Approval issue created: CONTRIB-9769

We really appreciate the WidgetHub plugin. During the process of translating the strings, we noticed that a significant number of them have not yet been localized.

Thanks for the translations! 🙏 It would be really helpful if you could share which specific strings you noticed as missing from the localization. That way we can review them more easily. Please feel free to open an issue in the plugin repository so we can track and address this properly.

Hello Josep. Thank you for the plugin. We use it to have consistency within our productions. We use it in some widget with the type image. This is working very well (and thanks for the contextual menu with binding). We are facing a problem, and it seems that this is not emplemented. We would like tu use it with the file type but this doesn't work : we would like to use Moodle file selector, as we do with image. We tried to give image as type but it detects that the file extension doesn't match. Do you a turnaround? Thanks.

Hello, and thanks for your feedback! I’m glad to hear the image integration and contextual menu are working well for your use case.
At the moment, only the image file picker is implemented, since the plugin relies on Moodle’s TinyMCE API. Unfortunately, there is no workaround right now for using it with other file types.
Out of curiosity: which file types would you need to select besides images? That will help me understand your use case better for possible future improvements.

Hello, Sorry for the late response. File types may be from Word, Excel, PDF,... depending on the case. I did not find a good solution yet to manage files in the widget as well as binding with insertquery in an attribute. Still learning . Thank you again for this plugin.

Hello,
I'm trying to use the "selection mode" as mentionned in the docs. The mode is detected but I'm using ejs, and I'm trying to use selected text in TinyMCE and use it in the widget but the variable name for the selected text content varies in the docs when you use WidgethubGPT: I tried content, selection, selected_text ... Can you tel me what name is the good one. Thanks a lot.

In selection mode there is no variable like content. WidgetHub does not pass the selected text as a template variable.

Instead, you must define:
insertquery: ".your-selector"

The selected content in Tiny will be injected into the element that matches that selector in your template.

If you want deeper guidance, you can also ask this qüestion to WidgetHub for TinyMCE GPT (Beta).

Hi, would it be possible, to add some more snippets? We need a possiblity to add buttons and as Symbol, may be, with additional font-awesome symbols.

Regards, Birgit

additional feature would be a color picker ...

Hi Birgit,

Regarding your first question: administrators can create an arbitrary number of widgets in WidgetHub. The GPT by Andreas Geisen can help with creating such widgets, so adding additional snippets like buttons with icons (e.g., Font Awesome icons) should be possible that way.

The only potential hurdle is what the button should actually do. If the button only needs to display a link (for example using an element styled like a button), then it is quite straightforward. However, if a custom action is required, JavaScript would be needed, which makes the implementation a bit more involved. Just prompt to GPT what you need and create a new widget with the generated YML.

For your second point: there is already a widget available that allows selecting foreground and background colors (ib-colors). It is quite simple, but it might already cover the basic use case. If something more advanced is required, it might be worth looking at an specific Tiny plugin for that.

Best regards,
Josep

Dear Joseph,

I could not find an email address for you, so I am reaching out through this public forum.

I first wanted to inform you personally, so that you would also have the opportunity to announce it yourself if you wish. At OpenEdu, in collaboration with Onderwijs & Vlaanderen, we have significantly expanded the WidgetHub with exactly 19 additional widgets.

These widgets can be loaded into WidgetHub and are offered as open source. You, and everyone else, can download them here: [link]

Feel free to email me at p.zuidhof@openedu.nl
. I would be very interested to hear your opinion, and of course also the feedback from others who use them.

Kind regards,

HI Jospeh ,

Hi, Patrick

Thank you very much for reaching out and for sharing the new widgets.
Nineteen new open-source widgets is a fantastic addition. I’ll take a look at the plugins page soon and contact you by email.
Thanks again, and congratulations on the great work!
