    Hi all,

    I created a mm widget yesterday which displays some additional information for TVs whose current value is @INHERIT.
    It will show what the inherited value is, if any, and what doc it came from.
    Currently, it works well for plaintext and dropdown TVs. I’m planning to get it working for image TVs next, then I’ll check out other TV types.
    Create a subdir called showinherited under the widgets directory, and put the attached file showinherited.php there.

    Call it like this in your mm rules:
    mm_widget_showinherited('tvPageHeaderText,tvSidebarVersion,tvSidebarEvents', '', '2', '4');


    note: the second parameter doesn’t do anything at the moment.

    Release early and agitate, right? tongue

            Does this work with evolution (1.0.2)?

            I only receive a popup-message reading
            ManagerManager: An error has occurred: TypeError - $("#tvgroessenklasse") is null

            The [tt]mm_rule[/tt] is
            mm_widget_showinherited('tvgroessenklasse', '', '', '8');


            The template has a TV (dropdown) called "groessenklasse". The [tt]select[/tt] in the DOM has the ID ’tv18’, and not ’tvgroessenklasse’ as I had expected according to that error message. Even when I change the mm_rule with ’tv18’, I only get the popup-message (now reading ... ’#tv18’ ...).
