Widgets and Widgets Zones in 3.10

Hi,

Having just started developing nopCommerce (and having forked out for the User Guide, which is rather optimistically described as "is the definitive guide to installing, configuring, building, maintaining an e-commerce site using the nopCommerce" but fails in many areas especially if you are a developer) I wanted to know where all the widget zones where.
I was surprised to find there was no definitive list, so I thought I'd create one, for all you budding Widget developers out there.

Below are two lists. The first is just a list of the widget zones that are available. The second is a list of all the cshtml files in which they appear. The list is based on a new install of nopCommerce 3.10 - no additional plugins or themes.

To add a new widget zone, add a line like:

@Html.Widget("your_new_widget_zone_name")

to the appropriate .cshtml file, and return the same name in the

public IList<string> GetWidgetZones()

method in your Widget's Plugin class.

Hope you all find it useful. Please vote for this post if you do!

Great topic!

There's no 'definitive list', because you can add as many zone as you like by calling the @Html.Widget("ZONE_NAME") method at any place in the view, and this will create a new zone for injection.

In other words, while the original Views has their own Widget Zones, the themes can override these without any additional configuration. In short, Widget Zones are super flexible and is not tied to a specific configuration or list.

Hope this explains. :)

@rcianci - Thanks!

@woncherk
Yeah, I'd sort of guessed that. However, it's useful to have a starting point

cyberspy,

This list is very helpful and complete.

One thing I would like to know is where are these widgets defined?

Where would I go to see the coding of a specific widget?

Thanks,
Tony

Carneno,

They are created as plugins.

There are a couple that come with the source code.
Have a look in the Plugins folder - the one in the root of the solution, not the one in the Nop.Web project ( this is where plugins go when they have been compiled)

There are two there by default - Nop.Plugin.Widgets.GoogleAnalytics and Nop.Plugin.Widgets.NivoSlider
Have a look at the source code to see how it's done

You can also have a look at this tutorial on creating plugins:
https://www.nopcommerce.com/docs/77/how-to-write-a-nopcommerce-plugin.aspx

Documentation is not one of nopCommerce's strengths

Adam

Adam,

Thanks for your help.

I looked at the Nivo Slider plugin and cannot see where it says to display it as the first item in the body of the page.

When I look at _Root.Head.cshtml and see this "@Html.Widget("head_html_tag")", If I do a find of the whole solution for "head_html_tag", it only finds the other views that have the same statement.  It does not tell me where the widget is.

What is it that tells the Nivo Slider to display at the start of the page body?

Thanks,
Tony

Carneno,

If you look in NivoSliderPlugin.cs, you'll find this code:

        /// <summary>
        /// Gets widget zones where this widget should be rendered
        /// </summary>
        /// <returns>Widget zones</returns>
        public IList<string> GetWidgetZones()
        {
            return new List<string>() { "home_page_top" };
        }

You can change the "home_page_top" to the zone you want it to appear in. If you want it in multiple zones, then a comma separated list e.g.

return new List<string>() { "home_page_top", "another_widget_zone", "yet_another_zone" };

You can use my list above to see all the default zones, or you can add more zones by adding more lines like

@Html.Widget("head_html_tag")

in other .cshtml files (use another name, or all the widgets that should appear in 'head_html_tag' will appear in your new zone too!

Please voter up my posts if they are of use ;-)

Regards

Adam

Thanks Adam.

I'm starting to get a better understanding of how the widgets processing works.

So, this "@Html.Widget("head_html_tag")" tells the view to create a new zone in the view that contains it.  Right?

I'm not sure about your explanation of:
cyberspy wrote:

I tried:

 return new List<string>() { "home_page_top", "home_page_bottom" };

and the NivoSlider stayed on the top of the home page.

I also tried:

 return new List<string>() { "home_page_top", "left_side_column_before" };

and the NivoSlider moved from the top of the home page to the left side top in a 3 column layout.

The widget placement is not working the way you explained it.

I cleaned the solution and rebuilt it before each test.

Thanks,
Tony

nivo slider should not work more then once in the same page.
the Nivo javascript is using div Id which must to be unique

when u are placing the same nivo plugin more then once in the same page u are creating divs with the same Id
that is why it will only run once.

take a look kick starter, it looks for an element with nivo-slider Id and there should be only one:

<script type="text/javascript">
    $(window).load(function () {
        $('#nivo-slider').nivoSlider();
    });
</script>

  

u can modify the code and add the zone name to  the Id ( nivo-slider + zone name), this way u will have a unique Id to each of the running sliders
.
