This plugin provides a set of widgets that you can view on your Winter CMS admin dashboard. Once this plugin is installed, you can add and configure its widgets on your dashboard like any other widget. [![A screenshot of the three initial widgets, cache, maintenance, and time.](screenshot.png)](screenshot.png) Widgets ------- [](#widgets) Currently, the following widgets are contained: - **Cache**: This widget displays common cache sizes and allows you to clear the cache comfortably from the dashboard without the need to SSH into your server. - **Maintenance**: This widget allows you to control the maintenance mode directly from your dashboard. It displays the current status of this setting (like the "Theme" widget does) and offers a button to toggle the mode on or off. - **Time**: This widget shows you both your server time and your local browser time. It also displays an info string indicating whether your server is behind you, ahead of you, or if you are both in the same timezone. Setup ----- [](#setup) To install this plugin into your Winter CMS page, install it via Composer and enable it: ``` composer require wn-dashboard-widgets-plugin php artisan winter:up ``` Configuration ------------- [](#configuration) This plugin only provides dashboard widgets. To add one of the provided widgets, activate it by going to your Dashboard, click "Add Widget" and select the widget from the list. This plugin defines a permission that you can use to prevent certain users from viewing and interacting with these widgets. Contributing ------------ [](#contributing) This plugin is a personal project because I needed a few widgets. Specifically, I always found the Cache widget from the old "Backend Plus" plugin (from the October CMS days) handy, but that plugin hasn't been updated in years, and I need something reliable. However, I have little time to spend ongoing time adding new widgets. So instead, if you need a widget, please implement it and open a PR. The easiest way to add a widget is to simply copy an existing one. > **Tip**: The authoritative documentation for creating "report widgets" can be found [in the Winter CMS documentation](https://wintercms.com/docs/v1.2/docs/backend/widgets#report-widgets). Broadly speaking, here's what you need to do: 1. Define a new widget controller (e.g., `Cache.php`) in the `reportwidgets`folder. 2. Create an accompanying widget partial called `_widget.php` in the `partials`folder. 3. Register the widget in the `Plugin.php` 4. Configure it according to what you wish to display/enable admins to do. To add localization strings, add a new key in the `widgets` section of the English `lang.php` file, analogous to the other widgets. If you add additional languages, all the better. Do not keep verbatim English text in the widgets. If you want to add additional CSS or JavaScript, please see the existing widgets for how to do that.
