A super easy way to create your own dashboard widgets for the Control Panel.
Do It Yourself widget is available in the Plugin Store. You can also install the plugin manually from the command line with the following commands.
composer require carlcs/craft-diywidget
php craft plugin/install diy-widget
It is super easy to build your own widgets using this plugin. All you need to do is to create a new folder called diy-widget
inside of your config folder and add Twig templates to it.
You can create new widgets using Twig/HTML, by creating a widget-name.html
file.
These templates will now be available to add to your dashboard. To give the widget an icon, upload a widget-name.svg
file. If you need custom CSS or some Javascript, just upload it into that folder as well and they will be included automatically.
If you don’t feel like crafting, just have a play with the example template files provided with the plugin. Copy the files from _examples/diy-widget/
into your config/diy-widget/
folder.
