Umbraco and Webparts

Is it possible to write webparts for use in umbraco? I want users to be able to move datatypes around in the canvas editing view. This way they can customize and not have to just use pre-defined templates for layout.

Thanks,

Rick

Hi Rick,

If your interested in the WidgetFramework source I can email it to you.

I believe it is also in the 4.1 (maybe v5) plan to incorporate widgets into the Umbraco Dashboard.

Cheers,

Chris

Tried the demo and this is exactly what I am looking for! Can the user save the layout after widgets are moved?

The layout changes are saved as soon as the move/drop happens.

Try moving a widget and then refreshing the page, the widget will be in the new location.

Watching the ajax calls via Firebug will help you work out what's happening.
