askvortsov

Kylo wow this is beautiful! Thanks for yet another awesome contribution to the flarum ecosystem! 😁

Gatsu

Kylo Thank you very much, it's beatiful.
How can I translate it?

Kylo

Kyrne thanks Kyrne, actually it's nothing but bunch of flexboxes 😄

katos

Kyrne Can confirm. This is indeed awesome.

Thanks for the extension @Kylo ! 🙂

Kylo it's nothing but bunch of flexboxes

Simplicity is the main ingredient of all true elegance.

Wonderful!

Would it be possible to add options to switch locations of those widgets?

In my mind, I see the UserCard being right above or under the “Start a Discussion” button and the rest of the cards underneath the DiscussionList or ideally inside the footer 👀

BEAUTIFUL extension btw! 😃 Really loving widgets making a comeback ❤️

Kylo

Thanks everyone!

Ralkage I'm not sure how to handle this kind of feature because there are too many places and combinations to choose. Since we don't have anything like drag & drop page builder, I think I'll encourage others to fork this extension until we come up with the solution 😕.

Nice work. I won't want to show negative readings though. It looks good that forum has gone through a positive phase.

SecurityDog

Great job, directly installed and I already love it 🙂

Ralkage

Kylo I’m not gonna lie, I think I might just take one out of your book and adapt that widget/card style to my Forum Statistics Widget. If you don’t mind of course 👀👌

Kylo

Thanks askvortsov, it is literally nothing compared to yours

Ralkage Go ahead!! Treat it like it is one of your own

Pity really, as this extension looks great in my dev environment (local login) but obviously doesn't work in prod because of the fact I'm using SSO. Would love to see this working for SSO external id providers !!

Kylo

[deleted] Actually I can show them without percentage changes but it's like the main feature of this extension 😅

[deleted]

Kylo perhaps you should just so those of is who leverage SSO can still enjoy this marvelous extension. I'm sure there are going to be hundreds like me 😁

I love this. It’s neat. Anything that is “neat” could get your forum more members. BUT! Especially on mobile, I don’t want to have to scroll past it every time to get to the posts. It needs to be at the bottom of the forum, or, it’s own page. Kind of like tags is it’s own page. But hey, that’s just like, my opinion man. 😉

010101 nothing a bit of CSS can't fix

Kylo

010101 someone was asked me for a feature to hide widgets either automatically after X seconds or by clicking a close button so that won't show up until next login. I'm still thinking about the best way to implement this 'hiding' feature (I need more opinions!!) which, I believe, will solve that mobile issue.

And for upcoming releases, I may take a step further and move them into their own page with more graphical informations (like you see in the dashboard). So we can have numerical representation of changes in the widgets and graphical things in, say, Statistics page.

[deleted] okay let's unlock them in the next one just to show forum statistics.

Ralkage

010101 I agree on the first part 🙂, it's a bit tricky for tablets though because the widget/sidnav gets relocated under the hero and DiscussionList. With XenForo, they make it so that all widgets display on the bottom on mobile which shouldn't be too difficult to add CSS for since we can specifically target devices.

The UserCard Welcome widget should remain on the top though because it's exactly where it shold be.

The other 3 should go on the bottom and I will most likely do the same for my extension for mobile devices.
