RTC - Create a Widget Catalog for several OpenSocial gadgets?
Hi all,
So I have been creating widgets from home during social distancing... I made a Kanban that shows work items for a given saved query (it moves the work items between states, too!), a stacked area chart showing cumulative value flow, and a few others in the past few weeks (See attached screenshot for some examples).
My question is... is there some way I can add a section to the RTC widget catalog so that users on our servers can find them more easily? Pasting the URL to add an "OpenSocial Gadget" works, but this is not as good as it could be. My other thought is to create an information area somewhere and show examples and URLs and then advertise this... but again, this is not as good as adding them into the RTC widget catalog so they are readily discovarable.
Let me know if you know of any ways! Thanks!

Hi Dave,
your widgets look awesome! Any chance for you to share them?
In order to extend the Widget Catalog you need to create a server extension. No (Java) coding is required, just create a plugin.xml and create an archive together with your widget code. See https://jazz.net/wiki/bin/view/Main/OSGiWidgetCatalog. If you need a concrete example, I might provide you one.
There exists an enhancement request to support configurable widget catalog like DNG does:
