Hey Harry,
They will indeed have the same effect, but ${widgets.main} will be replaced by
the configuration files (config.js/custom_config.js)
Right now it's under
sakai.config.explore.widgets
and looks like this:
explore : {
oneRow: false,
widgets: {
rightColumn: "recentactivity",
main: "welcome",
bottom: "featuredcontent"
}
}
This allows institutions which widgets they want to show.
In this particular case it would probably have been better to do the following:
{if widgets.main}<div id="widget_${widgets.main}"
class="widget_inline"></div>{/if}
That way, we would only load the main widget if it was actually defined and we
wouldn't need to change the html file.
I opened a jira to address this at [1].
Hope this helps
- Christian
