Overview

The plugin is here and the plugin works!
Per Ben's advice I have finally managed to code the modification as a plugin, using and elgg event.

Much credit also goes to Chad @ NCR from the elgg-developement google group. Chad helped me solve a problem I could not figure out, which is why it took me so long. It seemed the add_widgets function required a logged-in user to check permissions against to see if the user was even allowed to add_widgets.

How do you add widgets when a user is created, if when the user is created, he needs to validate his email before he logs in, and upon log in, the widgets NEED to be already included!? (the whole point of default widgets)

LOG THE USER IN!
Thanks Chad!

My elgg test site is at www.pathly.com. To see it work:

1. Register for account
2. Confirm email
3. Login

When you login for the first time you should you should see your dashboard pre-loaded with 1 widget in each column for a total of 3, and your user profile should have "groups", "friends", and "messageboard" all loaded down the right column.
