Create widget group
===================
Widget groups are used to group widgets into tabs.
This will have an effect when adding new widgets to an dashboard.
See :ref:`adding-widgets` to get an idea of the UI.
Groups are defined as PHP array:
.. code-block:: php
:caption: Example from EXT:dashboard/Configuration/Backend/DashboardWidgetGroups.php
<?php
return [
'general' => [
'title' => 'LLL:EXT:dashboard/Resources/Private/Language/locallang.xlf:widget_group.general',
],
'systemInfo' => [
'title' => 'LLL:EXT:dashboard/Resources/Private/Language/locallang.xlf:widget_group.system',
],
'typo3' => [
'title' => 'LLL:EXT:dashboard/Resources/Private/Language/locallang.xlf:widget_group.typo3',
],
'news' => [
'title' => 'LLL:EXT:dashboard/Resources/Private/Language/locallang.xlf:widget_group.news',
],
'documentation' => [
'title' => 'LLL:EXT:dashboard/Resources/Private/Language/locallang.xlf:widget_group.documentation',
],
];
The file has to return an array of groups.
Each group consists of an array key used as identifier and an single option :php:`title`.
The title will be processed through translation and can be an ``LLL`` reference.
Each extension can create arbitrary widget groups.
Widgets can be assigned to multiple groups using the :confval:`widget-tag-groupNames`.
Please read :ref:`register-new-widget` to understand how this is done.
