Where are widgets stored?

Solved Configure
  • Pandaundefined

    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.

    @kadir-ay-0 marking as resolved based on https://community.nodebb.org/topic/17109/manual-build-a-night-mode-for-harmony/5 Please do not raise requests in two places - here and the NodeBB forums. All this does is create unnecessary load for both parties.

    @crazycells hmm. That’s odd. I haven’t made any changes from recollection but I could be wrong. I’ll need to check. EDIT - very strange. I honestly don’t recall adding the below CSS block to alter the bottom bar, but you’re right… .bottombar-nav { padding: 0px !important; } I’ve removed this so it reflects stock Harmony.

    @Panda You’ll need to do that with js. With some quick CSS changes, it looks like this [image: 1690796279348-d619844f-fbfe-4cf1-a283-6b7364f6bf18-image.png] The colour choice is still really hard on the eye, but at least you can now read the text

    @Panda you’d be surprised. If you consider that you’d need to use the API to be able to populate a WordPress widget for example (which in turn would of course be PHP), taking this route is still immensely popular.

    @phenomlab Ah, got it working! I reversed the CSS addition to put z index high, and then I could see another error box saying fork title must be at least 3 characters. So made the new fork title longer and button responded.

    @Panda said in Smart Widgets: So why is that, or conversely why would the function to expose username ever be required, as it seems app.user is already an available global object? It is, yes, but not if you are using it outside of a widget. The function I wrote is also historical and comes from the 2.x train

    @cagatay you’ll need to define this in the body tag (or another element if you want greater or more granular targets) - for example body { font-family: "Poppins"; font-size: 16px; } Essentially, you use the font-size CSS directive.
