Advanced Widget Editor
======================

[](#advanced-widget-editor)

[![CI](https://github.com/UndefinedOffset/silverstripe-advancedwidgeteditor/actions/workflows/ci.yml/badge.svg)](https://github.com/UndefinedOffset/silverstripe-advancedwidgeteditor/actions/workflows/ci.yml)

Replaces the Widget Editor to enable support for advanced form fields such as `SilverStripe\AssetAdmin\Forms\UploadField`

Requirements
------------

[](#requirements)

- SilverStripe ~4.6 | ~5.0
- [SilverStripe Widgets ~2.0 | ~3.0](https://github.com/silverstripe/silverstripe-widgets/)

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

```
composer require undefinedoffset/silverstripe-advancedwidgeteditor

```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

To use advanced widget editor over the default SilverStripe widgets editor you need to change your extension from WidgetPageExtension to use AdvancedWidgetPageExtension instead.

```
Page:
  extensions:
    - 'UndefinedOffset\AdvancedWidgetEditor\Extensions\AdvancedWidgetPageExtension'
```

Controlling Available Widgets per-class
---------------------------------------

[](#controlling-available-widgets-per-class)

To control widgets on a per-class host class (class which the Advanced Widget Editor is controlling the widget area for), you can use the config property available\_widgets for example:

```
Page:
    available_widgets:
        - "RSSWidget"
        - "MyExampleWidget"

SilverStripe\Blog\Model\Blog:
    available_widgets:
        - 'SilverStripe\Blog\Widgets\BlogArchiveWidget'
        - 'SilverStripe\Blog\Widgets\BlogCategoriesWidget'
        - 'SilverStripe\Blog\Widgets\BlogTagsCloudWidget'
        - 'SilverStripe\Blog\Widgets\BlogRecentPostsWidget'
```

In the case of the above example the `Page` class and it's decedent classes will have the `RSSWidget` and `MyExampleWidget` available. Where the `SilverStripe\Blog\Model\Blog` class and it's decendent classes will also have ArchiveWidget, BlogManagementWidget, etc along side the `RSSWidget` and `MyExampleWidget`.

You can also restrict widgets from decedent classes using the example above say we want to restrict the `SilverStripe\Blog\Model\Blog` class to not have access to the `RSSWidget` but still have `Page` be allowed to use that widget, for example you can use the bellow:

```
SilverStripe\Blog\Model\Blog:
    restricted_widgets:
        - "RSSWidget"
```

Reporting an issue
