widget are not update,since php visibility method are not same like in the parent class.

I have used the new version from GitHub.

So i am back to expression engine !

MultiLingual Widgets in SS 3.x

zaucker — Tue, 26 Mar 2013 04:57:10 +1300

Hi,

I am wondering how to use the modules widgets and translatable together (in SS 3.x). I would like to either use different widgets or widgets with multilingual content on the different translations of the same page of a multilingual site. E.g., having a widget with various (external) links where the links on the German page would have link texts in German (and possibly link to a German document or site), the English page would have link texts in English (and link to English sites), etc.

Is this possible with widgets and translatable? If yes I'd appreciate a simple example ... and if no, anybody have a suggestion for a patch, some other solution, ...?

Thanks
Fritz

Hi!

I have a function inside a Widget that should return all the members of a given group. However, it seems to be impossible to loop through this function inside the widget. Once I put my function inside Page.php and loop through it in Page.ss I get the expected results. Putting it back in the Widget and nothing happens. How to get the widget to show the output aswell?

The code I am currently using (function getMembers):

The widget-template:

Thanks for such a quick reply. I tried installing the widget you linked to but when I try to add the widget to a page I get this error:

Error at line 568 of /home/amberlei/public_html/framework/model/MySQLDatabase.php

I also remember the widget as I used a modded version of it for a project I was working on last year. It works very well on SilverStripe 2.4.x but on SilverStripe 3.x I get the error mentioned above.

I don't suppose you have any ideas on what the problem could be?

Thanks again.

EDIT: I have checked the site and it is in dev mode, so any ideas where could I find more information?

Re: UploadField in Widget

I can only talk about the 2.4.x, but as I understand it widgets are a "port" from that code (i.e. not rediesigned since 2.4.x) and as such an uploadfield was unworkable in terms of the old system. So instead I created a LinkWidget (http://www.silverstripe.org/imagelinkwidget-widget/ - boy what a plug!) to link to uploads in the normal fashion.

Love to know this is fixed, but in case it isn't the above is the best workaround I know

Hi Guys,

I'm trying to add an 'UploadField' to a widget in SilverStripe 3.0, but can't seem to get anywhere with it.

I get the error:

Fatal error: Call to a member function FormAction() on a non-object in /home/amberlei/public_html/framework/forms/FormField.php on line 139

I know there was a similar error prior to SilverStripe 3.0 for the 'ImageField', but I thought it would be fixed in the newer version. Does anyone know how to successfully add an 'UploadField' in SS 3.0?

It would be nice to have this just work rather use a work around, but if that's necessary then that's cool.

Thanks in advance, any help is appreciated.

Linking Dataobjects in Widget

Azlein — Sun, 17 Feb 2013 03:08:45 +1300

Hi,

I'm trying to link some DataObjects to a Widget. In my particular case, I have

   static $has_many = array(
      'Buttons' => 'SocialButton'
   );

in my Widget and

   static $has_one = array(
      'Icon'=>'Image',
      'Widget'=>'SocialMediaWidget'
   );

in my DatabObject.

I'm trying to do this with a GridField, but this fails:

$fields = parent::getCMSFields();
$gridField = GridField::create('Buttons', 'Some text', $this->Buttons(), new GridFieldConfig_RelationEditor());//new GridField("Buttons", "Buttons", $this->Buttons(), $gridFieldConfig);
$fields->push($gridField); //This line causes a Internal Server Error

So, my question is - is it allowed to use a GridField in a Widget? If yes, why is the $fields->push call creating the error? If not, are there any alternatives?

Thanks in advance.

SS3 Widget Module/WidgetAreaEditor Breaks CMS AJAX Functionality

HARVS1789UK — Sat, 16 Feb 2013 00:02:06 +1300

I have a strange problem on the last two SS sites I have built (both are SS3.0.1 and above). I understand that the Widget Module is no longer packaged with a base SS install anymore so I have downloaded the Widget Module (https://github.com/silverstripe/silverstripe-widgets) and successfully installed it and created my own widgets etc.

I have given all my Pages the abillity to add Widgets and have this in my Page.php Class:

public static $has_one = array(
"MyWidgetArea" => "WidgetArea"
);

public function getCMSFields() {
$fields = parent::getCMSFields();
$fields->addFieldToTab("Root.Widgets", new WidgetAreaEditor("MyWidgetArea"));
return $fields;
}

The widget area itself works fine and I have no issues with it (with the exception of known bugs when using checkboxes etc) however, when I try to navigate to (or around the tabs within) a page in the CMS that uses the widget area the AJAX loading of that page fails. For example from the SiteTree page list I go to my 'Contact Us' page (which has a WidgetAreaEditor on it) the blue loading bar/overlay appears, ticks away, my URL gets updates and the overlay/loader disappear....but my page location is the same, the appropriate page content has not been loaded in.

