Where are widgets stored?

  • Im away from home and only have access to mobile devices, and none of those allow me to create a widget. Can’t drag the html element into the (say) header section. Thats not working in mobile or ‘Desktop mode’ mobile, as the touch screen wont grab the item like a mouse click does.
    I was curious if I can create this widget directly as can SSH into my nodebb file system. So question:
    Is Widget code stored in the MongoDB database, or is it just a file in the NodeBB file system?
    In principle can I create a file that would then be picked up as a Widget. I guess if it is stored as a file, somewhere it must say what category and position on screen it applies to.

    @Panda widgets are stored in the Mongo database. I can set the widget up for you if you PM me site details etc.

    A more efficient way of including this would be to not over complicate it and leverage a standard iframe (providing the CSP headers of the remote site permit this) like below <iframe src="https://www.classmarker.com/online-test/start/?quiz=gag66aea7922f0a5" width="700" height="800"></iframe> This works first time every time on your site as intended.

    @crazycells Agreed. It takes a more sensible approach. Nobody ever upvotes the first post - it’s usually much further down as the conversation progresses.

    @Panda category is for a category in its own, so for example, “fruit” whereas categories is the page that contains all categories as a list.

    @phenomlab I find the problem Mark The error message indicated this path : http://localhost:4567/assets/plugins/nodebb-plugin-emoji/emoji/styles.css?v=6983dobg16u I change the path url on config.json [image: 1645128773854-47bacc80-f141-41e4-a261-3f8d650cc6f6-image.png] And all it’s good Weird, I didn’t have to change that path before 1.19.3 But this does not prevent the problem from a clean install with Emoji Plugin EDIT: After test, that resolv the problem installation for 1.18.x but not for 1.19.x (I have other error message when I run ./nodebb Setup For resume: NodeJS 16_x with 1.18.x is ok
