Graham Quince Posted September 27, 2019 Share Posted September 27, 2019 Here's a widget designed to support teachers when they need to be able to quickly send a message to other staff requesting assistance. There is a space for a room to be listed, but the email will send without this information. There's quite a few schools using Forms for this, but this one doesn't require a form and should be quick to set up and use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pdurber Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 (edited) I would love to use this, but I can't get ours to email out. Is there any way I can inspect the code for it to check why? Edited January 16, 2020 by pdurber Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you let me know where the problematic widget is please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pdurber Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 (edited) It's on the staff dashboard, but it's currently hidden from everyone except admins. When you login is it as an admin? Edited January 17, 2020 by pdurber Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pdurber Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 Thank you. Whatever you did it is working now. ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pdurber Posted September 27, 2020 Share Posted September 27, 2020 @Graham Quince We are using this successfully as part of our "on-call" system. Except for 2 teachers, where the "Send" button doesn't appear next to the fillable field. Interestingly 1 of them can see it if they use MS Edge instead of Chrome, but not the other. If you watch carefully when the page loads, it is there for a fraction of a second, then disappears to be replaced with ... So I'm thinking a size/resolution issue? is there a minumum number of pixels wide that it needs to be? It's on our dashboard currently. Any suggestions?

Graham Quince Posted September 28, 2020 Author Share Posted September 28, 2020 I've just had a look and screen size is my best guess too. With you having 4 columns for the staff dashboard, it might just be squeezing the widget a little too much. I had a quick look to see if you could hack the widget to hide the icon, but it didn't work. You might need to add the widgets to a wider column, or show your colleagues how to add the widgets to their personal dashboards. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Quince Posted September 28, 2020 Author Share Posted September 28, 2020 Hi @pdurber I've approached this in a different way, try adding an HTML widget to the staff dashboard and using the following code: <style> .dashButton { float: right; </style> 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pdurber Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 OK, but what does that do? One problem I have is that I don't have a computer that won't show the button at home, where I am now. I'll add it and have a look in the morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pdurber Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 (edited) Ah! I see. Set the resolution to 1024x768 Edited September 28, 2020 by pdurber 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
