Custom Dynamic Menus and Widgets - FCA Widgets 1.0.7 (May 6 update)
Hi everyone,
Here's a big update to the FCA Widgets plugin - quite a few changes so please expect some bugs that hopefully you can all help iron out.
First word of warning - I have changed the way Sidebar Menus are saved which means any existing menus you have built will unfortunately be lost. Please keep a note of what you have already to avoid any upset! Sorry about that, but hopefully worth it. If it's a huge issue let me know and we can look at a solution.
If upgrading from 1.0.4 your existing menus should now be saved.
As a reminder, the core functionality of this plugin is:
β Build bespoke sidebar menus that have multiple link types and of which visibility can be controlled based on user/role/space membership
β Build custom widgets for your space sidebar
Main changes in 1.0.7:
πLogged-out users available as a visibility option
πEach group and menu item can be individually enabled
πAdded space/course/custom page lookup for easy adding of your links
πAdded SVG url/upload/code support for icons
πMenu links now show as active when you're on that page (including custom links)
πYou can now completely disable the default menu groups and replace them with your own
πOption added for open link in new tab
π§ Insert Button for Widgets improved and now shows styles in the editor
π§ FIXED: Widgets not showing after updating to 1.0.6 - now showing and loading faster
π§ FIXED: Menus being lost when upgrading from 1.0.4 - should now migrate sucessfully
I've done some light testing with this and would appreciate some more extensive checks and feedback and any bugs.
New update to 1.0.7 to fix a couple of things you guys picked up on. Thanks for the support and patience!
Still a couple of bugs around icons for menu items. I'm currently adding the option to use an image, and hopefully to pull in the space icon from the front end so you don't need to choose this twice.
