Never had issues before with plugins, but after extracting and placing it in the PrismWeb/plugins folder it still does not show up in the web. Tried restarting IIS and clearing cache from the browser and still no "WIDGET TITLE" options. Anyone else having this issue? Currently I am on V6.0.2.32

Hi,
Using latest Sisense version (6.7.1.1506) we have no issues so far, but we had with previous 6.X (which prevented us from upgrading) : both for size of text, and PDF export. I think that we had issues with 6.6. with PDF exports.
@Dabin : for size of the font, we use for instance Comic Sans MS in 16pt and 12pt with differences :

I have logged a ticket re the display issue in v7. Looking at the source code, the Widget Header has changed or is being interpreted different. In v6.7 the widget header has padding-left and padding-right set, however in v7 is has margin-left and margin-right set.
Hopefully it can be resolved soon as it really detracts from the otherwise very nice update to the look and feel in v7.

If using center or right alignment with the widget title plug-in, the title shifts left and right when you move your mouse outside of the title bar window. It's working fine if the title is left aligned.
Not sure if it is related, but this started happening after I installed the tabber widget.

Hi,
this is due to widget menu on the right hand side. It is permanently there when in design mode so then the width of header is static, but whenyou enter Viewer mode, that menu dissappears. When you hover over it, the menu appears again on the right and therefore in viewer mode the width is dynamic, so the header adjusts its' position on the fly. I think it should be fixed as that flickering is kind of annoying.

I ran into an issue with this plugin where it led to pie charts being cut off if emailed.
Sisense appears to generate the email by turning widgets into images with a fixed size of 600x327. When using this plugin, the title row becomes a little bigger/taller. This pushes the widget image down and can lead to it being cut off. This is more of an issue for charts that have labels toward the bottom of the chart, as they can be cut off leaving the slice with no label.
This is more an issue with how Sisense uses a fixed size image that can't accommodate any change to the title size, but posting here in case anyone else has run into this and found a solution. Thank you!

Why can I not get this option to work, much less show up in our 7.1.2.11001 version? The styleWidgetTitle shows up in our list of plugins on the Admin pane but I see nothing other than the Filters and Design options on the right side of the screen where I expect the edit widget title to be. And, yes, I already have widget titles in my dashboards.

Thanks, Simon, but we've had several full system restarts to no avail and, yes, I always have some text in the Title field when I try to activate this plugin. I've wanted to update our version but, based on the information online, it sounds like a very involved process and we had enough problems in the recent past just switching system admins.
