Hey Rob,

They actually aren't plugins, they are part of the core product. You can find them:

com/jivesoftware/community/widget/impl/*

Thanks.

ok.. I have downloaded the software "jive_sbs_employee-3.0.3.source.tar.gz"

But looking through it it is not clear to me where the plugins are stored. Can you point me in the right direction?

Thanks

Rob

Hey Rob,

1. Have there been any changes to the way widgets are built in 3.0?

There have been a few changes to the Widget platform to allow for cacheable widgets/remote widgets for Bridging but for the most part the general design has stayed the same.

If so is there updated 3.0 documentation?

The 3.0 documentation can be found here:

http://www.jivesoftware.com/dev

and the Widget docs specifically:

http://www.jivesoftware.com/jivespace/docs/DOC-3301

Can I get a simple example widget that works in 3.0?

If you have a copy of the core source code handy this would be the best way to check out example 3.0 widgets. Let me know if you have any questions. Thanks!

I am having trouble with a widget that I had working in 2.5 but doesn't seem to work in 3.0. All the documentation for widgets still have 2.5 information in it. Even the DTDs in the documentation specify the 2.5 version.
