Hello!
I’m trying to add my plugin/widget to the left menu at a specific position under ‘Actions’ that is already occupied by a default plugin. I cannot make my plugin appear “higher up”, interspersed with the default activated plugins (only afterward, or in a separate category).
In the documentation for plugin/widget development, I see the following code sets the initial menu order:
$this->order = X;
For instance, the plugin ‘Pages’ has $this->order = 2; (from Plugins\Actions\Reports\GetPageUrls.php) and ‘Entry Pages’ has an order = 3 (from GetEntryPageUrls.php). This corresponds nicely to the order I see, so it makes sense.
A couple questions:
-
If I put a “conflicting” order for my plugin (i.e. I also set $order=2), what happens? Should it insert where I want it to and push down the following plugins? Because it does not.
-
If I change the order manually for the default plugins (e.g. setting $this->order = 99 in GetEntryPageUrls.php), why does the default plugin not change order (moving away from the third position in this specific example)?
-
What is the difference in setting these initial orders in the definition of the Report (along with a $categoryId and $subcategoryId) versus managing the menu order via WidgetConfigs e.g.
public static function configure(WidgetConfig $config)
{
$config->setCategoryId('About Piwik');
$config->setName('My Example Widget');
$config->setOrder(5);
}
Thanks in advance for the pointers!
