Widget ordering in subflows

Open Rikorose opened this issue 1 year ago • 1 comments

Description

I followed the guide here: https://dashboard.flowfuse.com/user/subflows.html This worked as described.

However, I am missing the functionality to order the widgets of the subflow within the group. It would be convenient to provide a ordering index similar to setting the widget size.

Have you provided an initial effort estimate for this issue?

@Rikorose I could solve this by using css order classes ( order-1, order-2 …). However this did not work when having the subflow multiple times within the same group. It would be great, if the widgets from a subflow would be organized within a div in the same group.

Any update on this? In the 1.24 version, we can order the widget inside groups. However, when the widget is inside a sublow, that functionality doesn't work. It will be very useful if we can order the widgets inside a subflow.

I also need this feature. It's difficult to maintain a dashboard with a lot of charts that are inside a subflow if we can't reorder and arrange them as needed. It looks like @Steve-Mcl has made a pull request (thanks!). Here's the post I made on the forum:


I have a subflow that uses a config node to set the Dashboard 2.0 group. The subflow contains a several number inputs and a text field. I want to add a few widgets to the group which I can do by adding my UI nodes and setting their group to the config node's group.

The problem is that before I made these nodes into a subflow, the individual widgets were seen in the layout editor and side panel. I could adjust their order as needed. Now that they have been made into a subflow, all I see, rather than individual widgets, is a single widget, representing the subflow. There is no way to move the individual widgets around anymore.

What is the proper way to reorganize and arrange Dashboard 2.0 UI widgets that are contained inside a subflow?
