Note to users of this plugin (@Pad_Pors) . I’ve changed the way widgets are enabled and positioned. Rather than listing widgets in settings, you now select the position and whether the widget is pinned in a separate admin panel.
Instead of monkey patching the SiteSetting model, i.e.
SiteSetting.class_eval do
@choices[:layouts_sidebar_left_widgets].push('profile')
end
You now add widgets in your plugin.rb like so:
DiscourseLayouts::WidgetHelper.add_widget('election-list')
This will make them appear on the list of widgets in the new admin panel.
