How to add drop-down lists to widget properties?

Hello,

 

I'm looking to create a weather widget with pre-determined cities to display the weather for. In the widget properties I'd like to add a drop down menu of cities that the users can pick from. I can't seem to figure out how to add drop down lists instead of the radio buttons.

 

I'm *very* new to creating widgets so I may need a lot of background knowledge. I've toyed with Jive's HelloWorldWidget and that's about it. I'm trying to read as much as I can but I've found there's a gap between the standard Jive documentation and what other people are creating.

 

Thanks for any help you can provide.

 

Riley

I'd also like to do this exact thing.  It would greatly help my users.

 

Anyone from Jive have an idea?

 

Cheers,

Devin

As far as I'm aware, the only way to do this right now is to modify the widget-props.ftl template directly and add in the drop-down list with the options.

Thanks Vinh,

 

Would this process potentially break the upgrade path, or is there a way

to do it safely?
