Instantiate the widgets somewhere in your code and then include them in
the tg.include_widgets config variable, like so:
tg.include_widgets = [
'turbogears.mochikit',
'myproject.sitewidgets.mywidget',
'myproject.sitewidgets.myotherwidget'
]
You can do this in your code without the need to touch the config files:
from turbogears import config
def register_widgets(widgets, pkg_name):
"""Include site-wide widgets on every page.
'widgets' is a list of widget instance names.
Order of the widget names is important for proper inclusion
of JavaScript and CSS.
The named widget instances have to be instantiated in
some of your modules.
'pkg_name' is the name of your Python module/package, in which
the widget instances are defined.
"""
# first get widgets listed in the config files
include_widgets = config.get('tg.include_widgets', [])
# then append given list of widgets
for widget in widgets:
include_widgets.append('%s.%s' % (pkg_name, widget))
config.update({'global': {'tg.include_widgets': include_widgets}})
_sitewidgets = [
'mywidget',
'myotherwidget'
]
register_widgets(_sitewidgets, 'myproject.sitewidgets')

Yes, the widgets must be either in the dict retrned from your
controlller method or inluded in tg.include_widgets for the automatic
inclusion of JS/CSS to work.