Looking at the Network tab in Google Chrome I can see the correct request is being made and data returned with HTTP 200 OK message (see below screenshot), but then nothing happens.

I am certain it is related to Widgets as on all other CMS pages (e.g. Settings, Security etc) the AJAX loading works fine and on any pages where I remove the WidgetAreaEditor functionality it then loads the page correctly e.g. on a page where I want no Widgets configurable I have:

public function getCMSfields() {
$fields = parent::getCMSFields();
$fields->removeByName("Content");
$fields->removeFieldFromTab('Root', 'Widgets');
return $fields;
}

This is driving me crazy and obviously I can't hand the site over to the client and say "to use the CMS click on the appropriate page, then do a page reload because its broken!"

Any help would be much appreciated!

Cheers,

HARVS1789UK

Widgets on a Page

merrick_sd — Tue, 05 Feb 2013 01:55:43 +1300

How can i tell if a Page has 'any' widgets?

If a page has a widget the page will need a sidebar.

page.php

   public static $has_one = array(
   "MyWidgets" => "WidgetArea"
   );

Layout >Page.ss

<% if MyWidgets %>

$MyWidgets

<% else %>

$MyWidgets

<% end_if %>

result
On pages without widgets, no widgets show up as expected ...however the "if MyWidgets" isn't actually working! as the comment  Always get rendered.

maybe i need a fuction on Page.phpto do some kind of check.

i want to do something like
if widges show a menu <span class="span3"> ..etc

Contact form in widget (SS3)

nmshah — Wed, 16 Jan 2013 23:20:15 +1300

I am using silverstripe 3 and event_calendar module. I would like to add a contact us form on all the calender pages. I think the best way to do so is create a contact form widget and use it on all calendar pages.

Is there someone who has used contact forms in widget area or someone who can guide me in the right direction.

Silverstripe 3 requires you to install the Widgets module, have you done that?

Installing widgets in ver 3.0.3

albere — Fri, 04 Jan 2013 04:36:29 +1300

I've not used widgets in Silverstripe before. I've updated the site to the latest release 3.0.3 and attempted to install a widget following the various hints on this site. I have done /dev/build/?flush=1. There are two tables in the database "Widgets" and WidgetsArea". Both appear correctly setup but have no entries. Admin does not show the widget tab. The error I'm getting on the public site is:

"[User Error] DataObject::buildSQL: Can't find data classes (classes linked to tables) for WidgetArea. "

The widget I'm trying to use is in the following folder which I created:
http://mydomain.com/widgets/facebook_like_box

My /mysite/code/Page.php file looks like this:

<?php
class Page extends SiteTree {

public static $db = array(
);

public static $has_one = array(
"facebook_like_box" => "WidgetArea",
);

}
class Page_Controller extends ContentController {

   /**
    * An array of actions that can be accessed via a request. Each array element should be an action name, and the
    * permissions or conditions required to allow the user to access it.
    *
    * <code>
    * array (
    * 'action', // anyone can access this action
    * 'action' => true, // same as above
    * 'action' => 'ADMIN', // you must have ADMIN permissions to access this action
    * 'action' => '->checkAction' // you can only access this action if $this->checkAction() returns true
    * );
    * </code>
    *
    * @var array
    */
   public static $allowed_actions = array (
   );

public function init() {
parent::init();

      // Note: you should use SS template require tags inside your templates
      // instead of putting Requirements calls here. However these are
      // included so that our older themes still work
      Requirements::themedCSS('layout');
      Requirements::themedCSS('typography');
      Requirements::themedCSS('form');
   }

public function getCMSFields() {
$fields = parent::getCMSFields();
$fields->addFieldToTab("Root.Widgets", new WidgetAreaEditor("facebook_like_box"));
return $fields;
}

}

Any ideas much appreciated.

Thanks.

Second widget on page fails

Friksel — Thu, 20 Dec 2012 04:25:29 +1300

I use Silverstripe 3.0.3 stable release with the widgetmodule.
I've created several widgets wich function properly when used on a page.
But when I add several widgets to the same page the second widget fails.
I found out the functions are not being called of the second widget or that the objects not exist.

On this forum I also found this forum item:
http://www.silverstripe.org/widgets-2/show/20989
this seem to be the same problem.

Next to puting 2 widgets into one widgetarea, I also tried putting 2 widgetareas (each with one widget).
But that doesn't help.

Is there any solution to this? I really need to be able to show 2 widgets on a page!!

Hope you guys can help.

OK so the problem was fixed in the end buy taking out a bunch of customisations in the _config file, not by changing the Content widget at all.

The config file is now stripped right back to the original fresh instal version and all seems OK.

Thanks for the info on dev mode though Simon, goona need to employ that now re my next problem (http://www.silverstripe.org/general-questions/show/21727#post318797)

Cheers
