Customizing pages with widgets?

xqal5 Jul 23, 2015 11:21 AM

Hi,

I'm currently developing a widget for use to display data on the side of a Jive page (not sure if it is homepage or community page yet, tbd).

I know how to add a widget by following these steps:

Make sure you have enabled the custom home page in the Admin console.
Log into your site as the Site administrator.
Click your avatar in the top right.
Select Manage > Overview Page.
Customize the page using widgets.

However, when I try to do that now, all of the sudden the widget customization pane at the top doesn't load, and subsequently just disappears after a few seconds of attempting to load.

Any suggestions on how to fix this?

Thanks!

-Matt

More info:
This is the piece that I'm trying to display. The top part that says "Edit Place Overview Page" will load, but the bottom orange warning and blue pane do not load with the page.

Thanks in advance!

  Hi Matthew,
  Do the widgets in the overview page only display when your developed widget is uninstalled or does it never appear?

    the widgets all load fine (except the one I'm trying to develop, but that is just my error I believe). The problem is that I wasn't able get to the customize/templating screen to add new widgets.
    
    The problem is fixed now (I just ignored it until now and something I did must've fixed it). Any idea what I did so that I can replicate it if this problem happens again?

      Hi Matthew,
      Unfortunately I do not have as much insight on developers aspect in Jive so I going to move this discussion to the Jive Developers space to help it gain visibility with other developers. If you see issues or have questions around the built in functionality of Jive, feel free to continue to create discussions in the Jive Training and Support Resources Space.
