Hello Mark,

I'm afraid that we didn't quite get what you want to achieve exactly? Can you explain to us in a little more detail, and send us a couple of screenshots?

We wish you all the best. 

Hello Mark,

Unfortunately, currently, this feature is not built-in in Amelia. I will forward this to our developer for opinion to see if this is possible to achieve. As soon as I get the feedback from them I will contact you on this ticket. 

Hello Mark,

We just got the feedback from our colleagues and they have sent us this

function register_my_dashboard_widget() {
  wp_add_dashboard_widget('my_dashboard_widget', 'Employee Panel',
    function () {
        add_shortcode('ameliaemployeepanel',
               array('AmeliaBooking\Infrastructure\WP\ShortcodeService\CabinetEmployeeShortcodeService', 'shortcodeHandler'));
        echo do_shortcode('[ameliaemployeepanel]');
    }
  );
}
add_action( 'wp_dashboard_setup', 'register_my_dashboard_widget' );

You should probably also check if the user has wpamelia-provider role before adding the widget.

Hope this helps. 

Hello Mark,

We just got the feedback from our colleagues and they have told us that this is because we add shortcodes only if the page is not an admin page. That's why I have put add_shortcode call just before the do_shortcode call. I have tested this and the employee panel appeared as a widget. If it still doesn't work tell us which file are you adding the code to? (For testing I have put it in ameliabooking.php, but it shouldn't make a difference)

Hello Mark,

We have forwarded your ticket to our developers and as soon as we get some feedback from them we will contact you. 

Hello Mark,

We just got the feedback from our colleagues and they have told us that

You can add it to ameliabooking.php by putting it into Plugin class at the end:

public static function register_my_dashboard_widget() {    wp_add_dashboard_widget('my_dashboard_widget', 'Employee Panel',        function () {            add_shortcode('ameliaemployeepanel',                array('AmeliaBooking\Infrastructure\WP\ShortcodeService\CabinetEmployeeShortcodeService', 'shortcodeHandler'));            echo do_shortcode('[ameliaemployeepanel]');        }    );
}

And calling it outside the class, at the end of the file:

add_action( 'wp_dashboard_setup', array('AmeliaBooking\Plugin', 'register_my_dashboard_widget') );

You can also add it to the functions.php file of your theme ( the same code as before):

function register_my_dashboard_widget() {   wp_add_dashboard_widget('my_dashboard_widget', 'Employee Panel',     function () {         add_shortcode('ameliaemployeepanel',                array('AmeliaBooking\Infrastructure\WP\ShortcodeService\CabinetEmployeeShortcodeService', 'shortcodeHandler'));         echo do_shortcode('[ameliaemployeepanel]');     }   ); } add_action( 'wp_dashboard_setup', 'register_my_dashboard_widget' );

With both of these I get the widget in the dashboard:

(Logged into WordPress as amelia employee).

Hello Mark,

We have forwarded your ticket to our developers again and as soon as we get some feedback from them we will contact you. 

Hello Mark,

Can you please tell us where is your functions.php file located so that we can reproduce the issue?

Looking forward to your reply. 

Hello Mark,

We have forwarded your ticket to our developers again and as soon as we get some feedback from them we will contact you. 

Hello Mark,

We just got the feedback from our colleagues and they have told us that everything is fine they have tested it again. They have placed the code in "wp-content/mu-plugins/functions.php". Can you please try and place the code there instead of the theme? 

function register_my_dashboard_widget()
{
    wp_add_dashboard_widget(
        'my_dashboard_widget',
        'Employee Panel',
        function () {
            add_shortcode(
                'ameliaemployeepanel',
                array(
                    'AmeliaBooking\Infrastructure\WP\ShortcodeService\CabinetEmployeeShortcodeService',
                    'shortcodeHandler'
                )
            );
            echo do_shortcode('[ameliaemployeepanel]');
        }
    );
}
add_action('wp_dashboard_setup', 'register_my_dashboard_widget');

If you can not you can send us the admin access to WP and access to FTP.

Looking forward to your reply.
