Calling a widget in a plugin with a custom widget template? was created by timstallmann
Hi! I'm trying to build a plugin that creates a custom, simplified view of survey results on the admin side. I've managed to follow the tutorials and get the menu items created, and am trying to create a new TbListView widget to render the list of results, using code like this (inside my view template file)
Code:
 $this->widget('bootstrap.widgets.TbListView', array(
                'dataProvider' => $model->search(),
                'itemView' => 'support_request',
                'sortableAttributes' => array(
                'datestamp',
                        'FactoryName',
                        'City',
                ),
              ));

The problem I'm running into is when this code runs, the AdminController->getViewFile method gets called, and it's looking in /var/www/html/application/views for my view template file, which should be in plugins/modulename/views instead. Any idea how to resolve this? Do I need to create a custom controller for the plugin?

Ok classic example of rubber-ducking a problem here, immediately after posting I realized that changing the itemView attribute to plugin_views_folder2.views.support_request solves the problem. But why?

Because pluigin are not Yii module, my way to do is
Code:
Yii::setPathOfAlias(get_class($this),dirname(__FILE__));
Yii::app()->controller->render(get_class($this).".views.myview",$renderData);

:)

I don't know where you want to use it ? If it's out of public page : some insipration :
- gitlab.com/SondagesPro/managament/respon...tAndManage.php#L1473
- gitlab.com/SondagesPro/coreAndTools/renderMessage

To show a dynamic list even with twig : you need to do it out of twig i think. gitlab.com/SondagesPro/managament/respon.../content/surveys.php

Maybe we can add function to call widget in twig manager : github.com/LimeSurvey/LimeSurvey/blob/ma...S_Twig_Extension.php
