check configuration file located at config/voyager.php

widgets
Here you can manage the widgets that live on your dashboard. You can take a look at an example widget class by viewing the current widgets inside of tcg/voyager/src/Widgets.

What I did
mkdir app/Widgets and

//voyager.php
'widgets' => [
            'TCG\\Voyager\\Widgets\\UserDimmer',
            'App\\Widgets\\BuildingDimmer',
            'App\\Widgets\\ClientDimmer',
            'App\\Widgets\\neighborhoodDimmer',
            'App\\Widgets\\PropertyDimmer',
            'App\\Widgets\\SuperintendentDimmer',
        ],

<?php
// app/Widgets/BuildingDimmer.php
namespace TCG\Voyager\Widgets;

use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Auth;
use Illuminate\Support\Str;
use TCG\Voyager\Facades\Voyager;

class BuildingDimmer extends BaseDimmer
{
    /**
     * The configuration array.
     *
     * @var array
     */
    protected $config = [];

    /**
     * Treat this method as a controller action.
     * Return view() or other content to display.
     */
    public function run()
    {
        $count = Voyager::model('Building')->count();
        $string = trans_choice('voyager::dimmer.building', $count);

        return view('voyager::dimmer', array_merge($this->config, [
            'icon'   => 'voyager-company',
            'title'  => "{$count} {$string}",
            'text'   => __('voyager::dimmer.user_text', ['count' => $count, 'string' => Str::lower($string)]),
            'button' => [
                'text' => __('voyager::dimmer.user_link_text'),
                'link' => route('voyager.buildings.index'),
            ],
            'image' => voyager_asset('images/widget-backgrounds/01.jpg'),
        ]));
    }

    /**
     * Determine if the widget should be displayed.
     *
     * @return bool
     */
    public function shouldBeDisplayed()
    {
        Auth::user()->can('browse', Voyager::model('Building'));
    }
}

But I can't see my custom widgets. Only the User's Dimmer :(

Do you have set the right permissions on for the logged in user?

My custom dimmer looks like the following and it works:

<?php

namespace App\Widgets;

use App\Models\News;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Auth;
use Illuminate\Support\Str;
use TCG\Voyager\Widgets\BaseDimmer;

class NewsDimmer extends BaseDimmer
{
    /**
     * The configuration array.
     *
     * @var array
     */
    protected $config = [];

    /**
     * Treat this method as a controller action.
     * Return view() or other content to display.
     */
    public function run()
    {
        $count =  News::count();
        $string = trans_choice('dimmer.news', $count);

        return view('voyager::dimmer', array_merge($this->config, [
            'icon'   => 'voyager-news',
            'title'  => "{$count} {$string}",
            'text'   => __('dimmer.news_text', ['count' => $count, 'string' => Str::lower($string)]),
            'button' => [
                'text' => __('dimmer.news_link_text'),
                'link' => route('voyager.news.index'),
            ],
            'image' => asset('images/paige_spiranac_golf.jpg'),
        ]));
    }

    /**
     * Determine if the widget should be displayed.
     *
     * @return bool
     */
    public function shouldBeDisplayed()
    {
        return Auth::user()->can('browse', app(News::class));
    }
}

@guillermoprojaslema, you've done ALMOST everything right. Just change the namespace in your dimmer class (should be App\Widgets, not the TCG namespace you have currently).

[guillermoprojaslema]

Now i got this error

"Class 'AppWidgetsBaseDimmer' not found"

:(

[fletch3555]

You have to add use TCG\Voyager\Widgets\BaseDimmer just like you would any class that isn't in the same namespace

[gjportegies]

@guillermoprojaslema that's only added since version 1.1.3 Before it extended AbstractWidget and the shouldBeDisplayed method was not required.

[guillermoprojaslema]

Thank you all guys.

[guillermoprojaslema]

Well, I wanna opene this thread again. In my workplace it works, but in my laptop it does not. I don't rememeber the enviroment from my workplace, but the one I posted first is the one that this does not work.
Also, The 'primary_color' => '#A10000', does not work.

[veggigit]

/** * Determine if the widget should be displayed. * * @return bool */ public function shouldBeDisplayed() { return Auth::user()->can('browse', app(News::class)); }

Work fine, thx!

[guillermoprojaslema]
