[oae-dev] Enabling/disabling widgets [Was: Sakai3 Hybrid Installation problems]

Fri, 04 May 2012 11:33:48 -0700

Sorry to hijack this conversation. I hadn't seen the enabledDashboardWidgets property in config.js yet, and so digged in to the origin of this property, as having to enable the widget in the central config file seems odd. It looks like this was introduced in SAKIII-4856, and I've got a feeling that this should have never been merged.
Every widget already has an enabled property and a property that determines whether or not the widget is available for the personal dashboard. It doesn't feel right to have 2 places where this can be configured and the problems Nico is having indicate that it adds confusion for deployment. My guess is that this patch was created because it's currently not straightforward enough to enable/disable at runtime, but it might be the wrong solution to the problem. Coming back to the thread that Duffy started, we would be able to put a very simple administrative UI on top of this if we just fixed the Sling- Initial-Content problem for widgets. 


Widget config files are going to be a part of the upcoming UI work  
anyway (as we have unused properties in there right now and need to be  
looking at configurability). Does it seem reasonable to pencil in the  
SAKIII-4856 fix for a revert? If so, I'll go ahead and create a JIRA  
for it.

Kind regards,
Nicolaas

Hi Nico,


I digged a bit deeper and it seems like you need to add "mysakai2"  
to the following array in /dev/config.js:

enabledDashboardWidgets

Hey Nico,



Do you see the My Sakai 2 favorites widget in the list when you  
click "Add widgets" on the dashboard?



If not, can you browse to http://localhost:8080/devwidgets/mysakai2/config.json 
 and verify that the personalportal variable is set to true there  
as well?

I assume that you checked the config.json on your local filesystem.

Hi All


I'm trying to get a Hybrid installation of sakai3 and sakai2  
working.



I took the nightly.sh found in the documentation @ https://confluence.sakaiproject.org/display/KERNDOC/Building+and+Configuring+a+Hybrid+Deployment 
, and changed it to make it work on my server.



I get sakai3 up and running, can login as admin user and are busy  
with the troubleshooting at the bottom of the page.



I get pass points 1,2,3,4,5, but the "My Sakai 2 Favourite" widget  
is not showing up in the admin user's dashboard (piont 6).  I have  
checked the  devwidgets/mysakai2/config.json in 3sakai-ux and  
everything looks fine there:

{
   "i18n": {
       "default": {

           "bundle": "/devwidgets/mysakai2/bundles/ 
default.properties",

           "name":" My Sakai 2 favorites",
           "description":" My Sakai 2 favorites"
       },
       "en_GB": {

           "bundle": "/devwidgets/mysakai2/bundles/ 
en_GB.properties",

           "name":"My Sakai 2 favourites",
           "description":"My Sakai 2 favourites"
       }
   },
   "img":"/devwidgets/mysakai2/images/s2icon.png",
   "id":"mysakai2",
   "personalportal":true,
   "type":"sakai",
   "enabled":true,
   "hasSettings":false,
   "url":"/devwidgets/mysakai2/mysakai2.html"
}


Can someone point me in the right direction?

Thanks
