Widget plugin (intelligent view partials)

@Mikle, You make me work so hard these days.

Any method not declared specifically is assumed to be public method.

Widget class does not need private method.

Wiredesignz, how do you think wigets must have config file (like Wordpress, for activation deactivation) or not? Or I should store config in db?

[eluser]wiredesignz[/eluser]
Widget config should maybe be part of config/application.php

I always have a dedicated application config file, this keeps all site settings available to all developers.

Use database of course for settings that may be altered regularly.

And if I need to set count of posts which widget renders, I should store this number in config/application.php?

Or database, This is your choice.

I'm sorry for so much questions, but I'm newbee and learning codeigniter, and I love you extentions for CI, that save so much time in web application development. You can add paypal donation button to your site and I and many other people will send donations for your great job!

It's ok, your questions are good ones. And thank you for the nice feedback.

If people want to donate they can always send a private message via my profile.

is it possible to make this widget plugin behave with ME5? I want to create a separate widget for each module and all this will come together in a dashboard type view.

Hi Milos, I'm sure we could work something out. I'll do some testing.

I'm currently trying to work something out. I can get it to load the widget from a module, but when it comes to the view, well I'm having a hard time
